It takes serious planning and visualization over several years to excel at a demanding hobby. It requires dedication for the sake of its intrinsic rewards. These sorts of hobbies rarely have the potential to "turn into a business." Any serious practitioner has effectively self-selected as a person who has the means, makes the time, and has a passion for the pursuit of personal fulfillment.
