Default From Hobby to production

What's your success story? I guess you could say I'm too inexperienced to take the leap to pro or maybe too apprehensive. But its a dream I aspire to. I've never taken any metal forming classes or worked in any shops, but I've made do so far with reading and research and hand tools . Some how I went from working in the engineering field to working in the banking field and It's not a step I enjoyed taking.

My dream would be to get back to the hands on. I'd like restore everything and anything. Not so much just cars.
I took formal welding classes and am just finally getting good enough with the tig to do thin body panels with out constantly blowing holes ( i used to mig them) but I've concentrated more in the last year on getting the work nice in metal and just touching up with fillers.

How did you decide when the time was right for you to start operating professionally?
