I suppose that most of us started in an almost organic way. We did our stuff for us, expanded to family and friends and suddenly we had people requesting our help and offering money.
But the path to become a professional is not without bumps.
On my country, mages are like prostitues. There are no laws against it, but many people don't like it. And it is more comum to see a "mage"sued for fraud than to see a prostitute accused of anything.
Iif you work on the South of Europe, and you receive your payment in cash your biggest problem is usually to keep your clients happy. Buuuttt..., sometimes you want to do it in a completely legal way, and pay your taxes like the model citizen you are. Then you have a problem. Sorcerer, Magician;Witch are not recognized as professions. Your alternative is to register yourself as an astrologer, card reader and/or a worker in alternative medicine. Sometimes you can work with companies that provide that kind of services, and you pay a percentage to the company. However choose wisely. In the South of Europe the companies usually take from you an average of 30 to 35% of what you charge to the client. On the North of Europe, more specifically in Germany companies with tarot/spiritual counseling hotlines will charge 40% of what you receive from the client, and if you organize a working by e-mail. they will charge 50%..
So, if you want to be a model citizen, choose wisely. Whenever possible work alone or with another professional sorcerer (or sorcerers).
