Consider the number of interactions you’ll have over your lifetime.
Not the number of times you’ll interact, total, but the number of times you’ll interact with the same person.
Now consider these facts:
- The most successful businesses are the ones with regulars.
- Those with the strongest friendships are those who see the same set of friends on a steady basis.
- The entrepreneur who convinces her investors is the one that shows up to meet them every day (invited or not).
- The leader with the best employees is the leader who greets, inspires and impacts his employees–persistently.
And let’s not even get started on love and how important those consistent interactions with one person are.
When you thoroughly consider the number of times you’ll meet each person again… Burning bridges looks less appealing. Complaining to whoever is to your left doesn’t seem so smart. Not waking up to give a damn about those you saw yesterday and will see again today (or maybe tomorrow or the next day or a year from now), well, that’s just a waste of a morning.
