The KLT Factor is not just something we should use to measure standards in business. It is a “life principle” that we should set as the standard we build on for ourselves.

President Barack Obama

KNOW-LIKE-TRUST?

I don’t do politics on any of my blogs so please don’t mistake this post for any type of political statement. Today, Barack Obama is being sworn is as our 44th President of the United States of America at today Inauguration. Yes, he will be the first Africa-America leader. But, still, is the KLT Factor there? Can you answer these questions:

Is Barack Obama someone that we really know?

Is he someone we like and more importantly, respect?

What about trust? Has Barack Obama earned our trust?

You might be thinking to yourself, “These questions are silly. The results of the election answer them.”

I don’t believe that to be true. The election showed very clearly that the American people were ready for a change and Barack Obama satisfied that desire. Now, can he live up to the job?

KNOW-we know a lot about our new President. And, if some of the less scrupulous media venues have their way, we may even have more information than we need to know. What do you know about Barack Obama? What else would you like to know?

LIKE- in this case, I don’t believe like is as relevant as respect. Do we respect Barack Obama? Respect is earned like trust is earned. Has this new President earned our respect yet?

TRUST-this is non-negotiable. Did winning an election mean that Barack Obama has the trust of the American people? Trust is earned. It is a privilege not a right. Do you trust Barack Obama as our new President of the United States of America.

The KLT Factor is the foundation for success in business and in life.

Each aspect, know-like-respect-trust, is a separate block that we lay down then build on.

Our actions, our words, our responses to events, how we treat others, how we treat ourselves, are all individual blocks that cemented together on our foundation of KLT. The result is the structure of who we are as a person and what we represent.

Use the KLT Factor as a foundation for your life and business. Choose the blocks you build with well. Cement them together with integity. Success will be yours.

As for our new President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, the next four years gives him ample time to build on the KLT Factor and the question, “Is Barack Obama someone we can know, like and trust?” will clearly be answered along the way.

Best wishes to the Obama family and to a building the next four years on the KLT Factor!

I consider Lynn Terry a rare find in this wide, wide world of Internet Marketing. She is real. She says what she means and means what she says for the good, the bad and the ugly of things.

This video was in my Inbox and I finally got to see it at about 3am this morning. All I could think of was this is know-like-trust at it’s very best and finest.

I consider myself lucky that I can call Lynn my mentor. I am part of her Elite Forum over at Self Starters Weekly Tips and consider that one of the very best investments I have ever made. The live calls on Tuesdays and Brainstorming on Thursdays has literally changed the way I do business more than any of the programs I have purchased.

I use Lynn’s search option on her ClickNewz site like I use Google. More often than not, I find the answers to my Internet Marketing questions right there in one of her posts!

The KLT Factor is about building a foundation of success based on Integrity. Based on Know-Like-Trust.

Lynn clearly enjoys the place she has earned in this world because she has built all she has and all she does on the KLT Factor!

Thank you Lynn and feel better soon!

The KLT Factor

Three simple words.

Know

Like

Trust

Look in the mirror. Who do you see?

Are you someone that people can know, like and trust?

These three simple words are the blocks that make the foundation of your success in business and, as far as I can tell in life.

The KLT Factor starts with you. If you don’t know, like and trust yourself than how will anyone else?

I know, sounds like a silly thing. Who doesn’t know, like and trust themselves? Well, answer the question then. Answer it honestly.

Know…what do people need to know about you? What don’t then need to know?

Like …how can you get people to like you? Do they really need to like or is earning their respect enough?

Trust…absolutely non-negotiable.

Now answer the question, do people really know you, like you and trust you?

Stop back and we’ll talk about some ways that you can really get the KLT Factor working for you in your business and in your life and if you have a minute, let me know what you thought.

Talk to ya soon!
