He was notorious for wearing old dress shoes that were covered in dust, a 1980s Members Only jacket (well into the 2000s) and an old calculator wrist watch. What I think held him back, and ultimately led to many failures, was too much ambition, too much drive. But his attire was not "lazy slob". More I would say "out of touch geek". If you walked into his office, and he's got to be in his 90s now, with flip flops, you'd never hear the end of it. Let's say he'd judge you for sure.

Most businesspeople I know, especially sharp ones, size people up instantly.

Yeah, people DO judge books by their covers. Yes it IS superficial.

But that's the way it is. If you want to try to succeed despite being a lazy slob, have at it. Go right ahead.
