A short monologue (YouTube Shorts) by Eric Deeran advising entrepreneurs and creatives to prioritize making money first rather than immediately pursuing passion projects. The speaker argues that focusing on profitable solutions to others' problems provides the financial freedom to explore creative passions later, whereas doing what you love first can leave you perpetually short on funds.
Alright, so I'm definitely going to get a lot of hate for this one. But in entrepreneurship and running a business, don't do what you love, do what makes money. At first, especially with creatives, they focus on doing what they love, but it doesn't make any money. They're not providing a solution to a problem. And as an entrepreneur, you're providing a solution to a problem. What creatives do, and again, there's nothing wrong with it, I'm a creative as well, is they focus on what they love doing instead of what other people want. And so if you can make money first, then then you have time to explore the passion later on. If you do not make money first, then you'll forever be in that loop of not having enough money so you can't truly explore your passion.
