TWICE

I can’t count the amount of times I have said and taught these phrases to my teams, my builders, my shop-fitters, my fractional clients, and my kid…
  • Once bitten twice shy.
  • Learn once, forget twice.
  • Measure twice, cut once.
  • To teach is to learn twice.
  • You only live once, so think twice.
  • Fail once…regret. Fail twice…reflect.
  • Twice the courage, twice the growth.
  • It takes twice the effort to undo what was done once.
  • The sad truth is that opportunity doesn’t knock twice.
  • Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
  • We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.


And possibly my most used…

Don’t touch it more than once as you’ll then work more than twice as much.

 

You know what to do. Some twice, some not!
