While I know that you can go to school, listen to some professors, read some books, pass your classes. But does this make you a marketer? I do really believe that while a proper education might help you, this is one of the less important aspects of being able to spread an idea.

Marketing is not for you if…

• you want to learn how to do something once, and you do want to revisit the learning process.
• you are not very easily adaptable to change.
• you are not capable of coming up with great ideas that other people will also think are great, and you cannot repeat this again and again.
• you don’t really understand people and their motivations, and you don’t want to.
• you prefer not taking risks.

You can tell that a lot of people who are in marketing shouldn’t be - this is very clear when you watch TV commercials (most of them).
