‘Consistency of beliefs, words, and actions is the key to your reputation and success.’- Dave Gordon

Who are you? What do you stand for? Are you living your values? If you are not living your values, you are not helping yourself.

Trust happens when you live your values. Remember, people are watching you. If you want them to trust you, you must do what you say you are going to do. If you can’t, then don’t say it.

If you want people to trust you, you must live your values. Your values must represent who you are.

Why is that? Because you can’t separate yourself from your values. Your values are who you are. If you do not stand for something, you stand for nothing.

If you do not stand for something, you won’t be able to achieve something.

Something comes from something. Nothing comes from nothing. If you want something to happen, you must do something.

You can do it. Try it and see what happens.

‘We must do the thing we must before the thing we may. We are unfit for any trust till we can and obey.’- George MacDonald

Without trust, you are not going anywhere. Trust is everything. When it comes to dealing with the world around us, trust is everything.

When it comes to dealing with the unknown, trust is everything.

And when it comes to you, if people don’t trust you, you are going to find it really difficult to succeed alone.No one succeeds alone. Trust makes success possible.

When it comes to other people, don’t worry about them. Instead of worrying about other people, focus on living your values.

People will trust you when you are living your values. Why is that? Because you are not just an ordinary talker; you are a doer. You do what you say you are going to do. When you say you are going to do something, small or big, you actually do it.

That is how you build trust. Words don’t build trust, actions do. You can talk all you like. If you do not support your talk with actions, no one is going to trust you.

Trust is life. To have it, you have got to work really hard for it. Do not say what you are not going to do. If you can’t do something, then don’t even talk about it.

Do not promise what you can’t give. We are human beings. If you do not have something, don’t tell people you have it.

If you can’t do what you say you are going to do, let them know before it is too late.

When you can’t do it, tell them why you can’t. Do not just tell them what they want to hear. If you want them to trust you, you must tell them what they need to hear from you, not from your secretary.

People don’t deal with your secretary. They deal with you. If you want people to trust you, you must first trust yourself.

If not, you ‘are unfit for any trust.’
