Business.. what is it really?

It's amazing how we humans use words on a daily basis, but we really don't know the true meaning for most of the words we use. Don't worry, I'm not pointing any fingers because I'm guilty too But what we need to realize is if we want to be successful in business, we truly have to understand the word BUSINESS.

I have studied the process of business and financial success for 10 years now, and I want to give back. I guess I could call myself a professional researcher (similar to Napoleon Hill). People always told me I have the ability to see things other people can't. So hopefully I can share that with you today. I don't have a website or anything, so don't worry about me trying to sell you anything. I want to do one thing and one thing only in this thread. And that is define the word BUSINESS.

This thread is going to be boring to most people because most people want the quick fix. So all dreamers, greedy people, wishers, close minded and vague people please remove yourself.

Now for the big question. What is business? After all, if we cannot define business, then we are tackling something which we have only a vague idea of!! That is dangerous!! If we don't know what business is, then how can we really be successful? You do want to make a profit on this thing we call business don't you!!? And how do you do that if you don't know what business is?

Therefore............... we need to DEFINE the word business. This DEFINITION needs to be very precise, like computer language.

A computer does not know what it is doing.
A computer knows nothing and you have to give every instruction in detail.
A definition is needed that is idiot proof.

We cannot have vague definitions or else we will fall flat.

Definitions invited. Go ahead and submit your definition. But expect me to attempt to put holes in it for the purposes of perfecting your definition!! I will hold back my definition until I feel we are making progress.

Now over to you!!.............
