As a startup founder, taxes aren’t just about paying them, they’re about saving them Capture all expenses, even in your loss years – they’ll help you later

Solving a problem you don’t care about is a common pitfall for first-time founders Choosing to work on a problem just because it seems trendy, profitable, or cool can lead to burnout over time. Startups are hard enough when you’re passionate about the problem — imagine how much harder it gets when you’re not deeply connected to the work. Instead of chasing the “next big thing,” ask yourself: is this a problem I truly care about? Is it something I would still want to solve even if it took five or ten years? Motivation matters, and it’s often the difference between sticking it out through the tough times or walking away when things get hard. If you’re building something you don’t care about, don’t panic — plenty of founders have learned to love their product over time. But don’t ignore the risks. A deep connection to the problem is often the best insurance against losing your way.
