Contradicting idea of a founder

To do it well for me or to do it as the user want it to be.

A lot of the time people want to stop the 9to5 and before founder and start a business to be free from someone telling them what to do and what not to do.

The suggested solution “A startup”, doing your own business. I still don't know the difference between a business and a startup, Means the same but feels different I guess.

For whats the Contradiction of founding a company? 2 actually at a basic level.

  • Make something you want or solve a problem your facing!
  • Make something user want and are ready to pay to use.

Both are correct yet both are the opposite. Is freedom to solve your problem importantly or making money using user more important.

Very few startups are doing what they like and making money. Many make a product which the world needs and make it a success, however, am not convinced that this was a product they dreamed to build.

Very few founders can say no to an idea of earning money because it doesn't align with the original intention of fulfillment. Honestly, they will be called stupid if not more.

Its time for a founder to be honest with them self about why do they want to start a company. If its money and to be rich, so what. If its to solve your own problem, all the best but don't lie to your self that you're doing it for freedom or passion as long as it's not.

They say if you're doing what you like then that not called a job. I guess that means in a few cases making money is what people like and in some case solving a problem or in some case working for a company and doing to normal salary job.

Don't think founder is free from the unreasonable level of the issue and not under stress like people have in jobs. Founders are sandwiched between the user and investor from both sides as much as between making what they want and user want. There issues and users issue. I respect both types of founder but I hate that people are not more honest about it.

What do you think, when was the last time you were said one thing but the opposite also make sense?
