Stop! Don’t Even Think About it!
You’ve been following along here at The Technician Shop and you know how we feel about your image and appearance. Matter of fact, you’ve begun to pay more attention to how you dress for work. You’ve been shaving everyday, you’ve trimmed your beard, you’ve been wearing clean uniforms in good repair, and you’ve been feeling real good about yourself. One day you get up. You’re tired and start to think, one day won’t matter, I’ll wear what I had on yesterday and skip shaving.
Don't Even Think About it!
Actually, this is when it matters more than ever. This is when you separate yourself from Average Joe technician. Because Average Joe is going to think it won’t matter if he lets his appearance go one day. And when no one comments to Average Joe that day, he’ll think (and we use the term think liberally), jeeeze, what’s the big deal? But people notice, they notice more than you realize. They make a little negative mental note about you and file it away. Rest assured, when you least expect it, they’ll bring it back up and slap it all over you.
Don’t give in. Don’t give up. Be a relentless warrior and fight for what you know is right. If you do, no one will ever think of you as Average Joe.
