Well, for a good while I ran my business, which I have because the government 
here does not like me to consider myself to be ad-hoc labour for hire as a 
sole proprietor, after a while, for one reason or another, I incorporated. 
After all these years, I am still the only "employee" and pretty much the 
sole shareholder. (In this country, it isn't relly possible as I understand 
it to actually be the sole shareholder, but I have all but a very few.)

Now, this corporation exists to serve me and my life and not just to make 
money. I can do things with it that don't relate to profit or pr and brand as 
Mia refers to in another post. I honestly do things with it that are not 
geared to commercial. Now, it may be that by definition, everything I do 
through the company is of a commercial nature, but in reality, that is not 
always true. Now, anyone may choose to believe or disbelieve this as they 
will, but that is one example.

all the best,

drew
