I believe good business ethics are easy to abide by if there the right ones for you.
Have you heard the term, "it's nothing personal, it's just business"?
I don't like that expression, because to me it means if it wasn't business I could help you out, or things would be different.
Here's my point of view on business ethics: You should run your business the way you run your life. The beliefs should be the same.
When you have business ethics that are different from your personal ethics then you always have to choose and be conscious of what to do.
If you abide by one set of ethics for your personal decisions and your business decisions, it's easier to stay on track. Not to mention, less stress on you.
So you don't need to abide by a personal set of ethics and a business set of ethics.
This whole idea doesn't mean that you shouldn't be making a profit or making business transactions that are at a loss.
It does mean if just because you are in business, it doesn't give you an excuse to harm others and tell them it's only business.
Business can be profitable while sticking to good business ethics.
That's the way I see it!
