Hi everyone,
My name is Phil. I'm 35, and I've wanted to start my own thing for a long time. I've done some small stuff in the past - some things worked pretty well before I was more or less forced to pull the plug, one thing I have going on is going alright (real estate) some things never really got too far off the ground before I realized they either weren't for me, or just flat out weren't going to work in the long run. I feel like I've read more than enough books and taken more than enough courses to be dangerous in a plethora of areas of business. Now I've decided it's time to really take control and accountability and do whatever it takes to get myself into the fastlane.
I see a lot of contraditing information out there regarding whether you should just go for whatever you think you can make the most money doing, or work as hard as you can to find out how to make money doing what you love.
I'm wondering - what are everyone's thoughts on this? I realize the answer can change depending on what the current 9-5 situation is (assuming a person has one). But for the sake of argument, let's ("hypothetically") assume that a person's 9-5 is more than enough to pay the bills, provides comfort and a good amount of flexility, pretty low stress, but is also super boring and unfulfilling.
I'm curious to see what people think. Thanks in advance!
