It doesn’t matter where you start, its where you finish. In this day and age most businesses started as a result of years of experience and strategy investment with large investment and big money in the beginning. However, there are still million of people starting their business without experience and with only small amount of money.

          Whole foods market started out with a small store in Austin Texas but today they become world’s leader in natural and organic foods. Now they have more than 360 stores in North America and United Kingdom. The owners were less than 25 years old when they started their business. They opened their first store with borrowed money from family and friends and after a year they decided to use their apartment storage for their second store and for reducing their cost they start living their as well. Although it was hard-they didn’t  even had a shower stall for a year-  but they didn’t give up and eventually they moved back to their apartment and opened a new market with 19 stuff. Today they are consider as a successful business.(read more)

So i guess they success is so inspirational and remind us that winners never quit and quitters never win and it really doesn’t matter so much where you start from as long as you keep going forward with all the difficulties you are facing you will find what you were looking for .

SLIPPERY SLOPE

While crossing the ethical line a little seem not to harm anyone in long term. It has effect in all of our lives because if you cross the line once it gets easier for you to cross it again. We usually convince ourselves by saying it didn’t harm anyone.

But what really causes people to begin unethical behaviour in the first place? I guess we can say lack of appropriate ethical guide line. If people be aware of the consequences of their behaviour they will be more trustworthy. Having a regular check can also prevent any unethical behaviour. Teaching mangers to know what to look for and to add politics in their practices.

In addition unethical act is not always transparent and some would do an unethical act without knowing it. Therefore companies must be clear about the type of conduct and behaviour they expect.

Companies should also encourage loyalty by showing appreciation to employees who work well. Also they should be more concerned about who they hire and make sure they hire people that are educated and experienced with good reputation, because people usually don’t risk losing their background. Finally I read somewhere that having more open and transparent practices really lead to less unethical behaviour.
