With money in your head, an an entrepreneur your job is to make the means to have it:
1) you open a business
By definition, a business, a company can exist only if it produces money.
2) you offer something in return - a product or service of which you have passion/positive obsession (ideally). The consumers / clients (different notions) will judge if it's valuable or not. And they will pay you or not.
Money should not be an obsession, but it should be the main target. From this point onward, everything has to be treated as a pro.
If someone tells that she/he, as an entrepreneur, doesn't have the goal to make money (no matter the sum), that means she/he is not an entrepreneur.
Entrepreneur = Money in the end.

Ok, I saw the post of Shannon. Hope his plans are good and we will see some super-technologies in this multi-stage sub
Before thinking about what business you want to create, you want to find a niche (unmet need) in the market. If you create your products based on an unmet need your prospects have, then your chances of success are much higher than if you were to launch the product of your dreams, but of the dreams of nobody else.
By helping to solve your prospect's needs, you help them. That's why I say it is the main priority entrepreneurs should have. The more they help people, the more they get money for it. The more money you get, the more you can reinsvest it to make it grow without losing the money invested.
