Description
The moment you charge for your passion, you stop being a hobbyist and become a business owner. You love what you do, so why does it feel like you're working for free? Monetizing a hobby without losing its soul is the tightrope walk of the modern creative. This book reveals the five traps that turn passion into burnout and the three shifts that turn it into real income. Through real stories of potters, coders, and bakers who crossed the line, you'll learn the pricing psychology that preserves authenticity. Stop treating your gift as a side project and start respecting it as a business-before your joy becomes unpaid labor. A tech pioneer who balanced profit with principles in volatile markets, delivering self-help ethics training, business strategies for sustainable ventures, and histories of tech policy battles.
