SPEAK ON IT!!! ARE WE SUPPOSE TO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER? OR ARE WE SUPPOSE TO THROW EACH OTHER UNDER THE BUS???

Being a business owner and entrepreneur. I have found out that now, all of a sudden a lot of “us” are not really supporting each other in business nor moral support. We may support verbally, saying things like “I would love to work with you.” “You have a lot of great ideas.” “I love what you do!” The list goes on and on. One can get excited and feel they are on their way! Making lead way in their career and business building and growing. Of course don't get me wrong, I clearly inner stand that not everyone that walks in your store will buy your merchandise. Of course there are lookey lous and those who do price comparisons and look for the better deals. That makes sense! Does it not? You are suppose to shop around! However, I personally feel that if there is someone that can assist you, not pay your way. But assist you in getting your foot in the door. Or assisting you to get business is what one should do. One should make sure that it is totally business, if you are friends. You keep that in mind and DO NOT cross the lines of the friendship you have established. You be sure to keep things totally professional. We all should know that. Keep your personal feelings at the door. But if I can, or you can give a leg up, unlock a door. Then one should do that! If there were no organizations that fed the homeless, clothe the homeless. Rehabilitation centers to help those with drug addictions. If there were no counselors to counsel, teachers, doctors. We are here to serve and give of ourselves. That is why we are here on earth.

No one to lie, get your hopes up high. To make promises that one can't keep. To say things to get you excited. Make one believe, “Oh yeah, I am here to help you and we indeed can do business together.” Give a company, person, business to prove themselves. We all need breaks!

I have seen over the past month or longer. I mean really paying attention that there are so many that are stepping on others to get fame. Stepping on others to make what they do and who they are look minimal. Not good, there is enough money to make for all. Wal-mart does not have any beef or angst with Target. Ralph's, Kroegers don't have issues with one another. They all sell food! So why are we throwing mud and slinging dirt on what they do. Actors, rappers, singers, company and business owners are all here to make money and build their careers and business. There is not a business that sells clothing, hats, food, shoes. One phone company, one cell phone company, one type of music and one actor that starts in every movie! We, or some of us are so petty, jealous, “haters” even that all of these crabs in the bottom of the barrel trying to climb to the top and the other crabs pulling them down trying to race to the top and keep the others from making their way to the top.

Is it necessary to be cruel and say hateful things of others? To promise others a helping hand. Not giving others that helping hand is not serving, doing what we can so that we all eat. There again, is not one job for all of us in the entire world to work at. There are so many opportunities here in the world. So many advancements we can take advantage of. That is the way of the world. I am not saying do not work for it. Do not put your heart and soul into what you want. Take the good with the bad and stay positive even in the pool of negative. But to put someone down, to not assist when you can. To not help when you can. To not serve when you can is an insult to your character as a human being. All of the crisis that are going on in the world, corporations, companies and people come to the rescue and help. And yet as I seen people come out of the woodwork's to help those in need. I see others throwing mud, screaming insults, being cruel and saying hurtful and hateful things. When all you need to do is just help and keep your words to yourself. Negative words to themselves!

The simple pettiness of having someone/business work with you for you to make money. To grow your business. We should offer a helping hand. Why do we feel, or some of us feel the need to throw others under the bus and disregard what they want in life and what they are trying to do. Better themselves. Yes! Yes! And yes again! There are better singers, directors, grocery stores, clothing stores, computers and so on. However, I say again everyone wants to be successful! That does not necessarily mean fame. One would like to be a success as a business owner, a weight trainer. Clothing designer. Whatever they set their hands to do they want to prosper. If it is as simple as being a DJ, hair stylist. These people don't have to be in the world of Hollywood and working with celebrities. It just means that one is inundated with clients or business. Or being valued upon for their services.

If I give a party and can use a local DJ, he comes highly recommended then I should use their services. If they do a great job recommend them for another job. Graphic designers, photographers. Why pursue? Why push? Why give a client, business owner that needs help, a push some assistance in being successful or getting their foot in the door. To hate, throw stones and disregard someone for what they do and wanting to build their business is indeed a no no!

I have personally been around others who were growing their business. Just starting out, put in work, have meetings, discuss their services and how they can be beneficial to their potential client. And nothing, no phone calls, no text, no emails. Just left them hanging like a dangling participle in the atmosphere. Those who have gotten hired, written up proposals because the client or company was excited in working with them. And nothing! No business. “Oh I can help you!” And no help! Again we are to help, give a lending hand to others to assist them to get what they need and want in life. No one gets anywhere alone in this world. No one! Every successful person has had a staff, a recommendation, a team, advice, wisdom and knowledge. We all need that! So again my question is, why do we have people that make promises and don't keep them? Why do we have haters? To hate and be envious of what? Why do people continue to throw others under the bus for what they want to accomplish? Why is there all these crabs in a barrel when we can all work and help each other get to the next level and we don't do it?

Support, a helping hand, a word of encouragement, keeping ones word, recommending our services. Not always wanting something for nothing. We all are trying to make it! We all are trying to eat and pay our bills. This comes with help! This comes with support. No I am not saying that everyday, all the time our family or network has to go out and promote us our business and what we do. But we should be there for each other.

Stop hating, stop promising, stop being negative! Stop leading people on! Show your real and true character. If you don't want to keep people in your lives, then don't keep your word. Because it shows your real character!
