What is the purpose of a business ?

Tired of the back and forth that is not going to change anyone's mind about anything, so I thought I would try and suck something useful out of my pea brain.

Many years before the internet existed I was given a book by the VP in charge of our office titled "The Goal" and although the premise of the book was centered around a manufacturing plant, the basic business idea was the same.

"The Goal" of any business is profit.

Pretty much comes down to, if what you are doing is not making money, YOU are doing something wrong.

The problems are not (insert the current death of the porn industry theory here) the problem is what YOU are doing.

This is the only business I can think of that spends so much time and effort blaming outside factors for failure, rather than looking at itself.

Personally, I much prefer to look at everything and say - "How can I make money off this" - If the answer is I do not know, I either move on to something different, or I figure out how to.

The ONLY thing any of us have any control over is what WE do.

Be profitable, or be poor.
