Good Morning,
The birds outside my window are chirping steady and easy this morning. That song from nature is welcome tune that we enjoy while sipping a hot cup of Door County Highlander Grog Coffee. It is time to write.
Proverbs 21:5 NIV The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.
I am going to state this directly and with a heightened emphasis on the importance of my blog this morning.
Folks, being on time and not late should be a goal for every person.Being late does happen but it should not be a steady experience. Appointments made, should be kept and both parties should be there on time or in the rare instance when being late could not be avoided proper communication should take place and include an apology to those left waiting.
Being late and then failing to communicate, leaves a bad impression and shows a lack of respect for other's time and in some instances their money. I was taught at a young age that being ten minutes early is actually being late. My Dad ran on Marine Corp time and you got one chance to impress him with promptness and after a couple late occurrences and not much of an excuse for being late, his opinion of you began to shrink.
Keeping a deadline, and communicating promptly and often is expected in relationships and in business, especially if you are hoping for a future referral.
On time. Every time, with no excuses should be the goal of all businesses and personal relationships. Maybe tomorrow I will talk about being under budget if you can get there on time.
God Bless,
Marty
