Today's wealth principle ......

"DEVELOP THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SUCCESS" - 'To get rich and stay that way, develop the following characteristics: a positive attitude, integrity, ....."

So what do you think are the rest of the characteristics of success? Ya know, I bet some people will think this sounds so superficial but I have come to realize it's true. So here goes. How many times have we all heard that you must dress for success? If I have heard it once I have heard it a thousand times. Now I actually believe it. With my roots as an artsy type, singer songwriter etc I have often gone for the comfort of jeans and t shirts when off to the studio, the grocery, or around town errands. I have also thought that if someone was looking at my clothes and make-up (or lack there of) to see who I really am or what I am really capable of then I didn't want to do business with them anyway. Right? Have you ever heard yourself think that?

We have all run into someone once in our life that looked incredible and carried themselves like a winner only to find that the pretty package was kinda empty inside. I wonder why, in the past, I have felt that inner substance came in mocassins, gauze skirts, long ponytailed hair and yin yang bumper stickers. Ya know - the tree hugger type. (Allow me to be clear - I like the tree huggin' types, the skirts, etc and inside I am one of them. I have just decided to be less obvious in my appearance. A closet tree hugger you might say.) Here is what I have found: when you walk into the meeting looking like a fashionable business woman, clothes, well styled hair, professional make-up, etc people are listening differently when you tell them it's about the trees. I don't know why, it doesn't really matter- it just is.

So here is what I think: Dress for success AND be the person of inner substance. I think that might be a characteristic of success. What are your thoughts? Characteristics of success?
