Many of the people who get to run businesses or organisations or sports teams, or charities get to do that because they're 'entrepreneurial', whatever entrepreneurial seems to mean.
Certainly, one of the things it means is that they are not steady and consistent; they like to jump around, new ideas, new projects, fast, energetic, high-octane.
This works well, particularly when you have an organisation that will follow up behind you. However, one of the key superpowers to learn (and this is well-researched and presented in many places) is consistency.
Being able to turn up when you say, well, organise schedules and meetings and projects and do the things you're supposed to do close to on time in a way that people can trust and expect and rely on compounds over time.
The compounding nature of consistency is enormous, and therefore, setting up the start of your project and putting structures for meetings, agendas, minutes, and outcomes in place creates value.
It's easy these days, isn't it, to jump and jump and jump. The new things are much more exciting than the boring, old, consistent things, but there's a balance to be struck between development, agility, and consistency.
Turning up reliably (one of the things that I found the hardest to integrate into my life) is without a doubt one of the truest superpowers of all.
Re-examine yourself and your behaviours. How reliable are you? How much can people trust you? Because if you're playing the long game, it's gold.
