P1971 run your business how ever you see best.

Whilst 'honesty is the best policy' and 'speaking our minds' are noble traits that I am sure most of us ascribe to, we all need to be accountable for our actions as well. A racist is offensive by the fact they do unfortunately speak their minds. Their honesty does not excuse their behaviour.

In my line of work, I respect some of my competition. I dislike a few of them as well - and some of the individuals in those organisations I detest. They are sharks - dishonest, regularly delivering a poor service.

What ever I think about my competitors I don't share these thoughts with my clients or prospects. We win business by what we can deliver not by what I may or may not feel about my competition. This is because customers choose to buy from whoever they feel offers the best service not by whose is the least worst. In short, my advice is to focus on how good you are, not what you think honestly or otherwise about your competition.
