Hello readers, sorry I did not write any article on Monday and Tuesday. Well, I am back now. Today, I will be writing about the benefits of timeliness. In business, one of the key factors that lead to success is timeliness. You create a good impression when you are on time and a bad one when you are not on time. Let's us be realistic, you cannot always be on time 100% of the time but at least 80% and that is good enough.

- When you are on time, it builds the confidence individuals have in you, as such they will be willing to do business with you.

- When you are on time, it gives you a competitive advantage over your competitors.

- When you are on time, it makes you feel good and you should be grateful to Allah, come on you know how it feels when you are late. You are much more confident when you are on time. So you are able to deal with business transactions efficiently and effectively.

- When you are on time for a business meeting or a job interview. You feel more relaxed and it helps set your mind in the right state.

- When you are on time it also shows individuals that you respect them.

Planning before taking actions helps you become timely.

Your business should be halal. Everything should be done for the sake of Allah. Part of doing something for the sake of Allah means hoping for a reward from Him (in this life and the Hereafter). Everything happens according to the will of Allah (you are responsible for your actions cause you have freewill).

Halal means anything lawful Islamically.
