Yeah, gaining trust from other people might not be an easy task to do. But here is the simple fact I want to share with you. You can only gain trust from others if you learn to trust yourself. Trust begins with you. When you trust yourself, you will mean what you say and say what you mean. This will allow other people to develop trust in you.

To trust yourself, you need commitment. You have to develop your mental energy and remain resolute to your beliefs and principle. Do not allow yourself to feel beaten when you fail in something that you have tried to achieve. View failure as feedback and try to get back on your feet again. Accept the fact that you will not win every time. That is the Law of Nature. There will be times when there are others who might do better than you. The important thing is to trust yourself so that you know that you’ve given your best.

As Arthur S. Adams once said, "Good character is that quality which makes one dependable whether being watched or not, which makes one truthful when it is to one's advantage to be a little less than truthful, which makes one courageous when faced with great obstacles, which endows one with the firmness of wise self-discipline."

Successful entrepreneurs are always dependable because they take full responsibility for their actions. They know that what they are today, and what they are going to be tomorrow, depend solely on themselves, as it is the outcome of their own choices and decisions. They are proactive people, who set goals, walk an extra mile to achieve them and rely, primarily, on their own resources and abilities.

Being responsible and taking responsibility is what is going to make you stand out from the rest. Whatever the situation, you can only feel a sense of personal satisfaction if you learn to take responsibility of what you do in life. High achievers know that they are 100% responsible for what's happening to them. They don't blame anybody else. "There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them," said Denis Waitley.

At last, let me quote what Brian Tracy said about one of the qualities of the top 1% of successful people, "They see themselves as President of their own personal services corporation. The top people in our society have an attitude of self-employed. 100% of us are self-employed. We are presidents of our own personal services corporation. You work for yourself. The biggest mistake we can ever make is to think we work for anyone else. We work for ourselves. The person who signs our paycheck may change; our jobs may change, but we are always the same. We are the one constant--we are always self-employed. The fact of the matter is -- this is not optional, it is mandatory -- you are the president of your own company, you're the president of your own career, your own life, your own finances, your own body, your own family, your own health. You are totally responsible. We are responsible. No one will ever do it for us. It's the most liberating and exhilarating thought of all, to think that you're the president of your own life."
