Pretty funny. I think he's making some good points.

#7 was extra special: If you are in photography for the money, you picked the wrong career.  By choosing a genre just for the money you are setting yourself up for destruction. Eventually, you will burn out and without the wild fire and passion inside you, your business will not grow. Do what you love and you will get good at it.

Some points apply to me, therefore I wont be a successful photographer, but success can only be defined by ones self. I think for me, I have been somewhat successful, depending on my expectations, which I have exceeded already. 

My twitter feed is chock full of people advising other people how not to fail at everything - largely because they themselves discovered early on they were useless at everything and it was easier to make money pointing other people in the (not necessarily) right direction. Guaranteed to wind me up but I attract them with targeted hash tags so I can in turn pimp my snaps to them.

Those who can't make a living doing something, become teachers. (not a shot at anyone here, that came from my college days) 

Some parts are useful, like one person can't be an expert at everything? Or how "Consistently blowing off other people and their comments will prevent you from being successful." But most of it could be found in any sensible view of treating anything as a business.

It was intended as amusement not the answer to the meaning of life... (which I know, but I can't reveal)

Got It.

Also I should have added that people who can't make good photos or have no art talent for Microstock, often become reviewers.    (oh oh I see my rejection percentages going up now)

Uncle Pete - fun list, and I'm happy to see I don't have to worry at all about Signs 1-3

I liked the gear centric one.  I am contstantly asked by non photographers (and by other photogs) what gear, etc I am using with the implications that I am so skilled BECAUSE of my gear.

There's a much-quoted line from a famous wildlife photographer who says that whenever non-photogs admire his images, they usually say something like: "Wow, you must have some great lenses!"

And his standard answer is something like: "Yes, I do have some great lenses. But not once have those lenses ever gotten up before dawn and gone out in the cold to make images all by themselves."

I am admittedly terrible at marketing. That is why I don't do photography as my primary income.  Doesnt matter that I am an excellent landscape photographer, I am terrible at selling myself as a brand.   So, I will always just do photography as a hobby that pays for itself

I could have written exactly the same thing. I've been shooting birds and other wildlife (with great Canon "L" lenses) for decades, but never did it have to be my primary income. So no, I don't pretend to be a pro. Just one of those dreaded "hobbyists" who loves being out in nature, producing fine images, and earning enough from them to feed my habit.
