Why You Can’t Get Rich Looking Poor | Dan Lok

0:00David, come on. Come on. Obama applause. So, now, so David is helping me manage the social media, social media director for our Vancouver Entrepreneurs Group. First of all, how many have met David before? Okay, look at him today. Does that deserve Obama applause? Okay, so amazing. How many think he looks more successful? Yeah? Yeah. Now, there's a lesson here. In Vancouver Club, there's a dress code, and then you come, and maybe this is the first time here you don't know. There's a dress code, you have a dress in business. One thing I learned for a mentor a year ago, he told me, Dan, you can't get rich looking poor. You can't get rich looking poor. People want to deal with success, and success, breathe success. That you want to, if you're out there, you're casual, that's fine. Usually I'm very casual, but in business setting, you want to dress professionally, because we are professional, right?

1:01Put up your hand in fact. Say I'm a professional. Yeah, we are professionals. So you want to dress for success, and that's a great dress code that we have in here, so look at that. Look at that. That's sharp looking. That's upping the game. So I just want to acknowledge David Greg Job. And David, I think you just bought the suit just for this, right? Yes. Got upgrade. Got upgrade, man. Good job. Good job. Nice, round of applause. Round of applause. So that's why. Now you might be thinking about Dan, you know, Richard Branson, dress casually. Well, if you are successful as Richard Branson, you can dress whatever you want. You can be naked, as long as I'm concerned. Nobody cares. But before that, before we have that kind of money, just for success. One of the things that I do personally is interesting, because I believe when you look good, you feel good. How many agree with that? And when you feel good, you perform better, yes? So whenever I, let's say I have to do a teleclass,

2:01how many of you were with me for the January 7 teleclass? Do you know, whenever I do a teleclass, any kind of webinar, or being interviewed or anything like that, I would dress like this at home? Do you know why? Why? The mindset. Yeah, the mindset. Because I could be in my, you know, like slippers and my shorts, my underwear. I take it way more casually. I don't take it that seriously. But if I dress like this, it's as if I'm speaking to a group. Because if you think about it, if I'm doing a teleclass, I'm being interviewed. And I'm speaking to a group. Even they don't see me, but I'm speaking to, perhaps, bigger crowd in here, could be hundreds of people. And a podcast, like James said, what we did, right? James interviewed a few weeks ago. Same thing, I dressed four on, business suit. And Jenny thought I was nuts. Because I always, I always do this. You don't need to do this. Nobody knows. I know. I know it makes me feel better. That's why in this setting, always dress for success.
