Credibility is the foundation of any successful brand and business.

Credibility distinguishes successful business people from those who don’t succeed.

Establishing credibility helps you build long-lasting relationships with your clients. If they respect you, they’ll vouch for you and continue doing business with you.

Authenticity is the only way to foster credibility. You cannot build credibility by being inauthentic.

To establish credibility, be honest, show people who you are, and stay consistent.

In this episode, Mitchell Levy talks about the importance of establishing credibility for your business and how to do that by being authentically yourself. He also shares his journey as a TEDx speaker.
