Someone asked me how to get rich, I asked him why he wants to get rich, but his answer seemed too meaningless. Here's my advice to him:
I don't believe that your work/business should be about money. Although money matters, it shouldn't be your primary goal.
First you must identify your strengths, your talents, and your weaknesses. By knowing yourself more, you will be able to see yourself in the future albeit a little bit bleak in the beginning. Seeing yourself means identifying your mission in life. Your mission in life is something that when accomplished, death wouldn't look frightening to you anymore. For me, the best mission in life is something that transcends yourself, something that is selfless and driven by love.
Now if money is what you need to accomplish your mission, then go for money. But remember that your mission is always number one. Having money as your primary goal will lead you into an empty and meaningless life(a wisdom coming from the elders).
