My Balanced Scorecard — Have Fun. Do Good. Make Money.

Have fun.  Do good.  Make money.

These are the things on my scorecard, and the first among them is all three.

Today I was talking with some business friends including one fellow who’s trying to decide what to do with the valuable remnants of a business that recently collapsed.  He had many ideas, any of which could be a viable re-configuration of the original idea.  But which ones would be the best for him?

“What do you want?”, I asked him.

“That’s a deep question,” he replied.

I told him what I want from my business.  I want to have fun, do good, and make money.

Turns out that he wants the same thing, along with everyone else around the table.  Fortunately, there’s an ample and ever-growing supply of each.
