Extreme Makeover: For You and Your Business

By Riche Goldmann

You Want To Look Fabulous! A nip here, a tuck there. Whats the harm in enhancing what nature gave you, right? In a world focused on youthfulness and beauty, plastic surgery is no longer just for the rich and famous. It seems like everybodys doing it, because first impressions count"in life and in business"and if going under the knife will give you the edge you need over your competition, then its all good, right?

Many of us worry way too much about our physical appearance. We desire to wear cute, fashionable clothes that will lift and separate in all right areas, want to enhance our faces with makeup. We realize, sometimes more than we should, how important image and personal appearance is in the world we live in.

Why is it that we don't think the same way about our businesses? But what if we did?

And what if, we as individuals look good and we present a great first impression personally, but then a potential client gets a look at our marketing and promotional materials and is totally unimpressed. Was all of our primping and preening for naught?

Extreme Makeover For Our Business Image Instead of primping in the mirror only, we should include our marketing and promotional materials in the once over. We owe it to our businesses and to ourselves to make sure that the business is always putting its best foot forward.
