Loyalty in business

I have to agree....it really depends on where to draw the line. It's great to be able to help someone, especially when its a stranger as well, but you have to "ALWAYS" (as my parents say) "if you ever have conflicting feelings on whether to do something or not, go with the not".

If you feel that this person just doesn't have it in them to run this kind of business, perhaps the right thing is not to help out on this one. Perhaps not providing the help to this person is actually helping them in the end. I'd be totally open and honest with them....and it appears that coming here for the thoughts of others is a way to assure yourself that you really cannot do this because it almost sounds like its borderline risky on your part. I am sure this person would respect your honest thoughts and want to listen (or I am hoping so) and as long as they know you can perhaps help in other ways that won't jeopardize your way of life (as Surfn) said.

LB, honesty is the biggest part of loyalty. If you really thought he would flop with this paysite then telling him, even a little bluntly, wouldn't be a sin.

Loyalty is everything to me and that means being honest with people even if its not always what they want to hear. My friends know if they come to me for advice they won't get things candycoated to make them feel better.

If he listens to your advice, great, if he doesn't, well you can lend him the money if it doesn't hurt you too bad financially...that's probably what I would do as there's only 2 people in the adult biz that has my 100% loyalty and I would bend over backwards for them if they needed or wanted my help...even if it wasn't a wise financial decision.
