Enlightened Business Practices and Photography

I have been following the efforts of a friend named Brian Robertson of Ternary Software to bring enlightened business practices to the Software Industry.
It occurred to me today that if I'm going to build what I consider a successful business out of my love for photography that it would have to be done with some of these concepts in mind.
Here is a summary of how I'm applying enlightened business practices to photography:
1. Customers should have unrestricted access to their photographs.
2. Customers should only be required to purchase prints they want.
3. Customers should pay a fair hourly rate for the photographers time.
4. Printing of photographs should be limited as much as possible.
5. A portion of time should be dedicated to mastering the craft.
6. A portion of time should be dedicated to worthy causes.
This is no doubt only a beginning but I'm looking forward to the remainder of the journey. If you have any ideas on how I can better apply enlightened business practices to the business of photograpy shoot me an e-mail or leave me a comment
