Yeah I’ve haven’t been visiting too much the past week so all my regular blog pals will be seeing a lot of comments over the next few days. I have to make up for time I was away. I’m launching another product line so I’ve spent a lot of time on that and haven’t had time to visit as I would like.

Oh and what song are you talking about?

When I worked out of the home I remember one co-worker complained because of the awards I received. What she didn’t want to think about was all the work I did to get to receive them. She wasn’t doing it. I wasn’t just doing enough to “get by”

I didn’t do go above and beyond what I had to do because I was thinking how I was going to be compensated. I did it because those projects represented me and I wanted to do my best. I always do my best. That coworker, and many like her, were just content to get by.

I imagine that is why I don’t actively follow blogs that only talk about how to be successful online anymore to me in many ways, for me at least, its common sense and similar to marketing my own business. Once I realized that it has become very easy.

I finally quit listening to what everyone else said and through trial and error started doing what works best for my websites. What works for them will not necessarily work on my sites.

I always liked that song…

@Brown – I have the scotch tape helping me so don’t worry.

@Valentin – It sounds like you wrote a poem or some fantastic prose. Ha ha.

@Apex – I see where you’re coming from, but I think there’s still a good segment of the population that (using your example) would say that Bill Gates is where he is because he’s “smart”. And I think while that’s truuuueish it doesn’t fully encapsulate everything that got him to where he is.

But I see your point. (#):)

@Court – Who would’ve thought that your little post would generate this much interest huh?

Everything I post on my site is there because I think it will help someone. Not every post will help every single person, and if it doesn’t help a certain individual I’m sure they can find something there that will.

Since every reader is different you have to post things that some people will need, knowing that others will already have an understanding of those concepts. I don’t for a second believe that every post I write will help every single person in the world. I just try to help out as much as I can.

Thanks everyone for your opinions!!

So, while I agree completely that not everyone might have the 6 traits, and it is not entirely a bad thing to remind people of these traits, I also think that when looking at it from the other direction, like my example above, most people would know of them and with that know that successful people most likely have them.
