How To Make And Keep Friends Within Your Industry
On Hiring Friends in Your Industry and Vice Versa
“For me, I think it’s best to separate the two. I believe in keeping healthy boundaries in my friendships and if we’re friends, we’re friends. I’ve learned the hard way how the lines can be blurred if there are too many conversations being had about business advice in friendships. My friends don’t hire me, but as their friend, at times I may give out my advice here and there, but never on a consistent basis. For example, if my friend needed quick advice on her content, then I would absolutely help her with caption guidelines. At the end of the day, communication is huge and honoring each other’s businesses is huge as well. That’s the best way to keep everything healthy and orderly.”
