Hello,
Since I am interested in business I always face stuff I dont like to do. Obviously thats normal.
Sometimes you have to do stuff you dont like but:
What to do if the whole business model involves a thing I hate.
"Do what you love" is of cause not the way because reading never made someone rich.
Recently I've read the book: "Delivering Happiness" from Tony Hsieh. (For those who dont know Tony is the founder of LinkExchange and the CEO of Zappos both billion dollar startups.
So this guy teached himself programming without even the thought of making money at it.
He describes himself getting up early because he cant wait to get to work which basically was advising the tech team in the startup.
MJ says stuff like that:
Forum member: "Does setting up the wordpress theme require any coding knowledge?"
MJ: "And what if it did? Give up? Look for something easier? Look for something that fits exactly into your skill set as it exists now?"
So I dont know how this all matches together. I mean I could not imagine me get up every day doing hours of coding. One part is maybe laziness but also I am simply not good at it. I've never liked math and I was pretty bad in coding class (we had like a half year with the basics)
There were people who love coding and do it in their free time. Obviously they were good at it. How could I compete against those when we both create a product. One with passion, fun and knowledge doing what he likes every day or the guy (me) who does it just..I dont know I am not even money chasing I just want something to get up existed to every day.
Other example: I could start importing. I have a product. I have money. I have a ebay seller account with top ratings. Everything. Still I dont know if I should do this. Should I invest my time into something that is "average"? There are sooo many ebay sellers. So many money chasers. I am still young (18) and some extra money wouldnt hurt of cause but there is a difference between building limos.com, facebook, Zappos or the 1000th ebay store with some crappy chinese products.
