I just wanted to say that I love your phrasing of working on something that "you hate a little less".

In general I believe the idea of "work on what you love" to be awful advice; I have found that I get deep satisfaction out of working on something that someone is willing to pay for, even if that means that sometimes it is a headache and I hate doing some of the things that need to be done. Once you accept that those things will continue to exist and continue to need to be done, and it's not going to be bliss, those things seem to matter less.

I prefer to try to learn to love something that you believe can bring you success. It is very difficult to do something day in and day out that you don't love some part of. You just have to figure out your angle. I don't love my current business, but I love business in general and I love building things that people like to use.

The "love requirement" makes it hard to continue once you wake up one day and find you no longer love it. The "hate it a little less" is much more useful is you dont want to give up on stuff because you have a bad day/week/month with it.
