RE: How far will you support your friends business?
I love your tag malaysianmom. Maybe I should use it too sometime :) . Yes, I agree about friends not supporting your venture. I am an artist and I take portrait commission. Even though I charge far cheaper than most artists, I still don't get support from friends and family. Most of them expect me to do it for FREE and they said in return they will help me to promote. All my sweat and time for free? Well I tell them what if they go to the office every single day and the boss doesn't pay them at the end of the month? How do they feel? Because that exactly how I feel. I need to pay my bills and feed my kids too like them :)
All the best to your event :)
Spot on! I feel you @coloringiship! Friends should support one another instead of taking advantage of each other. How can they ask us to give FREE stuffs when it requires our time and effort to produce a good work? I just dont it with these people too. Which is why if they ever ask me for my favor, I would ask them what do I get in return. Come on! A tit for tat! :)
Exactly. Friend is friend. Business is business. Doesn't mean when I ask for payment that I am not their friend. What kind of thinking is that kan? Some people give you bad attitude and called you stingy when you ask for payment.
