Greater Confidence
When discussing clothing, we may argue, "It's what's inside that really counts." This is true but the eyes of men and women look on the surface before they ever find out what's inside. When we look at ourselves in the mirror, we either see a professional or a novice. This is initially determined by what we are wearing.
We live in a world where we must sell our image before we can sell our products or enter into higher business relationships. To do that, we must believe in ourselves. If we don't believe that we are winners, nobody else will. Dressing appropriately for occasions will elevate our self-image and our confidence.
If you don't have loads of money like Donatella Versace, start with buying just one nice business suit or outfit. Use it for important occasions and you will feel successful when it counts.
It's amazing how much more capable people feel when they are dressed nicely rather than looking shabby.Confident people gain the confidence of those around them. Victoria Beckham, in Milan, would have certainly felt more confident and beautiful in her Versace outfit than her little black dress !
It's true, clothes don't make you, but they will certainly build your confidence, leading to greater self-worth and more pleasurable life experiences!

Greater Contacts
It's important for you to spend time with people who are wealthier than you. Dressing for Success opens doors for you to mix with a more affluent circle of influence!
Many years ago when I discovered the principle of building my net worth I purposely got to know people who had more money than I did. I still do this today! They continually challenge me to rise up to a greater level!
Look at the people you are friends with. If you are the wealthiest person in your circle you will find that you may not be growing to a new level financially. Each of us needs contacts that are ahead of us to spur us on!
Why not go out and get a wealthy friend. Not because you are hoping that they'll bail you out of your present financial crisis. Get a wealthy friend to teach you some financial sense. Then you can bail yourself out of your crisis!
If you don't know where to meet wealthy people go to a chamber of commerce city meeting, buy a ticket to a charity event, get involved in a business breakfast, a toastmasters function, go to exclusive clothing stores ,or research using the internet. You'll find someone if you explore! When you go to an event, make sure you are well dressed. Your clothing will be the first (and quickest) step to helping you fit in.
One of the most wonderful things about hanging around wealthy people is gaining greater insight and wisdom. I firmly believe that if I can learn from someone else's mistakes then I can avoid unnecessary set backs. This saves me time, effort, money and preserves my self-esteem. Success rubs off! If you spend time with a wealthy friend you will begin to see, speak, think and act like a wealthy person.
Successful people have success stories to share, just like Victoria Beckham, who met Donatella Versaceand was inspired to another level of living! She now has her own clothing line!
Advice has great value if it comes from someone who is more successful than us. You can learn about what's hot on the market, what's making money and what's booming. You never know when you will suddenly make a great contact, as you are dressed for success. Amazing opportunities may even come your way! If you look the part, others will be more likely to include you in their circle of success to influence your life!
