Learn to package yourself from the time you are young

Many employers and business people tend to have abusive relationships with their employees and service providers. The biggest nightmare facing service providers is delayed payments that threatens to drive them out of business. Today I share a few ideas to help you avoid sticky situations with foul employers.

Always be professional even when dealing with friends, whether it is lending small loans to them or helping them write a proposal. Always value yourself and your time. Do not be mean, just be polite and firm. If it is a service you are offering, define the boundaries, even if it is probono. Secondly, always dress the part. Pick a style that works for you and stick with it.  Dressing well shows that you take your work seriously.
