Hyrum Smith - “Character”
Character is the ability to carry out a worthy decision after the
emotion of making that decision has past.
Do what you say you are going to do.
Two-thirds of the commitments that are made in corporate America
either don't happen on time or they don't happen, ever.
Hyrum says that if you develop a reputation of doing what you say you
are going to do, you can write your own ticket in the corporate
world. Why? Because people can count on you.
In this short video it was a great reminder to me how valuable doing
what you say you are going to do is. You cannot keep telling your
child that you are going to take them to a movie and then not do it.
You cannot keep telling a friend that you will meet them for lunch and
then keep rescheduling. In business, it is important to keep
appointments, make phone calls, and do the things that you say you are
going to do. When you work from home on a full time basis is can be
easy to become relaxed and put something off because you can, just
make sure that it does not make you lose opportunities or make you
look unreliable. This is a very simple thing to do that can make you
stand out from others.
