Keeping Ethical and Profitable<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes, when I explain to people what I do for a living, I get some strange looks. Telling people that I advise and support small businesses, triggers an emotional response in some people akin to if I’d said that I eat small babies with a side order of Brussel sprouts. “So, you’re like Margaret Thatcher then” was one comment I got recently in the pub.<\/div>\n
It’s the word “business”. Somehow this word has got itself a very negative set of brand values – people believe that business is bad.

When I uncover secret feelings in clients that making real money would be unethical, I worry a lot. <\/div>\n
