Is Sharing Your Opinion On Politics Bad For Business?
I have questions ...
I’ve been walking around with a sense an anger.
Yesterday, another 3 million documents of The Epstein files were released. These documents have been very disturbing to me, as it seems evident that our world is run by a small group of creepy rich people who rape little girls without consequence.
Trump raped little girls. Elon Musk clearly went to “parties” on the island. RFK, Howard Lutnick, JayZ, Pusha T, Reid Hoffman, Bill Gates, Jason Calacanis, Peter Atiia (wtf?), Brian Johnson (also wtf?) and countless others we’re all in Jeffrey Epstein’s circle.
We have seen sworn written testimony that President Trump would molest little girls and touch their vaginas to decide if they were “tight enough.” (I can’t believe I just wrote that sentence). What’s even grosser is that he was doing this alongside his own children.
We have also learned that molesting little girls does not disqualify you from being The President Of The United States.
I want to share my thoughts, but is it worth it? Does it even matter? Will it make a difference?
I Don’t Think Ranting On Social Media Is A Good Use Of My Time
The algorithm wants you to be angry. That’s when it thrives. It’s a monster that feeds off fear, anger, rage, and FOMO. It has an endless appetite and the bigger it gets the more it gets fed.
Yesterday, I thought of posting a video on my Instagram account to express my outrage. Ultimately, I decided against it.
Rage posting is cheap dopamine. It doesn’t add any value to the world and it doesn’t fill the world with ease, joy and glory.
In most cases, expressing anger in this way is counter productive, because it only makes you more angry. There’s no good outcome, there’s no value added, and there’s definitely no release of anger on my part.
There is only more anger. The algorithm eats. Nom nom nom nom nom.
Keep Your Eye On The Prize
When people subscribe to The Academy, I ask them to go through an Ultimate Outcome exercise. When you create your ultimate outcome, you create your north star. This way, every choice you make is viewed through the lens of “does this get me closer to or further away from my ultimate outcome?”
If it gets you closer, then you do it. If it gets your further away, then you don’t.
It’s that simple.
My ultimate outcome is to build my personal holdings company to $10M a year. In order to do that, I need to stay focused on building my agencies, serving my customers, generating great results, and continuing to scale out my sales team.
Nothing else matters. At least not when it pertains to creating content on social media.
In reality, if you want to make a difference, ranting on social media is a very ineffective way to do it. I have decided to delete Amazon Prime, ChatGPT, YouTube premium, Netflix, Disney+, and Comcast as those are all companies that support Trump and his little girl raping family and autocratic network of pedophiles, rapists, and sex traffickers.
So I have to focus. I will focus on serving the world. I will focus on helping healthcare companies generate leads. I will focus on building amazing AI products for my customers, and I will focus on spreading love and joy through breathwork with Juliana.
I will raise my son into a man that respects women and cherishes their feminine energy. I will raise my daughter into a woman who knows how to stick up for herself and knows that her big brother and her dad will be there to defend her.
That’s the best way I can combat this filth.
So, Should You Post Your Political Opinions On Social Media?
I don’t know.
I see examples of people doing it and using the attention to advance their agenda. But most of all, the people who I admire seem to be in a place where they can accept the world around them for what it is, while simultaneously remaining focused enough to be the change that they wish to see in the world.
I know that participating in the shit throwing doesn’t make me feel good, and it definitely doesn’t help in any way. It only makes me feel worse about myself and about the world around me.
In truth, I’m feeling anxious about even publishing this issue of the newsletter, but this is weighing on me so much and I need to put it out there.
For today, I will decide to stay focused on advancing my cause, and serving the people who I want to serve.
The rest, I hope will work itself out.
Love you guys. Talk to you tomorrow.
Tim
This is so disappointing to read. I've been following Tim for a long time and even paid for a membership to his various courses. I don't want to know or hear about his politics or anyone's politics. That's the problem. This country has become too political. It was never like this when I was growing up. On one hand Tim says he doesn't want to share his politics for business reasons but he'll talk politics here forgetting that part of his business are people following him and paying him for his business courses. If any Christian or conservative is following Tim or paying for his courses, he has in effect offended you and he doesn't care. If you believe the stats, we are a 50/50 country. That means right out of the gate half the country strongly disagrees with you on just about everything. Why then would you purposely go out of your way to offend half your audience? It makes no sense to me. As a Christian conservative, I wish I had the luxury. Just by leaving this comment I'll be ostracized, called this or that, and effectively told to take a hike. Yet, people on the left can spew their political opinions and offend half their audience without consequence. Up until now, I really thought Tim was a different guy. I knew he was a very progressive guy, but I admired that he NEVER talked politics. It was refreshing. It was just great business content. Now with this post Tim has effectively told me to take a hike. Again, I ask, why? Why does everyone insist on talking politics and telling half their audience to take a hike? It boggles my mind.
I will also add that literally everything Tim has spewed about Trump is false. These are accusations that came from anonymous and unverified tips. There have been no investigations on any of this because there is nothing behind the accusations. Do you really think the President of the United States did these things? Seriously? At the very least, please dive deep into the facts. Don't just swallow what the media and left are telling you. Spend time doing your own research. Dig deep. Investigate if it bothers you so much. But literally everything you've spewed here is simply not fact. You also left out all the people on the left that have been highlighted in the latest document dump such as Bill Gates, George Clooney, and Bill Clinton. You know what my reaction was? "Hmmm. Interesting. Let's see how all this unfolds over time." In other words, I didn't boast or freak out. I actually wait for the facts to unfold and see where things land. And one thing I never do is spew my anger, opinions, etc. to my clients, friends, or even family. At the end of the day, my opinion and thoughts don't matter. The world will do what the world does. I'm called to love Him and love others - period. To that end, I strive not to offend others. I strive not to spew my opinions on political matters that I know will just anger others and create unnecessary division.
Now that Tim has taken a political stand, I can't follow him or trust him anymore because I know he'd clearly be against me because I disagree with him. Such is the state of the country today. It's sad. And it's so unnecessary. I just ask that everyone keep their mouth shut about politics and just stick with what product or service you sell!
Thank you for this, Tim. I’m so glad to read an honest evaluation of this crazy moment, and it gives me hope to see an example of balanced, strong, caring, positive male energy. I wish more men would share stuff like this and call out the sickness that seems pervasive among so many rich and powerful men. There needs to be ethics and humanity and accountability, and this is how we get there, one person at a time forming a collective.
