The Nr. 1 Trait to set you apart.

Hey Reader,

There is one word that keeps popping up right now.

Integrity.

With all the AI tools coming out, with social media and online businesses, there are people that just see the quick money. They do anything to put people to buy.

The last few years, I’m in a chat that we have entered the attention economy.
I’m expecting that the next few years we will be in the trust economy.

You have to be trustworthy. Don’t use trust for your benefit!

I believe integrity will be a major part of this. Integrity has been important in the past, too, but there is an important difference.

Key: You could do something in one city and then move.

The word of your actions could travel a lot slower.

Today, with social media and the internet, word travels at the speed of light.

The most important thing going forward is to protect your trustworthiness.

This way, your reputation stays high.

The best way is to keep your integrity high.

When you take a stand for something (Values) then speak about them (Words) and then actually do what you said (Action), you are showing your integrity.

This will only build up your reputation.

We often talk about business as a game. There is a big difference in trying to game the game or playing to stay part of the game long-term.

Too many people mix those two.

You can’t win in business alone. So better play the game to the point that others enjoy playing with you.

If you don’t, you’ll be losing.

High integrity will be a huge benefit for you going forward—even when it doesn’t feel like that yet.

Keep moving forward, brother!

  • Should you be authentic?

    Hey Reader, No matter where I look right now, people tell me to be more authentic. Is that really helpful though? I don’t think so. Let me explain why.
