The Relationship Standard

If I had to reduce the entire lesson to one standard, it would be this:

Treat relationships like something you’re responsible for.
Not something you’re entitled to.

Because you’re not owed loyalty.
You’re not owed respect.
You’re not owed trust.

You earn those through consistent behavior over time.

The Hague traveler gave me a simple reminder that’s worth repeating:
This is all about relationships.

He’s right.

And if you build relationships intentionally, you won’t have to chase business.
Business will follow trust.

Integrity compounds. Relationships prove it.
