I did not intend to write about this…at all…however I have been faced with this topic over and over again as a business owner and employee. I will cover different thoughts about doing business based on values above and beyond everything else. If there is an incident with a business associate which works against someone’s core values many will say to not let it affect one's “bottom line.” After hearing this several times, I started to wonder, what is my bottom line? It certainly isn’t money (if it was I likely could just turn the other cheek). How could I continue doing business with someone who so intensely offended one of my core values? What message did that send to my other colleagues?
