How can one gain respect and trust?
In a business world, your trust worthy depends on your pocket.
The more you have, the more trust worthy you are, and with it is respect.

A respected person is a trustworthy person.

These things are the foundations of respect and trust.

Leadership - you are respected and trust thru your authority status.
Wealth - you are respected and trust thru your riches.

Virtual respect and trust are anchored to a person or persons that have the foundations.

"The foundations must be present to gain respect and trust. "
