Envisioning Possibilities – Reputation
Promises
“ The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep.” Robert Frost
My biggest tip is to keep your promises. Do what you say you are going to do. We make a promise to our clients, associates, and friends when we say we are going to “do” something.
As a volunteer, especially in the business world, your actions are scrutinized by potential clients. They observe whether you complete your tasks on time, the quality of your work, and your level of commitment. This underscores the importance of maintaining a good reputation.
Building a good reputation takes time but can be lost in a heartbeat. Be proactive, stay authentic, and prioritize your business’s reputation for long-term success!

I agree with you, that if we don’t do what we have said we will, that will get noticed. It’s important to under promise and over deliver, as they say.
