If I had a side project that was bringing in five figure monthly revenue it would become my regular job pretty quickly. Are you hesitating because you don't think the revenue is going to last?

No, the revenue seems like it will last. But revenue is not profit, and I have a family to take care of and I'm the breadwinner. Plus, my regular job is good. Leaving my regular job for VSUAL right now would mean a 20x reduction in income, and I can't support myself on that. In time, hopefully that divisor gets smaller.
