The Worst Personality Trait

This is just my opinion, of course.

It’s ingratitude.

People who don’t appreciate their benefactors, or what’s been given to them, or who take modern miracles for granted, are ingrates.

Louis CK has a great routine about ingratitude. He talks about people who complain about how long it takes for their cell phones to start up, or who gripe about the speed of airplane WiFi.

Stop for a minute, he says, and realize the miracle going on: you’re sitting in a chair, IN THE SKY. This is amazing! What could you possibly be complaining about?

The same goes for how people can make a living these days. We’re surrounded by miraculous possibilities, and people either turn up their noses at them, or go about their lives as if these amazing things don’t exist.

There are people who make their entire livings via their laptops, whether as affiliate marketers, or by selling infinitely reproducible digital products, or by running a simple eCommerce store. They have tools available to them that the most high-powered marketers a generation ago couldn’t have dreamed of. They can start businesses with almost no overhead and essentially no risk, especially when compared with traditional businesses and brick-and-mortar stores.

Almost no one stops to say: this is truly amazing.

It’s an incredible time to be alive, in other words. But almost no one realizes it, or appreciates it.

You do, which is why you’re reading this post.

And rather than observe this incredible phenomenon from the sidelines, eCommerce expert Steve Clayton urges you to join in.

Until tomorrow at midnight you can watch the replay of the info-packed presentation Steve and his business partner Aidan Booth made for my readers this week.

If you decide this is your time to jump off the sidelines, let me add: I’ll be doing this along with you. We’ll learn together.

Check out what Steve and Aidan have to say:
