Does the way we dress affect our level of success? So that's we're going to talk
about today. We've got expert Eugenia here with us to talk about how to dress
for success. Specifically in this episode, men. Alright. So Eugenia, I want to be
successful. Is the way that I dress does it have an impact on my success?
-Absolutely 110%. -Okay, you're very confident. -Why? Why? How come you're so
confident? -Because you have 30 seconds before someone judges you. Well, just
based upon or makes an impression of just based upon the way you're dressed.
It's been noted and it's a fact that when you look sharp and you look the
part that you are more successful and... Unfortunately or fortunately in our
world, that's just the way it is. We are very image driven. So it does
matter, absolutely. -I've got an abstract question
to throw in here. -Okay -So, we're probably going to focus most of
this on like professional success. But let's just because my mind went here. If
I want to succeed in losing weight, will it make sense for me to invest in
exercise clothes that look good? -Absolutely. Do you know why? -Why? -I'll tell
you what. When I put on my Lulu's which is a really cute exercise clothing
company. I feel really cute at the gym. I already
just get out of bed, put a cap on and go to the gym. Let alone, I already feel
somewhat not so cute. And if my clothes are going to be frumpy and baggy then it's
going to be... It's... I'm not going to be as motivated. So, it will motivate me to
exercise, believe it or not. I've had several clients, men and women that it
matters to them how they also show up to the gym.
Because it matters how he makes them feel. So yeah. You don't have to spend
crazy amounts of money but look good when you're exercising. Why not? -Awesome.
So, off-camera, we were kind of talking about there's kind of 2 sides of it.
There's the... What you're wearing then other side. So let's first cover what
you're wearing. So how do you dress to succeed professionally? -So, first you need
to find out what your brand is. Who you are? What's your personal style? And if
you don't have a personal style yet then go figure it out, right? Ask yourself Who
am I? Am I a fun person? Am I a boring person? Am I alive? Am I more... And am I
more subdued? Find out those questions and then one thing that can really help
you figure out what your personal style is, obviously you can hire a wardrobe
stylist. That's probably the most efficient one and safest way to go about
it. But if you don't want to go that route then you can look at people in the
public eye or someone who you emulate publicly. And see... Look at the way that
they're... That they dress. And kind of emulate that. If you're comfortable
with it, right? So, you can go that route. What are
some basic rules that about... About dressing specifically for men? You know,
what are...? What are some things that we can... -So, when you start developing that
personal style and you're starting to buy and investing and a new wardrobe,
make sure that fit is very, very important. So, get your clothing tailored
because everything that you're getting off the rack,
it's made to fit everybody and yet doesn't fit anybody, right?
So, there's... Your body is unique... Is unique. So you need to get things tailored to
you. And if there's one fast rule I always like to follow for men
specifically is make sure your shoes and your belts always match.
Always, always, always. That is the only role I really follow by. Everything else
is, well it depends. -So, I have to say prior to working with
you, Eugenia, I had never considered that. I always just had a black leather belt
and typically I just had athletic shoes.
-Yeah. -Or church shoes or whatnot. But since working with you, I've got a few
different colors of shoes and a few different colors of belts. And it's made
me want to tuck in my my button-down shirts more so that people will notice
that I have matching shoes and belt. It's kind of... It's fun. I'm having fun
with it. -And it showcases your shape too. I think most shirts that are untucked,
they're just too long and you're just going to look frumpy or you're going to look
like you're wearing you know, a garbage bag or something. So tucking things in is
is good. If you don't want to tuck in your shirt
then get shirts that are specifically to be worn untucked. A few other things to
consider outside of the wardrobe, it's not just what you're wearing.
Yes, dressing for success always key. That is a fast rule that I wholeheartedly
believe, right? Have a skin regiment. And I a lot of women do you know, take
care of their skin both day and night more than men. Men aren't as good at this.
So, make sure you're wearing a good sunscreen, a good moisturizer for day and
night. And also eye cream underneath your eyes. Because we do start getting bags as
we age or underneath their eyes or dark circles and or if we are burning the
candle at both ends, right? So, it makes sure that we are taking care of our skin.
Number 2, drinking lots of water. That will also show in your skin. If you're
dehydrated or or hydrated enough. Also, your teeth. Make sure you have good teeth.
When was the last time you asked your your dentist or family dentist if
your teeth look good, right? Or even the shade of your teeth. Nowadays there are
so many different possibilities of whitening your teeth either
professionally or in home kits. So make sure your teeth are not yellow. Make
sure your teeth are nice and sparkly white. Also, you may need braces like me.
For the second time. It's a pain. But you know, I wasn't happy still with my smile.
And this is again, my second time wearing braces. And my smile just was shifting in
my teeth and it was just not attractive. So, sometimes we do have to
have braces again. And get regular cleanings too. Also, your hair. Make sure
it's... It's not dated. And for ladies, sometimes ladies have the same haircut
since high school, right? I think a good rule of thumb is every 5 years to ask
your... Your hair stylist. If you have a really good hairstylist. If something
should be shifted or changed or updated. But yeah. A good haircut. -So we're talking
a lot about... The word that comes to mind is superficial things. And... -Superficial?
