Got this advice from my mentor Gaurav Sareen when I was the lowest low in my life

Start with a problem, rather than a solution. What this means is that identify something you feel is either missing in the world, or something that is wrong or something that is not optimal. Latch on to the problem that you are trying to solve, and then drive solutions around that. The reason is that attaching to a problem can focus you efficiently, too many people make the mistake of starting with what they want to do vs what needs to be done.

Find something you can be exceptional at, perhaps in the top 0.1 percent, if not .01 percent. You don't have to be there today, but you should have a clear line of sight as to how you get there. This would require both capability and passion for the work.

Try to be financially break even or better, beyond the initial phase. You don't want to just have an expensive hobby.

Do not optimize for money but for impact. All of us are fortunate enough that we don't have to work for just sustenance and can think beyond, but it is tempting to keep running the rat race. When I say impact, I mean it is how you touch the rest of the world with your work.

Strike a balance between enjoying day to day and having a long term goal. If you only have the former, then sooner or later the meaninglessness will affect you, and if its only the latter then the daily grind may get too much to bear.

Anyway, you have always shown the drive, the capability, the energy and the will to seek your own path, and with you I am confident that you will take all input and make the best decision, and go for it. Just remember that all constraints are self imposed.
