It is just 5 days before Christmas. Merry Christmas to start ups,
entrepreneurs out there: struggling to meet sales commitment, meet the
bonus 13th month bonus requirements, do year end reports, finish
inventory?
Really, what is the most important trait of an
entrepreneur? Audacity, determination, pleasing personality? Communication skills?
The trait we are referring to here is PUNCTUALITY.
The ability to be at the appointed time on time.
Period. Tardy people usually sucks in their commitment or lie. If you
are on time, you are on high moral grounds and can demand respect from
those who do not come on time.
Dan S Kennedy, a motivator, author, author of this article tells about what his mentor told him for being late:
1. being dead
2. wanting to be late.
Borrowing from Dale Carnegie, if you want to win friends and
influence people, be punctual
Time is gold. Recognize the time value of money. It is important in finance. Math of investment. People pay rent money/interest for amounts borrowed.
Respect the time of people. Do not keep them waiting. Do not keep your boss waiting. It is your duty to be ahead of your boss. For those who keep on doing this, you should be
ashamed.
