Am I money chasing?

[circleme]

Since the beginning of this year I'm actively working on finally starting my Fastlane business parallel to my freelance work. However, in the last days/weeks I had again and again small sense crises. Primarily it was about questioning my motives why I want to start a fastlane business in the first place or why I slipped into freelancing back then. No matter how I spin it or turn it: At the end of the day, I'm doing it for the money and to take a big step closer to my goal of financial independence. I have read the TFM book by MJ DeMarco and know that this is not exactly an ideal mindset, but: I do not evaluate a business model solely on the basis of whether I can get closer to my personal goal (FI), but whether it can solve an actual problem and whether I create added value that other people / companies would be very likely to spend money on. Nevertheless, it's not a motivator for me that gets me out of bed every day. The money thought, however, is. At this point, of course, the question arises for me whether I am a money chaser, or whether this way of looking at things is perfectly fine for me to pull off a Fastlane business.

I am currently separating my motives between myself and my company, so to speak. I (my personal goal) have the goal of achieving financial independence in X years. However, the goal of my business is to solve problems that other people/businesses pay for. I just hope here not initial already have the wrong motivations (my personal, meaning money) and I would be interested in input from experienced fastlaners.

Thanks
