    I’ve been self-employed for about 30 years, which puts you rubbing elbows with other self-employed business people.

    I have learned that while MOST people want to run a friendly, moral, legal business, and would never cross the line, there are a plenty of amoral businesspeople who don’t have any problems crossing the line.

    Furthermore, they are well-aware that many businesspeople won’t cross the line, so that makes their willingness to act illegally or immorally their personal competitive edge, and they absolutely look at it that way.

    They watch for decent, moral businesses, and they target them in various ways, either as a competitor, a supplier, a contractor, etc.
