Make a Profit AND Change the World.
In The “Psychic Benefits” of Nonprofit Work Are Overrated, Dan Pallotta rails against the idea of working at a significant discount because it’s the “right thing to do”. I can’t remember the last time a business post made me smile so much.
He makes an excellent case that making a lot of money and donating it to a cause is far better for everyone than taking a small or huge pay cut and working for the cause.
Making a difference in this world is not defined along the lines of profitability or non-profitability. It is not an either/or choice; it is both/and.
