How can I trust someone once the trust has been broken? Trust is a paradox: it is, at the same time, the strongest tie that unites millions of people, and at the same time, it's the most fragile link that can easily be broken. No trust means no connection ❌ No connection means no collaboration ❌ No collaboration means no relationship ❌ No relationship means a net zero growth. ❌ While we have "systems" and frameworks for many different things, how do you trust someone? Especially in a business partnership where money, time, effort, and reputation are on the line. Here's a simple yet brilliant framework offered by Michael Gervais : ✅ Does the person have the skill, expertise, and talent in the area that you entrust them with? ✅ Are they the same person under stress and pressure? ✅ Do they have your best interest as much as they have their best interests? Before entering any partnership, business relationship, agreement, or business venture with anyone, ask yourself these three simple questions. If the answer is NO to any one of them, it is time to pause and reassess. What are your tools to evaluate trust? #trust #trustinbusiness #learnontiktok #coachlio #lifecoaching
