I just responded to a blog entry on BNET entitled "Would You Sell to a Racist Bigot?" (Click the link to see the article)

Choosing who you serve, and in turn who you spend time with is by far one of the greatest benefits to Building a Better Workforce and making the Transition2Wealth
We all have those people in our lives that we would just rather avoid. Sometimes they are in our business, sometimes in our personal lives, and sometimes they are in our family. Often times they are nice people with good intentions, but they just rub us the wrong way. Often times it is just a matter of incompatible core values.
No matter how hard we try, we know that when we are around them we have to put on a face. We also know that this "act" is on a timer. The time is specific to each person, but it is very accurate. As the buzzer is about to sound, all of your energy is focused on getting away from this person. It is frustrating, stressful, uncomfortable, and sometimes difficult.
If your client base is full of people like this, your ability to serve is extremely limited. The level and quality of your work is always affected by your attitudes and emotions. Ask yourself "how good of a job can I be doing if my attitude and emotions are screaming at me to get out of here before the buzzer goes off and I snap?"
Ah! The contrary. Luckily, we all have people in our lives that just naturally make you smile. You just can't help it. When you see them you always make time to say hello, even if it is for a few seconds. These people add joy and energy into our lives. It is hard to explain, but impossible to ignore. We just feel better around certain people. When these people are also the people you do business with, the fulfillment in your life goes far beyond what your bank account says.
But consider this. When the person that makes you feel that way is a supplier to your family or your business, you hardly think twice about how much you spend. The thought of going to a competitor is out of the question. They become your trusted advisor, and together you both add value to the people you are meant to serve.
