]]> Comment on Mistakes I Hope to Avoid with My Next Business by Matt Ackerson http://venturekid.com/2010/06/26/mistakes-i-hope-to-avoid-with-my-next-business/comment-page-1/#comment-182 Matt Ackerson Sun, 27 Jun 2010 20:27:38 +0000 http://venturekid.com/?p=256#comment-182 Thanks for the comment, Ed. It's valuable to remind ourselves of what we've learned from time to time. It keeps me sharp and asking the right questions. Also here's one lesson that I did not include above: Always follow your passion. The work should be the end in itself. It is easy to become enamored with the idea of just creating something that makes money. I was, with all of last three businesses. For this reason I would eventually lose steam with each venture, because I was "driving" myself rather than being "pulled" by what I was deeply passionate about. I know now that is what has been holding me back. Thanks for the comment, Ed. It’s valuable to remind ourselves of what we’ve learned from time to time.
