I think you really need to not only be willing to accept failure but thrive on it.

For me most of the time things I try out don't work. If I could tell you all the sure-as-shooting-cant-miss plans I had where I was sure a particular campaign was going to be golden and didn't work out... Yet on the other hand there is stuff you were never sure about that just takes off.

If you are easily discouraged you will not likely last long, unless you get extremely lucky out of the box, which rarely happens.

One thing I have found about myself since I have moved to affiliate marketing, is failure, crisis and disappointment are the things that spur me on to greater heights. It is much more difficult for me to grow and expand when I am sitting fat and happy. When something goes wrong, though, that is not only when I address the problem, I fly right past it on to better things.

That is me personally though.. But definitely, like I said, being willing to accept failure.
