"You decide to open up a café to follow your passion for coffee. Turns out that you hate running a café." This reminds me of E-Myth, where the woman starts a pie-making business because she's passionate about baking pies, and ends up hating the whole damn thing. I have friends who are dying to start their own café because they love coffee and the café atmosphere. But I don't think they've thought it all the way through to fixing the busted sink in the bathroom or the vendor that's a dick all the time. As a life coach, I actually totally see your point, Amy! - investigate your passion with your eyes fuckin wide open and don't be oblivious to all the actual un-passion-related work involved!
