After counseling with someone today, I listed out my reasons for building my business. None of which corresponded with "this will deliver my dream". For a long time I've blamed my failure on that, because I've always been told "If the dream is big enough, the fact don't count". I believe that statement. But just because there is a point x, y (have dream, will be successful) doesn't mean that there is a dipole at -x, -y (no dream, will fail).
It just means that I need to be a little more disciplined! I mean, I still have reasons for being in business. They just don't correspond to a dream. So I'm probably not going to build my business with much passion or fervour, but I will build it. It's technically and economically sound, so it will work anyway. It just depends on me.
