“Never do business with family members or close friends. It’s better to look big in their eyes than small. My advice.”
Ernestine Grigsby opined:
“Money will never leave my hand unless I am there to see the progress happening myself. If I’m able to send thousands of dollars, I’m able to purchase a ticket and fly there to make it happen.”
Aaronitas Kokolie stated:
“That’s the reason why some people go; they can turn their backs because people are really wicked.”
Gonzalo Buonaparte added:
“Bro, just because it’s blood-related doesn’t mean they are your family.”
Bilizie stated:
“It’s painful, but next time don’t send anybody money. Hustle there, take two holidays, build it yourself, and finish it the following year. Please take this idea, you will know where the money goes and how much you spend.”
