Support Small/Independent Business!
December 27, 2011
Yes, something ultimately important has arisen. It occurred to me that we need a reminder to take care of our people. With all the sales going on, it can be so tempting to click on a link you weren't thinking about clicking, go into a store you weren't going in before the coupon came, and other crazy stuff like that. But while Starbuck's, Amazon, Walmart, Bath & Body Works, Lowe's and other big names will build another location somewhere--often, your MK consultant, Scentsy rep, OG distributor, hairstylist, babysitter, handyman, and gardener can't. These are people you know, with families, bills, and they've CHOSEN professions where they care for people and give that personal, catered to you touch.
Do y'all know how hard it is to deal with people for a living? To feed your kids and keep your home, pay your car note and such off the successes you have with people exclusively? Seriously, people are fickle and come with bad attitudes, ridiculous requests, and always want something for nothing. I'm telling you to feel bad and start treating us--yes us--with some real love. Imagine what kind of effect you'll have if you actually refer people to your people? We don't get bonuses or salary; it's straight ingenuity with blood, sweat and tears--and smiles. I'm just saying, buy my books cause I wrote em (my neck is moving), preferably from me cause I need my money now--and all of it (commission is good but cash is better and I take credit cards BOOM), order fragrance warmers from somebody you KNOW cause you gotta have home fragrance, order cupcakes/cakes/pies from the lady you KNOW, click on some links on somebody's personal website so they can get those coins, and call the handyman you know through your cousin or something. You hear me. And you know I'm right. Stay out of the stores until after you support small business. For real. You will make a way to get that money when you want something, so want it from me or let me refer you to somebody. I do that for my people. As you were...From the Mind of:
