Is It a Money Thing?

I think it's am you know, back to the amateur thing. I've had a lot of photographers over the years that i've coached asked me, they're like, i'm scared to take the leap,. And i asked them, well, have you been able to prove that you've been able to make money in your craft? And they're ye, totally. The next step is is to figure out what your goal is for income, for the year an are you going to be able to produce that with thiske, this craft, or this position?
