A lot of people have sought my advice over the years. They want to boost the economy and help depressed areas develop business solutions for long-term gain. Yet for all their planning, most don’t know the difference between a job and a business.
A business is where the owner has unlimited potential for profit and a job is where a person trades his precious time for a prescribed amount of money. So when people in a community start talking about wooing a company to bring jobs to their town, they are really just asking for a way to trade their time (a priceless commodity) for a flat rate (a common commodity that will meet short term needs).
