In an interview with Bill Harris,
Jeff Foxworthy, comedian and tv host,
talks about being on time.
“Musicians aren’t real good
about getting up in the morning.
But you know what’s funny is,
the one who are the best at it
are the successful ones.
The George Straits and the Tim McGraws,
they’re the ones who always call on time.
It’s the new guy
who really needs the exposure
that doesn’t call, you know?”
“It makes you think,
‘There’s a reason George Strait is George Strait.’
I’ve always said about show business,
everybody likes the ‘show’ part,
it’s the ‘business’ part that’s hard.
But the successful ones do both.”
Being on time is part of being a professional
and to be successful long-term
in ANY business,
you have to be a professional.
Even America’s most famous redneck
knows that to be true.
