Single-speaker YouTube monologue (uploaded by Eric Deeran - Master Filmmaker) arguing that entrepreneurs should be transparent about their financial intentions. The speaker emphasizes that wanting to make money is not morally wrong, recommends founders state that goal openly to avoid misaligned expectations, and counsels honesty as practical and ethical business advice.
I think a lot of people are weird about what their true intentions with their business is at the end of the day. And I've always said from the start, like, I'm here to make money and grow my business and help as many people as I can along the way. The point is to make money. Like, this is not a. Not for profit. I'm here to make money, and I'm going to be very honest about that. And I think a lot of people tried to hide their true intentions when it comes to their business. And if they're just honest from the start that they're there to make money just like everybody else wants to make money in their business, then they wouldn't have as many issues where people are seeing them say one thing and then they do a completely different thing. So if I have any advice for somebody who's starting a business, be very honest. Be brutally honest that you're here to make money if that's what you're here to do. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think some people villainize the fact that people want to make money. It's not a bad thing to want to make money. You can make money and be a good person at the same time. It's not one or the other.
