Business and Religion - A situation here...
12/29/2009 at 11:47 AM
I just want others input.
I run my own business and though I am not a die-hard church-goer, I have my own faith and beliefs. Potential clients (They are hiring me), have on several occasions inferred that they would like to talk with me on a personal level about their own faith. I have no interest.
Personally, I feel religion and business don't mix at all, but they are somewhat insistent. I mentioned several times that I have my own agenda, but they keep on me.
I have a difficult time with this, as I don't want to offend them as potential clients (and good ones at that), but the personal invitations to talk it over are getting me stressed.
Our 2 faiths could not be more different and I am happy with what my beliefs are.
How does one draw the line between business dealings and religion without offending a good client?
