10 Steps to Look Like a Successful Businessman

Do you think you know how to look like a successful businessman? Here are some proven steps on how to look like a successful businessman!

Have you ever met some people walking on the streets standing out from the crowd and thought they look like rich men?

Here’s the secret – the people looking rich may not necessarily be rich most of the time.

They don’t often wear anything fancy or luxurious – but you think they’re rich because of the way they present themselves, they walk and the way they speak make you get a feeling that “they must be rich”.

So What is That Rich Look About?

This is the question various people answer to by their own opinion and experience. GurusWay Style Pros have talked to around 50 Style experts to find out what’s the secret of looking like a Successful Businessman.

To explore the core reason you shouldn’t ask a guy who was born in a rich family. Why? Because most probably they’ve had everything in life and will not probably know why you think they look different.

Explore the Mentality Behind Looking Rich

Being capable and being confident don’t always go hand in hand – there are plenty of businessmen and entrepreneurs who are great at what they do. And it’s due to their life experience why they have developed the mentality of looking rich.

On the other hand, in certain cases, it’s the people who are confident and bold that can get others motivated or interested.

Look at the James Bond character; he’s definitely one of the best examples of how to look cool and “rich” at the same time.

Anyway, let’s see some points on how to look like a successful businessman.

1. Be Confident!

This the N1 rule of looking like a successful individual. This is one of his strongest “skills”. You may think that of course, you should become a rich person and after that get the confidence.

No! This is a wrong mindset. This is not bought with money.

In fact, most wealthy men had to learn how to build their confidence before they got where they are today.

You can do your best to feel confident – believe in yourself! Confidence is the main reason to always make sure you make yourself be respected by others.

Remember one thing – forget about your fears, be a confident Alpha male and own the space where you’re situated.

Act like you’re a man of power, not just wealthy. If you look good but you’re afraid or don’t treat like you’re the owner of the situation, you’ll fail in looking like a successful businessman.

2. Stay Up To Date

Knowledge is King! A rich-looking man should always know what’s happening around him and around the world. This is also one of the major mistakes men make because they start all their conversations with sport, phones, or girls and are not being able to finish the game.

Communication with wealthy people requires many efforts from you. You should always be aware of (at least) the latest news in the business world as you’re talking with businessmen and entrepreneurs who are delved into this world.

You should talk with them in their “business language”.

Stay updated especially in your field. If you’re owning an IT business, for example, you should know everything about it and if people ask you anything related to it, you should be able to answer it fluently to look informed, clever, and knowing where you’re going to.

How to stay up to date? Easy – Read, Read and Read. Get into the Business world.

Bookmark the business news websites like Forbes, Bloomberg, follow business leaders in LinkedIn, subscribe to IT-related magazines like Wired, Psychology Today, and others.

3. Dress Well

If you want to look like a rich man, you need to be elegant. I’m not saying that you need to wear a suit all day long, but you should know what to wear though.

The well-dressed men don’t show many logos on their outfits. I’m not saying that you should spend a lot of money on your wearings.

Most well-dressed men wear neutral colors with no prints and not many details spending money taking into account their budget.

If you’ve noticed, many of the most famous celebrities like Ryan Raynolds, Ryan Gosling, and others are wearing a t-shirt with no print, logos, or anything. So the more simple, the better!

The Fit – Another part of knowing how to dress better is knowing when a piece of an outfit fits well or not.

Nowadays, even many people wear their sized shirts, pants or suits don’t look good just because of the reason their clothes are not tailored to their bodies.

Choose the slim fit (or even super slim fit) shirts and jackets. You can even take all your denim pants to a tailor to adjust the length of it. Having extra fabric over your shoes will just ruin your outfit.

If you have a lack of budget, just check the retail store sales. Make a list of some web shopping stores that offer up to 60, 70 or even 80 percent sales every month.

4. Find the Key Accessories

Accessories are good if you choose the right ones. Choosing the right accessories will give your outfit a luxurious touch. Here, you don’t need to buy luxurious watches but find some key accessories that stand out.

Instead of spending much money on buying various watches, you can just buy one for the price of the three.

Next, you can change your bulky wallet for a card case. Nobody carries much cash today! Moreover, many places accept even phone payments so there is no need to have much cash in your pocket.

Our Style Gurus recommend men’s 3 main accessories to always carry with them – a watch, wallet, and keys. So make sure you have something good of them.

5. Wear Men’s Jewelry

To emphasize the importance of these kinds of accessories I put the Jewelry of Men separately. Jewelry was also made to give men the luxury look shaping their excellence. Just like in the case of watches, here you should also buy jewelry that has high quality.

Overall, the best choices of jewelry are still the ones made of 925 Silver. These pieces of jewelry with 925 Silver have greater quality than the ones made of brass.

You can sign up for the most famous jewelry-producing companies and get notified of the launch date of the new product line.

6. Talk Like a Real Gentleman

This is extremely important! A really successful businessman knows how to present himself and talk in a polite way so this should definitely be on the top of your list.

Differentiate yourself from the “bros” type of guys. Get used to this sort of talking in order not to say any bad words with every phrase that comes out of your mouth.

Complaining of the way many guys talk, many girls don’t like men approaching them at a club like they are coming to buy a hot dog.

Numerous men want women of class but they don’t raise their bar higher and don’t want to change. So if you don’t change yourself, don’t expect anything else but rejection from women.

Think like a gentleman! Act like a gentleman!

7. Take Your Grooming Routine Seriously

If your outfit looks like a million dollars but your face looks like a $1 sandwich, undoubtedly you’re doing something wrong.

One of the key points of looking like a successful business is having a well-taken care facial and body skin.

Should you shave or no? Do women really like beards?

They like some very specific styles so you should take care of your beard as well.

You should have a list of some good Grooming products at your hand.

Most great men’s grooming products are affordable so keep in mind to have at least 3 products to start with; a facial washer, a scrub, and a face lotion. Take your grooming routine every day!

8. Be Active & Choose Where You Eat

How you eat and where you eat also affect your “successful” outcome. You need to change the place you eat and acquaint yourself with fine cuisine.

Why does this matters?

Because eating healthy food and going to the gym helps you to stay fit and look like a really successful person as they look after their health and find time to take care of their bodies.

If you are lazy to hit the gym or practice any other sports at least a couple of days per week, it’s your choice. But don’t complain that there’s something wrong with your look or you feel tired and exhausted.

Do something that you’ll not regret about!

9. Surround Yourself With Men Of Equal Goals

Choosing friends who share your same goals is extremely important. It helps not only to stay on the line but it also helps to know as well as train more and more on improving your skills of becoming a successful businessman.

If you don’t have such friends, you can follow some influencers also in various Social Networks like Pinterest, Instagram, etc. Looking good, they sometimes give really valuable advice and keep you updated.

Throughout the time you will learn and get familiarized with your new habitat.

Doing the same thing all the time is becoming a habit right?

Go for it!

10. Post On Your Social Network Carefully

It’s an indisputable fact that nowadays Social Networks are part of your lives. Don’t tell me that you haven’t ever checked someone’s Facebook or Instagram to see what he/she is all about. We all have done that.

Suppose you go to a job interview and you present yourself as a man of status, no drink, no parties, no girls.

But wait – what if your employer goes to check your social page and sees your crazy hangover photos in Vegas?

Totally failure, isn’t it?

So think a sec before you post something in your network. Choose carefully each picture you post and present yourself the way you want other people to accept you.
