When I was in middle school, my friend said he had a rich grandmother. I remember asking my friend to ask his grandmother how to get rich.
He did, and I remember she told him there is no perfect business. The way you get rich is to find something you kind of like and get really good at it. You will like it a lot when you are really good at it.

I spent years and decades looking for a perfect business idea. Only to realize what my friend’s grandmother said was true: there is no perfect business.

It’s funny because my friend now owns a security company and drives a Ferrari, while I’m living in my parents’ basement.

So if you are trying to find a perfect business idea that’s easy and will make you a lot of money, you will never find it; you will just waste time.
