RE: Being the Small Fish or the Shark in Business

in #business7 years ago

Awesome blog @michelleterese!

So accurate lol, unfortunately. And you bring up great questions, whether one can be a success in business without losing dignity. I think it's not entirely possible in the current climate. I think one has to 'play the game' here and there, if not, often, to move up.
But if one can bring a degree of dignity/humanity to the table every now and then/mixed in with that game-playing, then that's awesome. Showing that it is possible, which I'm sure it is, and being an example of course, to others.

And the last question, I'd say it's more to accept and move on with the protection of work/content being stolen. Thing is, then to challenge one can require a third party, legal proceedings etc, which can cost a fortune, then the risk of that not having the desired outcome and losing money instead. It is games upon games lol. Quite amusing, really, ha!

Anthony, thanks so much for reading my post, and sharing your thorough response!

As for work/content being stolen - it seems like the moment it's up on the internet it's available for anyone to use, even if they liked a sentence of mine and use it in their daily life, is that stealing? lol so much to look at :)

Lol, yes, lots to look at!

If they liked a sentence of yours and use it in their daily life, like, them using it to assist themselves? That's cool, isn't it? Lol. And then they could spread the message to people they know, either verbally, by blog etc..
Well, if I knew/saw someone posting a sentence I wrote/blog I wrote or some of it, and it was being shared/used for purposes to assist themselves and others, then I'd be cool and happy with that!

Although if it came to money and stealing one's idea/words and they make a profit and you don't..that's not so cool for sure haha. Although, still there is light at the end of the tunnel I think, because at least that message is still cool. Guess it depends on the starting point of sharing that message or 'stealing' that message lol. All in all, if it makes waves and in the end is promoting change for the best, then, I'm okay with this!
