“People rarely notice what you’re wearing once they hear you say something that makes their heart sing and gives them hope”. Would You Recognise Them In Their Underwear? I was a bit disappointed when I got my Global1 Newsletter today. Usually I can’t wait to see what John DeMartini has to say, but not today. Here’s a snippet from it. “For example, Dr DeMartini has a rule he must dress like a millionaire every day. Because he’s found when he dresses like a millionaire - he acts like a millionaire…other people treat him like a millionaire. However, one day he was jogging in shorts and T-shirt, and he was looking a bit sweaty and bedraggled. On his way home, he went into an exclusive mens shop to look for a new suit. As he was looking at the most expensive suits, a snotty shop assistant said. “The suits in your price range are over here”… and pointed to the cheaper rails. At first John was shocked – after all, being independently wealthy he could afford to buy the shop many times over. But this episode taught him a valuable lesson. People treat you, as they see you. Perception is reality. So Annie start speaking, dressing, and acting as the prosperous, successful, Visionary Leader you are. And the perception will become reality – sooner than you can imagine.” The reason why this disappointed me is that I spend my life teaching people that how we look and what we wear is ‘not important’. I know this because I used to spend a fortune on clothes, hung around in the ‘hot spots’ and ate at the best restaurants, but you know what? Back then I had no self-esteem and was told that this was the ‘only way’ to impress people. The reality is that other people’s opinion of us does not define who we are. Billionaire Richard Branson is a perfect example of this. Worth around $4.2 billion, is a man who’s ‘made it’ even bigger then John De Martini, yet his laid-back manner, casual clothes and can-do attitude has made him not only fabulously rich and famous, but also a man people at all levels can connect with. My question is could you recognise John and Richard in their underwear? Of course you could, which makes my point. Clothes, and how we look do not maketh man or woman, they can very often divide and intimidate people already segregated by class, wealth, power and belief systems. happiness-beyond-belief
