The only issue with being a good guy is that you have to be prepared to protect yourself from those who are ruthless and out for the quick profit. We must never forget that we can deny these people the opportunity to do business with us who choose the good. In order to do good, I take great care and time for failure analysis. Step back and determine if someone or someplace is worthy of your time, efforts, and money. Doing business is a partnership with mutuality for success.
Good article Dave-thank you!!!!!!

i wonder if this above coment is from kellogs foundation familly member.. and i appreciate it..
please google “wall street pschycopaths ”
i have done and learned a lot .. but still i am not sure if i can smell them .. But i lived a experience with
one of these..
its very sad that speed and greed and inteligence is collabrating for wery bad plans..like organized crime members and model is taking over all level of our systems.. what is scary is hurting the middle class es
i dont care for the top.. let the ones to deal with it on the top.. but when it hurts startups that create the most jobs .. that is a world problem..

Dave,

Great post!

Too often, we’re told that being ruthless is the only way to succeed. The truth is that you do the most business with people you like and trust.

Thanks for a reminder that core values still matter.

Loved reading this Dave.It mirrors what I have always believed and practiced…and usually someone finds it necessary to tell me that I am out of step! I just do not believe that being in business requires behaving badly.
Glad you put this out.

Love hearing this. It took me a while to see the karma come full circle on folks who looked out for themselves first. But it does.

It gave me the conviction to go even harder the other way and follow my heart.

Hi Dave:

This was a great thought at a perfect time of year. I fully agree with you. In the long run, goodness prevails. The unethical scrooges of the world pay a heavy price during their lifetimes, even as they sometimes seem to profit from their dastardly deeds as they cause misery on those around them. In the end, they are lonely people who no one wants to work with and their customers eventually despise and leave them.

You are one of the Good Guys. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and all good things in the New Year.

Dan
