agree and Ill takek advantage to add this:
know the fundamentals, know your equipment and how to setup it.
Better equipment increases your possibilities and make your art easy, but is not a excuse to dont take good photos with you have.

Thx, I’ll be doing some research about my equipment

If movies can be filmed entirely with a smartphone, you can be a professional photographer with just a smartphone. Don't get caught up on your lack of a DSLR. Don't use that as an excuse. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are at.
Publish your work. Real artists ship.
Create every day. Go sicko mode. Create so much you start to hate it, then back off to find the sweet spot. I can't understate this enough. If you feel inadequate about what you're creating, you probably aren't creating enough. The creative process involves 99999 dirt per 1 diamond. This droprate is unavoidable.
If you're founding a business, expect to work for free for a time. Most businesses don't make a profit till year 3.
Don't build a product until you find a customer.
Show up, do the work. Get paid. Repeat.
Occasionally ask yourself, "is there anything I'd rather be doing?" Keep doing it only if it's your ikigai.
Good luck!
