For instance, if you hang around and do business with good honest hard working people, you will be perceived as someone with a lot of integrity and you will be seen as a good honest hard working person yourself. On the other hand, if you hang around scammers and thieves and you do business with scammers and thieves, you will be perceived as....a scammer and a thief. In that instance, you will not be seen as a person with integrity. To be honest, I don't think my friend understands this concept. Or maybe he does understand this concept but just chooses to not acknowledge it for some reason.
So I just wanted to ask some of you to explain what integrity means to you. Specifically, how important is it that you be perceived as someone with integrity and how important is it that those you do business with have integrity? |
When I started in this business integrity did exist, I did business with people I never met and still doing business with the same people tens years later and still have not met some of them face to face. A few phone calls but for the most part e-mails.... Scammers yeah, I would say this industry is ripe with them now.... Very few with true integrity left in this business.... Excellent post Dean
