I am not a professional crafter, not yet. I have some hesitation about becoming one. There are days where I say to myself: «It would be great to have my own business and maybe have an creative empire a la Martha Stewart». Other days, I feel the opposite. I don't know if it is a healthy questioning in the creative world.
There is also certain periods of the year that have a special theme (as yesterday's Halloween). If I become a professional, I would have to cater to those periods. Not all hollydays are equals. I feel some are more inspiring than other. In addition, coming back to those themes year after year makes me wonder if I could keep fresh content and items.
Another problem is to target an audience or potential customers. What could happen if I don't target the right demographics. I may have a perception of an audience but it may be appealing to another groups of people. It is important not be delusional. If I have a business, I want it to be successful based on reality.
Finally, my final question is the most important. Do I really wish to be on a professional level, do I have to go on that road to feel fufilled? It is the most delicate one because no one will answer that question for me. I hate when I feel to be on a fence. There are times that I want to makes decisions but I can't make it. In those times, I usually don't see any advantages or disavantages on either side. So, I think I need to think more about this big decision.
