Turning Hobbies Into Hustles

Molly Conway writes that this is a trap, and quotes Adam J. Kurtz:

“Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life work super fucking hard all the time with no separation or any boundaries and also take everything extremely personally.”

Which, aside from being relatable to anyone who has tried to make money from something they truly care about, speaks to an underrepresented truth: those with passion careers can have just as much career anxiety as those who clock in and out of the mindless daily grind.

In other words, be very careful about building a business around something you’re passionate about 😍

Here an article + video I made on the topic, and So Good They Can’t Ignore You is excellent for deeper reading.
