If you want to turn your hobbies into jobs, consider the following experts' suggestions. If you are a helpful person, you can teach others to do what you love. "Teach piano lessons, offer cooking classes, or teach another language if those are your passions. You can do this by teaching through a college or continuing education program, by creating your own classes, or by creating your own webinars or tele-seminar series online", Collamer says.

If you are not interested in teaching, appraise, repair or fix items related to what you love. Most hobbies have "stuff" connected to them, and sometimes, that stuff needs to be fixed by a skilled and knowledgeable person. "You could fix computers, appraise collectibles, repair bicycles, source missing parts for highly unusual items, and so on," Collamer says.

"The next time you find yourself confused as to how to generate income from your hobbies, search out the most successful entrepreneurs in your area of interest and study their business models and revenue streams," Collamer suggests. "Ask yourself: Is their income coming from consulting services, videos, accessories, events, classes or product sales? What is their mix of products and services? What is their pricing strategy?" In doing this, you will discover proven models for monetizing your hobbies, as well as helpful information about how to price your own services and products.

Mufson, who has interests outside of career coaching, says she managed to turn a hobby into a lucrative part- time gig. "I personally turned my hobby of creating gemstone jewellery into a side-line business," she explains. "Jewellery making is an expensive hobby and early on I decided to make it pay for itself. Since then I have developed two online stores and a relationship with a jewellery gallery that sells most of my work."

Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision.

Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question "What will I do after graduation?" A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.

A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to "What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?"

Question 20. According to decision-worksheet theory, an optimal decision is defined as one that _____.

      A. has the fewest variables to consider

      B. uses the most decision worksheet

      C. has the most points assigned to it

      D. is agreed to by the greatest number of people

Question 21. Which of the following terms is defined in the passage?

      A. Proponents (para. 1)

      B. Optimal (para. 1)

      C. Variables (para. 3)

      D. Long-range goals (para. 4)

Question 22. The word "essential" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________

      A. introductory

      B. fundamental

      C. changeable

      D. beneficial

Question 23. The author states that "On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once" (paragrap 3) to explain that________.

      A. people can learn to keep more than seven ideas in their minds with practice.

      B. most decisions involve seven steps.

      C. human mental capacity has limitations.

      D. some people have difficulty making minor as well as major decisions.

Question 24. The word "it" in paragraph 4 refers to________

      A. worksheet

      B. problem

      C. distinction

      D. decision

Question 25. What does the passage mainly discuss?

      A. A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions.

      B. Research on how people make decisions.

      C. A tool to assist in making complex decisions.

      D. Differences between long-range and short-range decision making.

Question 26. Of the following steps, which occurs before the others in making a decision worksheet?

      A. Listing the consequences of each solution.

      B. Writing down all possible solutions.

      C. Deciding which consequences are most important.
