Money Quote Friday – Henry David Thoreau Edition.

We were just in Boston and spent a few hours out in Concord at Walden Pond. Pretty inspirational day. I thought this Friday’s quote should be from Henry David Thoreau after my visit, so here goes:

“Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.” – Henry David Thoreau

Hiring someone that only likes your money and not the work is, in my mind, a recipe for disaster. When I did hire people, I always looked for the person that had some sort of desire to do the job…not just make the money.

To those of you in the U.S., have a great long weekend!
