Helping You Live Your Best Life!
Integrity is, without a doubt, one of the most vital traits a person can possess. Living with integrity means you never have to worry about your actions or words, as they consistently reflect your best self. When you act with integrity, you can move forward confidently, without the burden of looking over your shoulder or second-guessing your decisions.
Initially, I believed integrity was purely instinctual, something we were born with, inherently knowing right from wrong. However, I’ve come to understand that while some aspects of integrity may be innate, it is also a trait that must be consciously nurtured and upheld.
I am so committed to living a life of integrity that it forms the foundation of both my personal and professional interactions. For me, anything less is simply not acceptable. Integrity is not just a guideline; it is the only way to lead a truly authentic and rewarding life.

7 个月excellent read! Thank you, Joe.
I lead contrarian thinkers to financial freedom by helping them buy the RIGHT business and stop wasting time on an endless search for the wrong deals.
7 个月Great read. I started with integrity, had my work ethic smashed to bits in an unhealthy industry, and then left to rebuild my integrity. On a personal level, always. But with work I certainly slipped up after some time. Working hard and upholding my high stabdard just put a target on my back, and years of negative reinforcement ruined me. It may be cliche, but God opened the door and I followed _ I went out on my own as an entrepreneur was a revival of my mind, spirit, and faith. It's allowed me to find my integrity and stand firm through it again.
