Having it from the outset is a necessary ingredient to help attain initial success. Without it, a struggle and a divide require a bridge. Think of politicians and celebrities, and even organizations. Their credibility is integral to your perceptions.
The factors that give us credibility are simple. While what we say may seem plausible and even impress on others, the question that follows immediately is whether you have and can back it up with actions. When we can show that, we gain credibility, and as we continue to reinforce the few principles we put forward, so does it increase.
Credibility requires integrity. It is the genuineness of who we are, not what we say.
Gaining credibility is built over time while losing it can vanish instantly. Losing sight of why we choose to be, is the blink that can be fatal.
