Entrepreneur builds successful business by doing something she hates: cleaning

For many entrepreneurs, going into business for themselves is a chance to turn a passion into a career. Melissa Maker isn’t one of these people. Instead, she’s built a business around something she utterly despises: cleaning.

She’s not alone, other dispassionate entrepreneurs are building businesses in lines of work that the never expected to get into.

She found a need in an underserved market and attacked it. She hates cleaning, she knew others did too, and decided to do what she hated for other people so they didn't have to do it.

And people paid her.

Now she grows her business through YouTube videos and doesn't have to clean houses anymore.

This article tells other stories of very successful people who started by doing something they hated for other people. Now not only do they not have to do it anymore, they have more freedom overall. One of them even started a new business.

There's opportunity in HATE.
