PARTNERSHIPS

As a small business there is one thing we learnt early.  Its expensive running a business.  Like really expensive :-)  this fact has made it even more evident how important it is to tap into your network of family and friends for as much advice and help as you can get.  

Over the last ten months friends and family can confirm that we have either called asking for all hands on deck for no pay, or asking to borrow a truck to ferry our burger van to and from events, Or borrowing cooler boxes, crates, cutting boards, chaffing dishes for events when we would have forgotten things, not to mention the frantic calls when we are running out of onion and tomato.  Honestly it is own the Goodness of the Lord that has brought us this far.  Surrounding us with people that love and believe in us enough to help push our dream forward.

One of our business partners we have spoken of previously is Michelle.  This lady is phenomenal,  not only does she provide us with baked goods for events we attend, but she also comes along and helps us out prepping burgers chopping onion and lettuce,  whatever is needed she steps up.  LIKE HOW AMAZING IS THAT.

Linda is  the creative director of AMAZIMZIM let me tell you something this chic is the bomb.  She believes in our dream just as much as we do in hers.  Connections like this are so great because during times when you are feeling its just not moving in the right direction people like this remind you of how far you have come and how well you are doing and to keep up the good work.  She organised our first set of tees including running around to get the tees but also got the design fixed so a screen could be made.  And guess what she also always offers herself to help out when we need a hand at a BBZW event.  She is more than a friend she is a sister who we are thankful to have.

Swing on over to Kudzi now she is fams and she is a dietician,  when things are tight and we are short a man she always comes along to help out.  Now what I personally love about her,  she doesn't just say nice things she tells you real things that in all honesty we may overlook as a small business.  Honesty is so necessary for growth and we are so stoked to have people like this in our sphere.  Not to mention that she has come through for us at four of our gigs to lend a helping hand.

So what am I saying here.   I am saying that appreciate the people you have around you, no matter how big or small they may appear.  These people who hope and pray for only good things to come your way will help pave the way to your future success.
