Deliver Your PROMISE
The easiest thing that can be done in life is to PROMISE. WHAT makes it that EASY is because it WON'T cost anything, it WON'T need you to exert any effort and it can be done INSTANTLY. So, what's the biggest challenge staring right in our faces right now? It is to Deliver Your PROMISE๐ต๐ด๐ท
Yes, EVERY STORY STARTS SOMEWHERE. I heard this one-liner most recently today from Jeremy Jauncey, the founder & CEO of Beautiful Destinations. Well said. Point is, you can be standing near the gutter-level now so your story, your narrative can start from there, that is, if you have that intent to traverse and fulfill something๐๐๐
Truth is, many of us would succumb to this 'PROMISES CYCLE' and that vicious cycle NEVER gets broken year on year. WHY? Because, NO one is flagging us, NO one is brutally confronting us on our shortfalls, and NOTHING seems to make us feel ACCOUNTABLE for the tons of promises we would blurt out so easily๐๐๐
As there is no fool-proof formula that leads to the equation PROMISES=DELIVERY? What this means is that it behooves that we more often OVER-DELIVER more than what we would promise? Is that easy? Whether it's damn EASY or as steep to climb up, it's only yourself who would make it look EASY or that TOUGH to deliver on your PROMISE๐๐๐
Without reinventing the wheel, here's our CHEAT SHEET so we can DELIVER more than we PROMISE:
- DON'T over-promise, plain and simple.
- DELIVERY well. Give it your best shot.
- REMEMBER well enough. No excuses to forget a promise
- BE CAUTIOUS. Think cautiously before you promise
- BE COMMUNICATIVE. Make a crystal-clear promise
- BE CONSISTENT. Always deliver promises. It helps.
- TRACK and MONITOR your progress for each promise
- BE FOCUSED. It's NOT a cake-walk to deliver a promise
Word of caution: If you DON'T DELIVER ON YOUR PROMISE, that could be your credibility's 'LAST HURRAH'❎❎❎
