Over familiarity and business are two words that should even be found together, when we get too familiar with either family, friends, and even clients most times it doesn’t always turn out well.
Over familiarity with family and friends in business triggers them to always seek for free or almost free services from our business and when you decide to set your boundaries they see it as you being inconsiderate so it’s better this boundaries are set from the beginning because once you start off with offering free services it’s very likely impossible to take a turn later on.
When its time for business some level of seriousness should be maintained, those who truly want to patronize us will still go ahead.
