A hobby turned into a Profession

 Hi friends, welcome to “Snehha Ke Vichar”.

We all are back to our normal routine after a good two years of the unwanted gap that happened because of the pandemic.

These two years taught us a lot of new things, the reality of life, got us close to our loved ones, showed us the importance of oxygen etc.

During this time, I happen to switch my business digitally.

From the time when I was travelling countries to do business to staying at home and getting connected virtually to anyone in any part of the world.

I grew my business in leaps and bounds.

Learned new technologies and spent more time online.

  Also, social media on the other hand kept me entertained and motivated.

Whenever I was bored of working, I would simply open one of the apps and get entertained in 15 seconds through reels and shorts.

I felt that’s a whole new world.

I observed that this world is divided into two groups, one performer (influencers) and the other one is an audience (followers).

I thought technology has got so advanced that it made life so easy.

One can easily make money through social media, one can learn new skillsets one can get a job and entrepreneurs like me can do their business easily.

This is the time when I started writing blogs.

I never thought I can ever be a blogger, but I am blessed to have a guiding angel in my life who always motivates me, helps me, pushes me and sees potential in me that I fail to see in myself.

Yes, you all guessed it right.

That person is my Mentor.

He taught me digital things.

He is the one who took me from an audience group to a performer group.

He simply asked me to jot down my thoughts in the blogs and I will be sorted.

So that’s how I started with my blogging journey.

But he told me one thing.

A writer is a reader first.

There is nothing called a good writer because some might like your writing some might not.

But every writer is a good reader.

There is a lot of reading happening before a writer writes anything.

So even if you are jotting down your thoughts, they should either come from the learnings from your experience or from the learnings from what you are reading.

Who knows which blog gives what learnings to who?

Hence, I started reading more and more books.

Soon I started liking reading and writing too.

And, that’s when I felt I have adopted two more hobbies.

And when my hobbies got converted into my habits I did not realise.

That is a power of a mentor in one’s life.

 

Initially I never had a vision about where I am heading  in this journey of reading and blog writing.

But my mentor always knew where this will take me.

I simply borrowed his vision and started walking the path.

From a non reader and so not a writer I started running a Book Reading Club and also became a blogger.

Reading not only helps me writing my blogs but also gave me wisdom.

And I did not realise that my mentor was preparing me to have two more sources of income which is on the verge to become a reality.

So that’s the journey of  “Snehha Ke Vichar”.

So what is that one hobby or a skill set that you got in the last two years?

Do let me know in the comments.

And if you too love reading or want to inculcate a hobby of reading, do join our Book Reading Club that happens every Saturday at 10AM to 11AM on zoom.
