Never mix business and politics
Within the current political climate we all of have our own
personal opinions that should be kept to ourselves when it comes to our
professional or personal persona. Never should you mention your political views
when conducting business. What could happen you ask if you were to speak your
political mind – you will lose half your customer base within minutes. The reason
I say this is because half the country votes one way while the other votes
another way. What this means is simple, half your base would buy your goods and
services, while the other half will do everything, they can to destroy your
business from giving bad reviews, talk trash about your business online and
post out nasty grams on social media to bring you down completely and prevent
you from earning a living.
Your company is not set up to gain the rewards of any election
so why share your political views with the world. Keep your opinion to yourself
and never write them down on social media.
My father used to used to lecture future political candidates with one
simple rule he lived by. Never put anything in writing you don’t want a million
people to read. That goes for love letters to a one-night stand, nor to anyone
who could potentially hurt you in the future. Same goes for your business,
never, ever post out your political beliefs, no matter how much an issue drives
you crazy, keep those opinions to yourself.
Every opinion you post out, you alienate a potential customer,
remember that.
