In this day and age of social media and the internet, a lot of people seem to have no respect for intellectual property. They will just take someone else’s words, content and or ideas and slap their name on a quote card and call it their own.

They believe that if they alter it slightly, even just by one word and then attribute it to themselves, then they’re good to go. Sometimes they’ll even teach entire concepts word for word without ever giving attribution.

In fact, there's a few successful people who’ve made a lot of money in the coaching and entrepreneurial world on the backs of people who came before them that they give no credit to.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about having integrity and not plagiarizing someone else’s work. Or as I like to simply say…

“Don’t steal sh*t!”

It’s really not that complicated. Having the integrity to acknowledge your teachers or where you get information from doesn’t take anything away from your intelligence or reputation.

In fact, it works in your favor and shows that you’re confident enough in your own wisdom and lived experience, to not be afraid to let people know about your mentors, teachers or other brilliant friends who you’ve learned from or are also doing great work in the world!
