Image is as Image does

I know the routine, a deep gaze into the mirror with a squared jaw grin, chest sticking out while you spend 10 minutes creating that oh so perfect "just crawled out of bed" hair-do. When a man sees himself in the mirror he sees a reflection of who he thinks he is, not who he actually is.

We all know that our image is what others perceive us to be rather than who we perceive ourselves to be. Do not mistake this for confidence for confidence is being deeply rooted in your psychological identity which manifests into your very existence. Image is creating the persona of who you are regardless of your career, ambitions, or social status. Through out history we have seen examples of men who have created the blueprint for Image. Men who are politicians, entrepreneurs, athletes and your everyday gentleman. 

1.Be ambitious, nothing can seem more unappealing than someone who has no drive. Whether you have the face of George Clooney with the finances of Richard Branson, a man who desires to go no where will be a man that will end up no where (important)

2. Know where you stand, be a man of tradition. Understand the elements of what define you and stay true ti them. Whether it is the style of your dress to economics issues that concern you. Be a man who will not be swayed by the winds of conformity. Be the last tree in the forest that refuses to be cut down.

3. Embrace yourself and be youthful. Exhibiting vitality is not about covering up your age but is all about bringing fresh new energy into everything you do. The way I see it, if your 35 years of age. You have the ability to be 35X times better than those junior yo you.

4. Invest in yourself. Consider yourself to be the most expensive piece of real estate that exists. I'm sure you take your Audi in for scheduled maintenance on a regular basis. So make sure that you are maintaining your self mind, body and spirit. Because before you even walk up to shake someones hands, they have already deiced whether they like you or not.
