A businessman puts a lot of effort into causing a business to grow. Yeah, but--a business has to get money from somewhere; he can't make that money come in any more than a tulip grower can make the bulbs flower. Both call for setting up optimum conditions, and that's as far as it can go. (Other than illegally forcing someone to give money, which makes it likely the business will die at some point anyway.)
And, Pookie--I don't care 'bout no grammar, here: it is WRONG to say grow a business! So quit baggin' me! [crossthreading e]
