Profit is a side-effect of a job well done
I am 29 and I am a compulsive builder. It isn’t like I want to build things, I simply have to because otherwise they consume me. Considering that I can envision way more than I can actually work on I find myself always having to give up ideas for the sake of completing projects already underway.
Once I am done, I don’t feel like I have any time to spare to enjoy success. Off I am to the next project.
To be honest, I feel like the journey is more important than the destination. Profits are nothing but a side-effect of a job well done.

Deciding on what to do next is so hard sometimes. Make sure you are excited about whatever you choose to do next. Life is too short to work on things you don’t care about

I like that quote you said: I feel like the journey is more important than the destination. Profits are nothing but a side-effect of a job well done. Very inspirational
