The Irony of “Support Small Business” (Until It’s Inconvenient)

You ever walk into a meeting thinking it could turn into a real opportunity, and five minutes in you realize they only skimmed your LinkedIn and showed up with opinions instead of preparation. You try to stay gracious, but inside you’re thinking, "Are we really doing this right now?" This video is a little lesson in irony and corporate hypocrisy, wrapped in a conversation about “trust” and what makes someone “legit.” If you’ve ever been told you’re not credible unless Amazon says you are, you’re going to feel this. Because a lot of us are out here trying to sell books direct, build something real, and still getting hit with the same line: I only trust Amazon. I only buy from Amazon. So yeah, we’re talking Amazon vs selling direct, why buy books direct from the author matters, and what it’s like being an indie author or small publisher when Amazon damaged books and returns show up as they’ve been through a blender. We’re also getting into the real stuff, like how to qualify speaking and training leads, how to handle a bad prospect meeting, and how to stop giving your work away for free just to “earn” someone’s respect. Stick around, because the point isn’t just books. It’s legitimacy, relationships, and the Ripple Effect you’re building in real life. Drop a comment if you’ve dealt with this, and if you’re here for author business tips, self-publishing author marketing, and support small business energy, you’re in the right place. ____________________________________________ 💧 Ripple with Steve Harper Instagram:   / rippleon   Facebook:   / rippleon   X:   / rippleon   Website: http://www.ripplecentral.com 💧Stay in the loop by being a part of the Ripple mail list: https://ripplecentral.com/subscribe 💧Be a Patron:   / steveharper   💧 Join our ever-growing community of Ripplers in The Pond: https://ripplecentral.com/pond 💧 To inquire about my availability for conference keynotes, corporate training, or performance coaching, please contact info@ripplecentral.com.
