It a problem, you see, or you have.
It's something you want to learn.
It is something you want to help.
It's something that you are passionate about and you build a plan around that passion.

Personal Project Pep Talk from Kid President

This is one of my favorite examples of a personal project. Soul Pancake is a company that over the years has exemplified how personal projects can make the world a better place.
"We create content, across various platforms, that explores life’s big questions, celebrates humanity, and champions creativity. And we do it with integrity, heart, and humor."

Now lets get out there, and do something!
