After the Madoff scandal, the collapse of the stock market, and all the rest, we need recession-busters and we need a business culture of ethics and sustainability. Here are three simple steps that could make it happen:

1. Sign the Business Ethics Pledge–demonstrate your understanding that ethical businesses work better, and your commitment (which your customers will love) to conduct your business ethically.
2. Tell at least 100 others (you’ll get a resource guide offering a dozen easy ways to do this, once you sign). better yet, tell a few thousand.
3. Take advantage of the option you have as a Pledge signer to get my award-winning sixth book, Principled Profit: Marketing That Puts People First, at a very deep discount ($9.95 instead of $17.50).
4. Read a chapter a week and put at least one idea into practice.

By around May, you’ll have finished the book–and chances are good that your business will be thriving as you implement these life-changing strategies and demonstrate to the world–and your own financial team–that these ways actually work.

Why not give it a try?
