It doesn't cost a dime to be a professional.
Professionalism in and of itself is a way of life. One of the easiest ways to get out of a rut is not to be an amateur in how you function and go about your life.
Are you mindlessly displacing weights from point A to point B thinking you are pushing heavy loads?
Try recruiting the target muscle group while keeping your mind in place with unwavering laser-sharp focus and intent. That's peak professionalism as a lifter.
Are you eating as and when you feel, with no proper nutrition protocol and a structured meal plan?
Try prepping your meals in advance based on your goals. That's professionalism.
Sloppiness is not a virtue. It stains your character and image like no other trait.
It is the lowest of a man's personality.
If you let it, it slowly starts to creep in in every aspect of your life. Sloppiness in one aspect is sloppiness in everything.
Make eye contact. Don't break it until the other person involved breaks theirs.
Stare into their soul but at the same time, learn to smile with it.
Learn to exchange a handshake. Grip it tight and firm- not with an intent to break their hands but to leave an everlasting impression.
People never forget a man with a firm handshake. Learn to live rent-free in their head.
Upgrade your wardrobe. Keep your collar stiff.
Tailor your fits, nothing too tight, nothing too loose. Just enough to complement your physique.
Invest in a good fragrance.
Learn to articulate your thoughts well and excel in communication. There is not a solitary reason why people should take you seriously when the majority of your sentence is filled with "uhms” and "ahhs".
Professionals seldom use fillers.
Stop labelling yourself as an introvert and learn to socialise. When you get closer to survival, personality types do not exist.
Remember, you are just one conversation away with the right person that can potentially turn your life upside down.
If a tiger is chasing ten guys and you are one among them, you don't really have to be the fastest. You just have to be faster than the slowest to increase your chances of survival.
