5 Habits of Successful Marketers

Written by Becky Adams on Feb 7, 2012 4:22 pm

If you want to be successful in your business then you have to study what the successful people are doing. I learnt very early on in my personal development reading that if you are truly serious about success, adopting the habits of succesful people is a MUST.

Success is a formula and you absolutely CAN learn how to be successful by mirroring the behaviours of those who are where YOU want to be.

This, for me, is the importance of having a mentor and in my opinion essential if you are to become truly successful. You absolutely need someone experienced who will advise you, guide you and share their valuable experience with you.

So here is my top 5 habits of successful marketers….

1. Exercise

Exercise makes us feel good and helps us focus. This is a fact and is a must if you are going to be more productive and focused. Find what works for you, walking, yoga, whatever works for YOU and do it EVERY day.

2. Have a schedule and daily routine and stick to it

Figure out when you can schedule in work time. I would love to do my work first thing in the morning as that is when I am most productive but I am two small kids so for me, I work at night once they are in bed.

Be disciplined and turn off distractions like your phone, facebook etc. Guard this time fiercely!

Before starting or opening anything, write down what you need to achieve and in the set amount of time. For example if you are blogging, your routine might look like this: SEO check (15 mins) blog post (30 mins), share to facebook, twitter, networked blogs, tribe pro etc.(15mins)

Sometimes, like this week, my kids were poorly and so I couldn’t work when I had scheduled. I had to work round this and so I am making up lost time this morning while my daughter is in nursery and the baby is sleeping. Life happens but you have to deal with it and adapt. When you work for yourself, there is no one to answer to but your results!

2. Positivity

NEVER COMPLAIN!!! Successful people surround themselves with positivity and have no time for complainers or drama. Train your mind to focus on the positive. Become a student of personal development. Read about the law of attraction and be grateful and happy for what you have got. An attitude of gratitude will set you up for more good things to flow into your life.

3. Invest in Marketing and Training.

If you are not prepared to invest in training then you have to ask yourself the reason why. Is it because you think you are going to fail and your money will be wasted? If this is how you are thinking you will might as well give up now. Tough but true I’m afraid!

The highest earners ALL invest in training and marketing strategies.

Now I would NEVER advise anyone to spend more than they have and if you are on a budget, then I would recommend taking advantage of free training that is available to get you started.

5. Let Your Tools do the Hard Work

Automate your business. Let Aweber, MLSP and Numis do the hard work while you can concentrate on other areas of your business.

So if you want more success, have a think… Are there are any negative habits holding you back? Negatative habits will drain your energy and drive so replace them with positive habits from the list above and I GUARANTEE good things will start to happen!

To your success
