It turns out those successful people you admire aren’t always so perfect.

We love to give advice about all of the good habits you should be cultivating as a marketer and businessperson. But in the real world, a lot of actual successful people have plenty of “bad” habits.

I don’t advocate adopting any of these, but if you already have one or two, you may want to explore the upsides.

In this 18-minute episode, I talk about some benefits to these 7 “bad” traits or habits:

1. Thin skin
2. Flakiness
3. Selfishness
4. Greed
5. Distractibility
6. Self doubt
7. Arrogance
