A decent now is better than a great later…

We had a new guy start on our team at work today and as soon as we met I asked him if he had lunch plans and offered to take him to lunch. I didn’t prep for it or read up on his personality style report or wait until I had a free day. I just know the sooner you connect with someone the better that relationship will be: Forever.

I’m going to try to implement this principle more because my tendency is to wait and justify to myself that I will ‘do it up right’ when i get to it…9 times out of 10 though I never get to it when it comes to connecting with people. As the saying goes: ‘You only have one chance to make a first impression’.
