A business (also called firm or an enterprise) is a legally recognized organizational entity designed to provide goods and/or services to consumers or corporate entities such as governments, charities or other businesses. Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, most being privately owned and formed to earn profit to increase the wealth of owners.
The owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for work and acceptance of risk. Notable exceptions include cooperative businesses and state-owned enterprises. Socialistic systems involve either government, public, or worker ownership of most sizable businesses.
The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society as a whole, doing commercially viable and profitable work. The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope the singular usage (above) to mean a particular company or corporation, the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, such as "the music business" and compound forms such as agribusiness, or the broadest meaning to include all activity by the community of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate.

Business is based on true free-market values and natural law, not managed and manipulated economies such as we have today. Business is the economic engine to change the world, for better or for worse, depending on our choices. Everything you buy is a vote for that product. Your money is your vote.
Whenever possible choose debt-free, gold, silver and commodity-backed exchange systems that create true economies of, by and for the people, instead of global casino operations run by legally sanctioned criminal syndicates (i.e., privatized governments, transnational corporations and central banking systems).
Deregulate the banking cartel and create competitive monetary systems based on free-market choices. Eliminate all income tax and protectionist schemes that penalize productivity. Restore freedom and liberty.
"You can never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." - R. Buckminster Fuller
Most people have the innate ability to combine their native intelligence with available resources to produce something of value to exchange with others. So what is the nature of a sustainable and just economy? What do we really want? What do we really need? What are we willing to pay money for and what can we receive in exchange or for free?
The most important question of all is what are we willing to produce, or how will we serve and give? This ability to produce is the basis for all wealth generation and sound business practice as well. Take notice of the abundance of the universe and the opportunities existing everywhere. Access your wealth-building ability and power within.
What is bought and sold informs us about our personal and social values.
- Do not allow your desires and values to be manipulated by marketing and advertisers.
- Lighten your consumption and live sustainably.
- Live simply that others may simply live.
- Do not be distracted by shallow materialism that takes you away from self, family, community and soul. Not all that glitters is gold.
- Always produce more than you consume and your survival and those of others around you is assured.
- Tithe at least 10% of your efforts to those in need.
"The fear that holds you will never release you. You must step through it Now. There will not be a better moment nor will there be a worse moment. There is only One Moment - This Moment."
"If you hold only one belief that you've never examined, that that belief is holding you as steadfastly as if you were anchored to the highest, most massive mountain range in the world." - Carson's Commentary
