The #1 Reason You Need a Signature Look

What you wear can influence your chances of business success.

Here’s Why You Need a Signature Look…

…Your Signature Look will affect your brand as perceived by others,

But,

More Importantly,

It will MAKE YOU MORE PRODUCTIVE!

  • You feel fulfilled and happy
  • You’re able to reach your goals and dreams – because productivity means that things that seemed impossible in the past are happening!

Designing a Signature Look is a very creative process that expresses your personality and suits your lifestyle.

 

Here are The Five Components of a Signature Look.

I. (Impact with color) – wear colors that make you look and feel younger – AVOID colors that cause you to look tired and your skin blotchy.

M. (Master your fit) – wear clothes that fit your body silhouette and proportion – AVOID clothes that cause you to look bigger and just add pounds.

A. (Add Accessories) – wear accessories that harmonize with your personal style – AVOID wearing too many accessories and looking like a fashion victim.

G. (Glam it up!) (Hair & Makeup) – wear a hairstyle that flatters your face shape & makeup that enhances your beauty – AVOID outdated styles and looks.

E. (Eat Clean & Exercise) – Learn to love your body and then make it BETTER! – KNOW your body type and its guidelines. Not every style suits every body type.

Bottom Line – Your clothes influence your performance.

How to Narrow Your Niche – The Perfect Elevator Pitch

Are you tired of being the best kept secret?

Have you ever had a friend, or someone from your networking group give a referral to someone else because they didn’t realize EXACTLY what you do?

Ouch!

When I first started going to networking events and giving my 30 second (elevator speech), I sounded like a drunk cowboy.

I uhhhhh… my name is…. ummmm, I help anybody….”

Honestly, the most painful 30 seconds of the day. (for me and I’m sure, for my audience)

Listen…I WANT to be my own boss.  I WANT to help people.

After all, I’ve got tons of credentials, mad skills and a bubbly personality! ! !

I feel like EVERYBODY could benefit from my products and/or my services.

My problem… I was marketing to the masses, and it wasn’t until I narrowed my niche that I found my perfect clients, my confidence and constant cash flow!

So next time you are at a networking event, talking to a stranger in the grocery line (prospecting at Publix), or at a party and someone asks you, “What do you do?”,

Do This.

Say, ” Hi, My name is _________________(say it sllllooowly),

I help __________(specifically WHO you help),

_____________________(exactly WHAT you help them do)!

That’s it.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

Wait for their Reaction, Comment or Question.

Your Perfect Clients will Self-Select and your friends will know exactly what you do and they will be excited to give you referrals!

Here’s What a Successful Group Looks Like:

  1.  Be very specific with the group theme.   The more niche-specific, the BETTER.

By sharing relevant content, and engaging in useful conversation, you are able to tap directly into your target audience.

DRESS CODES 101: For Self-Employed Women

Congratulations!  You’re self employed.  No more dress codes.  You get to wear whatever you want!

BE CAREFUL!!!

As women entrepreneurs working in a highly complex and competitive society, you must recognize and understand the impact of your appearance as it communicates first to you and then to others.

What you wear and the way you look affects:

  1. the way you think,
  2. the way you feel,
  3. the way you act or behave, and then
  4. the way others react or respond to you.

A couple of years ago, I was invited to a Cinco de Mayo party at a private home.  I didn’t see the invitation (I was somebody’s “plus one”).

I was anticipating margaritas, some tacos, and chips with salsa.

I wore my favorite faded jeans and a casual top.  I threw on a “fancy shmancy” statement necklace, just because, I’m random like that.  It was my version of Mexican Chic 🙂

BUT!  I was mortified when I arrived at the house party and discovered it wasn’t just a casual get-together with tacos and tequila…

It was a FULL BLOWN business networking event with vendors,

a Chef in the Kitchen preparing fresh seafood (tacos) and a

Bar with Bubbly Bartenders serving specialty drinks!

I was NOT at the proper DRESS CODE level.

I was embarrassed for myself (and the woman that invited me).  I felt irrelevant, insecure and inferior.

I wanted to crawl inside my jumbo “jalapeno margarita”… and die.

That night I promised myself I would never, ever, be below dress code level again!

Can you relate?

