With today’s rough and tough economy, it’s even more important to pay extra special attention to your appearance. I know this sounds crazy, but most of us spend a third of our lives at work. Uh, that is a lot of time, people. Many of us see our co-workers more than we see our own families. Pretty sad, but completely true, so why not spend that third of your life dressed appropriately? Why not leave a fashionable footprint wherever you go?
Here is a fun little fact: In the work force, your hair and face are the first things that employers and clients notice…then wardrobe…and this all takes 3 seconds or less! Few people will want to do business with someone who looks grungy, sloppy, and unkempt. The bottom line, it’s just not professional. Don’t let a bad haircut and outdated appearance cost you the job, deal, or promotion. This applies to you too, entrepreneurs!
