+1 @ the \"driven in photography\" ... but that alone won\'t cut it in the perpetual competitive ranks of business, you\'ve got to put in a likewise \"driven in business\" that many have already referred to via \"marketing\" etc.
It often times isn\'t the lack of photgraphic talent, but rather the lack of business acumen talent that makes for the distinction/separation ... which historically is greatly underestimated by the multitudes of amateurs with great talent.
The OP question is \"age old\" (imo) that presents the case of a sword that is \"ultra-sharp\" on one edge and dull on the other vs. a sword that is \"sharp-enough\" on both sides. Go into battle ... which sword do you want to be holding? Both sides need to be sharpened to a level of \"effectiveness\" (at a minimum) ... and most amateurs spend their time sharpening the photography side (which yields accolades), while ignoring the business side (which yields $$$).

The OP question is \"age old\" (imo) that presents the case of an \"ultra-sharp\" single-edge sword vs. a \"sharp-enough\" double-edged sword. Go into battle, and sooner or later you wind up with two \"sharp enough\" swords ... a single edged vs. a double edged. Which sword do you want to be holding?
