We’ve all heard the ‘ole adage, “eighty percent of
success is showing up”. I remember the first time I heard that and thought,
WOW, how simple is that. Too simple to be true, or so I thought. If I were in
the position to influence young people today, that simple principle is
something I would strongly impress upon them along with a few others. Here’s my
so simple, yet so right on, list. (I’d love to hear what’s worked, or working
in your life too!)
-show up
-follow up
-be responsive
-listen
-do what
you say you’re going to do
It’s
really pretty simple isn’t it?
(*Who said it - the 80% thing? Woody Allen and
Marshall Brickman co-writers of the Oscar winning screenplay movie Annie Hall,
were interviewed together. The following words were spoken by Marshall
Brickman, but he attributed the adage to Woody Allen.)
