Integrity in Business

Unfortunately we have to write articles on the subject, this tells us there is a definitely a problem.  It is sort of like going to the store to by Preparation H.  The box says “Do not take Orally”, but you may have to remind others NOT to take it orally?  Things we should not really have to say have to be said today!  Character, honesty, integrity, and honor are words of the past and can no longer be taken for granted.

Once a country where most industry leaders were bent on greatness, today we find them wanting character and integrity.  Early last century industry and business leaders would find a need, and fill it, then capitalize on that need.  Business leaders of the past could not imagine the embarrassment of getting caught cheating even ONE customer.  There was a code of honor and character in business.  Though not all of them were honest, the majority of them could be depended on for their fairness.  Even though they competed fiercely for profits and market share, they created a system of fairness.  Today that trait has all but diminished and has been REPLACED with greed and flawed systems!

With the Enron’s of the world and others padding their books for EXECUTIVE benefit, there exists a cycle of deceit and horrid corruption for the sake of competition and shareholder satisfaction.  The corruption and competition happens internally and externally in almost every business in America today.  Where the far majority of business owners acted honorable in years past, today the majority of business owners are deficient in character.

What areas do you make concessions in your life?  We all seem to, are the concessions of your integrity, your character or do you even pay attention anymore?  Holy Smokes, Church could be a great example.  Think about it.  Can you tell the difference between and Christian run business and a Non-Christian run business?  I know that I can’t!

I’m in business to help other businesses and people protect themselves from predatory industries and conglomerates.  Although I approach them, they see me as the predator and it really makes me wonder?  I’m going to get you money that you wouldn’t have before?

I have seen CPA’s wander from their profession into the arena of knowing everything about leases, telecom and utility bills, even some claim to be an expert in merchant services?  Wow!

As our business (AmCorp Management) is performance based you will see a change in our economy with other businesses and agents becoming performance based.  We have no choice….and it will happen eventually.
