I don\u2019t care what the Donald says. The point of business is not<\/strong> to make money. The purpose of business is to expand who you are through what you do<\/strong>. And use profit to achieve a more noble end (and yes, self-development is a noble end).<\/p>\n

I believe this because the worth of any business resides largely in it\u2019s human capital (the value of its people) and in it\u2019s intellectual property (the value of the ideas generated by it\u2019s people).
