    <content type="html">Dress for success. Indeed. However, dressing for success has to be about more than your outer attire, your accessories, or even your underwear. You have to dress your mind. Dress your thoughts. Dress your psychology. Put on a little John C. Maxwell. Put on a little Malcolm Gladwell. Get in that 10 pages a day. Dress your thoughts in what you can accomplish and what you will accomplish. Your IQ is not nearly as important as your I Will. Dress yourself in visions of prosperity and benevolence, abundance and trusting, in excitement and servant leadership. The world, those close to you, CNN, and what the hell ever or everyone else will conspire to tell you what you are not, what you haven't done, what you can't accomplish. Attempt to distract you with their traffic. But absent the test, there is no testimony. Know that the past is the past, and the future is about what you will accomplish and who and what you are becoming. So dress for the divine life that has been promised to and awaits you. That's how you dress. Dress like it's already done. It's just what you do. It's just how you get down. And soon after it will become, this is what we do. This is how we get down. That's how leaders dress. That's how leaders get down. That's how we get down. Recession what? No! Progression. Sacrifice. Determination. Discipline. Make them know you. Dress your mind. Quitting is not an option. Yeah, that's how you dress. JuJuan Buford&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
