When Is Following Your Passion The Right Choice ?

[M&A]

Just finished the book mastery by Robert Greene and the main point of the book seems to be that you should follow your natural interests as you will be better and more motivated/skilled than the general population vs going after something your not 110% committed to.

Going against your real primal desires is going against your nature.

I have always had a passion for the more creative industries such as music, movies, clothing, books etc.

Music/movies are a very luck dependant endeavour dependant on factors I can't control. However I feel I can have a real shot at creating a mid-high end clothing brand and have retail stores in major cities around the world.

I figure if I make the best looking/fitting clothes at the right price, right image people I am targeting will be forced to buy it.

Even though as of now I don't know how to create a single pair of socks I know what looks good and what will take off.

Even though there is no apparent need for another contemporary clothing brand, I would rather pursue this, than another money chasing endeavour that I have no passion for. But at the same time I don't want to end up like the guy who started the hip hop clothing store in the elderly neighbourhood in TMFL book.

Examples of similar successful projects in the same space:

I wanna take some of this guys money:
