I had several thoughts this morning on what I was going to say. I reflected on a lot last night regarding my business, @beupdateddetroit | Anger, sadness, and disappointment was there because I was thinking about who didn't help me out when I first started, the people who claim to be my friends, but never supported a function or gig, and people who played me about my business. Then I had to check myself, step back, and thank God for one thing: THE PEOPLE WHO DID SUPPORT ME! Here I am crying over spilled milk and I am 6 years deep into my craft and I didn't do this alone. I HAD HELP! Thing was, I was chasing "help" from people who only supported me when it was beneficial, never when it benefitted them only. Who knows how far I would have gone if @rikotayloremade never gave me the lane to all his events since I started. When others flaked on me when going to events as my assistant, how would I have gotten certain ish done if @first_klass_lifestyle @iambouier @tripp_hella @thats_korleone @_.ayanna never volunteered their help without asking for a dime, because they knew I was building. When I was down on myself, @frmscrtch would come out the blue with a tweet telling me to keep going strong and it was always at moments where I was about to snap my camera in half. What if @jdee313 never gave me the call that one day to shoot @iamsodeelishis daughter party and invested in me/my business? Would my creative juices keep flowing if I didn't have @need4lspeed @luck_uncut To bounce my ideas off of? Would I still have a "hood mentality" about business if @iamtjeff didn't impart words of wisdom or @tommeywalkerllc x @vgoodwill x @beebrownpr me to respect my brand/myself so I don't shoot myself in the foot? Especially Brittni because she QUICK to call me and go "Kory, What the hell". Anytime I'm frustrated in life, @mysunshine2u always tells me TRUTH, not what I wanna hear. Hell @kappakasual2 was a REALLY big help in more ways than one! Most importantly, where would I be without family? The money loaned and invested to get started, the constant concern about if I am doing right by business, and etc. I ALWAYS HAD SUPPORT! Thank you! #YEAR6
