Money Through Ease

I think that debt is not a moral issue. Whether you have debt, you never use debt, you pay off all of your debt, or you always have some money that is owed to someone else. None of these make you a good or bad person.  So if debt is an objectively neutral thing, how do we want to think about it? I leave that up to you. If you're a business owner, maybe you see it as a tool or a resource. If y...

In business, you have to determine what your values actually are and then make choices using those values as a guide or compass.
