Do you dress for success? I’m Brian Pombo. The reason why I’m bringing this up today is I am not dressed for success. Welcome back to the Orange Office in Grants Pass, Oregon. Today’s topic is a very simple one, but it’s one that I think gets completely thrown aside nowadays when anything goes and that’s the whole concept of your appearance.<br> <br> <br> <br> How are you appearing and should you always be dressed a certain way? <br> <br> <br> <br> Should you have a uniform, everything else. So we’ve got a real this conversation back and it goes back to one of the first places that I heard about this concept. There was a book that came out in the 80’s called dress for success that is still popular to this day in many circles. And what it talks about is if you dress basically the general idea is if you dress the way that in most people’s minds, how they see a successful person in their mind, a successful business person, successful business man, business woman, if you dress that way, you will automatically have an up in any situation when it comes to business.<br> <br> <br> <br> And I think this is true, a true in principle for the most part, but you have to always keep in mind your audience.<br> <br> <br> <br> The main thing I always take things back to is the who is, who are you trying to reach? Who are you trying to talk to? What are you trying to convince them of? What are you trying to bring to them? Are you trying to convince them that you’re a successful business person? Are you trying to relate with them today? Why am I dressed this way?<br> <br> <br> <br> I’ll come straight down and I’ll tell you how it relates back to what we’re talking about. I got pulled away on every Wednesday. I’m always hanging out with my family, but today I especially got pulled this way and that way and it just ended up in the clothes that I ended up in it.<br> <br> <br> <br> There was no real thought behind it. I oftentimes, when I meet you here, I’ll at least put on a nicer shirt called my hair a little bit time. Didn’t permit today, but it’s okay because I’m talking about it. I’m telling you why I’m dressed this way. I’m telling you why I haven’t shaved yet today. And because of that, it can ease the tension.<br> <br> <br> <br> It can show me to be human and so it serves a purpose too, it’s okay and in any situation that you find yourself in, if you can’t be dressed the exact way you want to be dressed, that’s all right.<br> <br> <br> <br> But don’t ignore it.<br> <br> <br> <br> Address it with your audience, address it with your customers, address it with the people that you’re in front of. If you’re in a business, in any form of business situation, address why you’re in the attire you’re in, why you have shaved or haven’t shaved, what you know, address it.<br> <br> <br> <br> Put it out there just so you could be clear about what’s going on. Now the concept comes up of the uniform. This is a very common thing nowadays and it really got popular when Steve Jobs started talking about the fact that he always just wears blue jeans and a black shirt and the reasons why behind this and other people started successful. People started talking about why they have simplified what they were. Initially someone would think, well, okay, well that puts them in a specific uniform for their audience.<br> <br> <br> <br> They know what to expect.<br> <br> <br> <br> They see that person wearing that and it’s comforting to think about it in that, in those senses.
