Why "Follow Your Passion" Can Be Terrible Startup Advice... We hear it constantly in the startup world: "Follow your passion!" It sounds inspiring, right? But honestly, as practical advice for building a sustainable business, it can sometimes be misleading, even dangerous. ๐คทโโ๏ธ Here's the reality check: Passion โ Market Demand: You might be incredibly passionate about something... that very few people actually need or are willing to pay for. Market validation must come before scaling passion. ๐ค Passion โ Business Model: Your enthusiasm won't magically create profitability, positive unit economics, or a scalable GTM strategy. Viability matters. ๐ธ Passion โ Essential Skills: Building a company requires grit AND craft โ sales, marketing, finance, operations, leadership. Passion alone doesn't build the engine. ๐ ๏ธ Passion Can Create Blind Spots: Sometimes, being too passionate makes us ignore negative feedback or clear signs the market isn't responding. A More Pragmatic View? Maybe better advice is: 1. Find a Validated Problem you find Interesting Enough to solve relentlessly. โ 2. Develop Valuable Skills the market actually pays for (passion can grow from competence & impact). ๐ช 3. Ideally, find the sweet spot where your Interest/Passion INTERSECTS with Market Opportunity & Your Skills. โจ Passion is crucial fuel for resilience during the inevitable tough times! ๐ฅ But it shouldn't be your only guide when building a business from scratch. Strategy, validation, and skills need to drive too. What's your take? Did you follow pure passion, or did pragmatism (practicality) lead your way? Let's discuss! ๐

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

Building great products isn't enough if the founder doesn't truly understand the market. Iโm amazed by how many entrepreneurs obsess over product-market fit while neglecting founder-market fit. You're the driver of your business, not just the produ
