If you are a smart businessman you will never allow envy and greediness to come to you together to tempt you. Temptation always surrounds a business and even you, the business owner. Always ask yourself if there is logic in envying another store for example if you manage a store. Envy strikes anyone without a hint, it is just felt and its impact is so terrible for it could create destruction to your business and image as a businessman. One thing I observed is those who envied another store have a personal motive that is to outsmart the other in a way that it's them to suffer in the long run for envy is like a disease. It won't stop unless perfected a plan of action that may harm both you and the other party. If the cause of such a feeling is the observation of why the other store has repeat buyers, the answer for that is to check or review your services to people. Are you that considerate and friendly to customers? have you tried to give a little discount if asked? Have you also replied to them in a manner that won't harm their feelings? If you are that strict, of course, expect no repeat buyers. They will most likely boycott your store.

If the cause is greediness, then you have to asses which one turned your feeling that way? Greediness is also like a disease for if not cured, it would lead to total loss of your business. You are greedy to buy something beyond your limit and for you, it is a challenge to compete with the other store without making an assumption that through it, the business will turn upside-down. If you are greedy about buying a new car or store TV for example, because you envy the other store, you have to punish yourself because you'll never succeed in your business. Why? you lack passion for your business. remember love matters most in business, so if you love your business, at all costs you will never put it to disaster. DON'T LET ENVY AND GREEDINESS KILLL YOUR DREAMS"

Envy and greed can kill a business in a number of ways. Envy can lead to employees feeling undervalued and unmotivated, which can affect productivity and morale. Greed can lead to a lack of focus on customer needs, resulting in a loss of customers and revenue. Greed can also lead to poor financial decisions, such as overspending, which can lead to financial instability. Moreover, the lack of focus on customer needs can lead to a lack of innovation and creativity, which can make it difficult to remain competitive in the marketplace. Ultimately, envy and greed can lead to a business's downfall.

Yes, will always be there.
Temptation alone can kill it. Let alone envy and greediness.

Antidote for this is CONTENTMENT. If we are content on what we earn from the business, we will prosper in the long run. It takes time.

That is true, we need to live within our means and to feel connected to what we have and only maximize it once business flourishes or booms.

My father's relatives did this before. It is a good thing that my mother was able to know this. That's the reason why we take over the business right away.

A lot of people are very greedy in the sense that they want to make huge profits at once which seems not to be possible so we just have to keep on grinding steadily and our business will be successful

That was so unethical of them. Thankful you're alarmed and took over your business. Was it your aunt who's so greedy you mentioned in Mylot?

This is true, when there is envy you would not be able to learn all that you need to learn to be able to grow. While greediness would make you take wrong decisions that would affect your business the wrong way.

Envy feeling is normal but human beings have the control to stop that feeling for we have the mind to do logical reasoning. Others never think, they immediately jump to a conclusion that may lead to chaos and destruction of business and relationships.

Envy in business might lead to chaos and destruction of business and relationships. These are always the twin evil in this so business owners need to avoid people with this spirit

Envy and greed are negative attributes that affect businesses negatively. It makes a business to go down quickly. It is greed that would make you want to buy inferior products and sell so that you can make more money.

Exactly, we need to stay away from envious and greedy people. They cannot control their emotions. Others do heinous crimes just to pursue their greed.

Definitely, greediness is one of the major things you must eliminate in your business venture if you want to succeed. When your customers find out that you are greedy they will never patronize your business again.
