What would you do next?

Now that my job has officially moved overseas, I have all this ample time to figure out what I truly want to do, such as hobbies and stuff

I want to eventually turn a hobble into a paying one.

What are some ideas of what you all would do?

I want to eventually turn a hobby into a paying one.

As a person who did exactly this 25+ years ago..... I can safely say....

When you turn your hobby into a business, you no longer have a hobby....

(Because it is the last thing you want to do after working at it all day....)

Ideas? Find your niche. Something that no one else is doing as good as you can do it and still turn a respectable profit.

You have to find something that you really like and that will actually work as a going concern!
Something you can make a living from
If you want to be a hairdresser or cook see what qualifications you need !
Stay positive

Wow!

Hmmm...

To make money NOW:
- doing hair
- some cooking
- create hikes / walks where you can be the guide

As you go further:
- consider getting in with a stylist to either do hair there or for referrals
- figure out if you'd like to try a food cart / truck as a step toward having a restaurant; this could be a food stall/trailer for events (like at fairs, festivals, etc.) or a full food truck
- add hikes
- work on your art, this is a longer-term thing

@SomeMichGuy really appreciate you taking the time to write all this!! Sometimes I get overwhelmed with my big ideas that I forget to write the smaller steps down first. Thank you so much!

@SaraxKay Well, you are quite welcome. I was just trying to figure out matches between what you like and what people make money doing. 😊

But you have a good diversity of interests, so you could have various streams of income.
