They Thought No One Was Watching

Something happened to me today that I can't stop thinking about — and it has EVERYTHING to do with how we run our businesses.

2 ladies set up a mobile car washing business in the very back of my complex today. Smart move, right? Tucked away. Out of sight. Thinking nobody would notice.

Except I live back there. 😄

They weren't residents. They were using electricity and water that they didn't pay for. Parked in a handicapped spot. And when I questioned them — they lied. Straight to my face.

Here's what hit me though...

As business owners, WE are always being watched. By our customers. Our community. Our peers.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗰𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲? 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀? 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿? 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

The moral of the story...

Building a business on integrity means doing it 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 — even when it's harder, even when no one seems to be looking.

Because someone always is. 👀

Are you building your business on a solid foundation?
