Appearing professional

This is mainly dedicated to someone with a business interview but is important for any formal occasion. Basically there are certain rules that you should follow to be taken seriously.

  1. Dress nicely. I’m talking ironed collard shirt and khaki pants. No shorts, stained shirts, or  pants with holes.
  2. Clean up. Take a shower and shave. Don’t forget deodorant, and remember nothing ruins a interview quicker than B.O.
  3. Use grammar. Don’t use  ain’t, cuz, dog, or anything like that. (But don’t use big words that you don’t know the meaning of.)
  4. Appear organized have everything that you need. (Pencil and paper!)
  5. Sit straight and have respect. NO gum.

With these 5 rules you can succeed.

what to do if some one tell you you’re to young

Well if you have a business or are looking in to stock or anything like that sooner or later someone is going to say “well you’re a little young for that.”  Don’t be discouraged. It is going to happen, but be glad that your doing something that a lot of people didn’t expect you could do. Through out history a lot of famous people were between 12-17. Here our some examples. 

  •  Some of the disciples were 12-17
  • Most Native American tribes started their trained to be warriors at 10 
  • Their was a pharaoh that ruled over all Egypt at 12
  • In some 3rd world countries 13 years-old know how to use a AK-47

 

And their are more, if you know of any tell me. If kids like that could do some of the things up their then seeing what kind of market we’re in suddenly seams like child’s play. (no punt intended, well it kind of was) And it is the perfect reason to do your reserch and know about business that way you prove not only can you do it but you have.

Why Apologize?

Apologizing is something that is pretty important these days. Not apologizing could lead to:  

Losing friends

Messing up business deals

Make people not like you and then if this happens thin their less likely to use your product.

While apologizing could:

Make you friends

Cause people to want to make deals more often

Cause people to want to buy your product just because they like you.

Now for the most important, how to apologize.

You want to have a good attitude or you look like your being forced. Tell them what you did wrong and just say sorry and kinda of joke around (don’t joke around about the person just kinda of make fun of yourself).  This is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT never say something wrong the person did,  or say ”but” because that contradicts the entire apoligy. I’ll give you an example of how I did it this week.

 ”Dude I’m sorry I called you short. I’m pretty short too.”

 I think that forgiving is important. 

Don’t say anything is Unforgivable because It says in Philippians 4:13, I can do anything through HIM who gives me strength.” That includes forgiving. I’ve read books about  matadors who forgave their torturers so I think that not returning your favorite CD is forgivable.
