Late, Not Late
Apr 26, 2025
On time.
Or late.
Two choices. ๐๐ช
No "almost."
No "traffic was bad."
No "sorry, life happens."
No "it is what it is." ๐
If I say 3:00 pm and show up at 3:01 pm?
I'm late.
Period. ๐ฅ
Late is late.
One second, one minute, one hour — doesn’t matter. โฑ๏ธ
Every excuse leaks integrity. ๐ ๏ธ
I recently got reminded of this in the most awesome way by my coach Trevor Timbeck (Yeah, I was late.) ๐ฌ
Not "fashionably late."
Not "only a little late."
Not "good."
Not "bad."
Just late
...and out of integrity. ๐ซ
Some say, "If you're not early, you're late."
Cute idea.
Not accurate. ๐ฏ
Early is early.
On time is on time.
Late is late. ๐
No gray area.
No participation trophies. ๐๐ซ
You either create your life — or react to it. โก
Think "just a little late" doesn’t matter?
Cool.
Tell that to a pilot. โ๏ธ
Or a surgeon. ๐ฅ
Or a championship team down by one. ๐โณ
Am I perfect at this?
Hell no. ๐
When I miss, I want to own it — and take a look at the workability of my systems. ๐ ๏ธ๐
Own the clock.
Stay sharp. โ๏ธ
Stay dangerous. ๐งจ
P.S. Tomorrow at 7:51 am EDT (so long as I'm not late), I’ll say more about how I want to clean things up when I'm late. ๐ง
๐ Let's get your career stuff handled, find time to talk here. ๐ฒ
