As a veteran of doing small business the hard way and only in my early stages of developing inter-linked systems for my small business, I am rapidly learning the importance of a holistic approach to business systems thinking.
What you write about dress is quite pertinent.
What we wear in our small business defines to those we interact with how we perceive ourselves and our commitment to our business.
It’s 11:38pm but I’m still in suit pants and business shirt, because I’m still in my home office.
On Wednesday I interviewed and hired a new administrative assistant for my business. I did so in my home office.
I could easily have stayed in my track suit and old jumper, after all its my home this young man came to.
But I am taking my small business seriously, treating it as if I am the CEO of a multinational corporation.
Before his arrival, I showered, shaved, dressed in a suit and tie and met him with a sense of purpose, poise and commitment to excellence that I doubt I would have felt or presented had I stayed in the tracky dackies (Australian for track suit).
We consciously create our reality through our thoughts and we consciously create other people’s perception of us through how we present ourselves with our grooming and sartorial selections.

Hi Lindy, @Entregreeneur here.

We consciously create our reality through our thoughts and we consciously create other people’s perception of us through how we present ourselves with our grooming and sartorial selections.
And those are my thoughts for the moment.
good evening,
