[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 191947, member: 1061"] It's tough trying to make this a full-time living. I tried for almost 3 years. There were months when I really thought I had turned a corner and would be able to make it, and months where we were flat broke. I definitely wasn't pulling in enough profit to acquire more gear to expand the business. So, I'm back to part-time...for now. The 9-5 grind isn't too bad. It's difficult working for someone else after being on my own. There are times when I just want to pull my hair out (LOL) and scream, "Why are you doing things this way?" At least now there's money to do things. I've re-branded and have new packaging on the way, and new business cards. My website received a long overdue upgrade. I'm focusing on having fun again. None of that would be possible without the 9-5. As I sit here this morning at my desk, looking out the window wishing I could be shooting or doing something that I want to do, I have to humble myself and remember what put me here in the first place: my own stubbornness and reluctance to adapt to what the market wanted. Being here has re-motivated and invigorated me. I'm gearing up for a big 2014, and making it my biggest yet. [/QUOTE]
