Ellie Mirman's Startup Marketing Blog

I recently read Seth Godin's newest book, Linchpin, and not only loved the book but also found that it so shockingly well described my office. So much so that I've started recommending it to recent grads interested in marketing, alongside Inbound Marketing and The New Rules of Marketing & PR, of course.

I came across the Rules of Productivity presentation on one of my favorite blogs about happiness in the workplace, The Chief Happiness Officer. In it are some interesting takeaways (often pulling from data, my favorite) on how to maximize the productivity of a team.

When I find something cool, I tend to get very excited about it, obsess about it for a little while, and then move on to the next big thing. Hopefully I can use my blog to capture those moments of excitement for me, and you, and the whole wide Internet.

I would have thought that my late night cramming days were behind me. That I wouldn't be typing typing away in the beautiful silence that only comes with a completely sound asleep household - er - apartment building. But here I am, just finishing a presentation I'll deliver in 10 hours to a few thousand people. And now cutting into my precious beauty sleep to reminisce about my college days.

Hi, my name is Ellie, and I'm a Workaholic. It's taken me a long time to admit it, and I'm still not sure I completely believe it. Because I think I'm really just someone who loves her job and gets satisfaction out of doing some real awesome work.

I've spoken about this numerous times before - happiness in your job is all about finding the right company for you. There's no one perfect job for everyone, it's all about finding the right fit between you and the company.
