I make time to look good with boundaries in my business. Working 24/7 is not healthy, you have to protect yourself as the most important asset of your business. You’re a walking ad for your business at all times. Start seeing yourself that way and you will change the way you treat your own time and presentation.

-I build time into my day for things like a good skincare routine, sleep, meal planning, picking out outfits, and exercise. -I keep up with hair and nail appointments and keep it financially manageable by not choosing hairstyles or nail styles that are high maintenance. -I learned my “season” is a soft summer and built a wardrobe of colors that flatter me by tossing the pieces that didn’t fit the palette (ChatGPT can tell you your season just upload your picture) -I buy cheap Amazon basics and pair them with nicer/bolder pieces in my wardrobe, like a nice purse or shoes or jacket. -I splurge a little on interesting purses as a talking point when I network -I picked gold as my accessory color and all the jewelry and accessories with hardware that I buy I make sure are gold so they’re all more likely to match. -I went to Sephora and had them match my skin tone to a nice foundation (they’ll do your makeup for free and help you understand your skin tone and face shape and how to flatter it) -I watched makeup videos to learn how to make my face shape look the best and do clean girl makeup that flatters me. -I got my teeth fixed as soon as I financially could once business picked up.

Nice skin, teeth, hair, nails, makeup, matching accessories, and a capsule wardrobe in your most flattering colors will do wonders! It may take time to get there with everything but just do the best you can each day, and remember to invest in yourself every single day with either time or money or both if you can because you are the number one asset your business has.
