BY:   [ Kristin Jones ](https://www.jonespr.net/eight-arms-blog/author/kristin-jones) ![Are Your Habits Helping You Succeed In Your Marketing Job?](https://www.jonespr.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Images/Blog%20473%20New%20Job.jpg?width=1523&name=Blog%20473%20New%20Job.jpg "Are Your Habits Helping You Succeed In Your Marketing Job?") Success—in business or in life in general—isn’t a matter of luck, though sometimes luck plays a role. Instead, most of today’s most successful people prepare themselves to make the most of whatever luck comes their way by cultivating habits that lead to success. Which of these habits, highlighted by [AddictedToSuccess.com](http://addicted2success.com/success-advice/10-powerful-habits-of-the-super-successful-infographic/) are most likely to translate directly into more success in your marketing job? **Please include attribution to Addicted2Success with this graphic.** [![Powerful-Habits-of-The-Ultra-Successful-Infographic.jpg](https://www.jonespr.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Images/Powerful-Habits-of-The-Ultra-Successful-Infographic.jpg?width=550&height=2305&name=Powerful-Habits-of-The-Ultra-Successful-Infographic.jpg)](https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/10-powerful-habits-of-the-super-successful-infographic/) Realistically, all of them. 1. If you can quickly read and understand information, you’ll be able to feel comfortable with your new company and its brand positioning and marketing strategies more quickly. 2. Visualize yourself making the phone calls or participating in the meetings that establish you as a valuable member of the team. 3. With so many different tasks in front of you in a new marketing role, prioritization will ensure the most vital are tackled first. 4. Money management may seem like a personal skill, more than a marketing skill, but being able to fine-tune the budget to gain the best [ROI](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/proven-roi-backs-up-marketing-budget-requests) is an asset to your entire company. 5. Use that extra hour in the mornings to research marketing best practices, industry trends, and current events that will give you the edge. Check out our [Inbound Learning Library](https://www.jonespr.net/marketing-resources) to find resources you need. 6. Goal setting is the basis for any successful endeavor, marketing or otherwise. (Consider: [Marketing Metrics Are Meaningless If You Aren’t Taking This First Step](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/marketing-metrics-are-meaningless-if-you-arent-taking-this-first-step)) 7. Being healthy physically is important to being at your best mentally, which is why I make time for exercise a non-negotiable part of my schedule. 8. Do you know where your strengths are? Build on your best assets to set a firm foundation in your new role. After all, those are probably the reasons your new company hired you. 9. Networking doesn’t end when you get the new job. Continue to build connections with colleagues in your company, your industry, and the marketing field through in-person connections and social media such as [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinjonespr/). 10. No matter what industry you work in, integrity and character count. Don’t compromise your personal principles. If you are new to your marketing role, or considering a chance in jobs, start working on these habits now so they will be well-established when you need them.
