Building confidence; why appearance is important

Posted by Dawn Lawrence on November 27, 2009 at 1:26pm

The amount of times I’ve sat in my office ready to interview a potential candid for a position only to be put off as soon as the person enters the room. Either it has been what they were wearing attire totally inappropriate for the interview, or their body language was the opposite of what they were saying or the hygiene was a total no no!It is said that we make judgements of one another in the first 30 seconds of meetingDo you know that how we look effects the way we feel? It’s true if you don’t look the part you won’t feel the part. That’s why looking good is so important, because quite simple we are what we feel!When you begin dressing like a CEO; long before you ever become a CEO you begin feeling like one! That’s simply because you started dressing like one. The people who say how we dress is unimportant, are people who are afraid of total achievement. Very few people would put their trust in someone who says they are one thing, but their attire the opposite. If appearance was unimportant as some would have us believe, companies like Mac Donald’s, Tesco, Virgin... the list is endless, wouldn’t spend millions on creating an image.If I were given a penny for the number of times people have mistaken me for an executive long before I became one, because of my appearance, I would have tidy sum today. Indeed appearance is not everything but it is a key ingredient to success.Dressing the part, even though you may not be the part (as yet) goes a long way in not just convincing others that you have what it takes to do what say you are able to do; but in giving you a sense of self belief.Just as we generally trust someone in uniform, people generally trust some one who has spent a bit of time and thought on their appearance. Looking about or after your appearance says something about you. It says you care, you’re willing and able, and you’re passionate about what it is you are going for. You’re not laid back or complacent, but you’re positive, committed and forward thinking.Now you may not agree with any of the above, but the fact still remains the better your appearance the better you feel, the better you feel the more able you are, the more able you are, the better your chance of success. Indeed it easy to feel fit for the task if you’re aptly dressed for the task. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying appearance solves all the challenges you will face in starting and running your own business but it sure will help you find the confidence, self esteem and authority to.Here are a few appearance tips:1. Always pop into the bathroom to have a quick look in the mirror before entering a meeting.2. Wear shirts and or ties, suits, waist coats, skirts and blouses or trousers, but never jeans to any business interaction3. If you wear clothes which are bright in colour ensure you wear another colour to temper the bright colour4. Wear clothes which are colour co-ordinated5. Create a look that’s smart but comfortable for you6. Women need to ensure they do not wear heels over 2 ½ - 3 inches high.7. Foot wear should always be need to be clean8. Hair should be clean, neat not too colourful. Long hair should be well groomed and or tied back/up.9. Wear clothes that fit and compliment your size; not too tight, not to large, not too revealing10. Dress appropriately for the occasion11. Limit the amount of jewellery to a maximum of two rings, a watch and a maximum of two chains.12. Go easy on the cologne or perfume, not everyone has the same taste as you.13. There should be nothing about your appearance; that deflects peoples attention whom you are and what you able to achieve i.e. intrusive facial hair, bad breathe & rotten teeth, body odour, excessive piercings etcDon't dress to kill... dress to succeed

NEW PRICING & NEW LOCATION - Women in Business Work from Home Expo

Posted by Karen on March 27, 2009 at 3:56am

Today, now more than ever, woman-owned businesses are the driving force of the small business sector. However, the current economic situation makes it a bit challenging to participate in marketing events. In answer to this issue, The 5 Second Commute Women in Business Expo has reduced the sponsorship and exhibitor pricing! We are about helping women expand and be successful in their business. We hope that reducing the fee will allow more women to participate in this fun and exciting event!We have changed the venue to the Hilton Garden Inn-Millennium Center in Atlanta, GA near the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. This location is beautiful and convientient to all the major interstates. We feel that this location will better suit the needs of the Women in Business Expo. We are confident that our sponsors, exhibitors and attendees will be delighted with the choice of location.We look forward to seeing you there!The Women in Business Expo Team

The 5 Second Commute "Women in Business Work from Home Expo"

Posted by Karen on February 21, 2009 at 3:30am

Hello My Fellow Entrepreneurs!

Now is your opportunity to participate in an extraordinary event! The 5 Second Commute "Women in Business Work from Home Expo" is different from many other events. Please take a moment to go to our website www.womeninbusinessexpo.com and review all that we have to offer.

This is not only an event that women can come to shop but mainly an event for women to expand their vision and find their "5 Second Commute". Women are taking control of their health, their lives, and their COMMUTE! Women are looking to work from home and build a business on their own terms. Your company could be the only that they get involved with.

Please contact me as soon as possible with any questions so that you can secure your spot. Since there will only be one exhibitor per company (there may be different cosmetic companies but only one exhibitor per company), you want to make sure you are the representative of your company.

There are many opportunities to participate in the expo, even if you are not located in Atlanta. We have a full color Showcase Guide that you can advertise in, as well as Gift Totes that you will be able to insert your information/samples in. We made sure that there was something for everyone.

Please view our website and contact me with any questions that you may have.

Thank you and I appreciate your support!
