Be a Person of Integrity - Coaching Success - #489

<div> <p>Be a person of integrity, every day, always. If you screw up, own it. This leads to business success (and it's the right thing to do).</p> <div> <h3>Person of Integrity: Be One, Always</h3> </div> <div> <p>Integrity underpins business success. Yes, you may think of business that have seemingly grown despite scummy business practices.</p> <p>Don't worry about them. Life is not fair. Still, you will create loyal customers, have great reviews, and gain word-of-mouth marketing if you show up and do what you say you're going to do and the price you quoted. Be a person of integrity.</p> <p>Close loops you say you will close. Do things you say you will do. Be reliable, be honest, do the work to ensure you fulfill your promises.</p> <p>Integrity involves many values. It includes honesty. It includes work ethic.</p> <div> <h3>Person of Integrity: One Bad Action Can Destroy Trust</h3> </div> <div> <p>One failure, even an honest failure, can demolish trust and destroy a relationship.</p> <p>Matt shares an example of where, in his business running a gym, he was finally able to go on a vacation.</p> <p>He had been coaching someone who was preparing for a powerlifting meet and failed to send her programming. During her workout, two weeks before the meet, she injured her shoulder.</p> <p>Not only did that client fire Matt as his coach, but he lost a friend. Matt and his wife had developed a friendship with the couple. That relationship has not healed, even to this day.</p> <p>So, be a person of integrity, today, tomorrow, and every day until you die.</p> </div> </div> <p>This podcast is brought to you by TurnKey Coach.
