Tonight’s discussion began with a powerful question: What personal values or traditional practices have helped you build trust and loyalty in your business journey?

Here are some of the insights shared:

Show up consistently and be honest

Be authentic and focus on building genuine relationships

Stay mindful of both your personal and business reputation

Remember the principle: Know, Like, Trust

Educate others to help them understand and feel confident

We also explored the idea that expectations can shape our perceptions. Sometimes, being too focused on specific outcomes might blind us to other valuable feedback or signs of progress.

Running a business is full of challenges, and trust is essential. People will only share your work or recommend your services when they truly believe in you.

Believe in yourself. When your time comes, it will happen—so don’t give up.

Know your worth. Never undersell yourself. Even the things that come naturally to you likely took time and effort to master. What feels small to you might be game-changing for someone else, saving them time, money, or stress.
