Adaptability is obviously important, but I wouldn't put it at #1.

I would say "ability to take action".

It doesn't matter how smart, personable, determined, passionate, or adaptable you are if you don't take action. Until you do, you have nothing.




Luke asks: Shoe - in your opinion, whats the best resource (other than shoemoney, of course) for affiliate noobies to learn how to get started and what are the best offers to get started with (sorry, that’s sort of 2 questions in one)?

Thanks!

ShoeMoney: I really dunno any site including this one that will teach people that much how to make money. They need to dive in and learn. Its so simple and costs nothing to start that people need to stop being lazy. No website will replace experience.

jim asks: Do you have a mentor? If so, who is it? If not, who would you love to be mentored by?

Thanks Jeremy!

ShoeMoney: I don’t have a mentor but there are a lot of people I have taken pieces from… seth godin, malcom gladwell, guy kawasaki. I am not a big fan of “mentoring”. I think more people need to do things for themselves and learn from there own experiences and not from the experiences of others.


Ability to take action / get hands dirty / learn
