Who are your most trusted advisors? Consider the following categories as a way to begin building your list:

• Doctors
• Lawyer
• Accountant
• Banker
• Best friend(s)
• Family member(s)
• News sources

How did you select these individuals or sources? How important is it that they reflect your views and values?

How long does it usually take you to determine if someone is trustworthy? What does it take for you to lose trust in people?
