13169: Measure Twice, Cut Once

The VOHeroes Podcast

Hey there, hero!
My grandfather was a funny, smart cookie. He wasn't a performer, rather my grandfather was a plumber.
I'm not really shocked anymore at how many lessons I learned from him, even though he was a tradesman, about how to execute my occupation and run my business.
One of the basic rules he lived by was to be damn sure he had a measure of a job before he executed the plumbing needed.
He measured, then measured again, just to be sure. Then he cut his pipes. And they always seem to fit perfectly together.
It wasn't hesitancy, it was being sure, and then double sure.
Can you see how you might use this concept in creating your characters and doing your work? Would it be worth it to you take a moment and take a second measure? Let me know in the comments below.
REQUEST: Please join this video's conversation on VOHeroes, where the comments are moderated and civil.
