Sam’s Hangout #133 - “PASSION, HOBBIES & PROFIT"

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Job


Hello, my lovely Hive Naija people. It’s another beautiful weekend, and we’re excited to have you here once again. A new weekend simply means another chance to buzz the Hive blockchain, connect with one another, and simply have fun. You'll also agree with me that there’s something special about bringing everyone together to gist, share opinions, and enjoy good vibes. That is exactly the reason we will continue to meet every weekend.

The responses were super amazing and we had over 25 comments filled with honest opinions, jokes, harmless banter, and fresh perspectives to learn from. The energy was truly contagious. Now, let’s see if we can beat our all-time high again this weekend, shall we? Please try to encourage responses by replying to one another. Remember, engagement is what makes this hangout special.

PASSION, HOBBIES & PROFIT

Now to our discussion for this weekend! We will be discussing "PASSION, HOBBIES & PROFIT”.
In a world where people are constantly encouraged to turn their passions into businesses and find ways to make money from their skills, it can feel like every talent or hobby should eventually become a source of income. While monetizing what you love can create opportunities, the financial pressure, deadlines, and clients' expectations can sometimes take away the joy that made you love it in the first place.

Here's the question!

Do you believe every talent or hobby should be monetized if there is an opportunity to make money from it? Do you think there is more advantage to it than disadvantages? How do you suggest people handle the difficulties that comes with turning everything they enjoy into a source of income, especially the business expectations of it?

OR

Have you ever turned a hobby or something you genuinely loved into paid work, only to find yourself losing interest or enjoyment over time? What changed, and did you eventually return to it purely for the love of it?

If you have a topic you would like us to discuss in our future hangouts, please feel free to suggest it to us in the comment section and tag @sam.hangout to it.


Okay Let's Gist!!!

Be as simple and sincere with the discussion, hehehe.

Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...

FRIDAY PLANS, OWANBE SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

To make our hangout more interactive, we have decided to add two events to spice it up.

On Saturdays, we share our owanbe stories, party gists, and even pictures.

On Sundays, we reflect on the weekend and things we learnt so far, as well as share plans for the new week.

Don't forget to join us!!

There are no strict rules as regards this weekend hangout. Feel free to speak any Nigerian language you like, whether Igbo, Yoruba, pidgin, Efik, or others, as long as it can be understood.

Please, do not take it to the extreme.

With all that said, let the discussion begin...

The topic of turning hobbies into profit is definitely a complex one. I am curious to see how everyone weighs in on the balance between passion and business.

Every talent should only be monetize when it is necessary or when you also need income to make that happen.

Happy weekend, everyone.
Well, I’m a firm believer of people enjoying their hobbies without feeling the need or pressure to monetize it. Some things are just more beneficial and satisfying when they remain exactly what they are - hobbies. However, when one is in dire need for an additional source of income or probably thinks they can manage turning their hobbies into profit, then I encourage them to do so because they know better.

I still encourage people who do not care to monetize every single thing to stick to keeping their hobbies just as they are because adding monetization can quickly turn what you once loved into something you’re willing to let go of.
