We are one with everything and what we are is not only reflected in what we do and how we do it, in our values and in the education of our children, it is also reflected in our companies, in our business relationships, in our family relationships, in everything.
We have been reducing our family and social circles, and we only create commercial ties driven mostly by greed, by short-term profit and not long-term profit.
I have witnessed how certain tax consultancies focus on the monetary benefit and totally disregard the social benefit, leaving their employees and clients in precarious situations.
When a company or an entrepreneur forgets that legally speaking, regardless of their activity, they are LEGAL PERSONS. And our law has not invented this term lightly. First of all, they are PEOPLE and therefore must as such have human values and take care of the good psychosocial health of their employees and business relationships with other people.
Selling for the sake of selling a service without taking into account the needs or difficulties of our customers, at exorbitant prices, is not only greed, but should be criminally punishable as a type of usury that harms society as a whole.
The idea of free capitalism does not work if individuals lack professional and personal ethics. This is the jungle. Anyone can set a price and the one who sells best wins; no matter what or who.
The sale of smoke and illusion is about to come to an end. The new technologies and the new law creates and grows make it clear that the future of consultancy firms will depend solely and exclusively on quality. No more chopping invoices, no more! Either you know or you know! Only those professionals who adapt to the new changes and offer added value will be able to get ahead.
I have worked in a consultancy that charges its clients a modest 500 euros plus VAT to draw up a loan contract. ChatGPT draws it up for free, but ours was drawn up by a lawyer! A lawyer who used a template that took him 10 minutes to fill in with his data. No, we have registered it with the ATIB! Registering a loan contract with the ATIB does not take more than 15 minutes. What other excuses are we going to use to charge excessively?
The degradation of social values leads new businesses and self-employed start-ups to unnecessary ruin. If we do not think as consultants that it is necessary for our clients to succeed, to grow responsibly, to provide work for others and to generate money and social welfare, how can we move forward?
Every day politics and politicians are criticized for their lack of ethics, but what about companies and market prices? We must move together towards collaboration in order to adapt to the changes that in less than 10 years will sweep away the way we create and make profits.
It is the jungle of the fittest, not the richest. Your values mark your destiny. A person who thinks only of himself ends up alone. A legal person who only thinks in the short term, self-destructs and does not create a legacy.
