A man was selling vegetables
in a parking lot.
He had a sign
saying
he needed the money
to pay his bills.
I didn’t need vegetables
but I bought a bunch
of green onions.
Why?
Because he needed help
and also because
he was a fellow
small business owner.
I can’t promote
my products
by saying
they’re produced
by a small business
if I don’t,
myself,
support small businesses.
Customers are savvy
and the internet
is all revealing.
They’ll figure it out.
Plus I will know.
I’ll know
I’m not being genuine
and I don’t believe
the sh*t I’m pitching.
Support fellow
small business owners.
