Recently I bought a magazine dedicated to Scale Model Trains. There inside was an article about the Milwaukee Train fest. This is the third year they have held it and 21,621 railroad fans attended. I got my answer to something I wondered about. There are fans like me out there. I remembered my Uncle and his favorite hobby, which was his train set. It was a long time ago, but what I do remember was the smoke rising from the locomotive. I can still picture the little villages, people, and the way he could control the track. One time the train would go this way and the next it would go another.
I can still hear the whistle blow and the crossing bell. Those were really fun times. I looked forward to Christmas and watching Uncle Joe play with his Model Toy Train. Another thing that amazed me was the detail of everything. In this young boys eyes it was a miniature version of the real thing. One year he had snow on the tracks and I was concerned that it would derail the trail. Looking back I’m sure he got a kick out of that. The magazine I bought goes into detail about different types of Model Toy Trains, including HO,N and large scales. You can now use digital controls. From the novice to the engineer there is a train set out there for every fan. I also noticed a lot of people that are collectors. My life today is a far cry from those innocent days, but I’d love to go back and watch that train run around that track one more time.
We’d all love to make a fabulous living doing what we love to do. And often it’s really possible.
Yet, I was speaking with someone who wanted to make a living as an artist. This isn’t any particular person, because I’ve had this conversation with folks numerous times. And, it’s not always about art. Sometimes it’s about coaching. Sometimes it’s about cooking. Sometimes it’s about walking dogs.
They spoke to me at length about how much they loved doing art, and how it fed their soul, and how important it was to their well-being. Very inspiring stuff, and it felt great. But, when I asked them, “How do you want to help other people with your artwork?” they couldn’t answer me.
“It’s art! It exists for its own sake. It should have value in and of itself.”
This person was right. Art does exist for its own sake. And it does have value in and of itself. But, there is a difference between doing something purely to please yourself, and doing something with a consciousness that you are giving and serving others.
While there are many reasons to start a business, there is only one essential reason that allows it to thrive: helping people with some challenge they are facing. Income in a business only comes from customers. While funding may come from loans, or angel investors, or venture capitalists, eventually the allowance runs dry, as we saw in the 1990’s with the dot-com bust. Read more...

If you’re not yet pursuing a hobby, your reason may be one or more of the following:
I don’t have the time to maintain a hobby. I don’t have the money to maintain one. I think people will make fun of my hobby. I don’t know what hobby to have. I think maintaining a hobby is a waste of time money and energy. Hobbies are for folks who have nothing to do; I’m not one of them. I used to have a hobby but now I’m too busy to maintain it. I’m too old or young to have a hobby.
While your reasoning may be true “to some extent”, it cannot be 100 percent true. These are all just your point of view. We’ve all heard of the example of one person describing a half glass of water as half full and the other, half empty. Similarly, there is always a way to have and maintain a hobby which will take up as few resources as you can afford. But why have a hobby in the first place?
1. Hobbies are a good past time, a way to get away from the mundane boring life that most of us live through.
2. Hobbies have found to have a therapeutic effect by reducing stress.
3. Hobbies keep the mind active and creative, which is a good exercise for the brain. Mental exercise is as important as physical exercise. Read more...
