Yesterday we talked about the Dale Carnegie classic How To Win Friends And Influence Others and the value of partnership and progress…
Another thing mentioned in the book that is more true in today’s world than ever before is the value of transparency.
When we are open and honest about our story, we immediately humanize ourselves and become much more relatable to those closest to us and outsiders as well.
Our transparency shows our vulnerability, but most importantly, by simply being upfront and forthright, we EARN their TRUST.
Trust is not easy to come by, but when we do get it, that is when people officially buy into us as people…
When I wrote The F*IT List – Life Lessons From A Human Crash Test Dummy, I put my story out there (but ass naked) for anybody to consume… I may be wrong, but I feel like many people who have read it are many of the same people who religiously follow the Daily Hustle, use the Foot Reflexology Board and support the Let Them Play Foundation…
When we earn the trust of others through our transparency, we also earn new members of our tribe that typically will stick with us as we continue to charge new adventures in life…
Bottom line: Transparency creates trust and so long as we continue to let our actions reflect our commitment, that trust will eventually create an unlimited currency that lasts a lifetime.
