Turning a hobby into a business sounds so fun! But I bet it has its challenges too. What did you do for fun that you managed to monetize? I wanna hear all about how you went from hobbyist to entrepreneur!
Tell me, what struggles popped up as you worked to turn your passion into a profit? How did you push past them? Got any pro tips you can share to help other hobby lovers try to make it big? I love hearing stories of folks who bet on themselves and won.
This is how the majority of businesses are likely born. If you have a passion in something then it feels less like work and more like fun, so you can be willing to go the extra mile in the project. I know a mountain biking enthusiast who was always trying out lots of new gadgets and then decided to start importing products he likes in bulk, now he's making a lot of money every month by reselling these products on eBay. You definitely do have to become a jack of all trades when you're doing small scale businesses like this and he puts in long hours on top of a regular 9-5 jobs, but he enjoys doing both for now. Due to the heavy nature of the product and the fact he has it local, he can also beat overseas sellers on price most of the time.
