045: Why I Don't Change Clothes?

Growth Strategist Podcast With Wilson Komala (Kingsmaker) | Marketing | Personal Development

If you’re wondering why I always seem to be wearing the same thing and don't change my clothes, it’s because I am. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not because I’m lazy or don’t care for fashion. Like any other person, I do want to look good and enjoy grooming myself too, but about two years ago, I saw something that changed my entire perspective on dressing.

At that point of time, I saw an interview that Mark Zuckerberg was in, and also read an article about Steve Jobs. These two men are known for their innovation and success and they had something in common - they always seemed to be wearing the same thing!

Imagine making millions but wearing the same old outfit everyday!

They were both posed with the same question - why? This is what they said…

Decision Fatigue

Did you know that us humans are only able to make 7 to 11 critical decisions at our peak?

Every single day, we can only make 7 to 11 great decisions. If we let our dressing in the morning take up ONE of that decision, we would have sacrificed a precious decision that could have been made for more important things.

Wearing the same thing everyday eliminates that

After listening to that, I was skeptical but decided to give it a try and to my surprise, I found more benefits…

My outfit is my brand

I always say this but personal branding is the ONLY thing you ever need to succeed and wearing the same thing everyday has created a signature look for me. Even when I’m giving talks, hosting events or going to places that require formal dressing, I try my best to wear my outfit, putting on a jacket if needed.
While I respect these institutions, I like to think that it’s not about what I wear, but what value I bring. Also, I’ve grown comfortable with what I’m wearing

Cash

I love to shop. It’s hard not to, when there are so many cool outfits available. You don’t even have to leave your home. You can just browse online and it’ll reach your doorstep within a week.

The internet has made shopping way too easy, but since I wear the same thing everyday, I have less reasons to shop. You won’t believe just how much money I save.

While this may not be for everybody. It’s what I do and it’s what I enjoy. Hopefully, my thoughts have inspired you. Give this a try. You might find that it’s not so bad that I don't change my clothes!
