Millionaire Habit 6: Acting With Integrity
by Adam Khoo

Many people have the perception that the fabulously rich and
powerful are dishonest and unethical.

And who can blame them after hearing stories of how millionaire
executives rip off their shareholders in scandal after scandal on
Wall Street?

Think about Enron, China Aviation Oil, WorldCom, ACCS, REFCO and
the list goes on.

Certainly there are unethical & unscrupulous rich people around
(incidentally, their wealth & businesses rarely last), but the
truth is that most self-made millionaires share a common habit of
personal integrity.

Interestingly, in the best-selling book 'The Millionaire Mind',
author Thomas Stanley interviewed 733 multi-millionaires and asked
them what were the key factors that contributed to their wealth.

Ranked number one was 'being honest with people'. Surprised? This
factor was ranked way ahead of factors like 'making wise
investments', 'working hard' and 'having a competitive spirit'.

What is integrity and why is it so important to long term wealth?

Integrity is about being honest with others and adhering to high
moral standards.

It is also about doing what you say you will do. When you act with
integrity, your customers, colleagues and staff will place their
trust in you.

They know that you mean what you say and that you will not let them
down. They know that you will give them the best quality for their
money and they know that you will not cheat them.

In a world where so many people are unethical and dishonest, build
your reputation on integrity and you will have an endless supply of
customers, suppliers, investors and business partners.

Over the years, I have had many people who have approached me to do
business with them and I have turned most of them down, no matter
how great the opportunities to make money seemed to be.

As a result, many people have asked me what I look for in a
business partner.

My answer is that 'integrity' is above everything else. So, always
act with integrity and you will possess one of the greatest
strengths of all.
