Business Ethics

There aren’t any!

Business’s don’t have ethics, people do!

OK, OK you can probably tell this is going to be a rant…  and it is!  

The Bible says that an unequal balance is an abomination to the Lord. Back in biblical times business people would sell their wears to people on the street by weight. Poor people didn’t have a scale to check the vendor but rich people did, so the vendors were careful with those who had the means to check them and took advantage of those who didn’t.  The same is true today. I don’t care what your business is, you should have one price for the service or product being offered, if you don’t people will find out and you will be known for the crook that you are.

How about this… do you ever hear, “It’s just my job,” or “It’s company policy,” or “I just work here,” what you’ve done is given responsibility–to no one.  If you are not willing to take responsibility for your companies polices maybe you shouldn’t be working for that company.  But John, the economy is tough, jobs don’t grow on trees, bla, bla, bla.  Go out and do what God created you to do!  You do what you can and let God do what you can’t.  Is it scary…YEP  Is it worth it…YEP Is it easy…NOPE.  But it is easier then dieing a slow death at someone else’s hand, business plan and ethics.

The answer: Take responsibility for what you do and where you do it! Personally I am a lousy employee because as soon as I go to work for someone I know I can do it better and I start looking for the opportunity to open my own business….which I eventually do! I personally think that the next 25 years will be the re emergence of the entrepreneur.  The hard working people of this country are going to take what is rightfully theirs.

Have an idea?  Do something about it!  Put together a plan and start acting on it.  That is what many of today’s large corporations are doing…. and guess what????  Your future may not be part of their plan!

The very same tools that are available to large corporations and now available to you and me.  This is an incredible time in history.  With todays technology you can have phone systems, web sites and systems that can put you right in the game for a very small investment.

I guess the question is: will we stand up and be counted or just complain about the system we created.  Me?  I’ve been bucking the system for almost 30 years so I guess I won’t stop now.   Big corporations aren’t the problem, they are just entities on paper.  I bet you think you can do it better then your boss anyway!  I bet you can!  Now go out and conquer your world…..

I know corporations are big but they don’t have heart!  People do!  You do!

BE THE BRAVEHEART OF THE BUSINSS WORLD!

END OF RANT!
