Episode notes
Passion Narrows; Business Broadens
- Passion narrows what brings you joy while fulfillment broadens it, so running a passion as a business often forces you into boring, uninteresting tasks.
- Most of the time spent pursuing a passion in business won't be the thing you love doing.
Ownership Funnels The Worst Tasks
- Business funnels the hardest, least enjoyable problems related to your passion to the owner, making 'follow your passion' a misleading guideline.
- Ownership means solving painful problems others avoid, which is why passion alone rarely sustains a business.
If You Want Pure Passion, Don’t Scale
- Do not scale if you want to only do your passion; instead limit output and raise prices so you can keep work tiny and enjoyable.
- Accept that admin tasks (sales, taxes, logistics) are required even when pursuing passion.
