The Almighty Buck
The almighty buck can actually be detrimental to your business. Think about it, if all you think about is how much you can make, are you really focusing on the other aspects of running a business. For example quality control, safety of your product, etc. If money is your only motivating factor, what corners are you cutting to make the Almighty Buck.
If your focus is only on the Almighty Buck are you missing other opportunities, (to make more money), because the only thing you have on your mind is how much you can make.
With the Almighty Buck as your only motivating factor you are destined to run into problems with your business. The corners you cut, the opportunities you miss, the people you disappoint, are going to be your downfall.
We see and hear about the Almighty Buck more and more every day. We get emails that tout “Get Rich Quick”, “Make thousands working only 2 hours a weeks”, “Make Money Selling ____(put in a product name) from home”.
While, yes, we all go into business to make money, that cannot be your only motivating factor. If you are blinded or sucked into these schemes I can pretty much guarantee you, you will get nothing out of it. The only person who will make any money is the person selling it, and usually for only a short period of time. Then, they too, need to find the next “great opportunity”. These type of offers play off of a terrible trait the majority of us in this culture have, “greed”. Remember, if it sounds to good to be true it usually is.
So, you ask, if I am not going into business to make money, why am I. Well, not to be evasive but only you can answer that. Also, I am NOT saying that you should not want to make money. We go into business to provide ourselves with a roof over our heads, the ability to cloth ourselves, and our families, feed ourselves, and help ourselves
