Cheating Never Leads to Success |
The formula for success in business has always been pretty straight-forward: You out-work, out-hustle and out-innovate your competition to provide superior products, services and customer experiences. These are the things that make business both fun and exciting. Yet, there are a number of people who view cheating as some sort of short-cut to success. They pass off second-rate goods to their customers as first-rate or they don’t report all of their income to the government for tax purposes or they bribe people in order to get their business. There are several problems associated with cheating: First, it compromises your integrity which means you no longer feel really good about yourself. Second, it takes time and energy away from the true formula for success. Finally, it eventually does catch up with you and when it does, the consequences can be dire. Just ask Bernie Madoff or some of the executives from Enron who are currently sitting in prison. So, do yourself a favor and treat “cheating” as a dirty word. By sticking to your true self, you set yourself up for long term success. - Ross Reck
