The origin of the word business refers to the state of being busy. Your business is what keeps you busy. And rightfully so, business people are busy people.
But let me offer you a definition that you may want to use from now on.
A business is an idea that intends to help people. So, it is an idea that solves people’s problems and is an idea that people are willing to buy.
You don’t have to be busy all the time to have a good business. Helping people solve their problems is a good business.
