This line is great: "profit in a business is like gas in a car. You don't want to run out of gas, but neither do you want to think that your road trip is a tour

This line is great: "profit in a business is like gas in a car. You don't want to run out of gas, but neither do you want to think that your road trip is a tour of gas stations."

- crikli 15y agoI've used a similar analogy frequently, that profit is to my business as fuel is to an aircraft. I want as much profit as I can get not because I'm greedy but because I want to stay in their air as long as possible, constantly making longer and more adventurous flights. My biz might be just a little four-place Cessna right now but my goal is to someday be a nice Boeing Business Jet.
