One way or another, the result will be the same. You will have to deal with it at some point, so why not just deal with it now? Why add unforeseen costs, annoying stress, and extra baggage to a business decision that could have been resolved in minutes had you just acted with integrity.
As I write this, I cannot answer that question— for I speak for myself and my clients when I say, we don’t run our businesses this way. Running a business with integrity means you settle your debts, you swallow your pride and you do what’s right… Because if you don’t it will catch up with you sooner or later; or worse, it will eat away at your soul and your sanity bit by bit. And there is nothing more distracting that running a business with an unclean soul.
With an unclean soul, originality cannot be birthed, for originality breeds on introspection and is the mother load of creativity. Without creativity, a business cannot sustain without problem-solving and if copycatting is your forte, eventually your business will drown in Universal debt and that’s a payment plan you don’t control its maturity.
Perhaps the subconscious mind can fool you from time to time to believing there is a shortcut to success, but I assure you, the only shortcut to success starts with your original idea, putting in the time and effort needed to bring that vision to fruition, and building a brand based on a fundamental Universal Law: integrity.
