A big shot businessman went on vacation to a small beautiful fishing village. There he saw fisherman set out in the morning on their boats to fish a while. After several hours they returned with enough fish to sell in the market. Then they would have a nice lunch, take a nap, and go into town and sip wine with their friends and families and have dinner.
The businessman said “Hey you guys make a living by working a few hours a day. You should work ALL day and catch way more fish. In fact, you should invest in bigger boats and nets and catch a ton of fish. You could make a ton of money at the market selling all that fish. Keep that up for 30 years and invest your money wisely and you’ll have a fortune!”
“Then what?” they asked.
“Well, then you can buy a house in a town by the water, and do a little fishing, and take a nap every afternoon, and take it easy. You could sip a little wine with friends and family and have nice dinners.”
Remember, your business is supposed to make your life better, not worse.
A very valuable lesson
