Beware “Marketing Potholes”

Look Out! Are you in dan­ger of falling into a “mar­ket­ing pot­hole?” Check out Seth Godin’s recent posts on avoid­ing these all too com­mon obsta­cles to suc­cess. Seth’s blog is always a great read, but these posts are excep­tional. Per­son­ally I like the third post. I occa­sion­ally find myself falling into the trap of “what will they think?” — sec­ond guess­ing my cre­ativ­ity when I should be embrac­ing it. I am work­ing on devel­op­ing the dis­ci­pline of mov­ing for­ward in life with greater pur­pose, focus, and deter­mi­na­tion — align­ing my actions with my thoughts, goals and pri­or­i­ties. It is a con­stant chal­lenge, but worth the fight. I reg­u­larly expe­ri­ence my share of fail­ure, giv­ing in to the fear of judge­ment, but I am striv­ing to rec­og­nize these pit­falls so as to avoid repeat­ing them. Beware the potholes.
