People ask me how in four years of business did we work with the NFL for 3 of the last 4 Super Bowls, and provide systems for Walt Disney World, BMW and the Republican National Convention.
I tell them one principle I’ve always stuck with is to always put my best foot forward. Back when I was my only employee, I started thinking about where I wanted to be in the future and decided that I wanted to be one of the industry leaders that I should look like I belonged. So I decided that I should look and act and dress like them from day one.
There were many, many times in the beginning that I felt foolish dressing up and going to an empty office with no appointments. But then I started noticing that if I looked like I was going somewhere then I was more motivated to find somewhere to go that day. I started attending networking and other meetings every day and started running into my future customers on a regular basis.
I kept this same principle for all employees I hired and for our website and every promotional item we produced. When we provided a system for our first Super Bowl we had been in business for less than a year but you wouldn’t have known that by the way we presented ourselves.
I encourage all small businesses to picture how they want to look and operate in the future and to start doing that now. If you think, look and act small then that’s all you’ll ever become!
