If you say yes to the opportunity, you’re saying yes to the preparation that goes along with it.
Showing up prepared isn’t a posture you’re born with. It’s not something you have or don’t have. You get to choose. You get to get better at being prepared. It’s an acquired skill.
Some of us were lucky enough to have it modeled for us or instilled in us by parents, coaches, or the good kind of peer pressure…When you hang out with the type of people who prepare well, you don’t wanna be the odd one out.
Do the work beforehand. Everyone benefits. Everyone learns that you’re the type of person who cares and can be relied on.
