I was reading about this scenario where a person had opened up a martial arts business with of course the revenue coming from people who pay a fee to train at the studio. The person started from ground up with an emphasis that he opened up the business as he was passionate about teaching others and not for financial gain.<\/p>\n
As the years went on, the business was doing very well and the owner was bringing in a lot of revenue where he was able to create a financially rewarding lifestyle. As a result, he apparently began to buy luxury items such as a BMW. Still though, he advertised that he is not in it for the financial gain.<\/p>\n
It was interesting to see the responses as there were people condemning him for having items like that while the other side argues that he earned it and that it should be no big deal. Kind of interesting I must say as in some ways this is kind of like when people say they are struggling in life and need help yet you see them spending like $20 on a lunch everyday. Basically, it is like a contradicting action.<\/p>\n
In general what people buy with their money is their own prerogative and I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t necessarily categorize people just because they own certain things. On the other hand, like in this situation if you specifically use the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not in it for the money\u00e2\u20ac\u009d gimmick as a way to lure people to do business with you, then I would say to a certain extent you would unfortunately have to be consistent with that in terms of your actions.<\/p>\n
Kind of reminds me of that AIG situation in the US where the company is getting financial help yet you see them with bills from luxurious events. If you are going to change persona in this sense, then I would think the best thing to do is be upfront about your new business direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
