Keep a notebook of your daily activities.

It’s not just what you do or what happens in your life. What’s important is that your visitors can see that you are actively working at building your dream … and you’re sharing the results with them. Keep notes of what worked and what didn’t work. Talk about it in your blog.

The more examples you give and the more stories you can tell, the more credibility you will have with your visitors. And the more they will trust you.

Example: yesterday, I went to visit one of my neighbors. Mike was an Air Force pilot in Vietnam, and he worked for the county government for many years before retiring not too long ago. He knows a LOT of people.

I need a meeting room for an evening business get-together in a few weeks. I could have just picked up the Yellow Pages and started dialing. Instead, I told Mike about it and asked who he would call. He gave me names & phone numbers of 4 people who he’s known for a long time, each of whom has a meeting room that might suit my needs. Believe me, when I drove over to Mike’s house, I never figured I’d get so much good information.

And then we talked for an hour, sharing a lot of thoughts & experiences. We discovered some strong connections between us. I gave him a copy of my book, “Evil Medicine.” (Mike is very interested in alternative health solutions.) I’ll keep Mike in the loop on my meeting, too, and which of his contacts I end up working with. Good chance Mike & I will eventually work together on something.

Points:

1. This story might inspire you to make a connection you would never have made otherwise.
2. People like to help out, if you ask them.
3. Mike and I seldom see each other, but today I have a lot more credibility with him than I did 24 hours ago. Who knows where that might lead?

So you can see several examples of increased trust from what I did yesterday. And if you set your goal each day to somehow create increased trust in one or more people, then over time, you will make contacts that help you achieve your dreams.

I appreciate you!
