For older businesses, a negative reputation will follow and is deficult, if not impossible, to overcome. This policy applies to online as well as offline business practices. Yes, it is a no brainer, but so many businesses miss the target on this, which is really no surprise, since ego seems to have been given one up on the value of human integrity. People are the most important and without them businesses can not and will not work.

3) Honesty and Truthfulness. Honesty is the best policy, as the saying goes. This is more true than a lot of people want to admit. Unfortunately, the desire for money has superseded personal integrity. Scrupulous entrpreneurs presume the success is easier when taking one for a ride, but if and when their scams are exposed and they eventually will be, they are destroyed permanently.

Taking on the attitude that people are unintelligent except oneself will raise cain in the business world, and such a venture with its goals will be brought to a grinding halt.

Those businesses that deal on the up and up and serve to, above and beyond everything else, value people are the best and are likely to be the most successful, simply because people make businesses possible and without people money is non existent, since the money that businesses value to achieve a profit comes from the people involved.
