Ep. 308: Why Turning Your Hobbies Into Businesses is A Bad Idea - a podcast by Danny-J Johnson & Jill Coleman
from 2023-11-29T19:06:15.148034
Everyone needs a hobby, but should every hobby be monetized? We’ve all heard the saying, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” We call bullshit on that. Yes, we love what we do most of the time, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have moments where we hate it juuuust a little. That’s true of any hobby-turned-business; when you start to put pressure on something you love, you might feel a little less joy from it. So maybe you can make a little side income from your photography or knitting passion, but that doesn’t mean it has to be your full-time job.
