Your decision in life is very important and timely. The time difference between success and failure is some milliseconds. It might not take you more than 5 minutes to stop being a poor man and start being a rich man. It is very important you care yourself well and present yourself in the best way you could do it. Never underestimate a moment you see as an opportunity to launch your brand to the world.
That might just be the last thing for you to do to make your brand public and your toil success. Never underestimate people, no matter how short, small or not well dressed they are. People's value are not equal to the price of clothes they wear; it is an empty barrel that makes the loudest noise. You can learn one or two things from this story;
It was a sunny afternoon, in a commercial part of a country in Africa was a big company across 10,000 acres of land. Mr Duck was sent to pick a man from light house which is 5 minutes drive from Mr Ducks current location.
"Hey! Duck!! Mr X is in light house waiting for a pick-up. Go now and bring him here"
Alright sir, What.......... "shut up! don't question me, just go"
Enters into the 2019 SUV and rode off. Very close to light house was a popular rich man talking to one of the security guard of light house. The security Guard pointed at Mr Duck upon sighting him and saying, "that is him......"
Oh! Thanks

Always know your brand more than anyone else. Always have an idea about what you sell; advertising your business depends on your presentation power; even in an interview, they might just ask you to introduce yourself or sell yourself, this is the best moment to talk about the great things you have done, the jobs you have accomplished.
