Old School

I believe in the "Old School" way of doing things from the past. In today's fast-paced world with technology leading the way, isn't it time to review some of our traditional practices and remind ourselves that these tried and true ways can spell unlimited success.

Here are a few that are top of mind to me, and epitomize what having "Old School" values can mean to us...

Build relationships before building clients
People do business with people they know and like
Return peoples' phone calls in a timely fashion
Thank-you notes should be handwritten
Say good morning and look people in the eye
When you say you are going to do something, do it!
Treat people how you would like to be treated
Make lists and do the priorities and hard jobs first
Meet deadlines
Be proactive and enthusiastic
Don't assume anything.

There are many, many other "Old School" ways of conducting yourself, but you get the idea.

Now don't get me wrong, I love email, Facebook, Twitter and the rest. You will note that the above list does not mean you do away with computers and other electronic aids - those are all tools that can help you remain relevant in the "Old School" way of doing things. But they are only tools - the way you put them to work for you will determine your level of success.

I hope my foundation is based on Old School Ways and continues to be so.

Happy Traveling,
