438. Fri-Date: Why a Boring Business Could Be the Quickest Route to Your Dream Life

Apr 22, 2022 | Fridate, Podcast

Everybody wants to build a business these days. And when you think about starting a business, what’s the first thing everyone says?  “Follow your passion. Do what you love.” As someone who does just that, it’s hard for me to scoff at the advice. It does work for some people. 

But what if you don’t actually feel all that passionate about anything, or you don’t see a path to making that thing profitable? That’s where boring businesses come in. Stay with me here.

Building or buying a cheap, profitable, low-maintenance business can be a great way to reach your financial goals so that you can live the life you want without having to turn the thing you love most into a job. Today, we talk about when a boring business might be right for you, how to go about it, and when it’s time to draw a line between efficiency and living your best life.
