## Resource

There is no hard and fast ‘business or hobby?’ number, so let’s explore how it works. To start with, let’s keep it simple. A hobby = done for fun. Probably one off or done rarely. A business = done to make money. Consistently. However, it’s not what you call it. It’s how it looks. Hey thanks for listening!
