making money is a result.

Steve Denning on Agility is not enough:

The whole organization must be focused on delighting the customer as the bottom line of its business. Making money is a result, not the goal of the firm.

(update)

making money is a means to an end.

Great companies are not in business to make money,
they make money to stay in business
and accomplish an important purpose.
