3 Key Points:

1. Match your business to your strengths and your personality as an individual.
2. Invest time if you don’t have money; invest money, if you don’t have time. DON’T start a business if you don’t have either.
3. You don’t have to sacrifice your passion for a job—look for options that give you a paycheck and, at the same time, enhances your skills and feeds your passion.
