Are You Helping People? Are You Happy? Are You Profitable?
Derrick sivers is a friend of mine, insmat frendof mine. He used to run a company aled sd baby and sold it for like 20 millions back in the day. In one of his chapters he says never forget why you're really doing what you're doing. Are you helping people? Are you happy? Are they happy? Are you profitable? Isn't that enough? That's probably my favourte quote.
