From The Power Of Focus by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt:
When you break an agreement once, you will probably be given a second opportunity. When you repeatedly 
break agreements, your stock and value in the marketplace rapidly diminishes – people go elsewhere.
When you develop the habit of consistently keeping your little agreements, the big ones will look after themselves. Make this a philosophy for how you choose to live your life. When you do, you will be blessed beyond measure. It's been that way for centuries.
[W]hen you consistently do what you say you will do, the names attached to you are reliable and trustworthy. When you practice this every day, your rewards are numerous. They include loyal clients, increased profits, loving relationships and maybe most important, a sense of well-being in the knowledge that you are a person of high integrity.
