I do believe that you can match up your passion to a niche. And you're right, there are mixed messages but I think it's because it's never black and white (if only it were that simple!). It's a constant balance of doing what you love (which makes you better at doing it) and listening to your customers (listening to the right ones makes this easier)! I know a lot of people who choose their business on profitability alone (rather than a passion) but this is usually because it lets them lead a lifestyle they are passionate about. Other people want a more heart-centered business that feeds their soul. It's a different marker for everyone. :-) Hey Jason!

There are lots of 'mixed-messages' on the net "Focus on your target market, provide value!" and now "Screw everyone, write what you love." To make sure I understand correctly... By your reference to "Is it vastly different to what you are creating day in day out?", I believe you're saying, write what we truly want, as a step 1, and then find an appropriate niche to 'provide value to.' :D If that's what you're saying... I love it :) Either way, that's what I'm getting from it :D Thanks for the awesome article! This is verrry interesting.
