Happy Holidays

I hope everyone has the happiest of holidays. The new year is approaching and it is time for New Year resolutions. This is a great time for setting goals and for making a plan so that you can reach those goals. Don't make the goals impossible to reach but don't make them too easy to reach either. Set up monthly goals that build up to a yearly goal. I will share some of my goals in future posts. Why not share some of yours too?

Trust Vs. Paranoia

Paranoia is a thought process heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs concerning a perceived threat towards oneself or one's traffic exchange? Ok, yes I admit that I added the "traffic exchange" to the definition.

I am a big believer in trust being something that is earned and shared between two people, groups, etc. If a traffic exchange owner wants his or her members to trust the administration than trust must also be shown toward the members. Obviously not everyone is trustworthy, but not every member is out to cheat either. Paranoia is destructive and should be avoided at all cost. Some precautions are sensible and necessary, but don't let paranoia in!

Would you rather buy something from a stranger or a friend?

Today I would like to talk about your internet reputation.  With all the scams on the internet and with so many products and services for sale, how do you know what can be trusted?  And a better question is why would someone buy from you? 

I stopped trying to sell "things" and put my efforts into building relationships.  There is no price tag for a good reputation or trust.  Don't scam people.  You might make a few dollars but you will have lost a much more valuable thing. 

Not Just a copycat TE
