A very large part of the excellence of owning my own business is the flexibility that it affords me! This flexibility applies to so many things (which I am sure I will cover in future posts) and includes what I can wear to my home office on my work days. In winter my uggies are a staple and in summer it's flip flops all the way. Fantastic. However, when I leave my office to go to a meeting, pick the kids up from school, do a few jobs in town - I dress up! I put on my best work clothes (i've collected a pretty nice corporate wardrobe over the years) and replace the uggies / flip flops with a pair of heels.
I can't tell you how many people notice this. Almost every day that I am wearing my "work clothes" I am asked whether I work and what kind of work I do. Cue - elevator pitch - "I have my own small business providing affordable marketing solutions to other small businesses."
So there you go - the simple act of dressing up gets me noticed and starts conversations that could in turn lead to future clients. And that's what marketing is all about!

I think the stockings really set the look off, Jane. I hope your Jimmy Choos are still getting worn occasionally :-)Holly M
ReplyDeleteVery impressive Jane, wearing heels to pick the kids up is very posh spice! I have great plans to dress up and look the part but it never quite happens. Soph Hansen x
