Imagine this:
Youâre building something. A business. A dream. A future.Itâs excitingâbut also exhausting. Late nights. Early mornings. Missed family moments.Youâre not just chasing success. Youâre paying for itâwith your time, your energy, your peace.
Now picture this: A friend reaches out. They need help.Not just adviceâbut your services, your skillset, your time.Do they expect it for free?
You wonderâŚ
đđ˝Â If I offer my work at a preferred rate, is that not still being a good friend?đđ˝Â And if they expect it for freeâare they really supporting me?
Hereâs the deeper question:What does real support actually look likeâfrom both sides?
This isnât about blame or guilt.Itâs about awarenessâa call to see both perspectives clearly.
Support isnât just cheering from the sidelines. Itâs showing up with action behind your words.
â Â Booking services when you canâ Referring others when you canâtâ Leaving reviewsâ Sharing postsâ Asking:Â âHow can I support you today?â
Because hereâs whatâs often unseen:
Entrepreneurship isnât always glamorous. Itâs long hours, pressure behind the smile, and sacrifices that donât make the highlight reel. Every âyesâ to an unpaid favor often means a ânoâ to family, rest, or progress.
đď¸Â And here lies a deeper truth:To become truly successful, an entrepreneur must prioritizeâruthlessly and wisely.Like a hot air balloon that cannot rise with sandbags weighing it down, we too must release what doesnât serve the vision. Not every invitation deserves a âyes.âLetting go of what drains us is the only way we rise.
This message is not about shaming friends who canât buy right now.Itâs about growing together in truth, understanding, and mutual respect.
đ§  Real support is about balance.đ¤ Itâs about making sure both people feel seen and honored.đą Itâs about building something biggerâtogether.
đŹÂ So, I ask you with love and boldness:What does real support look like to you?
đ My book releases later this yearâan honest guide for purpose-led builders and bold dreamers. Stay close. This journey is just beginning.
