In the community ecosystem, much focus is given to INCOME. Income can be sourced from a vast number of opportunities, and in most communities, Businesses are the focal point of conversation. This can be due to several factors, but one common stance from all of it is that the business brings opportunities; whether it be opportunities for financial freedom, for cultural development, for jobs, for giving lifestyles, for housing, etc., businesses are a major driving point for the community.
