I personally know of many successful business persons that started their respective businesses as a part time hobby, my father started his business as a sideline to employment at that time in his life.
In fact, on another forum frequented by many regular professionally working photographers, times are getting so hard for some of them, that the only way they're going to survive into the future as a photographer is to get a part time job(in any industry) to pay their bills.
