Consistency in business is key to success and building strong relationships. It may seem like common sense, but it's not uncommon for people to struggle with following through on their commitments. According to the speaker, there are several reasons for this: people may be overcommitting themselves, afraid to say no, or not considering the implications of their yes before they give it. Regardless of the cause, not keeping your word can lead to wasted time, missed opportunities, and damaged relationships. Therefore, it's essential to carefully consider your commitments and ensure that you have the capacity to fulfill them before making a promise. By doing so, you'll not only improve your business's reputation and bottom line but also earn the respect and trust of those around you.

Consistency in following through with commitments is crucial in both personal and professional aspects of life. The consequences of not doing so can lead to strained relationships and loss of trust. In business, especially for service-based industries, failing to meet expectations can lead to customer dissatisfaction and damage to reputation. Effective communication and advance notice when faced with unforeseen circumstances are key to managing expectations and maintaining trust. By consistently doing what we say we will do, we build strong relationships and improve overall quality of life and business success.
