I just told a friend of mine, “…you were right”, after one of his predictions for JobCoin played out. I loved his response:
There is no right or wrong, only profit.
Business is about solving problems, creating value for customers–not about pointing fingers or rubbing egos. That is a great quote to help keep your eye on the ball.
Addition:
Upon rereading this post, let me clarify one thing. In the context of morality, there clearly is a right and wrong. I did not mean this quote to argue for moral relativism. I meant it in the collaborative process of building a business: when you’re working together to solve a problem. In this context, “…it’s not about pointing fingers or rubbing egos…it’s about creating value for customers.”
My I ask what the jobcoin prediction was?

It had to do with click-through rates for one kind of site vs another, just a prediction on performance. Nothing particularly interesting, it was just the remark that I loved.
I Love the quote! It’s short and to the point. I’m sharing it with my business partners as motivation. It will definitely help us stay focused on success!
