It depends on your personality and your motivations. If you're intrinsically motivated to practice your hobby, you may not want extrinsic motivators. On the other hand, if you're naturally a business/entrepreneurial type who is extrinsically motivated (motivated by money), then yeah you may really enjoy turning your hobbies into businesses. I think it's unusual though. Hobbyists in general seem to be intrinsically motivated by their interest in the hobby itself. I know I personally am not motivated by money at all, seeing it as a necessary evil to survive in this competitive society. My goal is to earn enough money to have a stable and secure lifestyle, with enough free time to pursue my hobbies.
