How much do you need to make a day?

If you are working a job that makes $50K a year or less and come into this industry then you must make $133 a day to sustain your life. If you plan on leaving that job and making more than you did while in that field, you must make more.

If your goal is to buy a bigger house, a newer car and invest money for retirement while having your own insurance and what not, you need $250 a day minimum.

If you want to own a large home, but not in Malibu, and drive a $50K+ car and be flashy while still being able to invest, you need $500 a day minimum.

If you want to live in Malibu, drive a $80K+ car and be extremely flashy while having money left over to invest you need $1000 a day.

If you make more than $1000 a day you have definately "made" it so long as you are in a situation where you can easily sustain it. If you have to post galleries, update blogs, crop thumbs and do a shitload of shit to keep the money flowing and cannot dream of taking 2 weeks off then you have not made it and need to invest your income in a way that will allow you to do this.

It can be as simple as hiring an employee or multiple employees. Never partner, always hire people and make sure to have them sign contracts saying you own the work they create and they cannot use your propriatory methods else where.
