In one medium sized mind combine the following:

A ton of financial investment

Several training sessions

Conflicting tools of the trade

More no’s than you know what to do with

The odd job or no job at all

Several confusing budgets

One home made demo eventually upgrading to an expensive version

One or more agents (or many who say no)

Home version studio (that you will have to consistently invest in)

Tons of research

Little to no drive or follow through

Tons of passion, dedication and determination

Several online sites who promise you work

Many subscriptions

More social media groups than you have time for

An unpredictable pay check from one week to the next

Once you’ve truly combined these ingredients, you wonder how this recipe will ever survive. If you are smart and you invest in training and learning the craft, you’ll spend a lot of money and time trying to find where you belong, the right marketing materials and skill set, business skills and a method that will give you quick return.
