A happy hello to all our readers. Welcome to the<br />
very first issue of <strong>How</strong> <strong>it</strong> <strong>is…</strong><br />
‘Living the Dream”<br />
Everyone has a dream job and everyone would love to pursue this dream job.<br />
Is <strong>it</strong> a necess<strong>it</strong>y to enjoy the job you do? The answer, of course, is No. But as the saying goes: “If<br />
you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life!”<br />
Ask yourself: If you were to pursue your dream job, would you be able to sustain the lifestyle that<br />
you want?<br />
In the current world economic s<strong>it</strong>uation this could defin<strong>it</strong>ely be a big risk.<br />
What do you stand to gain but also what do you stand to lose?<br />
Decide how important your goal is, is <strong>it</strong> worth the risk?<br />
If you feel that your dream job is attainable, this is<br />
the magazine for you.<br />
We aim to introduce you to artists and crafters who<br />
will inspire you to set realistic goals towards one day<br />
achieving your dream job.<br />

when I decided to spend<br />
more time doing art.<br />

sell your products online,<br />
instead of the trad<strong>it</strong>ional<br />
way? Which type of client<br />
would you target when<br />
selling online?<br />
