So a question to you all...
For those that have "made it," was your first successful venture something you created just to get by - just to quit your day job? Or was it something that you started that you wanted to create a legacy? The thing that your life would be remembered for.
For those that haven't "made it" yet, are you working on something that you truly believe will change the world, or is it something that you're doing to quit your day job?
This is something I've kind of struggled with. I want to create something that lasts for hundreds of years. But right now, I have yet to quit my day job.
I've been developing a product that I believe is better than what is already out there. I'm almost finished with it, I've imported parts of the product, and I hope to list it on my own ecommerce store within the next 3 months. (hopefully)
The thing is - I'm not really too crazy about the niche that it's in. I don't know if I should just license the product to a larger site, or build other potentially superior products in the same niche and continue to fill out the website, even though I'm not all that passionate about it.
I know, I know... DON'T FOLLOW YOUR PASSION. But this isn't just about following your passion. This is about spending years of your life on something that you really don't care about. Something that won't affect your legacy. The thing that you will be remembered for when you are dead and gone.
What are your thoughts? Should I just license this product out - hopefully getting a few hundred bucks profit a month, or build a full-blown brand?
