The Currency of Trust



There is a new currency in town.  TRUST!

We deal in it every day.  We build our reserve of trust with every word, every action, and every encounter. 

Are we deemed trustworthy?  Do people think of us as a safe person or company?

We trust banks and financial gurus, or not.
We trust our spouse in our relationship, or not.
We trust our spiritual leaders, or not.

Name any entity, any organization or retail establishment and that institution depends greatly on the currency of trust.  They need trust from employees, customers, clients, attendees – they need trust from anyone who chooses to enter into any kind of relationship with them. 

Wouldn’t it be grand if you could buy a whole bucket load of trust at Costco?

Rather, we earn it the old fashioned way – one word, one encounter, one transaction at a time.  People must judge us as trustworthy before they will give us their business, their attention or anything else we seek from them.

Remember this:

Trust is …
  Consistency of actions
    Dependability
      Honesty

Trust is …
  Reliability
    Responsibility
      Follow-through

Trust is …
  Truthfulness
    Integrity
      Respect


Become known as The Trusted One!
