Are you aware that being late will actually place a block on your personal growth path?  You don’t want to be late.  Prepare yourself to arrive 15-30 minutes early in all appointments so people will recognize: You respect your time and their time.

When you make an appointment, take it seriously. This is A CONTRACT between you and the other party. You don’t want to break the contract.

You may ask ” But I can’t always be on time! Due to unforeseeable factors I sometimes have to reschedule the appointment” then I’d suggest the following:

Firstly, please realize you need to take the responsibility by apologizing to the other party because you are going to break the verbal agreement, which is also a contract.

Secondly, you will attempt to negotiate a new agreement which is a new appointment which can be 15 minutes later.
Thirdly, you want to thank the other party and actually do it ( arrive on time ).

If you treat appointments this way, I can guarantee you stand out from the crowd. People will respect you more because you take responsibility in honoring your words and you respect both your time and their time.

Remember: What you do one thing is what you do everything!
