I am still struggling with this lesson. But ultimately yes. If I do not value my own time, no one else has an incentive to do that either. I have never charged money for any of my in-person mentoring before, either regarding bow making or hunting. I decided that will change from here on. I Zoomed with a woman last week who wants to make her first bow. I made it clear I expected monetary compensation, though if she can get me access to trees I can cut for staves I would accept that as partial payment depending on how many staves I end up with.

I have a few stories of teaching women in the past, one of them kept asking me to sit behind her on my shaving horse and guide her hands with the draw knife like I did the first time. I noticed this time she had put on perfume LOL.

I have no desire to turn a hobby into paying gig.
I did that with magic. I turned pro. and got burned out.
I don't want that to happen to archery.
