SO if you have that kind of weight & g= ood will in the  bank of public trust then your word & opinion will= make the deal. What that's worth will vary. </BLOCKQUOTE> True words of wisdom; trust is the most important commodity that you as a b= usinessperson possess: Hard-won, difficult to maintain, seemingly stupid in an untruthful world---= yet the basis of success. Your trustworthiness will be a direct indicator of the success of your busi= ness.  The more you just ARE an honest person, and that’s the rep= utation you acquire, the better your cash flow will be. Getting paid by both sides in a business deal is not ethical; it’s ca= lled double-dipping; you can’t have total fiduciary responsibility to = one person when you’re taking money from another person who’s tr= ying to sell him something.  Apply the Golden Rule test; would it feel = good to you?
