I know how it is to start off making things that you love then slowly realizing with a few tweaks that "people would buy the crap out of this" and then the money, exposure, ect gets in the way. It has happened to me before. That is when I take a step back and realize why I am making something...I make it for me because I love it. Very interesting article.

It does take time, in general to establish a shop, as well as targeting the right market. You should always make what you love & sometimes adjust it to what the market is looking for.
