T-Shirts And Jeans

In talking to a friend the other day, I had mentioned that in working “Survival Jobs” to fund my business, the thing that hurt me the most was how I looked.

He seemed shocked.

I said, “You know t-shirts and jeans are more ‘me’ than a shirt and tie, but good luck with trying to rise to the top of the corporate ladder with that.”

“That isn’t where you want to be anyway,” he responded. I said, “I know, I just want to make more money to be able to fund my own business.” “I understand,” my friend said, “but also understand that this dislike for how you are treated by how you look, may ALSO be the fuel that you need to succeed in running your own business, and helping others with that same problem.”
