just had an interesting talk with someone....
let's say you gonna meet with your accountant/lawyer to briefly discuss some things
do you gonna dress properly (a suit or so) because the situation requires it, or eg. because your appearence matters, eg. you get treated more seriously if you are well dressed?
or are you gonna go in whatever clothes you have on you right now, even if that means some jeans and an old t-shirt.... because you are free, you work from your own home, earn good money and if someone doesn't like how you look like, he can kiss your ass?
personally i tend to be wearing good clothes, but usually casual, not formal... but sometimes im so lazy & not caring that I have some poor clothes on me, and unless I go on a date, or on something really important for me personally, Im not gonna bother to change them because im meeting someone who comes from the offline world and is used to dealing mostly with people with suits... well if it's a lawyer and im meeing him for the first time and want to discuss something important/complicated, then i gonna dress better indeed
but not if its for the 4th time and we gonna talk only for 10 minutes
but perhaps I am wrong?
oh and it's ironic that it's an aristocrat writing this, I know
But I really value the fredom that comes from making money on the web and I feel in a way different from all those hardworking people in the offline business world, and I don't feel I should try to get their respect by wearing proper clothes.
