Not to disagree or agree, but this reminded me of more than one story I've read of a young lawnmower person who got enterprising and started their own lawncare business, employing other people (and becoming quite successful).

They probably didn't have passion for mowing lawns, but perhaps their on-the-ground experience taught them enough that they could then use their other intellectual/social skills to scale up.

I don't have any formula for how to translate these anecdotes into new ideas... else I'd be doing one myself.
