LUCY GUO: The Most Common Success Advice That's Secretly Holding You Back

What was said

"I think when people believe that you're wealthy, it is a lot easier to move around in this world. I used to take pride in dressing in like Sheen, Walmart, etc. I realized how much easier life gets if I just present myself nicer. It opens a lot more doors."

Lucy Guo confesses she learned at 30 that presenting as wealthy dramatically increased her access and connections, contradicting her earlier pride in budget clothing. She argues there's a way to be presentable while remaining authentic, and the trade-off in connections and opportunities has been worth abandoning her hobo aesthetic.
