Hey! At the end of the day, almost everyone (save a few) are motivated by money but manage to shroud that motivation with a 'making the world a better place' story.

Having said that, building a business with the aim to make money is perfectly fine. One person's goal is no lesser than the other. And the ultimate goal of a Business? To make money anyway.

Here's the one thing you need to get right - no matter why you build a business.

- what is the problem that your target customers are facing, that's painful enough that they seek a solution, but their problem is not being solved well through existing options.

Find this, serve it, and you'll build a profitable business.
