The Financial Times ran an inspiring story of UK company called Monetise. A nine years old company with a market capitalization of 250 million pounds which has yet to break even.
All its profit were invested back into the business for further expansions. This is a characteristic that is not commonly found in many business. Many business owners would be more worried about the bottom line than the company's future growth. Another company that was mentioned who sacrifice short term profit for long term expansion is Amazon. Amazon has shown great success being one of the biggest online retailer while Monetise has a strong foothold in both the UK and US market.
To be successful in business, the owner must have faith in the business. Busy making money and busy cashing out from the business is an entirely different thing. Ask yourself, how much are you willing to re-invest your business's profit?
