There's No Lasting Success Without It...

The last article I shared on this platform served as the starting point for taking a deeper look, through several messages in A Daily Dose Of Leadership, at what it takes to create A Cycle for Success in nearly any field we put our hands to. While those specific steps were primarily things we need to focus on within ourselves, I'm going to take that a step farther here, and in the messages that follow in A Daily Dose Of Leadership, by digging into something that's absolutely critical to develop if we're to sustain that cycle so many of us work incredibly hard to create.

OK Wes, what could possibly be so critical to building that cycle that you'd suggest there's no lasting success without it???

Well, since you asked...

Building TRUST through every personal or business interaction we have with others creates a foundation for any future success we achieve to stand on. Without investing the time and energy to develop that foundation, any success we achieve is sure to be short lived - and we're extremely unlikely to have any real shot at maintaining our own internal cycle for success since our beliefs, our thoughts, our actions, and our results will always be impacted negatively by lacking the true character necessary to earn trust with the people we deal with on a daily basis.

But how important is trust, really...?

Jeffrey Gitomer said "Trust is even more important than love." And in his newest book, The Infinite Game, Simon Sinek shares a story about how picking team members that can be trusted is far more important than selecting the ones with the best individual technical ability for Navy SEALS.

Over the next several days, we'll take a hard look at several ways trust impacts our ability to build a cycle for success, how it can often be extremely hard to build, and we'll look at how it can be lost so very quickly...
