Does passion matter more than profit when starting a business?

[Fire&Rain]

When starting a business, what really matters more, passion or profit? I because i wanted to make profit, it had nothing to do with passion. My main concern was being able to pay my bills.

If you are pursuing just profits with your startup, you would easily get tired of the business when challenges come. You would lose still on both ends.

Profit is important no doubt, but at the end of the dsy if there is no passion you might not be able to do much.

A successful business needs a balance between passion and a viable business model that generates profit. Passion can be the driving force for motivation and resilience, but without a plan for profitability, a business may struggle to survive.

Actually passion plays a very important role in the sustainability of the business growth for that matter. In most cases passion protects the business even when the business doesn't make profits at all, passion still gets hold of the business.

I can authoritatively say that every business that one starts now would always be profitable if they do the homework of finding the right target market.

If you don't have money to invest or you have little, then yes, but when you already have money to invest, then the profits are more important, since you will want to know when you will recover your investment and when you will be in profit.
