A Party of Sorts

On Saturday I went to a Tupperware party of a lady I know from church.  She asked for support as she was starting her Tupperware business and this was her introductory party.  I had at one time been a manager with Tupperware and felt it important to help her out by attending.  I also found out she had quit her part time job so she can devote time to working her Tupperware business.

I only mention this as I have found many people do not seem to support their friends and family in such businesses. Many will hear words like I am working out of my home, or network marketing, or be asked to come see a new product and will suddenly be busy whenever this person calls.

I want to help the mom and pop businesses in my community survive and I try to shop with smaller businesses when I can. I have a local man come take care of spraying for spiders and bugs each year and he is great. He guarantees his work and does a quality job. He is also very personable and fun to talk to when he comes for his annual visit. It is getting so hard to find the smaller businessman as the big box stores are taking over. I don’t want to go with the flow I want to try and disrupt the flow just a little. I know I am only one person, but it must start somewhere.

I am choosing to support family, friends and small businesses whenever I can. I had a fun time at the Tupperware party and I did purchase a few items.  I felt happy to get something I could use and help a friend start her business.  Now I know if I need any more products of this kind where to get them.
