As a furniture maker, I built kitchen cabinets for my brother’s new apartment at cost, expecting nothing in return. During his housewarming party, his wife kept probing me about the real price, and when I finally told her, she stayed silent for the rest of the evening. A month later, I was the one left speechless when I discovered that she had been promoting my business everywhere, recommending my services to everyone, and even creating a website featuring my details. Before I knew it, orders started pouring in, all thanks to the unexpected support of the very woman whose silence I had misunderstood.
