The mere mention of your name conjures expectations of excellence. When your name is associated with a project, others want to join. Clients and those with whom you work aspire to your high standards. There is no distinction between your personal and professional life. It is all one.
Strength feeds upon strength, which leads to even greater strength.
Your influence grows over time through your associates, friends and clients. Those with whom you come in contact are your greatest promoters. This occurs slowly, but it is all the more powerful because it takes hold with each individual on a personal, emotional level. Money and power are not your true rewards. Your name, your principles, your impeccable standards, your virtuous conduct, and remains an influence with others long after you are gone.
