Not many of us like our jobs and for some that's enough to consider living the dream and doing what they love as their own boss – something that could be achieved with the right finance options.

A new survey from Streamline.net has found that 56% of business bosses say they would consider starting a new business related to their passions like traveling or their favourite sports and pastimes – they know that doing what you love would not only make your life better but it could offer you a profitable line of income.

Tough times make people look for happiness – 53% of business bosses say that the recession has made them re-think their work and life balance. For many that means looking at why they are working and what they can do to work less – part of that might be reducing outgoings, something that can be achieved with the help of a good financial adviser.

Steve Holford, marketing director of Streamline.net says: "Britain’s small business owners have weathered challenging times, however, the data suggests that the entrepreneurial spirit is very much alive. More owners are keen to start out in a totally new direction and creating a hobby-based business is a common ambition."

If you want to follow your passions, talk to a financial adviser about taking out a new mortgage to make your finances work with your desires. If you have the right idea, have the passion and have a good financial plan behind it, anything is possible.
