5.      Importing ( rattan swing chair for

6.      Tour guide ( 2011 certificate)

7.      Tour leader ( 2011 certificate)

So I made that my goal.

By the age of 42, I finished my 9 to 5 working patten. Start to fulfill my dream to became a free worker. How to get paid from my hobbies.  In 2008 , I have a good start and selling the warmth cloth in the winter. Due to my work experienced, in this period of time, I work 3 hours (12:00-15:00) a day and seven days a week. And the revenues is about 5 times salary of regular time work. Right time, right products, and right location those products were become hot seller.

The first step is to get certificate of tour guide and tour leader.

Now I make a comfortable living from the above seven hobbies — though sometimes I prefer the terms “avocations” or “callings,” as they better reflect my seriousness

In short, I feel as if I haven’t had a regular “job” since 2008. I’m riding out the recession just fine — staying busy during the course of the day with what strikes my mood. Often, that means writing in the morning, making the following schedule  in the afternoon, and always carrying my Canon camera while on errands.
