MALE ENTREPRENEURS

MALE ENTREPRENEURS

LESSON #1:

 APPEARANCE

     

In the business world men are expected to dress to address important issues. To show trust, confidence, responsibility and performance. Did you know that how you dressed in high school affects 70% of your after school dress code? Even if you never went to school did you know that the environment where you grew up from will also affect your dress code? Unless you have the exceptional X-factor.

If you never tucked in your shirt at school, or wore your tie properly, chances are you will find it cumbersome and uncomfortable to keep up that dress code. If you were used to re-cycling your shirt say by putting a hankie at the collar or wearing your boxers two days in a row will affect how you appear and hygiene.

Most males say that it’s ok for a man to be untidy and that a woman should be there to clean after them, but I call that laziness and indiscipline. If you had poor showering habit in high school it becomes hard to adapt to a better one if one is a bachelor. Smelling sweat at 7:30am is indiscipline because deodorants are cheap and available plus a necessity. Recycling underwear and clothes is also indiscipline. Having bad breath and alcohol stinking breath is indiscipline. Smelling cigarette smoke is indiscipline and no one will take you seriously. So my brothers watch you hygiene we need well kempt and disciplined entrepreneurs.

TIPS from: The Top 200 Secrets of Success and the Pillars of Self-Mastery -- Robin S. Sharma

·        In terms of business attire, dark suits (navy blue and charcoal grey) reflect power, sophistication and authority. Have you ever seen a prime minister or president in a tan suit?

·        Be careful about your reputation. If it is good it will take you to the highest of heights. But once tarnished, it will be difficult to retrieve. Always reflect on your course of action.

Never do anything you wouldn't be proud to tell your mother about. Have fun always but temper it with common sense and prudence.
