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