Can you be a businesswoman and a good person?

Question

I'm confused. My job is making money. Is there any good in that? Can I be a businesswoman and a good person? Or am I doomed?

Answer 1

Making money does not make you a bad person. I don't know anything about your business but unless you're a contract killer I don't think you have anythig to worry about. Its not like you put a gun to people's head and make them buy or do whatever it is they are doing. We are in a Capitalist society and we have free will we can do with our money as we please. Being successful does not make you horrible it just makes you successful. In the movie Lord of War with Nicolas Cage I agree with him. He was an illegal gun runner, and he was not a bad person. He just supplied a service to people that wanted what he had. If he wasn't there to sell them someone else would, he just sold he didn't decide what happened. Just don't forget your family. Not providing for your family and neglecting them, htat would make you a bad person.

And don't concern yourself with what tactics you need to get ahead, as long as you are f*cking and killing your way to the top I think all is fair game.

Answer 2

There is nothiing wrong with succeeding.

And yes you can be a businesswoman and a good person.

But most business people aren't good people.

Business works to squeeze as much money out of their product.

And people do this by finding loopholes in laws, although the practices are still illegal.

My dad was a business man and a good Christian man and he got taken advantage of or people tried to often enough to where he got out of business. And he is much happier.

Answer 3

Only if you're not saved.

As Christians, we are given many opportunities to serve in the community. An especially successful businesswoman is expected to be an especially resourceful steward of what God has given her.

Answer 4

Yes you can be a good business woman, because there is nothing wrong with money. Money is what allows our society to function. Without money, our society would be stuck with the barter system which seriously limits growth. Basically, we would all be living in the middle ages.

Perhaps to ease your mind you could take an economics class at your local college?

Answer 5

Being a good businesswoman doesn't mean you can't also be a good person. They are not mutually exclusive.

Answer 6

Women have been conditioned to think that if they cannot be successful in business if they are nice. Totally untrue! It actually enhances your success. You are setting the bar for those who follow you. Why in the world would you be in business if not to make money. Unless I missed something, that's exactly what you're suppose to do.

Answer 7

Yes to both. Get in a business that you think is moral, and act in an ethical manner at all times. Why do you think it has to be any different?

Answer 8

It all depends what YOU do with the money.

Lavish junk or take care of your family and others.

Definityl NOT doomed - unless you have not accepted SALVATION.

Answer 9

yes. even though your of course looking for profit,every buisness provides a service or good that helps the people who buy it.therefor you are helping others which makes you a good person

Answer 10

Money doesn't buy happiness but poverty doesn't either. The more money you have the more people you can help. As long as the money is made ethically and you don't worship the money itself.
