This month’s Business Channel theme was dreamed up by Shannon Cherry over at Startup Spark. Shannon says that she “thought it would be fun to find out how kids teach us things about business.”
Kids were never part of my world and cats don’t count, so I didn’t participate, but did think that you’d enjoy some weekend reading.
For the heck of it I asked my cats their thoughts on business and they very patiently explained that the purpose of business is to supply them, cats in general and, grudgingly, other animals including dogs, with food, shelter and toys. Beyond that, they considered business to be highly over-rated, since it detracted from time better spent lavishing attention on them.
