In the last episode about business and politics, my personal recommendation was to keep them separate unless of course. your business is in politics. This time I am going to tackle the subject of being politically aware. There are two main questions to this point. The first is should even pay attention to politics, and second, how involved should you be.  I think on this post I will only tackle the first question, and only touch on the second one. 

To start off I did an informal poll in an entrepreneurship group on Facebook. The poll was asking if you should be aware, with 0 being not at all, and 10 being so aware and involved you are staffing a politician campaign. With the middle ground being that you know the issues and how they affect your business.

I had 42 poll respondents and they overwhelmingly voted for the middle ground at option 5, that is you need to be politically aware enough to know how politics affects your business.
