Dress for Success - The Winning Uniform for Successful Business

Have you ever noticed the new ’style’ these days? It isn’t very appropriate for the office, and if you’re over 32 with eyes of blue you probably aren’t impressed by the latest HIP styles. They look rediculous!

Now that I’ve pissed off every kid on the block, I want to get to the point.

I work in an industry where you don’t see the marketers on a daily basis, they call you on the phone. However, I’ve noticed a difference between the marketers who come into the office dressed for the office and those who come in dressed for the skate park. Those who come in wearing business casual attire fitting for office wear, make more money. They sell more, they accomplish more during the day, and they get more done than the boys and girls who come in looking like they were going out to play for the day. When they go home from work for the day, the ones who came dressed for success have been resourceful, sure footed, confident and goal oriented at getting the job done.

 The others? Well, they spent the day pulling up their pants, pulling down their shirts, and worrying about how to get their jobs done. The differences show up again on pay day. Those who aren’t ready to work get slacker paychecks that won’t buy them the success they wanted.

Those who are ready for work, not only earn more, they manage their money better, they enjoy their jobs, and they move up the ladder faster to management positions where they have even more money to manage better. If you’re getting ready to take on a new job, or you already have a job, dress for success and you will achieve it.

What Color is Success?

“What color is success?” my son asked on a sunny warm day as we walked hand in hand to the park down the street.

“Today, it’s blue.” I smiled, looking up at clear blue skies, enjoying the light breezes that ruffled my hair and reminded me that winter may not be completely over.

“I like when success is blue,” he smiled back, a toothless grin that would remind me forever of child hood, simple moments, and freedom to just be a mommy.

We walked in silence for a moment.

 ”Mommy, is that why in the background of money, it’s kind of blue?” He asked.

“Maybe,” I agreed. “I suppose it could be.”

“Daddy says money makes us successful.” He stopped to pick up a rock to add to the pocket collection. He had several already in his pockets.

“I think money, like memories, can be a measure of success,” I agree nodding, “but more than that, I believe that how much you are loved measures your success.”

We walked further. Silence became non-existent as the kids from the park screamed and laughed. He joined his friends and I walked around the path that circled the playground several times along with other Mom’s who came for their daily walk out. On my last round, my son took my hand about half way around and joined me, walking off the playground as I finished my walk.

“Mom, I think you must be really successful, because I love you a really lot!” His blue eyes looked up at me as he said it, and I knew the color of success truly is BLUE!