-Surface level. Let's just say... -Well, we are talking about how to dress for success.
-We are. And so I mean, we're like... In a in a world where we we don't want to
judge a book by its cover but yet we all do. -We all do. -We all
do and so if we want it, we want to succeed, it's not that the cover is the
most important but the cover is important. -It is. Is it important to you?
How is it important to you, Nate that when you look in the mirror that you
feel good about what you're seeing? -Well, yeah. I mean, I guess, the conversation
I am... Or the point I'm trying to make and this is... Ultimately, I want people to
know what's inside. -Absolutely. -But since I have upgraded my wardrobe,
and upgraded you know, working to upgrade my image, it's helped me... It's helped
position me to help people see what's inside easier. So anyway, I'm really...
-Right. -The reason I guess I bring it up is not
to... Not to be a critic against it but to say, "You know, sometimes if all we talk
about is okay you've got to focus on your hair, you got to focus on your skin,
you got to focus on your clothes." But it really is important. it's just that's not
the end goal. But in a world where we do judge a book by its cover...
-Look at it this way, Nate. What if you are... And this happens. I'm not making this up.
This literally happens. That I have many clients who say, "I am such a wonderful
person. I am so..." And I know they are. They're not... They don't have to say it to
me. The point I'm trying to make is they have so many great talents. They are so
incredible on the inside. But sometimes the world, let's say, doesn't give them a
chance. Because they are being judged based
on their cover, right? Either they look too old or they look too young or they
dress too young or they dress too old. You know? And people either set them
aside or they don't get certain opportunities because what they're
putting outwardly may portray that they don't care. You know, so think of it also
as you... Most people are so wonderful but they don't have sometimes a second
chance because outwardly it's not favorable. Shall we say that? I mean, I
know... And I don't want you to think that I am you know, that I just set people
aside automatically just based on the way they look. Absolutely not. I'm
actually able to set that aside because this is what I do for a living and I
know people's hearts. I mean, I can tell. And with some tweaks here and there, it's
amazing how the true you and the real you just comes out and then you're the
full package. Why not? -Awesome. Yes. So I'll just kind of my own
personal experience and maybe this is even vulnerable. But as I...
I've helped some of my clients achieve great great success on YouTube. And
it's drawn a lot of attention. Saying, "How did you do that?" You know and more
and more people wanted to work with me. And a lot of these people are mega
millionaires. Even making you know, hundreds of millions a year. And was I...
And I look back, it's like, "How do I relate to these people? How?" And that's
part of the conversation I was having back when I when I first started working
with you is you know, I want to dress in a way that I'll just fit in with them
better. That they'll see that the services that I offer that... That there's
just not a disconnect between the way that I'm dressing and the way that I
know how to deliver and perform. -The product you offer and the product you make and the way you
deliver it is outstanding. But if there's a misrepresentation between that and the
way you look, then people sometimes do wonder. Sometimes they do sometimes they
don't. But most importantly is how you feel. Do you want to feel? Do you feel
like the CEO? Do you feel like you know, the hero that you save so many people
and you help them so much which you do, make so much money? Then also look the
part. It comes down to that. -There's also rare examples that are the opposite. And so
that also cause a little confusion. And an example, a YouTuber that I follow that
I really like. His channel is Devin Supertramp. And he wears... He wears
this hat always he's very dressed down in casual yet, he he's kind of an elite
in his category on YouTube. -Now, Devin. That's his brand. -Exactly. -He can pull it off. He
looks good. He's doing it well. That is his brand. I'm not talking about wearing
a suit and a dress and 3-inch heels everywhere you go. That is not what I'm
saying. -What I was trying to do.
-Dressing true to who you are, professionally and personally. -So, in my
mind, I was like, "Well, I want to be... I want to offer this this type of service with
this brand but yet, I want to be different than my brand because..."
I fully agree that that is Devin's brand and I don't think he needs to
change anything about that. But I, in myself I felt, "Oh, I need to dress like
Devin so that I could be this." And that's where there is a disconnect. -Correct. -And
a lot of people... I'm so glad you brought that up because a lot of people think
that way too. They see someone like Devin and they're like, "Oh, for me I'm kind of
doing what he's doing so I need to look just like him." No, there's already one
Devin. Just like there's already one Mark Zuckerberg and I love when people always
bring that up to me as like, "Well, he wears t-shirts and hoodies." And I said,
"Yeah, there's already one of them. It works for him.
That's fine." Doesn't mean that you have to copy him. In fact, he has just recently
shifted that. Because people have been making impressions and have been
criticizing him if you will a little bit on how nonchalant he has been
dressing. So he has even... He has shifted up. But nonetheless. -Well, it goes back to
a conversation that we talked about in another video that you want to search
for. We talked about how it's important to be true to yourself and to to accept
who you are not compare yourself to others. -Correct. -That if I'm going to up my
image or up my brand or up my wardrobe, it's not so that I can compete with
somebody else or be like somebody else. It's really just to bring out the best
me. -Yeah, that's right. at the end of the day, every single day, you want to be the
best version of yourself no matter what. -Awesome. Thanks Eugenia. -You're welcome, thank
you. -Well, thank you for watching this episode. You watch all the way to the end
