Gaining the Trust and Confidence of those Around You

Whether it be in business or everyday life trust and confidence are key ways of how we interact with others.  Building trust with your boss could land you that next promotion or show people that you are someone they can count on or could open doors for you in the future. How does one build trust and gain the confidence of those around them? It’s a task that is easier said than done for sure.

It takes time and patience to gain the trust and confidence of others.

The first thing in building trust with others is gaining a relationship with them. If people know that you genuinely care about them and being their friend, they’ll be more apt to trust you. Don’t try to build a relationship to gain favors, people will see right through you.  Be genuine in your connections and get to know the person on a personal level.

What’s in it for me? 
When building a relationship based on trust with an individual avoid the “what’s in it for me” attitude.  Just know what comes around goes around and if you help someone today with no thought of return, when you need a favor down the road they’ll be much more likely to help you out.

Be reliable 100% of the time. In order to gain the confidence of others, show them that you are someone they can depend on all of the time. People remember the negative more than the positive, so that one time you fell through may stick out in people’s mind as someone they can’t depend on. Show people what your worth and what you can do.

GROCO.com is a proud sponsor of The American Dreams Show.

 

The American Dreams show was the brainchild of Alan Olsen, CPA, MBA. It was originally created to fill a specific need; often inexperienced entrepreneurs lacked basic information about raising capital and how to successfully start a business.

Alan sincerely wanted to respond to the many requests from aspiring entrepreneurs asking for the information and introductions they needed. But he had to find a way to help in which his venture capital clients and friends would not mind.

The American Dreams show became the solution, first as a radio show and now with YouTube videos as well. Always respectful of interview guest’s time, he’s able to give access to individuals information and inspiration previously inaccessible to the first-time entrepreneurs who need it most.

They can listen to venture capitalists and successful business people explain first-hand, how they got to where they are, how to start a company, how to overcome challenges, how they see the future evolving, opportunities, work-life balance and so much more..
