Don’t let people’s compliments go to your head, and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart. The degree to which you do either of these things is the degree to which you’ll be ruled by what other people think of you.
For ecommerce, the most important thing is trust.
Speak only that which will bring you honor.
You are what your record says you are.
Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing.
Lead such a life, that, when you die, the people may mourn you, and while you are alive they long for your company.
It’s important to build a personal brand because it’s the only thing you’re going to have. Your reputation online, and in the new business world is pretty much the game, so you’ve got to be a good person. You can’t hide anything, and more importantly, you’ve got to be out there at some level.
All you have in life is your honor, man, your own self-image, your own self-respect. If you lose that, or if you give it away or if you sell it, then you don’t have it anymore.
Without integrity, no company can have positive word of mouth.
Seek respect, not attention. It lasts longer.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
Honor may not win power, but it wins respect. And respect earns power.
It’s not what you know or who you know, but who knows you.
No one gets remembered for the things they didn’t do.
Trust, honesty, humility, transparency and accountability are the building blocks of a positive reputation. Trust is the foundation of any relationship.
How they treat you defines them. How you treat others defines you.
People buy from people they trust and they trust people they like.
Live amongst people in such a manner that if you die they weep over you and if you are alive they crave for your company.
You don’t demand respect, you earn it.
Leadership is about integrity, honesty and accountability. All components of trust.
