Defining Good Business
A good business is defined as one that is profitable and sustainable, meaning it cash flows positively rather than negatively. This type of business generates revenue upfront for services provided, ensuring a more reliable income stream. It should also have a historical footprint, indicating its ability to thrive over time, and be easily understandable for anyone, including a layperson. Businesses that fail to meet these criteria, especially those that operate at a loss or are too complex to comprehend, are classified as bad businesses.
