“HOBBYIST: Earns his living outside music, his career is first, music is second.” —Bob Lefsetz

*“If that product, service, or skill is dusty in the corner of your garage--or your attic or your brain--and you break it out a few times a year, you're a hobbyist” —Travis Collier

In the rule of the garage, the hobbyist tinkers. The hobbyist just buys the tools, but never puts in the work. They don’t even master the tools they want to use.

Think about the weekend your friend got the urge to start a landscaping business. They buy the gear, but it’s been in the garage growing rust the last two years. They thought it was too hard, didn’t consider building business before buying the heavy equipment.

What does this mean for your transition? You can’t be a hobbyist about what you want next. You have to be focused on putting the work in—you have to even enjoy the work you have to do. Even when it sucks. Imagine if someone was a hobbyist in uniform?
