The advice to "follow your passion" and "do what you're good at" is BULLSHIT. Success isn't about you - it's about solving problems people will pay for. Entrepreneurs who win detach from their own interests and look at the market rationally. They identify needs people are willing to pay to have met, even if unglamorous. Passion pursuits are often hypercompetitive, with many chasing dreams and working for free. The wiser path is to set aside your personal preferences. Don't just do what comes naturally or what you enjoy. Go where the compensated demand is by meeting market needs first. It's not about your passions - it's about providing valued solutions.
