What are your hobbies?

[Brendan]

So we are all flat out getting our business set up, running them or being entrepreneurial in some way.. but what do you do to get away from it all? What hobbies do you have? Play any sports, travel, anything in particular?

[The Y-man]

I surf the net, and work on the garden.....

Cheers,

The Y-man

[justinsigns]

I have a vege garden and after this season is out, Im looking into backyard hydroponics just for a hobby.

Reading novels and playing my Wii.

[sreeja]

My hobbies are reading,listening to music,cooking etc.I have more interest in watching music programs in TV.

[Slade]

Lately my hobby has been house hunting.. looking at houses, different areas etc.. It's great fun.

Other than that I like getting on my bike and riding around town, great way to clear your head, and good exercise also!

[JamesGG]

Hiya,

I spend a lot of time with the girlfriend; checking out new cafes, bars and restaurants, daytrips, that sort of thing. Hanging out with the boys, playing pool and poker and enjoying a few beers.

I spend as much time as I can doing what's *fun*. Life is too short to waste my time on things that I don't enjoy. Even my work and investing stuff has to be fun, or I'll lose patience and get distracted and find something else to do instead :)

I'm also looking to move house in the next month or so, into a place out the back of the Dandenongs. Just somewhere quiet that I can escape from the world. Me, my girl and my dogs. Peace. That's the only thing that I feel that I might be missing at the moment.

Cheers

James.

One of my hobbies is Martial Arts, I am a 3rd Dan Black belt in Taekwon-do, and I often teach and compete.. its great fun and I have been doing it for about 10 years now.

I have also been doing a bit of yoga to compliment my Taekwon-do, this has been great not only for flexibility but has improved my concentration and focus :)

I also love to travel.. hence why I am in the UK, and love getting out and racing my cars :P

Ohh....(makes mental note: do not cross Brendan...):D

haha, its only used for good.. never evil, well not yet :)

[HWT]

The lines between hobbies and things that might pay off in the future is very blurred.

Renovate for a hobby, but on the IP it is more of a business thing.
Tinker with computers but also fix them for money.
Run a hobby website but can also do those for profit.
Like to do gardening, but the IP also needs landscaping.
Plan A won't pay off for so long that it pretty much counts as a hobby right now.
And of course, we have a baby who tries her best to stop us from doing all of the above. Are babies work, hobby or business? ;)

[justinsigns]

HWT

"Are babies work, hobby or business? "
Im unsure myself, we just had our first and they are alot of work so my wife tells me.

I only have to bath and entertain her when she is awake.

[sforrester]

Diving, Mountain Bike riding, speding time with my girlfriend and sailing.

[bigstar]

the aus open has inspired me to take up tennis again.

[Hayley]

I'm into craft and stuff but I don't do it regularly, just when the mood strikes. I have heaps of supplies and I make cards when there's a birthday or something. I have an old mirror that I am going to decoupage with Japanese paper. That's my new project.
I also like baking. I find that very therapeutic.
I love clothes, and consider my appearance to be a hobby. I enjoy coming up with new outfits or hairstyles, and getting new cuts and colours in my hair. I'm fairly vain!
My boyfriend and I do a lot of eating. We always go out for meals on the weekend. There's a big variety out there! It's a passion we share.
We go camping fairly often too. We have a troop carrier with a swag in the back so we can go whenever we want. It's hard to have a weekend without any social invitations though. You have to plan ahead. It makes it hard to be spontaneous.

[JohnsonKee]

Hmm...

sports, particularly badminton, table tennis and working out with weights.

reading, particularly self-development of recent.

spending time with friends as usual I guess.

Standard sort of stuff?

Cheers,

Johnson.

[seopiper]

i love to sing videoke with my friends, surfing net and go shopping.
i recently start playing badminton with my sister 'cause many people find it as a good sports.

[RyanChadwick]

aggressive skating and rock climbing.

I actually find it interesting on reflection that both of these are risk oriented sports. There are many aspects of both that are all or nothing. Quite similar to being an entrepreneur in many respects.

[bettyw7679]

Hello !
I am also a new member. Would a newcomer be warmly welcome here? Good day you guy !

[newman]

Hobbies... as a small business owner I rarely get time for hobbies - I'm sure most would agree - having said that I guess art (or is that more of a passion) and i'm keen to get into some woodwork

[cashurwheels]

I used to practise Karate as a kid but stop at the brown belt :( Am now considering i Krav Maga is the way to go. I have recently taken up Kundalini yoga and I am an advanced Pranayam practitioner :) I agree yoga does improve the concentration significantly.

[superalex]

Radio controlled planes - yup I know I'm a nerd!

Getting outdoors is a great escape from the office, and furthermore, it's very satisfying to see a plane I built actually fly! (Even more satisfying when I land it safely hehe)!

[ValUenique]

Hi Brendan, Thanks for posting up a great thread! I enjoy playing most sports such as oztag, touch football, tennis in my spare time! I am also a passionate rugby league supporter so I enjoy going to watch some live games whenever I can. Besides that I enjoy writing in my journal, watching comedy tv shows, reading, cooking and spending time with family and my dogs

[nickiedavedolores]

[silkinteriors]

My wallpaper business is bit like my hobby - I love it.

I also love reading. I'm constantly churning through a real mix of books, from non-fiction through to young adult fiction. I spend a lot of money on books. But that's OK, my husband is just glad I'm not mad about shoes or clothes shopping in general :)

[stevanz]

i would say internet? heheh. i love to travel around the world as well.

[Will]

Reading, poker, online poker, basketball, oztag, fishing (public holidays).....eating out, spending time with friends....but out of all of them I find poker and fishing just so similar to business

It's the simple things that help me relax - watching a movie when hubby and kids are asleep for the night, taking my time in the bath, going out for coffee and cake alone.

[eversuccesseful]

Leisadent
I'm with you a good comedy movie or leave the computer at home and go and sit and have a coffee not in to the cake as some of the cakes today cost 6>7 dollars and aren't that good

[aajvcad]

bike, swim or jog and as you get into the rhythm that's when I do problem solving
not analytically more along the lines of just repeating the word that's holding you up
and finding an answer/solution by the time you reach your front door again

[Kai]

I catch up with mates, hit the gym or play poker with APL (Australian Poker League).

Freelancing is a great option for some who likes to work with others and in gaining more opportunities. Good money, control of your own working hours, no uniform, choice of work and you are your own boss are just few of the good things in freelancing. The only problem is having clients to keep your business running. Whether you have been freelancing for a long or short time, you have to have constant communication with lots of different clients.

[videoExplainers]

My most of time expend on net, I also love to traveling , play cricket ......

[Dunworking]

I do love to see an exponent of the noble art of cricket. Very much looking forward to the T20 game today and seeing Australia building on the test series win over India. Should be a good indicator of how we'll perform in the ODIs, where the Indians will be much stronger.

[elitebag]

[jonnymarshal]

My favourite hobby is playing video games. Mass Effect is my most favourite game. It has excellent graphics and nice functionality. I am a big fan of how the game feels thus far. Having RPG elements yields a lot of control over how your character plays on the field.
