Being on Time for Meetings

One of the cardinal sins of business is being late for meetings. Some problems that most entrepreneurs may have are a lack of focus, lack of attention to detail, and too many irons in the fire to begin with.  One of the things that has helped many people is to either :

1. use a planner (Franklin Planner, etc.)
2. use a PDA (Palm, smart phone, etc.)
3. get a watch ( surprisingly many entrepreneurs don’t wear watches)
4. plan ahead (surprisingly many entrepreneurs don’t plan out their day)

Nothing says I am not ‘on top’ of things more than being consistently late for meeting (whether they are extremely important or not). It is a matter of courtesy and professionalism. Shed bad habits and plan a little extra time to make those meetings with partners. Partners ultimately affect business outcomes and meeting deadlines. Revamp your schedule and be on time!
