Once Again, It's All About Attitude

I have posted about the importance of a positive attitude before. A positive and winning attitude is one of the common characteristics of successful entrepreneurs.

I was scanning the feeds of my favorite blogs (as I do every day) and I came across this great post about "The Marketer's Attitude" on Seth Godin's Blog.

In it, he writes about what he would be looking for in a marketer. Some of the characteristics he highlights include:
  • Relentlessly positive (Did you get that? Not just positive, but relentlessly positive.)
  • Intellectually restless
  • Charismatic
  • Self-motivated

Are you the best in the world at something or just good at following directions?

Do you find satisfaction in reaching self-imposed goals?

As I was reading his post, I found myself using his "job description" as a yardstick against to measure my own progress, energy, and behavior.

A little self-reflection can be a very good thing.
