#1 Lying is a losing proposition The odds
of getting caught have
increased dramatically
#2 Protect your reputation
A lifetime to build and just a moment to destroy
#3 Qualification: The truth eliminates garbage
Don’t waste time on that which can’t be won at the cost of that which is winnable
It is what you do and not what you say that defines you
#4 Words are empty without consistent confirming behavior
#5 Scarcity Principle: Be the pretty girl at the dance
Being invited increases your perceived value
