There is value in doing the simple things well.
Being extraordinary at doing the ordinary.
We tend to know what they are.
Arriving early.
Actively listening.
Using someone’s name.
Spelling someone’s name correctly.
Returning a call.
Cleaning up after yourself.
These may not seem like much at all.
Until they are not there.
Arriving late.
Being interrupted.
Forgetting someone’s name.
Spelling someone’s name incorrectly.
(You know when your name was last spelled incorrectly.)
(And you probably remember who it was.)
Unreturned calls.
Leaving a mess for others.
(Which inevitably leads to those office kitchen signs.)
If the simple and ordinary are not done well …
… what do we suppose for the complex and difficult?
“What is easy to do is also easy not to do.” – Jim Rohn
“Success is doing ordinary things, extraordinarily well.” – Jim Rohn
