[quote:Anonymous Coward 3520168:MV8xNjc1OTUwXzI3NzAwNDE3X0I4MjdGMzhB] [quote:Circle:MV8xNjc1OTUwXzI3NzAwMzUzX0RFNjlFNDEy] [quote:Anonymous Coward 3520168:MV8xNjc1OTUwXzI3Njk2OTEyXzIzQjI3QTVF] What "should be" their motivation? "SHOULD BE?" Business exists to make a profit by serving customer demand in the most efficient way possible. Business does NOT exist to make sure employees have a job or bennies. Business does NOT exist to make sure government has a tax base. [/quote] What do you know about the motivations for people starting businesses? It varies from person to person of course. Do you have a business yourself? My motivation when I started my business (IT-related) certainly wasn't the above. My wife's business (Veterinary Clinic) wasn't either. Yes, it's partly about profits but also about creating something, building something, employing people, contributing something to the world and lots of other motivations/reasons. [/quote] Your wife can easily be a vet without the hassles of owning her how clinic. Just wait until your expenses are such that once you cover all the costs and endure all the hassles of business ownership, your employees actually take home MORE than you do. We'll see how well you enjoy employing people when you find yourselves working for them! In the end, if the cash-flow isn't there, it won't work. No amount of "I feel so good" will matter if you can't make money - PERIOD. Wanna know why most businesses fail in the first five years???? It's because people go into it with ideas just like the ones you describe here. [/quote]
Original Message
If someone decides to start a business what should be his/her motivation?
To create jobs for people in the community?
To create income/wealth for himself/herself?
To provide a taxable entity for the Government?
