We Need to Love Money Not be Obsessed by It

Nature I feel is the best resource for the enterprising. It teaches us a lot really.
We can’t just eat deserts or that big fat burger all the time, even we grow sick of eating too much of them even though I admit it is very tempting. It ruins our system anyway if we stuff ourselves. That’s nature.
The same is the case with money. As entrepreneurs we need to love money, because that’s what runs our system. However, we can’t be obsessed by it, rather we should not be. It takes away the focus from business if we do. Being entrepreneurial is about adding value with what we do, that’s what makes entrepreneurs what they are.
Money is no more than a means or a fuel. When we become obsessed with money our attention begins to dwindle from the real task at hand and the business will suffer.
At the same time you can’t stop loving money. It drives our business and is the measure of our success. You can’t or like above shouldn’t be an entrepreneur if you don’t love money. You are not doing business if you don’t.. that’s philanthropy. So I would like to see guys who get into business because they see value in a new product they have to offer, at the same time let it not be so negligible a value that there is no pertinent money in it.
You saw what happened when people went behind money forgetting their core value. You will also see what will happen when people leave the accountant’s book aside and ‘run’ a business.
Nature always likes to keep things in balance and symmetry.
