Your reputation isn’t something that happens to you but BECAUSE of you.
It’s a product – and you’re the manufacturer.
Most people treat reputation like a passive inheritance, but it really is an active creation.
Every interaction is a brushstroke painting who you are.
The Currency of Trust
Your reputation is your personal brand’s stock price. It fluctuates based on performance and the decisions you make every single day.
The secret?
- Do what you say you’ll do.
- Show up when it’s uncomfortable.
- Be so reliable that dependability becomes your signature.
The Reputation Paradox
The less you try to manage your reputation, and the more you focus on being you, the more magnetic you become.
Authenticity attracts. Desperation repels.
What do people say about you when you’re not in the room? That’s your real reputation.
If you don’t like the answer, congratulations – you’ve just discovered your most important project.
Your reputation isn’t a trophy. It’s a daily practice.
Are you building something worth talking about?
