Who is Paying For Your Ignorance?

Ignorance is bliss... sometimes yes, but most of the time no. If you are a work at home mom, who is seriously trying to build a business and succeed, you can't afford to play the ignorance card.

You need to be a responsible business owner who knows the rules and regulations that go with running a business, specifically YOUR business. More importantly, you need to adhere to them. If you don't, not only do you pay the price, but so do others, which is not fair to them.




It is one thing if you want to disrupt and put a bad mark on your own business, but to put other individual's and other companies out, that is just plain selfish and unprofessional.

I cannot tell you how many times over the years that people have submitted content or ads to us in our free promotion areas, only to come back and demand that they be removed or changed because 1.) they didn't do the research on what they could and couldn't do online or 2.) because of not perusing what they submitted and finding errors in their email address or
url.  Many are downright rude in their attitude and insisting that we have to remove or change something immediately that they submitted to us.

 

It's one thing to humbly approach a company and tell them that you made a mistake, asking if they could remedy the error for you.  It is another thing to be flippant and expect that the company take care of your mistake.  This in turn not only gives you and your company a bad name, but also causes the company that has offered you these free services, to spend their time, and money to change something that you decided to be ignorant about.

There are also those who don't read the rules for message boards on what is and isn't allowed, and they proceed to do what they want.  Again, the ignorance causing you to look bad and creating extra work and money spent for the site owners to remove posts and/or memberships.

So, make sure that you step up to the plate with your responsibility to understand what it is you can do in regards to your business, as your ignorance will eventually shine a bad light on your business.
