Brands & Friends

This is a simple one; Today I talk about Br-iends (Your friends & their brands). Do you have a friend? Does your friend have a brand? Does she or he own a business? Or is she alone a brand him or herself!

One thing I’ve learnt from life is that once you get friend, you enter that friend’s entire universe as well. If he or she is married, his or her spouse’s state affects your friendship. You can’t have someone as a friend and say ‘I am not interested in your spouse’s life!’ No! His or her spouse completes that person.

In the same way, you can’t say ‘I love you but I’m not concerned about your business!’ You can’t say ‘I love God the son, but I ain’t game with God the Holy Spirit’ He’s 3 in 1. Get involved in your friend’s businesses as well. I don’t mean ‘in stuff that don’t concern you, but life that concerns them that could affect you.

Once in a while, make some noise about their brands. Ask them how their spouses are doing. Even if your brand seems to have already made it, and theirs are still in their infantry, support them.

Share ideas on how to make them better. Recently, a close friend of mine owns a Bakery company. I shared several business ideas with her (for example, opening up social media pages for her…as I co-own a company that helps with social media management and organizational development)

She just kept on nodding her head. Everything I said, she affirmed. She never bothered to interrupt my mouthing, until the Holy Spirit dropped the bomb, ‘Do you expect her to listen acutely and yet you’ve never even bought a cake or loaf from her?’

Ouch! That cut me through. I randomly placed an order and o how good her products are. This is specifically for someone out there.

You’d be a parent seeking to have your child talk to you. You could be a brother seeking to reconcile with your sister. You’d be a friend longing to fix your broken relationship with another friend.

Try having a hand in their service or product. Send them some capital, cheer them on in their ventures or, try out their products or service, just for just. Your reconciliation will come speedily!

Your friend, your child, your sibling will now see that you care enough for the other parts that complete them.
