Most writers spend years waiting for some invisible authority to tap them on the shoulder and say, “Alright then, you’re a professional now.” But here’s the uncomfortable truth: no council of writers is meeting in secret to approve your title.

From Idea to Income Stream: Practical Strategies
Your idea doesn’t need to make six figures to be worthwhile. The success of your idea is not the measure of your worth. But if income is your goal, be intentional. Be strategic.
