YOUR HOBBY AND WORK REALLY DO GO HAND-IN-HAND
There is a lot of talk about people starting their own business based on a hobby. Jewelry making. Pottery. Sewing. Cabinet Building. Entrepreneur Magazine gives some great ideas on how to get started. But that’s not the only way to turn your hobby into a career. Your hobby and work can really help each other over time.

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a hobby as “a pursuit outside one’s regular occupation.” But I’ll tell you this:

MY JOB FUELS MY HOBBY.
And I love it. A hobby provides pleasure. It provides a sense of accomplishment. It is a way to relax.

My hobby is fixing up cars. My work is preventative maintenance on big rigs. My hobby and work really do go hand-in-hand.

Front Hub Repair – Hobbies and WorkEvery day I am challenged to ensure these big rigs are ready to hit the road in top performance condition and every day I walk away with ideas that will help with my next hobby project.

While I am at work, I get to practice my skills and even learn new ways of tackling challenges that come along. Those skills really make me excel in my hobby. It’s a great thing to work in this environment because I really do love my hobby and work. To do what you love at work and to be able to take home ideas for my hobby is like a dream come true.

Anything from a simple tail light fix to a complicated engine repair keeps me on top of my game. So you can see how these go together so well.
