I couldn't agree more how important trust and building relationships is. "Total transparency" right? I have been fortunate enough to have developed some awesome online relationships with several people I have met on social networking sites. It takes time to build both relationships and trust, but time well spent. Great post Mike. I couldn’t agree more how important trust and building relationships is. “Total transparency” right?

This isn't new, as back in Greek times "giving trustworthy testimony"...basically being honest and having integrity was one of their cardinal virtues. Regardless of the results a person claims, if others don't trust them and view them as someone with integrity first, most people will dismiss them.

(It reminds of Nike's "Just Do It"). You make a really great point that overcoming inertia takes a lot more energy than staying in action. I think that it helps to keep a good running priority list so that you can more easily just stay in action by just checking off the list. Thanks for sharing this post. Hi Mike,

Not a lot of people will try to sell you something the first time you meet someone. Unfortunately, reality online is different. I suspect that the fact that you can stay relatively anonymous makes people confident enough to try and sell total strangers. So, your post is very appropriate. Blogging is a great way to present to the public who you are and what you stand for. Obviously, social media can help with that also. Thanks for sharing.

Procrastination has been a particular problem for me as a home business owner. There are so many distractions when working from home. It's been easy to put off "business" tasks in favor of spending time on other things. "Do It Now" will help me get on track. Hi Mike,

Just to add some depth to that, I think people develop trust over time, a point Adrian makes earlier in this thread. That is to say we gain in trust the more consistent someone/brand is in their behaviour. So developing our social footprint is a case of being consistent/authentic so that others can get a fix on us.
