That’s literally it. Oh you want to get into this industry that I’m in? That’s already highly competitive? And you want my advice? Why, pull up a chair and have a seat! I’ll tell you all about it!

Said no one ever. As with any industry, the moment you go from hobby to business it’s cut-throat. This isn’t a photography specific scenario.
