Friends and Family

If I had friends or family opening a business I would support them. If it was a restaurant, it would be my restaurant. If friends opened a bakery it would be my go to bakery. The same could be said if someone opened a garden centre ( yes my family have a garden centre) a plumber, eletrician or even a mechanic. They would all be my go to people.

However there a few careers that make it difficult to deal with people you know. Chances are you may not go to confession if you grew up with the priest in question. You may not go to the shrink who is a member of your family. Sadly also people find it difficult to go the mortgage broker who is a member of the family or a close friend ( some cases but not all).

You see in each of those three cases you are getting really personal details about the other person. Even though the information does not go anywhere other than me and the bank, I do understand. There are no hard feelings and if a close friend or relative doesn’t want me to look at their personal financial details and their credit report I will gladly refer them to a colleague that I know and trust.

Today I am thankful for my Friday calls with my family and how close we have become over the past year, my daughter who loves to bake and has an order to make cupcakes for a client, the gentle reminder that I forgot to change my voice mail.
