Ep. 76: Arrive Early

There’s an old saying: If you’re five minutes early, you’re on time. If you’re on time, you’re late and if you’re late, you’re fired.

I used to be late for everything. Then I realized how selfish and self-centered my behavior was to those waiting for me. When you’re constantly late, people see you as rude and disrespectful — and you are! Being late causes stress for you and everyone else.

Now I’m almost always early. I add a little extra time to drive anywhere so I don’t risk getting a speeding ticket or fueling anyone’s road rage. Arrive early and you’ve scheduled in room to breathe.

Instead of being predictably late, arrive early and be the one everyone can count on.
