Set yourself intermediate goals, rather than aiming for a big payoff. On the way to $10k MRR: prototype, first user, first paying users, first 100 users, etc. Every milestone is enjoyable! I also disagree with "doing what's fun". Hard problems aren't fun in the beginning, but once you achieve mastery, you will enjoy the task. Seen this for programming or in others for pottery. Once you get good at something you enjoy it more and have access to new options and a new perspective. The last part is summarized from "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport. Still works.
