The Hidden Cost of Doing Business with Family and Friends
Sometimes it's better to do business with strangers than with family and friends.
Strangers will happily pay for your services because they understand the value of what you offer. Family and friends, on the other hand, often expect discounts. You start feeling as though you owe them something simply because you know them.
But if we're truly family, why does that principle only work one way?
Why am I expected to reduce my price for you? Why not support my business by paying the same rate everyone else pays? Not moreโjust the same.
Then there's another reality.
You can sell something to a stranger, and even if it develops a fault later on, you rarely hear from them again. But sell the same item to a friend or relative, and if anything goes wrong after the sale, the first thought that crosses their mind is often, "He cheated me."
Never mind that it worked perfectly while it was in your possession. Never mind that you were honest about its condition. Suspicion often arrives before understanding.
So when I hear people say, "I'd rather do business with strangers than with family and friends," I understand exactly where they're coming from.
