“We don’t make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies.”
~ Walt Disney
I read this quote in ‘Show Your Work’ and wondered how it applied to our mission here at Shop Local. I asked my team and they submitted their interpretations. One colleague even used an AI tool.
Team Submissions:
“We don't make Shop Local to make money, we make money to sustain Indie Stores.”
~ Jim
"We didn't make this software just to make money, most importantly, we made this software to help our local shops make money"
~ Danish
AI’s submissions were good, too. I liked the AI’s use of the terms “means,” “amplify,” “empower,” and “catalyst.” I’ve included the AI responses below.
PS ~ My take: “We don’t make the platform to make money, we make money to make more of your platform.” I believe money is the means and catalyst to help us help our clients.
