1 " If you want to have a profitable business, you need to have an efficient business. "
― Hendrith Smith
2 " The basic and most fundamental element to business is creating value - creating value for others and making their lives better in some way. If you can do that, put a price on it, communicate it clearly and get it to buyers….. you’re in business. "
3 " Being a skilled professional at something does not automatically equate to being skilled at leading a business in that same profession. Someone could be a phenomenal hair stylist, but that doesn’t mean that they would be a great manager of a Salon. Business management requires its own skill set separate from being skilled at whatever service or product the business provides. "
4 " The best way to protect an asset is with systems that self organize and self execute behaviors which function as protective to the asset. "

6 " Businesses are at all times and in different ways accountable to employees, suppliers, customers and community. "
7 " Sometimes the only way to move forward is to let go. Sometimes the only way to rise higher is to cut your ties. "
8 " Particles to the decided mind, but look away, who makes the waves play?Quantum ride, let's be the right type. Oh put the numbers in and let the type write. Get the matter timed for the right life, Faith of mind, behold, they oblige. "
9 " In these United States of America that we call home, we may not know perfection - but we do know progress. "
10 " Profit is good. Profit compells people to be:(a) efficient - to do more with less, to consume fewer resources, to reduce and reuse waste.(b) productive - to allow for bigger profit margins.(c) Valuable - income, and therefore profit is only possible when we add value to our customers lives. When the value of our product or service is worth more to them than what it cost us to provide it, we profit. And there’s no scarcity of possible profits. Every business should be profiting. When every business is profiting, that’s a lot of increased value going around. "
11 " Being valuable is the start. But a good business also has to communicate its value to its customers and those customers have to also voluntarily be in agreement with that value. If the customers perceive the value, and determine that the value they obtain from your businesses products or services is greater than the value of the dollars, Renminbi or ETH they have in their wallet… then they will pay for what your business is selling. If not, they won’t. "

13 " The permaculture economy embraces themes from natural biospheres to facilitate growth and more life that gives value to and receives value from all lives within the permaculture economy. "
