I'm going to be revealing things I carry with me
every day to set myself apart.
Let's check it out.

Welcome back, Young Achiever.
So, the things I carry with me
every day to set myself apart.
First off, my wallet.
So the funny thing is I do carry a really expensive wallet.
I have a Montblanc.
Now, you don't have to have a really expensive wallet
that you carry with you all the time,
but have a nice one.
I used to go to Walmart and buy
a new wallet every couple of years,
and they just looked bad.
The leather was painted, it would
come off and look funky.
I bought a wallet from Cavender's I think it was,
because I really liked the design,
and same thing, the leather looked
like it was painted after a while.
So, I'm going to get a real Italian leather wallet,
and look fancy.
Now, like I said you don't have
to buy a super expensive wallet.
I like to save my money and buy nice things.
That's just who I am.
I also carry a lighter with me all the time.
It is a little bit of an old concept,
but a few of the reasons I carry my lighter
with me, is just to be utilitar.
I don't smoke, it's just very useful.
I started carrying this back a couple of years ago,
it's not the same lighter of course,
I buy a new one every so often.
Because I worked in a barbecue restaurant,
I had to light things everywhere.
I had to light the grill, I had to light the stove.
I was tired of having to go to the pit,
is what we called it, the little fire box,
and having to stick paper in it and get fire every time.
So I said no more.
Lighter.
Plus you can do some cool tricks with it.
I also carry it so I can light a lady's cigarette.
I've only done it a handful of times,
but it definitely sets me apart
from other gentlemen out there.
It's, again, utilitarian, I have it with me.
I also always carry a pen with me.
One thing my area manager told me that really stuck with me,
is that a gentleman always carries a pen.
We used to stick it in our polos,
that way we always had it with us.
If a guest needed something,
we could help them write it down.
I sign so many things every day.
This is so useful.
I don't like to carry the cheap ones
just because they write weird,
they don't let their ink out consistently.
And having a nice one definitely sets you apart.
This is actually a gift from my
general manager, because she went to Office Depot.
It looks classy when I write.
ChapStick®, I always carry it with me.
Nobody likes to look at someone with sandpaper lips.
Take care of yourself, guys, and girls.
Carrying something that you put on your lips
doesn't mean you're a lady.
It just means you're smart.
A business card holder.
I actually got this one for free
whenever I bought my 300 dollar wallet.
And I'll actually be making a video on how
to be aware of deals and get the best for your money.
But carrying a business card holder,
you're always ready to give out your contact information.
Whether it's your own company,
your personal contact information,
the business you work at.
It helps spread yourself, and build your network,
which is really important.
A nice watch.
It's one of those other things I used to go to Walmart,
every so often I'd have to buy a new one,
a $25 watch from Walmart.
It looks nice for a little bit,
but instantly it gets scratched up.
I was tired of it,
so I went out and bought a $100 watch.
It's lasted me for the past four or five months
and still looks pristine, brand new.
And if I ever have an issue with it,
I can just get parts replaced.
I can get a new wrist band,
I can get the battery replaced,
I can get a new glass panel,
or I can get a completely new watch,
but having that nice timepiece
definitely makes you look a little bit nicer.
Yes, you can have an Apple watch.
I don't personally prefer it.
It's a metal block.
It may be functional, it may be helpful,
but I don't like the way it looks.
Plus having those constant notifications
would drive me absolutely insane.
Whenever I'm at work, I'm at work.
Don't be bothering me, I'm getting stuff done.
And finally, I usually carry a notepad with me.
I just like to have a way to take notes
and to be able to transmit it to other people
in a physical way.
Yes, of course you always have a notepad
on your phone, you can text people,
but nothing beats that physical presence
or that handwriting that says,
this is what needs to happen,
this is what we need,
or this is the idea I had.
So those are the things I carry with me
every day to help set myself apart.
Do you have something I didn't mention
that you carry with you every day?
