Venn Diagram of Success

Two months ago I wrote about finding a passionate dream job. Recently, my dad forwarded an article he came across in his film editing hobby that contained a nice venn diagram of success.

Venn-Diagram-of-Success

 

Startups provide a phenomenal opportunity for founders and early employees to find bliss:

  • Working on problems you love
  • Becoming competent in your market, even market leaders
  • Iterating on customer development to know what the world needs
  • Refining product/market fit to maximize what the world will pay for

Which zone in the venn diagram are you operating under? Have you seen bliss?
