I think transparency and honesty are key factors. A lot of businesses have shady business models that their customers and employees don't understand. Modelling agencies operating as a pyramid scheme is a good example.

One thing which will help realising early on is, money is just a means of trade.

You might come across communities which portray money and it's existence as fundamentally wrong. There's truth to it, but also realise this is not a money problem. This is a human nature problem. If the world wanted they could have made the value of stuff elemental. But most trade had always been based off of scarcity and inequality. Money is something which amplified the atrocities and discriminations in the world. Simply because it's an efficient medium for doing whatever humans wanted to do. And it's closely tied to the hivemind. There's no inherent worth. It's not like you can save a dollar bill and expect the same values 1000 years later. Or even have the same quality of life with same money in different places.

One thing you can learn early on is, position yourself where you want to be. Never put yourself in a position where you're stuck in paradigms you don't wanna be part of. Think about Leo's reasons for quitting his Gamedev job, that's a great example. There's more than the eye meets. Contemplate on this.

Everyone deserves a good material life. Don't fall into the trap of demonizing the medium. Sure, human beings may be dumb, but the medium itself deserves no karma loading. Reminds me of the terms like blood-money, drug-money, slave-money, wage-money, free-money. No, there's just money and human nature. Poor money didn't do anything wrong. But that doesn't mean we don't need an upgrade of medium when humans have corrupted the ecosystem of money. So keep an open mind. 

The ecosystem created from money, aka economy, is punishing a lot of people around the world, never be blind to those realities. Know that money is just current expression of our unequal world, before money it was visible through other means. And I bet the future will have other means, more sophisticated. Reminds me of that movie where people trade in time because of genetic engineering advancements. Poor people die fast, rich people are basically immortal. 

It's not a conscious being's job to save all those suffering, trapped in the ecosystem. Life finds ways to equalize everything. You're free to make mistakes, iterate. 

 

Final verdict: there's no such thing as conscious business. All business is unconscious. If you want to be conscious, know the real cost of being part of this game. Accept it, but make the kill regardless. It's pain, but take it in.
