Tom Ford Teaches 33-Year-Old To Dress for the Job You Want | Project Upgrade | GQ

[@kashifs.6458]

Tom Ford can be brutally honest in the most genuine way.

[@jsaavedr1]

I like that about him. He doesn't beat around the bush.

[@bf9323]

That’s kind of what “brutally honest” means LOL

[@gigsinglasgow4215]

I've only recently started watching Tom Ford videos, I'm familiar with his Fragrances more and that he's designed for James Bond. However, his level of honesty doesn't lie with harshness, rudeness or negativity nor really criticism and yet despite it being an opinion, sure an educated one at that which holds more weight behind it he says and does things that'll benefit the what do we call it.. client! I was going to say consumer but let's say, client. What he did to this Restauranteur was a transformation for the best!

[@Carltonwanks]

He's nothing special really

[@Kylirr]

Can you be brutally honest in a disingenuous way? That seems like an oxymoron.

[@nsanders125]

His hair gave him more character. The ending was handsome, but more sterile and unimaginative. They should have kept the overall length and adjusted the styling to be more deliberate. He needed a nudge, not a hard push. To each their own!

this was the most dramatic makeover

[@fatemaeshaq7220]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@thehappyshaver]

"Can we all stare at you?" "Um...sure." "Dramatically?"

[@ビップレクサス]

What Tom Ford says at the end of the video has very, very strong value. Will dressing the part automatically hand you what you want to be? Absolutely not. What it will do is open more doors for you through indirect experiences. IE: When you dress like an entrepreneur, you come off as an entrepreneur to other people. Meaning - when you talk to people, people will more likely trust you as a successful businessperson when you are well put together. Ask yourself - would you invest in a company where someone pulls up in a Mercedes Benz S-Class or a 1990s Honda Civic? You would probably feel more comfortable investing in the person that has the S-Class. Its all psychological. On top of that - dressing the part might give you confidence for the part as well. You can see this is another form of money makes money. Use money to better yourself and you'll make more money. There was fortune article talking of a start-up CEO using a good percentage of his salary to purposely stay at 5-star hotels. He saw this as an investment to meet other wealthy individual. Chances are you are more likely to find wealthier people at high-end hotels for your investments rather than a Motel 6. If you are an upcoming CEO, consider this. Stay at a Park Hyatt - not a Hyatt Place.
