When people ask us a question, they’re looking for THE answer. If our response is uncertain or untrue, we’re not helping them get what they need. We’re taking advantage of their trust in our knowledge and we’re choosing our ego over our integrity.

2️⃣ It gives you an opportunity to build even more trust through follow-through
3️⃣ You won’t be a liar
