Brent, I don't know you but I feel like you're the kind of guy I would like to do business with. It sounds like you have had your share of disappointments in people (customers).

I am now retired, but fought it for many years. I always went beyond even when I was being "played". It was frustrating, but it was the only way to maintain my dignity....I knew no other way and did not give up.

For most who have your ethics...the ethics win in the long run. Learn to manage the disappointment in people and keep your moral compass. Your ethics will bring you business and you will prosper.
