about what you're wearing. For example, when I was working as a First Aid trainer I made sure to wear tops that didn't gape when I bent down to do CPR and shoes that didn't crucify my feet after standing up for ten hours. Think before you buy -- that top might look nice but is it practical?  Good grooming doesn't cost a fortune: basic things like neatly tied back hair and plucked eyebrows don't cost anything but create a great first impression. (Top tip: dry shampoo -- if you run out of time to wash your hair in the morning it's a good back stop). What you wear speaks volumes about your business, if you employ staff they will emulate what you wear, so if you don't make the effort, they won't either. You only have one chance to make a postive first impression on a client -- don't waste that chance with sloppy dressing. Even if you work at home all the time -- get dressed for work!
