Quote by Robert Townsend

If you don't do it with excellence, don't do it at all! Because if it's not excellent, it won't be profitable or fun, and if you're not in business for fun or profit, what the hell are you doing there?

If you don't do it with excellence, don't do it at all! Beca

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of pursuing excellence in everything one does. It suggests that if a task or venture cannot be executed with excellence, it is better to not undertake it at all. The quote connects excellence with factors like profitability and enjoyment, hinting that without excellence, these aspects may be lacking. Ultimately, it poses a rhetorical question to challenge individuals to reassess their motivation and purpose in any endeavor, questioning why they would partake if it isn't fun or profitable.
