Everything you need to know about marketing, you have learned in school

Studies show that we do 90% of our learning in the first 5 years of life. That means we spend the rest of our lives trying to learn that last 10%...and marketing professionals step into the field already knowing 90% of what they need to know to hit a home run right out of the gate!

How do they know? They learned it in Kindergarten.

What Kindergarten Teaches Us About Marketing, Business and Success

The number of self-made business success stories is growing by the day. Now, I ask you, how is that possible when everyone knows you have to have a degree in business to know how to run a business?

We're back to that 90/10 rule again. By the time you become an adult you already know 90% of the techniques and information you need to grow your business and kick off an amazing marketing campaign. And you learned it all before you started the first grade.

Here's a look at what Kindergarten teaches us about business, marketing and success:

If you don't get excited, no one else will either.
To catch someone's interest, show them your toys. To make a friend for life, let them play too.
Don't be afraid to ask "why?" as often as possible.
People will like you better if you're not afraid to get dirty.
Bright colors are always more fun.
Don't hesitate to make mistakes.
If you don't know how to do something, find someone that does.
If you do know how to do something, teach everyone else.
It's always more interesting when you work as a group.
Leave plenty of time to play.
Be the first to say hello.
You can never have too many friends.
Any picture worth drawing is worth drawing right.
If you have something cool in your pocket, tell everyone. As often as possible.
Don't be serious all the time. That makes you boring.
Always use your good manners.
Smile. Other people will smile back.
If you were wrong, say you're sorry.
Stand up for what you believe in.
Put all of your effort into everything you do.
