However the passion has to be sustained and if the money is not coming in the passion might die. So, be prepared for the long haul. Doing it part time at least allows the opportunity to test the waters and build confidence and experience.

It helps to have an idea of how you will make money, but it's not required, the money will come. Heck, anyone ever heard of the little red paperclip? That kid attracted a house, free and clear, out of a paperclip. I firmly believe that by law if you find your purpose, and pursue it, money has to follow.

If you're younger it's much easier to go with your passions and try to make a living of what you love. If you're good and passionate at something it will most likely be possible to make money. Sometimes a little and sometimes huge amounts. Pursuing passion later in life is find but there must also be some kind of safety net involved to avoid having the family on the street in six months if things go poorly. If you just focus on profitability, odds are you wont be successful just like you pointed out. There is a reason most people fail, it's not easy to build your own business.

Pure passion towards an endeavor has the power to automatically attract both of those forces in satisfying amounts. Therefore, there's no need to balance creativity and profitability when your already attracting so much of these energies so effortlessly.
