Anyone Started a Business Doing Something They Hate?

[Bouncing Soul]

Sidewalker mentality is "do what you love", Fastlane is "do what people want"

The business I'm spending most of my time on right now is a business to specifically solve a task I HATE doing, but ironically, in the beginning, I'll be doing more of that task for other people until it's ready to scale (or the idea proves bad and I kill it).

My dad owns a janitorial company, which means for the first half of my life, I was a janitor, and nobody likes wiping shit off toilets. As a white collar worker, a whole lot of stuff engineers do is to automate reptetive mindless tasks they don't like. It's not such an unfamiliar concept to me. But as I've told sidewalkers this, the first response is almost always "dude, there's a disconnect there".
