If you’re not early, you’re late. And I think in many ways, punctuality is the trait of royalty. I see this all the time. You’re waiting on a conference call and the other people show up 5 minutes late, or 10minutes late, or 15 minutes late, or they miss it. We do live in a world where people are overwhelmed, there’s tremendous amounts of complexity. Being early for meetings, conference calls, even for a dinner, if you’re meeting a friend for dinner or business prospect for dinner, get there early, bring a book, bring your digital device, catch up on whatever it is you want to catch up on. And be there first.
