BTW,there's another measure that's not in that talk and that's the unmeasurable success in "critical acclaim". Now, I don't think critical acclaim pays the bills, but if you look at Wik, which was listed as "barely profitable", you'll also see that it's the "most critically acclaimed". In some cases, the PR is worth taking the financial hit, to help build awareness for your company/team.
I do the "profit" thing in my day job, to keep the lights on and all that, so I can do the "passion" thing when I find the time.
Of course, both my day job and night job happen to be; videogame maker, so I guess you *can* combine "profit and passion". ;)
