The itinerary for the seminar said - 'Arrive for 9am - Starting at 9.30am'
I arrived at 9.20.
Everyone was already sat around the meeting table waiting for.... me.
About 7 attendees and 2 hosts.
7 people who came to find out about selling their multi-million £ turnover businesses. Guys that have been grafting for years.
I only attended because I knew the host from a networking event and I have a small business I want to offload. (I inherited it, kept it running and now it's a ball & chain). Turnover just shy of 6 figures.
I was 'late' and among people far more successful than me (to date).
The caliber of the people didn't really bother me. My time-keeping did.
I know if I'd arrived at 9, or before, it would have made all the difference. An opportunity to introduce myself & chat etc. Who knows what could have happened.
Having to walk into a room with everyone already seated, waiting to get things started. That was embarrassing. I didn't even bother trying to make excuses. Nobody would have cared. I just apologized, sat down and kept quiet.
Not only was it embarrassing, it was an opportunity completely wasted.
I wouldn't recommend it. In fact, if you have to be ANYWHERE, go to bed early, get up early, leave with plenty of time to spare and get there EARLY!!
