Look
at someone like Richard Branson. He is
always seen as playing, flying balloons, living on a converted barge, flying to
the States. You never see him sitting at
a desk, answering phones, doing paperwork.
But at some time during his working day that is exactly what he must
do. We just don’t get to see it. Thus we
think of him as the business playboy, the happy-go-lucky entrepreneur, the
devilish entertainer. It’s a neat image
and one that he seems very happy to go along with and why not?

This
is the sort of image the intrepid Rules Player wants to cultivate – suave,
easy, relaxed, languid, in control and very chilled. You never run, never panic, never even seem
to hurry. Yes, you may stay up until the
early hours of every morning but you will never admit this. Yes, you may work through your holidays,
weekends and days off, but you will never let on, never moan about how hard you
work or the hours you put in. To the outside
observer you are coasting, taking it easy, taking it all in your stride.

Obviously
to be able to do this you have to be very good at your job. If you ain’t, then you’re going to come a
cropper trying this rule out for size.
So, what do you do if you aren’t very good at your job? Burn that midnight oil again getting good. Learn, study, gain experience and knowledge,
read, ask questions, revise, swot and cram until you do know that job inside
and out. Do this first and then you can
swan about looking cool and very relaxed
