Since more than 1/2 of my painting "business", comes from the 914 community, I thought this would be the best place to ask questions. Plus, I know many of you have turned a hobby into a busines; either part time or full time.

I'm staying part time for now since my unemployment only lasted a few weeks. But, I want to continue to progress by making my hobby more professional. How should I do this?

Problems that have come up before are:
-Underestimated time to complete project
-Underestimated time aloted for painting (family and real job come first)
-Pricing
-People wanting product or at least for me to start on a product prior to paying.


Thoughts?
