Being early is a trait I have noticed in many successful people.

I was doing a presentation at a breakfast event where a very successful entrepreneur/executive was my guest.

I went to the event very early to set up and get ready. When I reached the site my guest was already there! He was on the phone speaking to his client.

Upon reflection I gathered the beauty of being early:

1. It beats traffic.
2. It creates stress free driving.
3. It beats any hiccups - traffic jam, road blocks, accidents.
4. You are relaxed and ready for the event.
5. It allows you time to reflect and rejuvenate.
6. It allows you to network effectively.
7. Once you are at your destination, there's nothing to stop you from catching up on your phone calls, emails via blackberry, or planning.

If you are going somewhere aim to go early. It is not a waste of time; in fact, it ends up being time less wasted!
