SYED MANSOOR NAQVI PRESIDENT MBE

The most important thing in a business is the ability to trust yourself & the people around you. The two most important things are 'Trusting people' & 'How to boost & motivate people?'

Many negative thoughts will consume you regarding someone you are imparting trust on. People may feel that the person will hurt you. As part of your doubts, your mind will be filled with negative thoughts - will the person steal from me or will they take my ideas and thoughts, never to be seen again. The problem here is that we need more time to trust someone at work, which is our creation & our own business. We also assume wrongly that whatever we do by default is the right thing or approach. The first & most important thing is the mandatory presence of trust, especially in the people.

RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT YOU HAVE CREATED YOURSELF:

When you create an environment which is your own business, you have to know how to trust people & to boost people to motivate them until you can trust and grow that trust. It can get difficult to grow. At every point in your organization or company, you have doubts that a person might just hurt you, hence the thoughts of stealing money and alternatively your ideas.

Respect the environment you have created yourself & don't think negatively about the people around you. Don't let the negative thoughts or emotions cloud your judgment. Things may not always go as you planned so remember the two most important things for success in life, i.e. trust yourself first and trust others.

THERE IS NO MIDDLE WAY WHEN YOU INTEND TO TAKE A JOURNEY:

Whenever you intend to do something in life, there is no in-between. When traveling in a plane, you have no other option but to trust the pilot. As in life in this particular instance, you have no other option available to you. Similarly when travelling in a train, your life is in the hands of the conductor and while travelling in a bus, your life is in the hands of the bus driver. This is no different when you get admitted to a hospital, you fully trust your doctor as your life is in your doctor's hands. This is how it keeps going on and on.

All our life, we are giving our lives & our trust to someone else by default. We don't want to feel that as we think whatever we do by default is safe. It is something which is our creation. We are not willing to trust someone else.

NOT HAVING A TRUST IN PEOPLE CAN BE A CAUSE OF A FAILURE:

Not trusting people can be a cause of your failure. You have to give authority to people & empower them in the form of trust to make them your loyal employees. People or businesses who don't trust their employees usually don't even know the cause of their failure. However, trust me, the only cause is the lack of trust they have imposed on their employees.

Impart some trust in people and even if they are not one of your better employees, they may just become one of your most loyal when you show them trust. This is a result of sincerity. Research shows, if you need or want to understand people, just watch the people around them.

As far as a person's success goes, it is only possible if you, in a set environment, trust the people around you.

IT'S A PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUE THAT STOPS YOUR GROWTH & PROGRESS IN THE BUSINESS WORLD:

We (Cashwave) are ATM Processors in Canada. There is an immense amount of risk that our organization takes on every day in terms of loading cash in ATM’s as well as keeping track of all funds and making sure all funds are delivered to the correct accounts. When it comes to cash loading, the most common fear in the ATM industry is hiring cash loaders that you can trust with your cash. There is constant fear when you hand someone a large amount of money wondering “what if they steal it; what if they remove bills”. My company does not live with this fear. We believe that it is only right to trust anyone and everyone with your life until that trust is broken.

In the world of business, when you are surrounding yourself with more and more individuals with the goal to grow your organization, it is important that you trust everyone who is around you. If you have an attitude in which you did not trust the people you have employed or work with, this will jeopardize your companies’ environment and slow and stop your growth.

of the household. It stops you from providing the energy you are mandated to provide as the breadwinner for the family and can affect how they run the household.

Similarly, business is your second family & you need to transfer the vision & your roadmap to them. Unless you don't transfer the vision, there is no energy for your employees & no motivation at work. It's you whom they look up to for motivation & positive energy. This is the difference between a successful business & a failed one.

Linking the people & keeping them engaged is vital for business growth & success.

Making this link in your business a daily routine shall be a new day of hope both at home and in business. It will take your life in a new direction & will take all the associated people in a new direction. People not taking this action find it difficult for them to grow in the business world.

Conclusively, with this execution, life shall be very easy & business life shall be very easy & far smoother.
