First, make a list of hobbies you can do on your own. These are activities you can enjoy without needing other people to participate. Second, brainstorm products and services you can deliver while pursuing these hobbies (e.g. handmade jewelry, baked goods, family portraits, etc.). Third, identify the hobby that offers the simplest and easiest path to the market. That’s your ideal hobby, at least in the context of starting a side business.
