Seth Godin’s October 28th post, It’s Just Business really hit home with me. I am currently dealing with an intense situation at work and Seth summed up my feelings quite succinctly. Here is the entire post:

It’s just business.

Nope, actually…

“It’s just life.”

Anyone who is willing to lie to you, cheat you or treat you with disrespect because it’s just business is doing more damage to herself than to you.

Work takes too much time and too much emotion for it to be just work. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t want to spend time or money with anyone who has this particular attitude disfunction. – Seth Godin

I feel exactly the same way. I reached a point years ago in both my personal and business life where I will not compromise my values anymore. And on top of that, I always treat people the way I want to be treated or better. I also don’t ever use the excuse, “It’s just business.”

Thanks Seth! Perfect timing.
