For those of you who didn't know, I sell ads for a small town phone book. It's not really glamorous but it does leave me with lots of happy customers and even more funny stories. Sometimes you can't help but laugh when a customer tells you their views on life, religion, or politics (especially politics).
Just last week I sold an ad to a man who was proud to tell me that God gave him instructions to advertise on the front cover of my book. This week I had a woman tell me that our President was going to tax her over $2,800 a month because she could not provide insurance for her employees so she was going to sell her business, buy a gun and live off the land. You just never know what you're going to hear when you walk into someone's office.
I am happy to report that today I met with a nice woman who said, "I have a political opinion but I don't have to share it with you. I trust you to do your research and pick a candidate that best matches your beliefs". I really liked their approach. Sure, I can tell you my views and talk until we're both blue in the face but I trust you to make a good decision. Do your homework. Who shares your values, morals, goals and passions? Pick a good match and don't let people bully you into changing your mind. Choose wisely because the worst decision is not making one at all.
