Even though we can shout about supporting black businesses. My black clients have been the worst I've ever got they don't respect how you decide to do your business, always trying to get it cheaper. They don't pay on time or they don't pay at all. Don't support me if you're coming with hidden agendas. I am a business man. Don't boast about how much money you have and how connected you are but still want cheaper offers even though the quote was clear and you didn't ask for one written in a language you would understand because I can do that for you as well.
If you can't afford it, move on. I'm not defined by being a black business man, I am a business man, deserving PROFIT. I am in business for profit. I shouldn't be begging for it. And before I'm classified as black, I am human. Let's not be hypocritical. Don't say you support black businesses because you want to do as you please and pay as you wish. No! I don't run an orphanage. I am not in social services. I am in this for money. Pay me what I ask or don't come to me.
Ladies and gentlemen black, white or pink, quote your price and let people go if they can't afford it.
Build your business so big that you can boldly say, "sorry but I don't want your money neither do I trust you as a client."
Business is about maximizing PROFIT not reducing it to suite the clients pockets. I'm in it for money not charity. You need to pay me what I quote you!!! Everything I'm asking for or move on. I know my standards.
As a business person Know your standards. Don't allow people to exploit you. You'll never run a high capitalized business always settling for cheaper deals just to get by. The most valuable asset you have right now as a business person is time, we work on weekends for a reason.
In business, if it makes you more money, it makes sense. Don't call me to negotiate a lower price than the ideal I quoted you. The only relationship to keep is a mutual relationship of trust between client and business owner. Otherwise it's a waste of time. You need to know your worth.
