If you are
going to be successful on the internet or
any home business as far as that is
concerned, then, integrity must come before
your financial success. Many people are
financially successful on the internet, but
some have forgotten the meaning of true
success.
As Jim Rohn (One of the all time favorite
motivational speakers) says, quite often, it
is far more important of who you are
becoming, then, what you are earning. Jim
even goes so far as to say that you should
work toward becoming a millionaire, not for
the money, but because of who you will
become in achieving the goal.
The stress is on becoming a better person. A
person who has integrity. Integrity is being
able to be counted on, to be depended upon,
if you say that you are going to provide a
service or product for a certain amount of
money, then you do it. You are looking out
for your customers, as well as yourself.
In most cases your reputation will precede
you! You may think that no one is
discovering your flawed business manners,
but actually, the word is spreading and on
the net, it spreads quite rapidly.
One of the universal laws of success is that
financial success follows hard work with
honesty. In other words, "help enough people
get what they want, and you will find that
you receive what you want." However, if you
are just looking out for you, you are only
hurting yourself in the long run. Wouldn't
the internet be so much better if we were
all watching out for each other?
One important lesson I have learned when it
comes to making a sale is that people buy
from those whom they trust. If they trust
you, they will buy from you. If your
integrity is guiding you as you make your
presentation to others it will come across
to your potential buyer. You are more likely
to make that sell with your integrity
guiding you, then, any other aspect in your
presentation.
It does not matter how well you
intellectually present your service or
product, if they detect flaws in your
character you might as well close up your
brief case and go home.
Perhaps, even of a greater reward for being
a man or women of integrity is that you will
sleep better at night just knowing you did
your best to sincerely help others achieve
their dreams. What can be more rewarding,
then, to help others reach their goals?
If you have children, perhaps, that would be
the ultimate reason to permit integrity to
lead you. Your children will have someone
that they can be proud of and more
importantly someone whom they can trust!
