I love it when people raise up their hand to say “Yes, I can do it”… Even though they do not know how to get it done!
I have made an habit to NEVER SAY NO when people make requests from me. I have Google search and the Jamsa network at my disposal, I can quickly get more information about it or find an expert that I can recommend. Saying no or it cannot be done is never an option.
The challenge however is this: whenever you raise your hand to say “I can”, also be prepared to scale up your efforts, be prepared to work hard to complete the task in an excellent manner. it is a very bad thing to make promises and then never fulfill them, it is worse when you appeal to people’s emotions by offering excuses instead.
Back your words with action.
Back your promises with hard work.
Don’t be lame.
Don’t hold yourself to lesser standards.
If #TMP is supposed to be delivered before 5AM (Nigerian Time), every single day, I should scale up to get it done.
