You Need Each Other

​Being reliable is within your control, because if you demonstrate you can’t be counted on people stop counting on you. I’ve been guilty of it, I think everyone has. You just don’t get to be upset for not being included when you’ve demonstrated you’re not reliable. If you want to change your reputation, start being consistent, and not just when there’s something on the horizon. Be consistent throughout the year. If people know they can trust what you say and do then they’ll be more likely to include you. Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready as they say. It’s a lot easier to have a core group of consistency that ramps up when necessary, than it is to have to bring up stragglers and round up people far and wide so you can adequately prepare.
