I like the article and I believe much of it, but I’ve been chasing personal passions for more than 25 years and I haven’t had a side project I’d call successful, at least not in a financial sense. So, there’s something else to that part. I suspect it’s at least a bit of luck. I continue to try to find a function that will work for me.
