Why Hobbypreneurs Need Jobpreneurship

A “Hobbypreneur” is a new term that I learned from a reporter from Fox News. It apparently is being used to represent a person who, whether working or not, finds ways to make his hobby into a part-time business and eventually a full-time business.

Since hobbies are often areas where someone is passionate enough to pursue, this is another way of saying that they pursued their passion and made it into their career.

The difference between a “job” and a “hobbypreneur” is that one can work for someone else who needs them to work in an area where they are passionate about or one who starts their own company based upon their hobby passion.

Jobpreneurship™ is a solution that applies to job seekers, career changers, career development, or entrepreneurs and hobbypreneurs. The knowledge and skills may shift in emphasis but the core understanding of product management, marketing, sales, relationships, procurement, finance, etc. are all business skills that need to be applied to anyone looking for work, trying to get a promotion, or starting their own company. That is why I keep referring to Jobpreneurship™ as applying to how to get a job, promotion, or new client. It is how to get the new client that should be of interest to entrepreneurs and hobbypreneurs.
