So what are you passionate about? What are you working on?
I for one would find ticket sales really interesting. Concerts are probably my favorite thing to do, and sporting events are fun too(prefer to actually play sports, but watching is ok too)...This would be much more interesting than probably every Facebook App and most web apps in existence(which mainly consist of programs to help people waste time, hopefully clicking an ad on occasion)....I think working with large datasets of events, prices, and consumers would be really interesting....
Some of the best days of my life have been at concerts. I'm sure millions feel the same way. How could you not be passionate about helping people have more of these types of experiences?
I'm working on two projects that are not revolutionary, but evolutionary. I'll be letting YC have their dig at me when the time comes around, I'm sure most people will be happy to finally let me have it, after all the jam I've dished out here...
But back to the issue - if I am passionate about concerts, it's because I like being at concerts. Not because I like selling tickets for concerts. So I would work on something related to actually being in the concert.
I thought I was passionate about some of my past projects, but it was only when I started the latest two that I rediscovered what real passion is. It is when you are already using your own app before it is ready, and when it is crashing and being odd all the time. If you're not doing so, then you have not done the most important bit yet, and that's the wrong way of going about a project.
I don't need money or care about it. I have more than enough for my needs. What I want is to do what I failed to do the first time round - start and complete a project. In the initial .com thingy, I sold my startup way too quick, and never had a chance to make my own mark. This time round, I'd like to really create and polish something, and see it through all its phases.
