Story Of The Week
Build your Startup around Passion.
Instead of starting with “what will make the most money?” and hoping you like it — Start with what you’re passionate about and figure out how to do it profitably. By using passion as your North Star, you’re making sure that however you’re going to spend your time, it’s going to be toward something you’re really into. Some days it’s going to feel like you don’t notice you’re not getting paid and other days — you won’t believe you’re getting paid to do something you love so much.
