Friends with benefits much? Who runs the entertainment industry? The answer is circles of friends! This week has been such a turn-off and also very educational for me. I''ve been at half of all the corners of entertainment categories from fashion to music to downtown avenue and to films and I want to believe that I''ve come across the many secrets I have! Firstly, I don''t know if it''s because we are really a small country in terms of population and hence we will all inevitably cross paths someday - that''s why everyone knows of everyone''s issues and try to be all up their businesses. I mean I don''t blame you because we lack recreational facilities where one can go chill but that is a story for another day altogether tog.
I want to talk about how some people are so cocky and want to do things that will only benefit them and those near them. I spoke to someone who was convinced that the majority of people that deal with big events or gigs only ensure that their friends get in on the job so they can all reap together. I mean I would also do the same and I''m sure you do the same too. It''s becoming normal now.
The problem comes when you get people in with no experience or work ethic until your secret is out. This could be the end of your career too if you are not careful. No one likes someone that doesn''t deliver. At least if you are going to bring in your whole clique or some of them, ensure it is those friends that can get the job done.
However, there are challenges here too. Renting your friend can also destroy relationships and it is also advisable not to work with one''s friends. There''s just something that happens and so-called true colours come out. They might end up ditching you at the first sight of trouble because there''s a difference between you saying what you will do and how you will act. I also know for sure that relationships have ended this past weekend and I would want to see your friendships fail. Lol. So moral of the story is know whom to do things with.
