The other night I had a compelling conversation with a new friend about doubt not having a place in any type of relationship. If trust is the solid foundation of what we build in either a personal or business relationship, then doubt destroys the very core of its existence. Unfortunately, in a challenged economy as we are facing, the lines of trust are being trampled by desperation. It must be stopped. It must not be tolerated. Integrity must be defended at all costs for the protection of our businesses and the fabric of our daily lives as solid individuals.
What I wonder is why certain people are risking solid relationships on a quick fix or temporary solution? If I’ve been your well paid customer for a certain established amount of time, why jeopardize it? Is it worth the long term loss?
In that respect, it follows through on the personal value and integrity of an individual. Do you create doubt or insecurity in your personal relationships? If so, why? What is the aim or goal behind it? Are you aware of how the personal aspects of your character override into your professional life? Well, it does like it or not. What determines whether an individual works with you or not is also based on what they perceive about your person and if they like you or not. People do business with people they like sometimes regardless of their skills. People do repeat and refer business with people they trust, depending on how you have treated them in the past.
