They say “support small business,” but let’s be honest — some folks only mean it until it’s time to pay.
Support, Don’t Shortchange is the unfiltered, laugh-out-loud, reality-check guide every entrepreneur wishes their family and friends would read before asking for “the hook-up.”
This isn’t another polite “please respect my hustle” book — it’s a bold, witty breakdown of the unspoken rules between entrepreneurs and the people who love them. You’ll laugh, nod, and probably recognize a few familiar faces (and habits).
Inside, readers learn:
- Why “let me know if I owe you anything” is not a payment plan
- The real cost of “free promo” and “family discounts”
- How pretending to be tech-illiterate to avoid invoices makes you that customer
- Why entrepreneurs aren’t being rude — they’re protecting their sanity
- How to show support even when you can’t spend a dime
With ten punchy chapters, a bonus essay on the dreaded “your little business” comment, and real-world action steps, this guide bridges the gap between entrepreneurs and the people who say they support them.
It’s part comedy, part tough love, and 100% truth.
If you’ve ever said, “I didn’t know,” — now you will.
If you’ve ever thought, “I was just trying to help,” — this will show you how to really do that.
And if you’re an entrepreneur? It’s your permission slip to set boundaries without guilt.
👉 Perfect for:
- Entrepreneurs tired of unpaid “favors”
- Family and friends who genuinely want to understand
- Creative professionals and service providers who need words for what they feel
Because supporting someone’s dream shouldn’t come with excuses, delays, or discounts.
