Why show up early?

Why-show-up-early.png

Do you always show up early or are you continually running in at the last minute?

You see people everywhere. Flustered as they arrive to a meeting late. Texting "I'll be there in ten" blaming the traffic, the last meeting running over, or anyone but themselves.

I'm at Universal's Harry Potter World this morning with my eldest daughter and already by 7:30am have experienced three rides and waited no more than five minutes when typically wait times are 60-90 minutes. All because we showed up early.


Don't allow yourself to be sucked into someone else's chaos. Leave yourself enough time, watch the clock, excuse yourself from a rambling meeting so you can be on time for your next appointment, set a good example to your team.

The early wizard catches the best wand.
