You can be spiritually rich but you won't make money being honest & righteous! Then again people who make honesty & righteousness a priority usually don't care for financial gain... Don't let a world of deceit taint you. Honesty is still the best policy. It may not pay well but the long-term benefits are rewarding! :)

That is exactly how I began my business 29 years ago and stayed rigid to those simple principles for 20 years, then I retired. I was neither rich nor poor but had a reputation for being the best in my field, who always did as promised. Yet another fellow who got into business a few months after I began mine had a second location within a year, expanded to 6 stores with 5 years and became quite wealthy. His motto was sell to the classes, eat with the masses. Sell to the masses, eat Wit the classes. And as dishonest and crocked as they come he made a lot of money, in fact he's still in business. So, I've given you a very long yes and an equally long no, Or maybe he was the good business person and I was the buffoon?

Yes and no.
If you believe in God (I do), He will help you overcome any obstacle.
But... there are some exceptions. Just say if you were cheated when doing business, there is a possibility that you will go bankrupt.
But still, if you are honest, you can build your business from a scratch...
There is a 50-50 posibility...
But I still think it is possible...
