I know how this sounds. Sorry if it’s a stupid question. I built a small little site in my hometown for kids in highschool. It’s got a good amount of users and I can see it growing. The only problem is I don’t really care. I’m about to graduate highschool and I want to do more ambitious things during college. I don’t want this project I don’t care about to take away my ability to focus on things I do care about. At the same time, it’s hard coming up with good ideas and I might have an opportunity to practice making something big out of a side project.

What should I do?

    It is a myth that successful startups can happen if only founders really care about. There are many stupid but crazy successful startups (aka facebook) founders did not care first but liked the ride. Give it a try! Maybe you ll like it along the way

      Are you suggesting that founders of Facebook didn’t care? Where are you getting that from?

        I can fairly say they did not have any idealistic goal to connect humanity to eachother. But sure, they did care about building somethng and making profits.
