Focusing on making money means being fully aware of: 1. What do I have? (What can be converted into money); 2. What do I want? (Money); 3. What am I willing to give? (Time, energy, money, emotions, etc.)
I think you missed a point, which is
What problem must I solve . The truth is that no matter the amount of time, energy, emotion and the rest you give, if you're not solving a problem with it, it's as good as a waste. Even if we have lots of skills and we don't get to solve problems with these skills, we can neither make money nor have recognition. The more we solve problems, the more money flows in. The quantity of money were have is inversely proportion to the problems we solve and our relevance in any space of hustle.
