A few days ago I wrote a post titled 10 Attitudes of Successful Workers which talked about, as you can probably guess, the ten attitudes that successful workers have. A reader commented on a couple of the points and I thought they were worth sharing with all of you:
Everyone is a potential key contact.
This is something that is important especially to freelancers. It is not easy all the time to take note of who the people are especially when you meet so many of them but you never know which one of them will be your next client or will refer you to so many others.
I am my own biggest fan.
Well, again, for freelancers - because no one else will be there to give them a pat on the back but themselves. And being one's biggest fan also helps in motivating one's self.
I've found both of these to be true. I've met presidents of companies who've looked like men off the street and everyday guys like me who looked like they owned the world. You really can't judge a book by its cover in these cases.
As far as being your own biggest fan, this doesn't mean that you're boastful or conceited. It does mean, however, that you believe in what you can do and are confident of your abilities. After all, if you aren't sure of what you can do, who else will be?
