I agree with LoriS...to sort of paraphrase taking something I love and enjoy and into the have to get this done on a certain timetable basis would take the joy out of it for me.
It sounds like a dream to have your own QS and LA business if all you had to do was drool over all the lovely fabrics and visit with all the other quilters talking about projects and getting tips and advice. The reality is that is a very small part of all you would have to do.
Yes, I believe many people have the drive & fortitude to make their passions a reality. I thank God that they do because without them we'd all still be quilting like our ancestors did...
I am just grateful and thankful I can quilt for my family, friends and whomever else I want...enjoying each step as I go along without any committments.
