Confused about passion vs. making money

[NoRegrets]

Hey guys, 23 years old and a recent college grad here looking for some advice/wisdom.

I started an online marketing company with a friend last year doing PPC/SEO for local businesses in the area, nothing fancy/big. After a few months we ended up making $3k/month and while the money was good, I quickly realized that I didn't actually care about the business - I didn't enjoy working on it and I wasn't passionate about it at all and was actually thinking of leaving. And so lately I have spent a lot of time thinking about money/passion/building a business etc.

So I guess my main questions are:
- should I do it strictly for the money? (build an online business)
- just how important is passion? I've been studying a lot of very successful people and from Buffett to Steve Jobs to Bezos, they all universally tell you to go do something you're passionate about
- maybe I just don't care about money that much? this thought has actually crossed my mind but idk the answer
- or have I just not found the right type of business to do yet?

Also, maybe some relevant pieces of info, FWIW:
- I did not grow up rich, I actually grew up pretty poor with a single mother
- I don't have one super strong passion/interest, but I have realized that I want to make a difference somehow
- I would like financial freedom, however I can achieve that
