As small business owner you take one of the biggest and bravests steps of your life , you find your passion and produce your product(s) while putting in the love , the detail and the dedication.
You fight daily to better you products(s) , the trial and error is endless and tiring but in your heart it is so worth it because you took those steps and whatever you have made is your baby which your nuture and protect.
You have people who are in your corner and will support you consantly and you have people in your corner who criticise you and have a go at you just or he sake of it ....because they think its lekker.
To those of you who crit and who take your own sweet time to make payments to these small business owners , have you actually sat down and done the math..how much does the raw materials cost , electricity , staff if they have , fuel to go and purchase and maybe even deliver the products to you BUT most importantly the love , the patience and the valuable time that they use to give you the best they can.
Just remember these people have families and loved ones that they support with the income that their Small business brings in.
So just be a nice person
If you want to be nasty about their product because you just feel like being the peanut gallery...Rather be quiet
If you take forever to pay and you keep needing to be reminded because you don't have the decency to let hem know what is going on...Thats just wrong on every single level of being wrong because As true as Bob i bet you that you wouldn't be smiling if someone did it to you.
Their kids also want the new sneakers or want or play a sport or take ballet class but sometimes thry have to say no because they re waitong on payment....I'm sure you wouldn't want o do it o our kids...so what makes a small business owner any different to you?
Please be mindful ith your words and your actions because the end of he day it affects he next person.
