In this article I would like to talk about making business and earning a money. I am going to present new perspective on business making. It is good to have different perspectives in your mind while working on things, because different perspectives always work synergistic, what is good, of course. 
Business making in traditional sense is starting with the idea and bringing together people and encouraging them to do things as you planed. In return providing them salary. The result of all your and your workers' actions is some kind of product or service, you are then trying to sell to someone who finds your product or service useful.
Basically in every business case you are having some kind of good, you are then trying to exchange for money. But what is money in the first place? Money is estimation for the good. With money, you can compare and value otherwise incomparable things.
Now, let's look at business making in a little different perspective. What if instead of exchanging your goods for money, you would try to get valuable goods from other people right away. It might be information. It might be opinion. It might be idea. It might be art work. You name it, what can it be. Basically anything that has an value attached to it. It is important to have good underlying idea - how and why people would be willing to contribute. And it is important, to get them excited and motivated. And most important is knowing - what you will do with the good you get. May be you can exchange it for money right away or maybe you can use obtained goods to build something even more valuable.
The pros of this approach is that it is easier to get value from people other than money. Most of people are very inert of giving money away. They tend to calculate their expenses, and get rid of everything that costs money, and they don't really need. But getting different kind of value most of time is much easier. You don't really need money, per se. You need to have valuable things, right?
I hope, knowing this perspective, you will let you make better decision one day.
