One of our listeners recently sent us an email about a Cistercian Monastery in central Wisconsin that sells ink toner and cartragdes.
Why are they involved in business you might wonder? I was unware of this but Roman Catholic Monasteries in America must be self-sufficent. I also learned that the business is doing so well (sales in the single digit millions) that they're able to donate the majority of their profits to charity.
Why would I buy from a Monk? First, I immediatly trust them. Also, I feel like what they sell will be of good quality. This brings me to think - what lessons can laic, main-stream businesses learn from this ecclesiastical enterprise? Can business make big bucks and be good at the same time? Would you buy from a monk?
