We’ve been conditioned throughout our lives that if one didn’t have something nice to say, they were not to say anything at all. This is not practical advice for entrepreneurs running their own businesses.

But sometimes the answers and the words we use to phrase them with are less than satisfactory and in many cases hurt your business more than you initially think they will.
