  to really really really think about you think about Larry Bird,
• 1:01
  Michael Jordan, uh Allen Iverson. You know, any sport, Andre Agassi,
• 1:16
  any sport, you have to be properly suited up. You
• 1:24
  wouldn't dare go out on the court holding your shorts,
• 1:29
  holding your socks. Uh a baseball cap ripped in their back. Yeah.
• 1:37
  There are some high what do they call it, uh, superstitions.
• 1:43
  You know you're superstitious about their superstitious. Everybody's got a
• 1:48
  little something mane. But when you go out on the court.
• 1:53
  I'm using basketball as an illustration because you dust off
• 2:00
  your shoes on the side, you know, one, two, three, four,
• 2:04
  five steps, you know, dust your shoes off, Make sure
• 2:06
  your socks are up, make sure your your shorts and
• 2:09
  your band around your waist looks nice, you know. You
• 2:12
  you make sure you got enough room under your arms,
• 2:15
  your shirt's not touched in too much. You know, wave
• 2:19
  your neck a little bit, you know, do your shoulders.
• 2:21
  You're about to go into the game. You wanna look nice.
• 2:25
  You come to reprice it. For those that are in
• 2:31
  the choir, they would probably say, amen, what are you
• 2:36
  representing for your business? Your brand? What do you look
• 2:42
  like going out on the court. One sock looks like this?
• 2:49
  One sock looks like that. Eh, are you criss cross? No,
• 2:56
  you're not criss cross? You You forgot your new socks.
• 3:00
  And this sock was close enough, red and blue. It
• 3:05
  was close enough. Nobody could really tell, you know, Uh,
• 3:10
  waistband was stretched out, but you had a pen in it.
• 3:14
  You know, it would stay up, you know, collar a
• 3:18
  little ripped. Okay, it's all right, I'll get another one. Yeah, true,
• 3:24
  But you never do you never do. You don't brush up,
• 3:30
  you know, look around your competition. Huh, huh. Your own teammates, Uh, huh. Wow,
• 3:39
  people I deal with to help me run my business.
• 3:43
  They look really professional, but yet I lack this professional
• 3:48
  Look why your brand, your image speaks for you even
• 3:55
  before you open your mouth. You're going to be judged.
• 4:01
  You're going to be judged in milliseconds. Scrollers, commercials, at
• 4:11
  the gas station, billboards, you name it, ads everywhere. What
• 4:20
  are you gonna look like? Is it gonna be the same? Oh? Yeah,
• 4:23

  When you go out on the court for your business,
• 5:00
  when you go into your market and you line up
• 5:06
  your pears and your oranges, your celery, your radishes, your potatoes,
• 5:15
  you line it up for the consumer to be presentable, attractable.
• 5:24
  You want your business to attract without you having to
• 5:29
  lift a finger, if you will in the words of
