It's less and less a problem nowdays, but there are still some companies out there just ignoring money.
Last update 2010😵
The Yahoo Groups link is especially hilarious.
Which shows that you’re missing the point. As I wrote earlier: “I appreciate that in a money-driven culture that some people cannot understand why a business does not want to grow above a certain level of income and work, but none the less that's the basis on which a number of one-man bands work: a sufficiency of work and income to keep one fully occupied.”
- look at Navwar as an example.
I'm sorry this isnt the 1980s. So he didnt get my money.
Nope, not missing the point at all. I know full well a lot of hobbyist companies are afraid of gaining more business than they can manage. But unless you're stating that on your website or page, my default assumption as a consumer is simple: this company exists to sell products and make profit. That is absolutely the default assumption anyone makes. If your website clearly states "Hey, this is my hobby, I do it for fun and some extra cash, so shoot me an email if you have questions" - then awesome for you.It's not a clever excuse to not promote your wares if consumers don't know that. They just assume the company is poorly run or advertised, etc.
You are still missing the point. It’s not being afraid of taking on more work than can be managed, it’s about having a sufficient amount of work to be occupied to the extent that the owner wants to be occupied. And that can be done quite easily on a profit basis. As I’ve said before, the concept that someone will work on the basis that they have sufficient money coming in is difficult to comprehend in a money-driven society. But in essence, it’s about work-life balance. It's more complicated than polarizing the approach of people into either a full-on drive for profit or being laid-back hobbyists.
