    I know people say: “it’s not about the money, it’s about the journey”

    I know, it’s grotesquely-uncouth to say it’s all about the the Dough, Coin, Wonga, Cash-eesh, Moolah, Bunsen-Burner-Nice-Little-Earner

    But, C’maaaaaaaaaannnn.

    Let’s not beat around the bush.

    There’s a gorgeous pot of glistening gold waiting for you at the end of your Rainbow.

    If you sell you’ll be filthy rich, minted and smoking cubbies on the French Riveria.

    I jest. But, I do believe you can do BOTH.

    You can build an amazing brand, have lots of fun, help people, do good and, also, make a BUCKET LOADS OF COIN.
