I agree with Demaestro's thoughts (and the other good posts here) -you do need to diversify to protect your business. I did a longer post on this subject nearly five years ago -most of the points still apply and there are some good replies too -it's at:
[webmasterworld.com...]

Incidentally, I never took up the webmaster thing full time as I have my own completely different business. My web earnings have declined a lot since the heady days of 2005 but I still keep active on it my my spare time -it gives me a lot of confidence in running my main business.

Anyway, congratulations and good luck.
