Go for it! You totally have the ability.
Also, I am still watching the shelves at the bookstores for "Willow's Angry Recipes". Just a thought. Lusty could do the photography. I will eat the food.

Me too! I was thinking about it just the other day...

Good luck, Will!

I fully support following your dreams!!!

Also, if the "phone farm" helps get you there... GOD BLESS THEM!

Do you have an etsy store? If so, I'd love to see it!

:)

Congratulations! You'll want to make sure your budget allows for at least 18 months before you start to show any sort of profit, but doing what you love is far more important than money.

(I know - I worked for big money for far too long, and wound up losing my mind.)

Willow, I love that you are telling naysayers to shut the hell up. If you want to succeed at something, you need to surround yourself with positive intention towards your goal. Having said that, I think you also need to have a realistic expectation of what you can achieve and how long it will take you. I don't know much about what you are trying to do, I just mean about anything you decide to take on. You should spend a lot of time planning and mapping out what you are trying to do and try to come up with as many roadblocks as you can. Then, when you have all the roadblocks you can think if, try to come up with the best way to navigate them. Once you have done that, start asking people if they can think of anything else that might go wrong and how to deal with it. There are some things that you just aren't going to have an answer for, but the more prepared you are, the better you will be able to deal with anything that happens. It would also be a really good idea to model your behavior after someone who has done what you want ( ... )
