E116-It's Just Business

“It’s just business!”
“It’s just business” is a phrase which people tend to skirt behind when they are really saying that they have no problem taking advantage of you or someone else.
You should always do the right thing and be fair in every deal whether it is business or personal.
No one should use this phrase to justify their lack of morals and ethics when dealing with others.
It is wrong to take advantage of others, especially when you know you can.
Once, I sold a piece of property to a man that obviously had a weak business background. He was going to lose approximately $50,000 on the deal between us because of the way he wanted to make changes on the purchase agreement.
Although, it would have been to my financial advantage to say nothing to him about the loss he was about to receive, I showed him how I could not do the deal in the manner that he had changed it because it would be taking advantage of him.
He could not hardly believe that I was pointing out to him that he was going to lose money on a property that I was selling to him. I explained to him that I do not participate in a deal unless both parties benefit from it. A great deal is when both parties win!
Will you make sure that everyone wins during your next deal?
Luke 6:31
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