Here are FOUR Types of DRESS CODES to help you avoid a dress code disaster and dress appropriate for the occasion:

FOUR Types of DRESS CODES

  1. Casual.  Pull out your favorite jeans!  You can opt for a comfortable tee or dress things up with a stylish top, jewelry or even a blazer.  Footwear – Can range from sneakers to heels to boots.
  2. Business Casual.  Dress pants or khakis with a fashionable top is appropriate.  A casual skirt is also an option.  Feel free to dress up your outfit with heels, jewelry and/or accessories.  Hair and Makeup everyday style.
  3. Business.  Wear a business suit or a business style dress with heels (high or low).  Tip:  Stick to business colors:  black, navy blue, gray or brown.  (Knowing your best business color is vital so you don’t look tired, old or sick)
  4. Smart Casual.  Smart Casual (or dressy casual) is basically a combination of casual, business casual, and business dress codes, where you can combine them into a “smart” ensemble.  It’s safest to go with nice slacks or a skirt, though you could also wear a nice pair of dark jeans dressed up with a collared or otherwise dressy top.  Throw on a blazer for an extra touch of class.  For Smart Casual, you should look sharp, stylish and neatly put together.

I’ve come a long way since my dress code disaster – As for me, I believe blazers are the answer for all occasions!

I challenge you to become more aware of how your clothing and grooming affect the way you think, the way you feel, the way you act, and the way others react to you.

How to Look Your Best on Video

Are you hesitating to get on facebook LIVE and do video presentations because you don’t like the way you look?

Are you nervous about the extra 10 pounds the camera adds, and so you’re waiting until you lose weight?

Do you think your hair & makeup need to be professionally done?

Or maybe you’ve bought into that whole “It shouldn’t matter what I look like – people should like me for me, not because of how I look” trend?

And you’re right.

You absolutely do not have to take extra care to present your “best self” UNLESS….

You want to Stand Out,

Be Memorable and

Be the go-to Expert!

The truth is:

How you look and what you wear has a big impact on how you will be perceived by your viewing audience.

In other words, Your Personal Appearance matters!

Here’s the GOOD NEWS, Your style is perfect for you.

You want your viewers to spend more time looking at your face (and hearing your message) than staring at or being distracted by your clothes in your video presentations.

Taking extra care to present your “best self” ensures that the way you “look” meets the expectations of your target audience and builds your credibility.

Here are Three Vital Tips to help you dress for success in your video presentations.

  1. Your Makeup.  Your makeup application needs to be applied “heavier” than you would normally use in daily life.  (The camera & lights can really diminish or wash out your features, so it’s vital to have the most expressive features on your face defined and framed properly).
  2. Your Hair.  Have a good hair day!  If your hair is flat or frizzy it can affect your performance.
  3. Your Clothes.  Wear comfortable clothes and what you feel you look the best in.  If you are comfortable then you will be confident.

BONUS!

The camera doesn’t like black or white patterns.  Solid colors look best and highlight your figure. (Make sure you’re wearing the right hue – complementing your skin tone).  Yes, the camera can add pounds and certain cuts are better for your figure.

NOW you can get on video anytime, anywhere and Never Be Nervous Again!

NOW is the time for you to stop hiding and overcome your fear and deliver dynamic video presentations!

Your clients are LOOKING for you!!!

Create a Signature Look – Training Course

 

LIFE is a Fashion Show…

The World is your RUNWAY!

…So always dress your best and walk with Confidence.

-COCO CHANEL

Hello Beautiful!

I believe everything you’ve been taught around IMAGE is absolutely backwards!

Here’s why.

People think it’s just about lipstick & cute shoes.  That it’s superficial.

Here’s what I know.

People are judging us on camera.  People are judging us at events.  

As women entrepreneurs living and working in a highly competitive society, you must recognize and understand the impact of your appearance as it communicates first to you and then to others.  What you wear and the way you look affects:

  1.  your ideal clients
  2.  your influence
  3.  your income

Each of us presents an Image, consciously and sub-consciously ALL the time, through non-verbal communication including appearance.

This communication impacts our lives in more ways than we ordinarily think.

I believe the BEST WAY for YOU to ATTRACT CLIENTS, BE MEMORABLE and INCREASE YOUR INCOME

is to CREATE your own authentic, attractive and magnetic SIGNATURE LOOK!

Some people have a natural talent or ability to present themselves appropriately and attractively.  Most DO NOT.

The good news is that personal image skills can be learned, then practiced til they become second nature.
