Do you want to know a valuable piece of advice someone gave me before I started my business? Honor your commitments with integrity. For entrepreneurs, "Integrity" isn’t just a concept, it’s the foundation of trust with customers, vendors, and employees. When a business violates its code of ethics, it becomes clear how important this principle is. Here’s how you can build a business based on integrity: 💠 Keep your word: Actions speak louder than words so follow through on your commitments. 💠 Be realistic: Don’t overpromise, it’s always better to under-promise and over-deliver. 💠 Embrace honesty: Transparency is vital. If you can’t keep up a promise, be upfront and honest. Building trust requires integrity. 💠 Set clear expectations: Define clear responsibilities for everyone as this will prevent misunderstandings and reduce conflict. When you follow these principles, you will create a culture that fosters trust, reliability, and success. #entrepreneurship #integrity
