“Money is just a consequence. I always say to my team, Don't worry too much about profitability. If you do your job well, the profitability will come”

Bernard Arnault

Simplified Meaning:

The quote means that focusing too much on making money is not the best way to succeed. Instead, if you concentrate on doing your work really well, the money will naturally follow as a result. For instance, imagine a chef who opens a restaurant. If she worries only about how much money she can make, she might buy cheap ingredients and overlook the food's quality. However, if she focuses on cooking delicious meals and making her customers happy, people will talk about her great food, more customers will come, and the restaurant will make more money. This advice can be applied in many areas of life. If you're a student, instead of stressing about getting the highest grades, if you dedicate yourself to genuinely understanding what you're studying and enjoying the learning process, good grades will likely follow. If you're a business owner, instead of being obsessed with profits, if you prioritize offering excellent products or services and care about your customers, success and profitability will come naturally. The key is to put your heart into the work you do, and the rewards, including money, will follow as a result.
