Support Small Business Owner Friends And Family To Grow

To all my self-employed, small business owner friends and family,  this article is dedicated to us!!!!

Rihanna releases a lip gloss, people buy it.  Michael Jordan puts out new trainers in stores, people flock to these stores to buy them instantly.
Dr. Dre  has new headphones, people buy it. Oprah Winfrey, the richest black woman in the world introduces a new weight loss and diet control program, people jump on board and flow with it.

Beyoncé has a new concert, people queue in line to go spend £250 on a ticket just to watch her performance.

A friend or family member of ours starts a business, and soon we become weary.  We say things like "Not sure this is going to work"  "This business you are starting is not going to go anywhere, I'll give you only 6 months, it will collapse to the ground"  " this your product is too expensive, you will be out of business in no time if you don't reduce your prices"
Those of you, putting out negative comments like these to discourage your friends or family member from starting a business,  why are you so quick to support or grow a business of someone you don't know, who by the way, has plenty money already.

But you can find a million reasons not to support someone you know to grow his or her business in the same way. Remember, those people you are supporting or shouting about their brands on social media everyday as the best brand or of  having a quality product, started  out as a small business owner or entrepreneur too, just like your friend or family member has started today.

Also remember this, when you support a small business to grow, you are helping families feed their kids,  pay mortgages and feed other people who are dependent on them for a daily meal like the homeless or orphans in your community. For all you know, you may be helping these less fortunate people in the community have good job opportunities to do. So they can also have something meaningful to support their families. Do you not know that when you support a family member, a friend or someone you know to start a business you pave way for the beginning of wealth creation, not just for them or you but for many people and generations to come after you all.
All you do for these rich people and celebrities, when you support their businesses is to add a few more zeros to their already fat bank account, which they may not necessarily need you to double or tripple it for them. You just think about that carefully.

So, with all this being said and preached to you, next time you see a friend posting about their business on Facebook or Instagram, give them a quick like, share their page or comment on them and encourage them to grow bigger and better until they attain a successful height.
You don't even have to buy their product or service necessarily but the fact that you are sharing their business page, promoting their ideas  to others for further business investment  opportunities and developments in the future, you help them gain a lot of exposure as against the already famous people who are already have the exposure.

The Chinese people have a proverb that says "Give a man a fish and you will feed him for only a day but teach that same man how to fish, and you will feed him for a lifetime"

A word to the wise is enough.

Let me end it here.

The Paradox of Our Times

*THE PARADOX OF OUR TIMES* Is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers Wider freeways and roads but smaller viewpoints We spend more, but we have less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families More conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less sense More knowledge, but less judgement More experts, but more problems More medicines, but less healthy lives We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and hate too often We have learnt how to make a living, but not how to make a life. We have added years to life, but not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back But have trouble crossing the street to meet or greet the new neighbour. We have conquered outer space, but not our inner hearts We've cleaned up the air in our environment  but destroyed our souls. We claim to love all people but quick to show our prejudice We've higher incomes, but lower morals. We'v...

USA And The Western World is Against Polygamy.. Our Ghana Law is Against LGBT Rights. Will They Allow To Set Up a Polygamy Office In Their Country??

On June 26 2015, the US supreme court struck down all state laws banning same - sex marriages and legalised in all the fifty states across America. I remember that day, pretty well watching CNN seeing then host taking the live feed Anderson Cooper in a jubilant mood. Pictures from the supreme court also painted the same picture. Men kissing men passionately, and women kissing women passionately and locking tongues as well. All this outside the US supreme court for the whole country and the whole world to see that the United States of America, the greatest free country on earth is now fully endorsing gay marriage and approving LGBT rights. The gay pride parade was insane, trust me. A few months later, some European Union countries also joined in and legalised it unanimously. I could recall on that evening I called up one of my Brazilian friends, a woman who had always been a strong advocate and a strong supporter of LGBT rights to pick her mind on what had just happened in the US. ...
