SHAREMost of us change when it's too late. The pain of missing out on what would have been yours if you had worked hard is 100 times worse than you think.
Can others "cash" your word?” Put another way, when you say something, is it money in the bank or will that check bounce? If people can cash your word, your credibility score goes through the roof. Your credibility score is like your credit score—it’s a running record of every commitment you have made over the years.
Do what you say ALWAYS. Keep your word ALWAYS. When your credibility score goes up, others believe in you, and you believe in yourself even more. Confidence grows. Wins pile on top of wins.

Not living in California! You know how hard that is for me to say since I moved to California at age twelve, and it gave me more than twenty phenomenal years. But bad policies drive innovators out and attract those who love entitlements.
Stay paranoid and keep a watchful eye out for bureaucrats and aristocrats in your company, your local government, and any organization you're a part of.
