There truly are no shortcuts to success. I was fortunate to grow up with parents who understood that and instilled that in me from a young age. “Any job worth doing is worth doing right” was one of my dad’s favorite sayings. As a kid who was sent back to redo a chore, it wasn’t my favorite saying. As a leader, I think it is one of the most valuable lessons of my life.⠀

Attention to detail is critical to doing a job ‘right.’ Going the extra mile to finish is part of doing a job ‘right.’ Completing even the parts that aren’t easily seen is part of doing a job ‘right.’ Above all, doing something to the absolute best of your ability is doing a job ‘right.’⠀

Do you have a similar lesson that was passed on to you by a parent, grandparent, coach, teacher, or other leader that has always stuck with you? Please share in the comments below!
