If You Knew You Wouldn't Fail...

[reciprocity]

I would probably go all in on a studio for printing and game writing!

I think that's pretty much guaranteed to fail though so it's a good thing I haven't done.

Run for elected office!

Write a book

I would finish my fine arts degree and get an MFA. Then I would open up a studio hosting painting parties/workshops for kids and adults.

MrsC - I don't know that you need a degree to do it. If you build an awesome program, starting with mommy and me, through adult, I totally think you could make it work.

I guess so I don't feel like I have the skills to teach older kids or adults but I could work towards it.
There's one in the next town over that's hugely popular. If we end up moving a little further away (which is entirely possible), there's definitely a market for it!

Oh and start my own photography business. The market is extremely saturated though and I don't think I have the stomach for the number of hours it would take to compete. Especially because there's a lot of weekend work required. Doing that would severely limit my family time with the kids on weekends as I get older. Plus, not that talented. I'm an ok amateur but would need to learn a LOT before I could go pro.

Failing has never scared me, now not being able to find more time, that is the trouble spot!

I totally agree. It's fun to shoot my family and occasional friends, but I couldn't stomach the hours and business aspects for so little cha-ching

I think I just wouldn't like the pressure to deliver consistently perfect pictures.

Well especially if the subjects decide to be non cooperative or whatever.

[SoonerTexan]

Yes, that is what has kept me. It really would take a lot of work and money up front to be profitable and safe from a liability aspect. Don't have the time right bow

Plus, I feel like there's this perception that "any mom with a camera" thinks they can set up a photography business. I know of at least 2 women at my church who have tried and failed to do it. Now, I don't think there work was any good based on what they put out there as portfolios but it's intimidating having to cultivate clients/put out perfect pictures, etc.

Independent consulting. Make my own hours and work from home half the time.
Better yet.... own a petting zoo/ ranch.

I'd become a hotelier with amazing properties around the world. It's not fear of failing that's holding me back though, it's just the lack of $$.
