W12: Integrity, Virtue, and Willpower

 There are 3 things I would like to discuss today, and they are: Integrity, Virtue, and Willpower. 

Firstly, when we discuss entrepreneurship and doing business on a large scale, we have to make a decision on if we are going to practice our business and do it with integrity or not. The truth of the matter is that you can make money by being both honest and dishonest. The thing is though, in this life, you get what you give. Read that again. You get what you give. You get back what you do, think, or say. So if you are going to go about doing things unethically, you can bet that you will have poor or crooked things restored back to you. You will attract the wrong kind of crowd. This goes for virtuous qualities as well.

As long as you do good and do your best to uphold good values, you will attract good things in return. The thing is, that this works both ways. The more bad you do, the more bad you attract. We have to do our best to do business honestly. I have found so far in my experience that the ethical, honest companies are the ones who gain genuine loyalty, because people want to be with companies who do honest business. Who would want to go with a company where you can't be sure if they will do business properly or not? 

Lastly, I would like to talk about will power. There is no greater power than a strong will. "the hardest choices require the strongest wills." is a quote I heard from a popular Marvel movie, but it is true. Our will power is our ticket to achieving what we want. When we put our mind and will to it, we can accomplish anything. That is how young entrepreneurs are achieving what they want these days, is they have the will power necessary.
