I find the impatience of many entrepreneurs to be disturbing and confusing. Many seem to expect to build something and cash out within a few years. But creating something so quickly worthy of sale is extremely hard work. How could you work so hard on something unless you loved it? If you loved it so much, why would you want to sell it?
I think there is currently a unique opportunities for entrepreneurs to create businesses that utilize their most prized passions, experiences, and relationships; and that keep them busy and fed for their entire lives.
Life is long. What's wrong with something great taking 10 years to build? Or 20. Look at long it has taken Apple to hit their stride! But, the only way to achieve such endurance is to follow what you love.
At the same time, life is short. Why waste one moment doing something you don't love?
