DON’T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB (YET)

Passion is Great-But It Won’t Pay the Bills (Yet) Let me guess. You’ve got an idea. Not just any idea-the idea. The one that keeps you up at night, buzzing with excitement. Maybe you’ve already pictured yourself on a podcast, telling the host how it all started “with just a dream and a lot of coffee.” Maybe you’ve even drafted a resignation email to your boss (subject line: “I’m Outta Here!”). But hold on. Don’t quit your day job-yet. Because here’s the thing: Passion is powerful. It’s the rocket fuel of entrepreneurship. But if you pour your heart, soul, and savings into an idea without validating it first, that rocket might explode on the launchpad. And trust me, I’ve seen it happen more times than I care to admit.
