Is Profit The Most Important Thing in Business?
In this monologue, the speaker challenges the conventional view that a business exists solely to maximize profit. Drawing on personal education and experience, they argue that the true purpose of a business is to create meaningful impact—specifically, improving health outcomes and preventing future hospital visits. The speaker contends that when a business genuinely serves people’s well‑being, customers are willing to pay for that value, so profit naturally follows. Consequently, the speaker’s decision‑making framework prioritizes impact over profit, even if it means slower growth. Additionally, they express a belief in a higher power that recognizes pure intentions and supplies the necessary resources, citing observed evidence of this support.
