This is the sad part. If we cannot set our boundaries and practice the importance of self-discipline against greediness, then the business will suffer and can lead to bankruptcy.
I think business owners are greedy for money. Otherwise, there is no need to start a business. They want to earn as much as possible. That being said, if you are too greedy and do not offer your products/services at a reasonable price, your business will fail.
I think it's really tough for a person who’s unwilling to invest money to run a successful business. In most cases, businesses require a lot of upfront costs—whether that’s for inventory, marketing, or even hiring the right team. If someone is too focused on holding onto their money and not putting it back into the business, they’re likely going to struggle with growth. Successful business owners know that spending strategically is part of building long-term success. Of course, it's important to be smart with money, but being overly cautious or "greedy" could definitely hold a business back. What do you think? Do you think there’s a balance between smart spending and being too careful?
Greed and business don't go together. Sometimes, business people do small giveaways to attract or retain a customer and that is a problem to a greedy person.
A business run by a greedy person would surely want to exploit the employees and end up with high employee turnover.
