Scores of people still believe that cocktail attire for men is a casual dress code. Nothing could be further from the truth. You get an invitation to a party and it specifically says cocktail attire for men, you then go into your closet and immediately pull the khakis and polo shirt you wore to that “one thing” you went to a few months ago.

Cocktail attire and casual dress code, it’s the same thing, right?

Wrong.

Ultimate Guide on How to Become an Entrepreneur & Start Making Money Today

July 28, 2017July 18, 2017 by Phil Williams

First, let’s get one thing clear. You’ve been sold a lie.

It’s the dream of a good career — A stable job, a regular pay check, and a clear sky for steady advancement.

This may have been true forty years ago, but it simply no longer applies in today’s world.

If you want to be rich, you have to understand the current business climate first.

More jobs are being outsourced or automated, and while that’s scary for most people, you can’t let it scare you.

Now, read this and think carefully. You don’t have to be dependent on a boss for your income. You can make up your own hours, work as hard as you want, and have the freedom to earn as much money as you need.

Sounds too good to be true, but it isn’t. To have the best chance of being rich and becoming free, you need to become an entrepreneur.

June 5, 2017 by Phil Williams

Characteristics of a Gentleman: 30 Unconventional Tips

January 20, 2020March 24, 2017 by Phil Williams

The characteristics of a gentleman cannot always be quantified in a simple list, but it helps. This guide gives you just a few ways to be a better gentleman on a daily basis and show the world we still exist.

1. Always watch what you say

Only a child or a fool misuses the power of his tongue. Words have the ability to build up or tear down. And once said, they can never be taken back. A gentleman chooses wisely.

2. Be a contributing member of society/Give without expecting anything in return

Be the first to say hello to a stranger passing you on the street. Give something back to someone less fortunate than you whether that be time or money.

3. Speak up and make eye contact

Shifty eyes and a mumble of a low voice would put even the most trusting man on the edge. Speaking up while looking into the other person’s eyes shows courage and respect.

4. Smile and make someone’s day with a well-timed compliment

This should probably be number in our list of characteristics of a gentleman. My dad used to tell me to smile even when I didn’t feel like it. I hated it until I understood the reason. When you genuinely smile at someone, you remove the barrier of unfamiliarity. It makes you a welcoming presence and that, alongside a well-timed compliment like “Nice shoes”, will make half the world fall in love with you.

Classic Cocktail #1 – The Hemingway Daiquiri

January 20, 2020March 24, 2017 by Phil Williams

As you may or may not already know, Hemingway was a bit of a writer 😏 and a bit of a drinker. He could apparently pack away 10 or more of these lovelies whenever the feeling struck him.

You have to be pretty impressive to not only have the drink but also the double named in your honor (Papa Doble).

Take the time to savor this classic cocktail and let it transport you to the 1930’s when men still dressed up to leave the house, women were still rocking shoulder pads and a diabetic writer was making a name for himself in a little Havana bar called The Floridita.
