Precisely, PacificFlights! If they can cook a mean dish of shrimp, they should supply a catering business or maybe run a shrimp truck. They need to focus on the cooking of shrimp, not running a restaurant. If they can take pictures, they should be out there taking pictures and not trying to have a full on photography business. Work with one client at a time, provide them with the pictures they need and skip the rest. Loving beer and figuring out how to brew a great beer and providing it to a bar might be an option for the person with a passion for beer. They need to focus on what they do great and skip the rest of the being in business part.

Just cause a person loves beer don't mean they can run a bar. i know lots o folks that know things and are really smart at what they do, but they probably suck as a businessman cause all they know is how to do that job, not how to run the bsuiness side of things. They are darn good owrkers and smart as a whip on doing their skilled job, but will screw the pooch big time if it was a business they needed to run.

Yeah, according to my Photo Studio Management professor, studio photographers average 2 days of non-photography work for every day of paying photography work. That goes back to what I said about doing mundane tasks all day. The biggest part of running a business is the paperwork, from taxes and bookkeeping to advertising and stocking supplies, besides repairs and upkeep.
