Flickr Founder Gives Advice on Business Success

Stewart Butterfield, the co-founder of photo sharing website giant Flickr talks about what he see's as the key to business success:

"One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that there has got to be a reason for what you're doing. You actually have to care about what you're doing. The business has to be about something. Whatever the point of it is does not have to be inconsistent with making money, but Stewart Butterfield, Flickr Co-Founderusually if that's the sole reason, it is not very successful. Because you have to have confident employees, happy customers, and reliable suppliers to run a company as much as profits.

I am still here to win. All the people on the Flickr team are committed to what we're doing, which is to be the eyes of the world."

I love reading the thoughts and insights of creative, successful businessmen.  Butterfield started Flickr with a vision of what it could become...and it has grown to be one of the most used photo sharing websites on the Internet.

His core principles of "love for the business" is a big key in making any venture - your's included - successful and profitable.
