How does it feel when you cannot trust someone? But I think the better question we should ask is, what if you do not trust yourself? You might be thinking, how am I not trusting myself? Plain and simple, it is when your yes doesn't mean yes or your no doesn't mean no.

We have all met that person in our life (or maybe we have been that person) that will give you a yes, but in reality, they mean no. How does this translate to your business? How can you be the affirmative leader and make sure your staff trusts your word?

Today I get a little personal with you, sharing stories that helped me realize the depth meaning behind someone's yes and no. And how this will translate to your life, your staff, and your business. How you can ensure your staff trusts you.

So what do you say? Let's get ready and jump. Welcome to another episode of Bella in Your Business. I hope your Thanksgiving was great. I am back with another kind of like heartfelt podcast episode for you today, and it basically comes down to how do you know if your staff really trusts you? When we're talking about this, this is way bigger than just your staff. This is going to be a very introspective podcast where I want you to really consider like, hey, there’s a point here. This also, of course, comes from my own very personal experiences.

I've learned so much in my life this year. It's probably been one of the biggest growth years for me personally. And from it, it really makes me happy and excited, and I want to share it with you. So I'm going to do my best because everything that happens in our personal life also relates to our business, right? So I'm talking today really about trusting yourself and others—and others trusting you.

There was this person that came into my life a couple of years ago, and we were supposed to meet up and just hang out and grab lunch.
