Fulfilling commitments is no small feat, especially when illness strikes and life's unpredictabilities rear their heads. This week, I open up about my personal journey of prioritizing my word and the resilience it took to continue this podcast, despite the hurdles. Through the lens of my days running an insurance company in Florida, I reveal how my phone became a mental management tool that helped me stay accountable. Discover how turning my calendar into a 'religion' became my strategy for maintaining discipline and keeping promises, even when the going got tough. Inspired by Don Miguel Ruiz's "The Four Agreements," we dive into the transformative impact of being impeccable with your word, highlighted by the unwavering integrity of John D. Rockefeller.

Explore the essential role of trust and integrity, which are the true foundation of meaningful relationships and leadership. I share a candid experience of stepping away from a business opportunity due to my inability to meet expected standards, showcasing how honesty preserved that relationship. Learn why small lies can snowball into significant problems, eroding self-respect and confidence. Embracing reliability and consistency in commitments is not just a personal virtue but a powerful tool for building influence and opening new doors. Join me as we reflect on how these values can foster strong connections and turn life's challenges into opportunities.
