Bulletproof Formula for Being on Time Every Time.

I used to think that showing up late to a meeting showed everyone in the room how important I was. I equated business with success. That’s a larger conversation, but I have learned through experience that it is simply untrue. Showing up late tells everyone else that you don’t care about their time, which is disrespectful and honestly, pretty rude.

When I realized this, I was horrified, and I took immediate steps to change the way I thought about time. I made real changes to my mindset, planning and routine to ensure that I would never be late again. 

Entrepreneurs are busy people, and hearing that you need to be on time, all the time might sound impossible, but I promise you, it’s not. 

I’ve hit on a formula that works for me, and I’d love for you to try it out. It looks like this:

1. Evaluate why you’re constantly late
2. Put room in your schedule to prepare for and travel to meetings
3. Take actionable steps to stay on schedule
4. Reward your success.
