You said "...our primary reason for existance is not to make money." To
which I say, with respect, bullmuffins. The primary function of any =
business
is to make a profit. The primary purpose of any employment is to make =
money.
Can we do that with integrity and honesty? Absolutely. But I'm not in
business to be noble: it's my livelyhood. This is NOT a personal =
critisiscm
of you or your operating philosophy, but making money is a good thing.

Hi Alan:=20

My philosophy is something like the following.=20

If you are an artist, and paint oil paintings, you sell them - not to =
make money, but for the sake of the art. Sometimes you make it big. Most =
of the time you suffer. Do you call this a business? I don't.=20

I am an artist of sound.  Every tuning is like selling an oil painting.=20

The primary purpose of any service is to serve the public. The drudgery =
of having money, survival, employment, a new car, income tax, are only =
sidelines - that take up far too much of my time, and I wish I didn't =
have to bother with it.=20

Can we do it without honesty and integrity? Absolutely not. Can we tune =
six pianos a day and put the money in the bank? Absolutely not. Why? We =
must think of nobler things if we are to survive. It is not for naught =
piano tuning is deemed 'the noblest of trades.' =20
