In 2025, can simply delivering on what you promised make you exceptional?
Todayâs episode is part rant, part reminder. I share the saga of Chrisâs 1979 Pontiac Trans Am restoration â from the iconic âscreaming chickenâ sticker disaster to the stereo shop that ghosted us â plus a Mount Coot-tha coffee queue that had me questioning how businesses set (or donât set) expectations.
Hereâs what we cover:
⢠Why the bar for âexceptionalâ seems lower than ever
⢠How meeting deadlines and specs still puts you in the top 20%
⢠Why honest, timely communication is everything
⢠The real damage of poor expectation-setting
⢠Simple fixes to make your clients feel confident in you
Itâs a rant, yes. But also a hopeful reminder: deliver on your promise and youâre already ahead of most.
