ANOTHER CHANCE TO BEGIN TO "THINK AND GROW RICH" IN 2010: INTENTIONAL DISHONESTY

Greetings,

Honesty guides good people; dishonesty destroys treacherous people. (Proverbs 11:3)

Welcome once again to Let's Talk where we are taking a look at the thirty-one major reasons for failure. Our text of study is "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. We are in the twenty seventh day of our study of things that cause us to fail. Intentional dishonesty should cause bells and whistles to go off and throw up red flags.

There's not much that needs to be said about intentional dishonesty and the fact that it will cause our failure for sure. I know we've all heard that a little white lie will not hurt. The problem is if you tell one little white lie, you must continue to tell little white lies to cover up the ones already told. I have one question. How little is that little white lie now?

There are some instances where we may have been dishonest unknowingly. This happens. We think that we are give good instruction when in fact it is not. As long as our heart is right, in this instance, we are not condemned to failure. It's when we intentionally deceive someone that our actions we be compensated with much destruction.

Let's take a look at an example of intentional dishonesty. I have a business partner whose name is Van. One of the aspects of conducting our business is to invite other people to take a look at our business model to see if they would be interested in joining us. I do not have a job. I own a business. One of the ways Van attracts people is by advertising immediate positions open for hire, flexible hours, flexible pay, call for an interview. There is nothing wrong with this so far. When prospect calls for an interview, they are lead to believe they are interviewing for a job. This is intentional dishonesty, in my opinion, because there is a certain line of thinking that accompanies interviewing for a job, like a time clock, a regularly scheduled pay check, and a boss. In my industry none of these things exist. You can have a regular pay check, but you must make this happen via your own efforts. To lead someone on this way and convince them that they should join you is intentional dishonesty.

According to "Think and Grow Rich", "There is no substitute for honesty. One may be temporarily dishonest by force of circumstances over which one has no control, without permanent damage. But, there is NO HOPE for the person who is dishonest by choice. Sooner or later, his deeds will catch up with him, and he will pay by loss of reputation, and perhaps even loss of liberty."

Is intentional dishonesty worth it? I was taught, your word is your bond. If you don't have a respectable word, nothing else matters. If you are practicing intentional dishonesty, take this chance to begin to think and grow rich in 2010. Change the way you approach your affairs and we will see you at the top.
