When To be Honest

Here’s a great story from my friend Stuart Carter, otherwise known as The 80/20 Guy.

“I saw a business making a big mistake; one that will cost them time and money… should I tell them?”

Difficult question, isn’t it?

When it doesn’t affect me personally, I tend to follow Rule #1 from The Rules of Life, “Keep It Under Your Hat”.

Nobody likes to be preached at. They’re probably not ready to hear what you have to say.

They don’t want the truth. They can’t handle the truth.

Just get on with your life, be the good example, and if they ask how you’re doing it, maybe tell them.

Or maybe not.

(The irony of me telling you this has not been lost on me, by the way)
