And after the teaching was sufficient and Jesus returned to where he came from they were given God's Holy Spirit himself. And then they could really get on with the job.
Modern people fishers could do worse than follow that plan: make sure you've left everything else as secondary occupations so that you can follow Jesus. Watch and listen to what Jesus said and did (read the gospels). Understand what he was doing (keep reading the whole bible). Make sure you believe what he said for yourself. Make sure that God's Holy Spirit has been given to you. Then keep on with the job of looking for people who will follow Jesus.
And you could be a writer as well. Or a teacher. Or a problem solver. Or a healer. And you could be all that while you were following your secondary occupation.
