Try to take on a student or two. If they keep coming back, keep teaching them and try to pick up a few more. Repeat until your schedule is full. Simple as that.

I would take with a grain of salt TB member opinions (no offense to anyone) about whether or not you're ready to do this or that and charge for your services (although you did ask).

I beleive my wife and two children would disagree!!! Teaching is how I feed my family and put roof over their heads. Don't get me wrong, I love teaching. I just can't see supporting a family on gigs alone.
