Jennifer, thank you for this article! We are in a time now where we can not afford to lose customers. I am not a very spiritual person, but I applaud people who are! I am a very political person, but I do know not to talk about in with my business. I heard you on a Karen Phelps teleseminar and I have been hooked on you ever since. Keep up the great work! Amanda

I agree with the general theme of this…
That’s why I have 2 separate twitter IDs – one for my Direct Sales business and one for the church in which I am a priest. Some people do start off by following both but I find they realise pretty quickly that @TheArkNewcastle is a church account and to unfollow that one if they don’t feel in tune with what I tweet on there.
What I tweet on @BridgetArbonne is more business and personal…

So true! One of my dearest and closest friends and I have such different political and religious viewpoints that we’re constantly amazed how we can remain such good friends. We often go to each other’s direct sales events and network together and recommend each other and no one would know how much our world viewpoints differ – or even what they are! It’s the only way to build relationships and your business.

I agree. Just like you shouldn’t talk about politics and religion in the regular corporate work place (ie. an office), you shouldn’t talk about it in social media or during one of your direct sales party/shows. I respect everyone’s religion and political views, even if I disagree with them, but there’s a time and place for it.
