Beware of stealing in your business. Perhaps there is a better word? Stealing happens when someone takes something from you when you are not looking, or, when you are unaware initially. Customers, staff, suppliers and partners involved in your business can do this. Their motivation is often being unfair to gain an advantage for themselves.

Whether it is by asking you to reduce prices, taking valuable time from you without adding value, not understanding that the relationship you have is just as important as the profit you make, or, by demanding stuff you just can’t do which is compromising. If you allow people to steal from you, you are literally giving people permission to cheat you.
