There is some sage advice in this video. I picked up a camera twenty-five years ago and started shooting professionally (portraits) in the last five - all while maintaining a full-time career. Taken in steps and with moderation - you can and will succeed.

Yes, you're right. People shouldn't be dropping their regular job to focus on photography. Nowadays, cameras are affordable to anyone and the competition is just too high to succeed fast.

I’m glad you decided to create this video. I’ve been wanting to take big steps to add that pressure to myself, so that I’d finally turn this into an actual business, but felt like I was aiming too high and doing it backwards. For me it’s a total ADHD thing. If I don’t have that pressure then I’ll never get around to it. Need the fire under my butt. Anyways, I’m glad you suggested it because I feel more validated in my plans. Thanks again.

9:15 Can confirm, I've been on this earth over half a century and I've seen a lot of people that most would consider very successful that have very good paying jobs, own a nice property, drive a nice late model car and have all the intelligence and imagination of a common house cat. But they are motivated, dedicated, and persistent and they suit up and show up when it's required.

Thanks! I liked this video and the conclusion about the "passive participant" quote. I have had this problem forever about pushing back because this or that was not perfect. Now I constantly remind myself that "done is better than perfect". After 10 years of practicing photography as a hobby, I have become professional (as a side job first because it is possible to register officially and have a day to day job here). Allows me to grow this business at my own pace with less pressure.

Hi, I’d also recommend for those getting going to look at what other income streams they have potential for and create an umbrella corporation. I’m a gardener so I have a generic UK Ltd company name and I’m listed as an artist. I then have several “trading as” personas under that. One is as a photographer and videographer, sound recordist and one is as a gardener. I’m a horticultural photographer so it’s perfectly legitimate to earn income as a gardener which buys lenses etc for the photography. You could be a tailor and a photographer as long as everything is recorded correctly there shouldn’t be an issue. This might help some get going with earning to set up the business whilst still paying the rent. You can keep them separate and no customer needs to conflate the two businesses and think you’re not as professional as they thought.

I was trying to find videos on how to get started with Photography Workshops but this was really helpful as well :) I know I am capable of turning my passion into something more but I often feel as if I am a passenger in my own life, simply observing, not taking action or putting in the effort to get to the next step. I think it has a lot to do with not having enough pressure/deadlines. I am getting happily desperate now though. Thanks again, Kevin Bobby
