The Reliable One

The Reliable One

For seven years I worked with a man named Terry.  He had the amazing reputation of promptly returning phone calls.  If Terry said he would call you, we could be assured he would call.  Sometimes Terry would call just to say he didn’t have all the facts yet, but he wanted me to know he was still working on the issue at hand. 

That is amazing. 

Reliability is golden. 

It is also rare.

You don’t need 5 steps to becoming a reliable person.

You don’t need to read a dozen books to help you become more reliable.

Just become reliable. 

If you say you’ll do it, then do it.

Show up

Make the call

Send the check

Take out the garbage

Clean up the kitchen

Complete the report on time

Just do whatever it is you say you will do.  And when you begin doing that, you begin building your own reputation as The Reliable One.

That, my friend, is a pretty unique handle to hang around your neck.
