Why is the line so fine between legalism and discipline?
If I say I’m going to run 4 miles but you want me to stop at 3.95 miles, some would say it’s legalistic of me to argue the need to finish the remaining .05 miles. When in fact I would suggest it is only being disciplined. I prefer to train the mind and body to do what I initially set out to do, with no shortcuts in the name of fleeing legalism.
This same discipline should be applied to business as well. When forming a new partnership or joint venture, the integrity of the relationship is much determined by the discipline of each party. Following through to ensure what you each say you will do, gets done with no cut corners. The outcome of a mutually strong and trusting relationship will be a worthy reward for the effort.
About Me
- Danielle Koop
- Started my first job at the age of 12 years old...after a few weeks of cleaning houses for my neighbors I realized I liked having money and a bank account. Since then I've pursued business and new opportunities, enjoying each moment along the way. Years ago I told everyone I met that someday I'd be a famous fashion designer but as the years progressed I figured it'd be more fun to simply own the company and tell the designers what to do. Somewhere along the way, I got side tracked working at an Internet company which is where I am today, apparently I wasn't meant to be a Fashion Guru as instead I turned out to be a lover of Business Development.
