I currently work on a startup together with my friend. We don't do this because we are passionate about starting a company or the problem we solve is exciting.

I currently work on a startup together with my friend. We don't do this because we are passionate about starting a company or the problem we solve is exciting. We do it for the money. Why work for some company if you can make much more money selling you services directly? That's what got us started. Not passion. Now I don't think it's wrong to be passionate but it's definitely a key factor whether your business is successful or not. It all comes down to hard work, execution and a little bit of luck.
