Many times I have thought about this, I've been in that cross road where I have to decide which way to follow.
for instance I am passionate about baking, and cooking, it's always been my dream to own my space, I want to start up my own products and services no matter how small. there was a month where I planned out everything about launching out, but somehow I paused, cause certain things were not in place.
my friend will always say that it's good to start a business in the line of your passion, but then in most cases you need that financial security to be able to start up, be able to buy somethings, however if you don't have the money then you will need to look for a job, work safe up and go in
When it comes to making a tough life decision like this, we often look for the easy way out.
Passion alone will not be able to foot the bill, passion will not be able to get you certain things needed for that business, and so therefore seeking for a financial security first is paramount to the success of your passion.
like I said I love to bake, to set up my own space and do business in large scale, but since the funding needed is not available for now, I have to secure a job to raise fund;this is me seeking for a financial security for my passion hence the need to blend both.
Also I am working in a place that I love, tho it's not in the line of my passion but it's about what I studied in school, it has also been my dream to work in a financial institution while also having the opportunity to do what I am passionate about, right now I'm living that reality.
soon after I have gathered and secured the least funding needed to scale up my business then I'll launch out, starting out no matter now small and scale up gradually.
