By dressing the part of a professional, you and your employees become that professional.
Everybody needs somebody sometime. When it comes to business, it's great to have a mentor. My dad looked up to his Uncle Jake. Jake owned and operated one of the largest dairy companies in New York and my dad had worked there as a young man.
There are so many critical turns a business makes, especially when it is intent on rapid growth. Dad had told me how helpful it was to have someone that he and his partner, my Uncle Morty, could turn to for advice.
