What's profit? And why is it so important to everyone, not just business owners and entrepreneurs?
¿Qué son los beneficios? Y, ¿Por qué son tan importantes para todos, no solo para propietarios de negocios y emprendedores?
Here's a simple quiz: When you spend $100 on a new pair of shoes does the shop owner
He aquí un simple acertijo: cuando gastas 100$ en un nuevo par de zapatos, ¿Se queda el propietario de la tienda
get to keep that $100?
con esos 100$?
The answer, of course, is...no.
La respuesta es, por supuesto, que no.
The shop owner has to pay all his business costs: employee salaries, inventory, rent,
El propietario tiene que pagar todos sus costos de negocio: salarios de los empleados, inventarios, rentas
supplies, taxes and a dozen other expenses. His profit is what's left over. It's his payment
impuestos, y otra serie de gastos. El beneficio es lo que le queda.
for the time and money he's spent and the risk that he's taken to keep his business going.
del tiempo y dinero que ha gastado y el riesgo que toma para mantener su negocio a flote.
Thank goodness for profits. Profits motivate people to work hard for themselves
Gracias a los beneficios. Sólo ellos motivan a las personas para trabajar más duro
and make life better for others.
y mejorar la vida para otros.
Take the example of Bill Gates. How did he become so wealthy? The answer is that he came
Toma el ejemplo de Bill Gates. ¿Cómo se hizo tan rico? La respuesta es que vino con algo
up with something that millions of people so wanted and needed that they reached into
que millones de personas querían y necesitaban tanto que usaron sus carteras
their pockets to pay for it -- his Windows operating system, Word software and other Microsoft products. What's more, he produced these products in a way that efficiently used resources.
para pagar por ello - su sistema operativo Windows, el software Word y otros productos Microsoft. Lo que es más, creó estos productos de una forma que usaba recursos eficientemente.
And what motivated him, and just about every other successful entrepreneur,
¿Y que le motivaba, igual que a otro emprendedor con éxito,
to work so hard? The answer is ...profits.
a trabajar tan duro? La respuesta es... Los beneficios.
Without the incentive of profits, why would anyone spend his savings, work countless hours,
Sin el incentivo de los beneficios, ¿Por que usaría
and take all the risks necessary to bring their product or service to the marketplace?
y tomar todos los riesgos necesarios para llevar su producto o servicio al mercado?
There's a simple answer: they wouldn't.
Hay una respuesta simple: no lo harían.
You don't have make billions like Bill Gates.
No tienes que hacer billones como Bill Gates.
Take a Montana cattle rancher who goes out in the dead of winter, even in blizzards,
Toma un rancho ganadero de Montana que sale en pleno invierno, incluso en tormentas de nieve,
to feed his cows, to keep them safe, and care for them, making huge personal sacrifices
para alimentar a sus vacas, para mantenerlas a salvo, y el cuidado para ellos, haciendo enormes sacrificios personales
so that New Yorkers can sit down to eat a nice steak.
para que los neoyorquinos puedan sentarse a comer un buen filete.
Why does that rancher do that? Do you think he does it because he loves New Yorkers?
¿Por qué hace eso ese ranchero? ¿Tu crees que lo hace porque ama a los neoyorquinos?
Of course not! The rancher tends to his cattle because he wants more for himself and his family.
¡Por supuesto no! El ranchero cuida a su ganado porque quiere más para él y su familia.
He wants profits.
Él quiere beneficios.
You can go to a supermarket any day of the week and if you want steak, they have it.
Puedes ir a un supermercado cualquier día de la semana y si quieres comer carne, la tienen.
If you want potatoes, they have them. Sugar, salt, potato chips, strawberries, peanut butter
Si quieres patatas, las tienen. Azúcar, sal, patatas fritas, fresas, mantequilla de maní
-- they have it. In fact, the average well-stocked supermarket in the United States has over
-- la tienen. De hecho, el supermercado medio bien surtido en los Estados Unidos tiene más de
fifty-thousand different items on its shelves. How does all that get there?
cincuenta mil cosas diferentes en sus estantes. ¿Cómo llega todo eso ahí?
It seems like magic, but it's not.
Parece magia, pero no lo es.
Every one of those items is on the shelves thanks to one thing -- profit.
Cada uno de esos elementos está en los estantes gracias a una cosa - beneficios.
The same holds true for the device you're watching this video course on -- whether it's a TV,
Lo mismo es válido para el dispositivo en el que estás viendo este vídeo - ya sea un televisor,
a desktop or laptop computer, a smart phone, or a tablet.
una computadora de escritorio o portátil, un smartphone o una tableta.
And for every component in those devices! They all exist -- as millions of other products
¡Y para todos los componentes de esos dispositivos! Todos ellos existen - como millones de otros productos
we treasure and depend upon exist -- because of the profit motive. No profit and it all goes away.
que valoramos - gracias al afán de lucro. Sin beneficios todo desaparece.
Here's another reason the profit motive is so important. Ask yourself this question:
Aquí hay otra razón por la cual el ánimo de lucro es muy importante. Hágase esta pregunta:
Which establishments do you tend to be most dissatisfied with? The answer is likely to be
¿Qué establecimientos tienden a dejarte más insatisfecho? La respuesta es probable que sea
government agencies. Why? Because they don't operate for profit.
las agencias gubernamentales. ¿Por qué? Porque ellas no tienen fines de lucro.
So no one is rewarded for good work and almost no one is ever punished for inferior work.
Así que nadie es recompensado por su buen trabajo y casi nadie es castigado por trabajar peor.
And which establishments are you most satisfied with? The answer is likely to be the ones
¿Y qué establecimientos te dejan más satisfecho? La respuesta es probable que sean los
that operate on a for-profit basis. If I'm unhappy with, say, a department store
que operan sobre una base con fines de lucro. Si yo soy infeliz con, por ejemplo, un gran almacén
like Macy's or Bloomingdale's because it's not providing me with the goods or services that I want,
como Macy o Bloomingdale porque no me proveen los bienes o servicios que quiero.
I can, in essence, fire that store by taking my business elsewhere.
Puedo, en esencia, evitar esa tienda llevando mi negocio a otra parte.
But consider a government agency like the Department of Motor Vehicles or public schools.
Pero considere una agencia gubernamental como el Departamento de Vehículos Motorizados o las escuelas públicas.
If I am frustrated with their performance, I can't fire them because I don't have many alternatives.
Si me siento frustrado con su rendimiento, no puedo evitarlos porque no tengo muchas alternativas.
Business owners must please their customers or risk failure and bankruptcy.
Los dueños de negocios deben complacer a sus clientes por el riesgo de fracaso y la quiebra.
Government agencies risk nothing and therefore have to please no one.
Las agencias gubernamentales no arriesgan nada y por lo tanto no tienen que complacer a nadie.
Am I saying that we don't need government, that everything should be on a for-profit basis?
¿Estoy diciendo que no necesitamos el gobierno, que todo debe ser sobre una base con fines de lucro?
Of course not. But what I am saying is that we should want as little government as possible.
Por supuesto no. Pero lo que estoy diciendo es que debemos querer tan poco gobierno como sea posible.
That's exactly what the Founding Fathers of our nation believed.
Eso es exactamente lo que los Padres Fundadores de nuestra nación creían.
They understood that the profit motive pushes people to do extraordinary things.
Ellos entendieron que el ánimo de lucro empuja a la gente a hacer cosas extraordinarias.
Take that motivation away and the world becomes a very different and darker place.
Quita esa motivación y el mundo se puede convertir en un lugar diferente y más oscuro.
