"I like to think I'm a moral person but many times in my career
(and in the careers of friends), I've been forced to choose between
unethical behavior and possibly losing my job. I handled this
on a case by case manner, where I had to weight the importance of
the unethical behavior, the likelihood of me being punished, the
odds of me successfully elevating the issue to a superior, how much
the unethical behavior would actually hurt the injured party, etc.
In other words, my response was ambiguous and led to a lot of
sleepless nights." The listener went on to explain that achieving
financial independence strengthened his or her moral backbone and
make it easier to say no to bad people at work. This is a brilliant
insight and highlights one of the great benefits of financial
independence. In this episode I share some suggestions about how
you can use entrepreneurship, extreme saving and unjobbing to make
it easier for you to do the right thing.
