Right smack dab in the beginning of the 4 hour work week, there's a section about making sure you feel good about yourself. Confidence to continue on your path. It's really true, I see it daily.
So I live in this snotty little area in the middle of the Bay Area. I have a scruffy look about me to say the least. I tend to keep my hair in some sorta Phou Hawk. Jeans are usually baggy and dragging, and all cut up on the bottom. Love me Converse shoes of color. You get the picture. Now, I have two cars. One is a lowered perfect condition Corvette convertible. Very nice ride to say the least. The other is a 1987 Toyota Corrola. I love this little car. Zippy, great on gas, SUPER easy to park and drive. Now, each morning I head to the local Peets coffee to get my morning coffee and interaction with PEOPLE, that are not inside a small little window in the right-hand corner of my screen, and they don't blink when they talk. As I pull up the over all response and FEELING is SOOOO completely different from car to car. With my image, when I get out of the Toyota people look at me as if I'm a complete loser. Which oddly makes me feel as such. I park next to the nice Benz, and the Porsche and just feel ill of myself. No confidence at ALL.. The number ONE rule of business is confidence. You must have CERTAINTY. Carry yourself with class, conviction and style. CERTAINTY.
Now- enter taking the Vette to coffee. I am instantly a hit. The older women find me nothing but interesting (trust me, I have reflective surfaces in my house, Depp is safe). People want to talk with me. I'm now interesting, and that breeds internal confidence. I FEEL like I have the answers, therefore I do. I have CERTAINTY.... Money meets money. Ideas meet ideas. If you want the answers to the business climate. Look like you fit in, and you'll meet others in that community. The Rich scoff at the poor, and would never talk to a poor person about there business. The speak with PEERS.. Looks as though you fit with them, or better, look like YOU ARE THE SHIT, and have answers THEY DON'T... Interest THEM in talking with you... THAT IS WHY.. you look like what you want !!!
