Thanks for your reply. I have started to think that following your passion leads to never making a profit.
I have made & shipped some very popular things - they were my passions but not built to make money. Perhaps I should look at ways to monetize these things.
I'm pleased with their success as they have helped a lot of people, however it was all set up out of my own pocket and I'm still paying to keep them running.
I'm just worried that if I follow my passions again, it'll just be another expense that I pay for.
I'm at a point where my next idea really does need to at least sustain itself. If I built something that could be my full time income - if it's providing value, no matter the industry it's in, that would become my passion.
- iambrakes 14y agoFair point. Passion and business don't often go hand in hand. But you will have at least a better chance of sticking with it if you care about it. Not every idea is a good one, but at least parse through the ones you have and look for a personal angle that you can get excited about. The other angle is not so much building on your passion, but building on your pain. If there is a pain point in something you do that is really a problem for you, then maybe you can solve it and stay energized because you are solving your own problem.
