Mind Your Own Damn Business Sexcess
You have certainly heard the expression "mind your own damn business" used in a multitude of contexts. The most typical being the don't kiss and tell type statements, often uttered by responsibly private individuals about their love life. Then there are the polar opposite, blabbermouth, tell all people (you know who you are) that just can't keep their preverbal trap shut. Many may believe that there are specific gender biases towards kissing and telling, yet this remains unproven scientifically. So what the heck does this have to do with business and let alone success? Consider what happens when you replace "the love life" portion of the kissing and telling story with "your or your employers business"! All of a sudden it hits you. Your success in business can be inextricably affected by what comes out of your or your employee's mouths. Here's a short, but true, story for you about a salesman that was furious about something while he was out to lunch, at a small café. This built up anger was taken out on a waitress, who was one of four high school kids working there for the summer. He was loud, rude, and flat out disrespectful to the girl, and his overreaction to the situation brought tears to the waitress's eyes. The three other kids watched and intently listened to the entire incident. One of the two boys behind the counter said, "I know that guy. I've seen him in my father's office." Remarkably, each of the four high school kids had a parent who was a doctor. They found out from the boy's father that the angry customer was a salesman for a pharmaceutical company. Then and there, each kid planned to tell their parents not to do business with that salesman. Everybody knows somebody, so remember being nice to someone might not get you a client, but being mean to someone could kill your business, even if it's a kid. So kissing and telling, good, bad or indifferent, stories can obviously have a dramatic impact on your bottom line. It's a good reminder to keep your trap shut, or at least take some time think about how you treat people, and especially how you discuss potentially embarrassing or harmful information with those around you. It's not enough to leave a name out these days, as in some industries people can figure out whom you are talking about pretty quickly. So unless you want to be tied up in litigation, for the next ten years, please mind your own damn business sexcess! by Lee Raito, CFP, FMA Business and financial expert Lee Raito is a Certified Financial Planner and Financial Management Advisor from Canada.

Richard Shell, author of Bargaining for Advantage: Negotiation Strategies for Reasonable People, identifies three primary schools of ethics in negotiation. Ethics In The Workplace Workplace Ethics is a subject that we have all heard of. In fact, the subject of Ethics in general is something that most people are familiar with. Do Organizations Serve Us Or Do We Serve Organizations We have seen an erosion in the confidence that society has in organizational leadership and its integrity recently with the numerous accounting scandals that have become public.Clearly this has led to the demise of several large organizations. No Credit is Due: Bad Telemarketing Just a few minutes ago I was debating what to write about this week -- something interesting, perhaps, or maybe it was about time to give some credit to snails, I thought. Then, by some random stroke of luck, fate or writer's lightning (a term I created just now), I received a phone call from a credit card company. Business Ethics: An Oxymoron? Why do I believe good PR and business ethics are inextricably linked? It comes down to definitions. Ethics is learning what is right and what is wrong and then doing the "right thing. Brain Development and Due Process DUE PROCESSAfricans, especially Nigerians are stereotyped on the internet and offline in foreign countries as corrupt, cheats and thieves.Whenever I have to introduce myself to foreign contacts, whether online or offline, I must make visible effort to prove my contact wrong, because he or she instantly sees me as a scammer-419, another Nigerian cheat or thief.

Vice of Buggery at FTC At the Federal Trade Commission we have seen attorneys who suffer from the vice of buggery get promoted to higher and more important international divisions. Now then, are these attorneys who have personal sexual problems and are breaking the laws of sodomy not wanted in the main group of Federal Trade Commission Employees? Is the FTC worried about sexual harassment laws? Are they worried about on-the-clock Men's Restroom "Quickies" and the possibility of the need for an unflattering in-house employee investigation becoming public? Is the Federal Trade Commission afraid to fire these buggerists, for some employee unlawful termination suit? Is buggery so pervasive that the FTC has to invent new titles for these guys so they can be moved up in rank to other divisions? If so why doesn't the FTC adopt a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy" to prevent special treatment of those who suffer from buggery? Can't the FTC get psychological help for these men who thrust their penis up another man's rectum? Obviously these human organs were not set up to do that. Business Ethics There is much talk today about ethics in business - as there should be, but there should be more than talk; there should be a high moral code for all executives who are responsible to both their customers and their shareholders.I have been the president and CEO of one publicly owned company and also was president of another that was responsible to customers who traded equities.
