“Getting Rich” was author’s main goal which made all his subsequent business decisions easy, but also resulted in negative consequences of sacrificing good times with friends & family and making ethical compromises.
Making wealth-building your priority can provide you laser-sharp focus and help you make profitable decisions.
However, two mistakes should be avoided:-being too short-term-oriented and ignoring instincts about quality.
Having long-range view of making profits and serious commitment to creating good products contributes to long-term profitability and business success.
One should avoid making the pursuit of money primary objective as it could lead to compromising on ethics and personal goals.
One should conduct business to provide people with something of value, while simultaneously paying attention to financial indicators of business health.
Do not see money as the root of all evil, but cherish the good that your business does while ensuring quality products and services.
Celebrate the success of the business with unsolicited testimonials from customers, team members, and others and make plans for future generations.
See money as a neutral indicator of how well your business is fulfilling its promises and keeping the customers engaged.
