Dr. Wilmar, an executive of BMG bank, was the main decision maker when it came to hiring Marcio Alaor to the bank. He got his shoes shined on a regular basis and Marcio Alaor was normally the person who would do this for him. He made himself better and gave himself the best of the best so that he would be able to help Dr. Wilmar and all of his shoe shining clients when he was working. This drive inspired Wilmar to make Marcio Alaor an employee of the BMG bank instead of just a shoe shiner.
He knew that he was going to grow the bank by doing this and Marcio Alaor now takes the same approach, according to his blog. He knows that the people who work the hardest should be hired because they are the ones who are going to be the most successful due to the drive that they have to be better. He also knows that they are the ones who are going to dream the biggest and are going to take the bank to places that it may not have been able to go in the past because that is what happened with him.
As a former shoe shiner, Marcio Alaor knows that success is not about having the best or being the best. He knows that it is all about the drive that is required to be the best. Even if he never became the best shoe shiner, the drive to be the best is what enabled him to impress Dr. Wilmar. This is something that he makes sure his employees know. He doesn’t want them to all be the best, he just wants them to strive to be able to be the best that they can be.
As a shoe shiner, Marcio Alaor held a somewhat low job. He was not someone who was very well respected and did not expect much out of the job. He did, however, work to do his best while he was a shoe shiner. He knew that if he did his best, he would be able to work his way up somehow. That opportunity came when Wilmar saw his ethic and hired him to the bank. This was something that Marcio Alaor had always dreamed of and he was able to reach that dream. He then took it even further and became the vice president of the bank.
