Nothing is free - Work hard if you want to succeed

1. Make client service a top priority. Probably most importantly, I learned the value of really good client service, and how the relationships you build with customers can help you grow your business and make it a lot more fun. I learned to laugh with my customers, listen to their stories and instill the trust that I was going to take care of them. These are similar emotions to what my clients to this day need from me.

I also learned to interact with clients from all walks of life and with very different concerns. Knowing how to adapt uniquely to each situation is a life lesson I carry with me today.

2. Be sensitive when resolving conflict. You wouldn’t believe the things people would return to a retail store: dresses that had clearly been worn and even draperies that had been faded by the sun. I learned how to resolve conflicts in a way that keeps the conversation cordial and helps people accept the word “no.”

3. Integrate online and offline communications. This was way before digital folks, but in a way I learned the fundamentals of integrating various forms of business and communication by seamlessly weaving phone calls with in-person engagements with catalog sales with brick and mortar retail merchandising.

4. Appearance matters.I did a fair amount of modeling at the time as well. I learned quickly that how you dress makes a lasting impression on people and directly affects how they are going to treat you. I dressed a bit older for my age and kept it fresh. Now I probably a dress a little younger for my age, and still try to keep it fresh.

5. Be your brand. While I didn’t call it this at the time, I was launching my own personal brand and determining what I wanted out of a career based on what I was good at and what I liked doing. I learned to be true to that and to stay on a consistent path to make it all happen. My “brand” was forming, and it’s appropriately still consistent today.
