The last thing a business wants is to hire more people. This means less money for the owners/shareholders. Companies don't hire until they are forced to, and by that point they are facing a very specific blocking problem. People are extremely greedy and their motivations are to get more money as fast as possible, not find some long term success or to do a business idea fishing expedition. I think to myself, "in what cases would a criminal pay someone money" because that's the lowest common denominator of when an employer will pay someone. By keeping this perspective, I'll never misunderstand the employer's motivations or goals.
