Standing on Business

To stand up for yourself and the principles you hold, especially in light of hard truths and people close to you whose actions hurt you or conflict with your principles.

There is an element of the phrase that does infer youre taking care of personal affairs or financial affairs or your responsibilities.

It can have a noble inflection or a selfish one,
But much like most language, context is key.
