Work second.
Why is this so complicated for professionals, marketers and other artists to understand?
People first not only in the sense of what you create for them, but in being an idol, a teacher and a respected professional.
Work for the sake of work or money will only get one so far. Work for the sake of doing what you’re passionate about and inspiring/teaching others who share that same passion – now that is remarkable.
There will always be people in your work life that seek what you have for free that will ask for free lessons or to shadow you. The easy move is to charge them and give nothing for free. The much harder move is to be human and take each request on a case-by-case basis.
You’ll make more people happy and keep your profession alive that way.
By the way, being the only one in your profession really doesn’t make you that special. And if you’re going to have competition, it might be better to have close ties with them to begin with.
