Let's start by saying that making money is hard, but it has to be done. Not only is it something everyone must do in order to survive. This money making can be quite hard and extraneous too. Money is money but what makes making money so good is the benefit it gives us.

As an entrepreneur learning to focus on “why” rather than just trying to make money can be difficult in the beginning. When starting out there are a lot of things to consider. What kind of customer base the company is wanting? What kind of message are they trying to send out? Starting out can be very hard, especially as a newly found business in a rural area such as Hutchinson. So when developing way to sell products, the idea way is to inspire people. Tell a story with the merchandise and really get some sort of message out there.

Business have a lot of opportunities to really do good work. They can donate profits to charities. They can even go the way of inscribing important messages on their products. Inspiring people is the easiest way to sell products. Not only will it make them feel good about why they bought it. It will also get them to tell others about the products as well.

Leading plays a part in this too. Having leadership skills can go a long way. It can make or break when it comes to how companies market their businesses. Not only can it determine if the business does well but it can also determine what kind of customers you attract. Just like the article said, lead with others in mind. This is the embodiment of a servant leader. They think about others when making certain decisions and lead them.

Being someone who finds it difficult to focus on one task at hand and no to do multiple can make it hard to succeed. Focus on building the roots. A tree starts at the roots and grows up. It doesn't start with all the leaves and grow down. Now that would be one weird tree. But besides the point. Do not just look at the money basis. Look at the ethics and why you are doing it. What got you involved and interested.

Becoming so engulfed by money and how it can better someone. This is the lead example of how companies can destroy themselves. They do not care how they sell the products, just the fact that they sold it and got money. Look at any big corporation and inside the basis all there will be is the motivation for more money. They do not have that inspiration anymore. So many people start out going for a good cause but as they get more money they forget where they started and how hard it was. I think every company should have to look back every few years and remember where they started and why.

Money is something that comes as a reward. It is a gift and you get those thing when you make good and lovable choices. Not everything is about making money. Sometimes the best businesses come out of a non-profit deal that end in profit once reached a maximum popularity.

Inspiration is so big in the modern world. It is all about how can it make the world a better place and what charity can help what cause. This is how it should be and this is what leaders should achieve towards. I would say this is one of my favorite topics as it is so moving. Having that key thing can really make a difference in the customer basis in a company.
