I’m ceo and cofounder of my startup. Currently going through techstars. The product is good, has really good traction, solving a big problem in an industry I don’t care about. I have deep passion for social issues and specially education.
The only thing that motivates ALOT me about my current company is that we can make a lot of money so I can just eventually leave and do something I’m passionate about with that money.
Am I doomed?
Yes because that’s the answer that you want to hear. This is natural when you’re young/inexperienced. We all start out thinking we know how we’re going to change the world, and then realize that we can only impact one thing at a time. The nice part is that it is up to you! You can choose to let your ego get in the way and find excuses to fail. Or you can do a little deeper examination of yourself and figure out what drives you. This is your passion! It’s not some anecdotal point solution for society. Invest your time in getting better at what drive you to be a founder and CEO, and you will be a success
