A Walking Loose End

In the spirit of full disclosure, the people who drive me batty are the ones who start things with a roar and end them with a whimper. I refer to them as walking loose ends.

That phrase describes the part of us that doesn't finish what we start. Now I suspect most of us have a little of that in us, but some people are world-class at starting quick and fading fast.

You have to admire the passion they bring right out of the gate. But then you find yourself scratching your head at how quickly the flame disappears. It's as though they're a sparkler.

They get hot and bothered, and then don't bother.

I'm amused by this behavior when I don't have to do business with these folks. Socially, they bring a lot to the fun, superficial side of life. But when it comes time for the nitty-gritty, it's a pity.

Here's a conversation I have with every person I hire:

"You don't have to overdeliver. You just have to do what you say you're going to do."

Because when I hear hyperbole, I want to throw pies.

My rant is now over.

And I don't imagine for a minute  expressing it will change anything, but it might get you curious about this:

To compete, you have to complete.

Otherwise, you're wearing a disguise that delivers more lows than highs.

All the best,

John
