You must have never run a business.
If you are running a business and you are not doing it to make money, then you should be doing something else. That's not to say there can't be other reasons for running a business but making money is the lifeblood of every business. And without it, your business will die.
Or to put it another way, which might strike closer to home, all of the people who are employed by the business owner will lose their jobs if the business owner doesn't do his job of keeping a constant eye on the bottom line.
You know, it shouldn’t be necessary to explain that on a conservative site. Sum ting wong.
