    Business Building: From Meaning to Success

    Meilleure citation de Business Building: From Meaning to Success

    “

    The only question worth asking isn't 'Can I handle rejection?' or 'Do I have enough capital?' It's simply: 'Do you want to make meaning?' Companies born from meaning have a gravitational pull that profit-chasing ventures never achieve.
