Reputation is not about Self Promotion

Reputation is about consistently adding value, with out ever promoting self. When your interest is in adding value to people and to customers your reputation builds itself.

For those of you trying to convince someone that you have something they want or need, try serving them so they can get to know you. Give away free stuff. 

Ask for nothing and be available when you can.

Stop having an opinion and start listening and guiding with genuine concern and questions.

Yes most of the time your reputation is built when your mouth is shut. Let others do the talking, and you do the work and walking.
