Integrity is definitely a must in this business, otherwise you won't be "staying" in business for long. Honesty is always the best policy!! I wouldn't have it any other way, myself!

No lying. Got to sleep with myself and shave in the morning.

I agree Lukas. We have probably all known a few people that felt there was no other way to build a down line. They usually don't stick around very long. You will often see them hop a few companies before disappearing altogether.

Be true to yourself. Everything is transparent in the Internet age. The things you write today will still be here next year and the year after that.

Absolutely not! No lies! I have to be able to look at myself in the mirror. Hey, money isn't everything. There are other things much more important than money. For example the value of a life-long relationship or friendship. I would never jeopardize that for a quick buck. So not worth it!

A business build on lies and deceit is build on sand and easily washed away. But a business build on integrity, honesty and trust is build with steel and able to withstand anything.

Always remember, lying is not an option. Nothing is more important in your life than your integrity. That people who hear or read your words can indeed believe them as truth. You don't have to sell yourself out for the almighty dollar. But you can amass the almighty dollar on a bed of truth, rather than lies. Besides, who wants to have to remember all the lies you might have said just to make a sale.

Let me tell the truth and be able to good to bed at night and have a restful night's sleep. Personally, I would rather die than sacrifice my integrity.

Do some people make a bunch of money from building a business based on lies? Sure - happens all of the time...over the years, I've learned how to filter the obvious lies...especially after doing some research on "instant overnight sensations" that get boosted up the ladder just from JV promotions.

The question is, which path do you want to follow? Do what you think is right.

Integrity is #1. And even "hype" is a type of lie. I am attracted to people and companies who are genuine and real. Thanks ~ Patti
