You missed "and make a profit." No business sets out to make customers their favorite charity. Just like nobody strives to be mediocre. Like most overachievers, I expect perfection and it takes an emotional toll on me when I can't achieve it. We made a glaring mistake on a song ending last night and I wanted to turn my keyboard stand over because of it. Mistakes like that come from not enough rehearsal time but I play with a bunch of lazy mofos who think there is such a thing as "good enough." It's NEVER good enough until it's perfect. (See why nobody wants to play with me when I try to recruit?) And in a business model, I expect more profit every quarter than the quarter before it. If that means cutting off mom and pop's kneecaps, so be it. I have to win. Isn't that kind of what business is for? To make a profit?
