So he was a cocktail maker and a pretty good cocktail maker too, til he had a crisis of confidence and couldn't make cocktails any more... Then he meets a good looking woman who talks him into being a better cocktail maker.
So he was a fighter pilot, and a pretty good fighter pilot too til he had a crisis of confidence......
If you haven't seen Rich Hall on Live at the Apollo you should look him up on youtube or the BBC. This sketch about Tom Cruise is really funny.
I'm a man in lettings, and a pretty good man in lettings too but I'm having a crisis of confidence. I went out last week for our office Christmas dinner with the folks from Redmayne Bentley downstairs and the chap from the office next door. We went to Kitsons which is ok but I came home feeling like I needed a sandwich or something. The head of RB commented on how good I look in a suit (my dear wife thinks so too...) and how she thought I would get more business if I wore a suit every day.
If you have ever met me in real life you will know that I don't wear a suit every day. I used to when I worked in the corporate place but I chose not to when I started BlueDoor. I like the freedom of a short sleeved shirt in summer and a wool v-neck jumper in winter paired with fine wool trousers but I have also been known to do business in jeans.
Maybe I would get more business if I wore a suit? Could it be true? I don't know.
Since starting BlueDoor I have never failed to get an instruction from a prospective landlord. When I did the corporate thing one or two did get away despite the suit wearing so I'm not sure the theory holds water.
My co-director says it is more about me than the suits and more about the prices than the ties or the cuff links.
Mmmmm what to do? What do you think? Don't suggest that I need a good looking woman - if I look for another one I'll get in trouble!
