Morning Motivator – What Trust Means To Success

"Being taken for granted can be a compliment. It means that you've become a comfortable, trusted person in another person's life."
-Joyce Brothers

Who do you TRUST? What about them makes for a TRUSTWORTHY partner? When is it time to share the next level of trust in a relationship?

I am starting a new initiative at work. One that requires me to BUILD an intense TRUST factor with partners in the technology community. A program that asks PARTNERS to come together for a collective enhancement of their business through existing client relationships. This has made me EXAMINE the factors of trust.

When determining WHO you can trust… what do you look for? Someone that is OPEN, COMMUNICATIVE, CANDID, SINCERE? How about someone that LISTENS and provides INSIGHT. I believe these to all be good and necessary attributes. Do you know what I look for..? Someone that SHARES – their GOALS, DREAMS, ACTION PLANS and most important… their FEARS. Someone that will share their FEARS with you is someone that can be TRUSTED extensively as you can rest assured that they are OPEN, COMMUNICATIVE, CANDID, and SINCERE. Who are you SHARING your DREAMS and FEARS with? Who is sharing theirs with YOU?

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:

TRUST takes a long time to build and is established from small incremental steps of personal INVESTMENT. You didn't establish someone as your BEST FRIEND in a weekend… it took months or even years.

When you are ready to GROW your business and personal life, you must look at your willingness to INVEST – time, energy, money, thoughts, dreams and fears. By making those relationships deposits into a "TRUST BANK" with someone, you establish the bond that is able to move mountains.

Always remember, businesses are BUILT on relationships and LOVE starts with trust… are you ACTIVELY building both?

Cheers,
Zach
