Trust Or Respect? Pick One!

Have you ever thought about the difference between trust and respect and the relationship between the two? Trust. According to dictionary.com, trust is defined as: "reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence." Your friends trust you. They trust you because they know you. They have observed how you behave in many social and sometimes professional situations. They know what you value and they know what you care about. They also know that you value them and their friendship. Respect. Dictionary.com defines respect as: "esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability: I have great respect for her judgment."  We respect people we work with because we see how they manage their work and how they behave at work. We know what they can accomplish because of their accomplishments and because of the effectiveness of their efforts at work. When we meet a new person, whether it's at work or in our personal lives, we do not necessarily trust them. Trust takes time to develop. But we do respect them. We take it on faith they are accomplished in their field. Over time, we learn to trust. Over time, we may lose respect! So consider this. Our friends trust us, but they don't respect us. People we just met respect us, but they don't trust us. Apply this knowledge to your network marketing business, and you will understand why it works they way it does!
