Business is very tricky at times. You may be thrown into a position where you have to make hard decisions devoid of sentiments. I was introduced to honey business by my aunt. She gave me my first supply and I was able to sell out. That's how my journey into the honey business started. I have always asked my aunt to give me the contact of the supplier of the honey. She refused insisting that I order through her. I have been ordering from her all along at a given price.
Through some interactions with people, I was able to get the source where she gets the honey from. I found out that she has been exploiting me. She gives me honey almost double the price from the supplier. I ordered from this source at a much cheaper rate. The challenge is, given that she introduced me to the business and I might need her in the future, how do I stop getting supplies from her without damaging the relationship we have? That is both family and business relationships.
