But you ARE. Or at least you are obligated to work on things that throw off meaningful amounts of money. What if what interests you is poetry? Raising foster kids? Working on open source projects?
If what interests you is not an income source, then you're going to need to avoid "living rich". Which, IMO, is fine and dandy. I get very little joy out of huge houses, expensive wines, and 1st class travel.
- sigstoat 16y agoall kinds of things can be turned into income sources if you're serious about them and any good. making money off of poetry and open source is obvious. (not at the sports car level, but below that, sure.) i'll admit it isn't not immediately obvious to me how you could profit from raising foster kids in a moral fashion, though that does not mean there isn't one.
- Luc 16y agoEasy. Set up a non-profit dedicated to the foster kids' well being. Accept donations and funding from other organisations. Pay yourself a wage as an administrator. Sell the movie rights and retire rich!
- robryan 16y agoThe question is what percentage of successful entrepreneurs are really concerned with living rich and how many are just after the freedom. Looking at it in terms of expected value of a startup there would be far better ways for one to focus solely on making money if that was the only goal.
