Good perspective to focus decision-making. I think option 3 is a little too simplistic, however:<p>&gt; If you can&#x27;t grow or you can&#x27;t make money doing what you&#x27;re doing, then don&#x27;t do it<p>It seems to me that better advice would be: If you can&#x27;t grow and make money, be very cautious about how many resources you commit to the project. Passion projects have a place, and it seems like &#x27;pivoting&#x27; can be a powerful way of using what you&#x27;ve learned to move in a better (profitable?) direction - both are valid options besides &quot;don&#x27;t do it&quot;
