I'm quite surprised other countries culture is similar to Malaysian culture where they say they are coming in 10 minutes but arrive 1 hour later haha.
To me I believe we need to fix ourselves first before we see the bad in others. Personally, I have fix my bad habits like lying to people saying im on the way but just got out of bed.
These days whenever I say im gonna do something I tell them the timeline when im going to accomplish what I promised. I don't use the word promise because promises is useless these days no one keep their promises.
So I change it to 'you can trust my words' I have practice it for years and it worked but of course you need to implement it.
But most of the time I will tell them I will do it but I am so busy im not sure when i can if possible please ask someone else to do it. I only promise if im 100% sure i can deliver my word to them.
Hope that helps

Dear @ragnarhewins90
I am Venezuelan but I was raised with the punctuality of the English. And that always helps me for all entrepreneurship, and you're right, we must first fix ourselves to be able to demonstrate what we are worth. I consider myself a man of my word and say NO, when I know I can not, so I do not have that problem of lying to make someone feel good just for a moment.
I consider myself a man of my word, I was raised under those principles.
I am very grateful for your comment. Greetings from Venezuela
