Learn how valuable truth is for your business
Having a strong foundation is the right way to grow. With the right beginning you can definitely an establish a business that can survive for long.
Entrepreneur’s VIP contributor David Meltzer has published an article on why truth is so important for a business.
Meltzer says, “here are two sides to the truth. The first side is when we speak the truth, and the other side is when others speak the truth to us. It is important to speak the truth, otherwise, it will come out on its own. We waste time and energy when we avoid the truth. We must understand that the truth always comes out. Instead of using blame, shame, justification or straight out lying, we need to tell the truth. Even if the short-term repercussions of the truth seem to be in the favor of others, telling the truth will always bring the right energy to things. Although it may feel as if we put ourselves in a pragmatic disadvantage, there is no doubt the truth will always, always be the best route.
Hearing truth from others
The second side of that relationship is receiving the truth. Of course, our ego has many needs, including a need to be offended. Sometimes we put conditions, judgments and higher expectations on others than we do for ourselves. We also fall into the trap of not receiving the truth well. When we receive the truth well, it has the same accumulative and positive effect of speaking truth. The truth always comes out”.
