"Not everyone does what they do to make a buck."

Then they aren't in business and shouldn't be called an entrepreneur.

So add one word: Not everyone does what they do just to make a buck.

If money is the only reason you are in business, you probably aren't worth buying anything from. Con artists, pyramid schemes, thieves -- those people care about money or profit first, a whole lot of other things much less or not at all. Business people should be trying to first add real value to the world and second get a fair share of that value coming back to them. Otherwise, we have lots of other less nice words for them than entrepreneur, such as profiteer.

Have a happy holiday.

Hi Mz, I don't understand why you are judging an idea with such cruel words without knowing how it works yet. And yet I'm still interested in your opinion without having you treating me as a scam or conman. Thank you for being more comprehensive and a little bit less accusing.
