• Focus on the now: Get ride of distractions while work. This'll include interruptive communication like IM, cell phones, email, twitter. Focus on the now.

• There's always something happening: Even if there seems to be nothing to do, or nothing going on, keeping your eyes and ears open will open up new opportunities, new promotion methods, new offers. But you have to look.

• Dealing with setbacks: In the movie, the Dan Millman character is set for a place in the Olympic gymnastics team, till he gets into a motorcycle accident and shatters one of his leg bones in 17 pieces. The movie goes through his effort of rebuilding his career and his life, just like most marketers will be picking up the pieces after a traffic campaign gets slapped, or a highly profitable offer is removed.

• The Emotion game: You've probably heard/read/seen how emotions, especially a fear of failure – a failed campaign, uncertainty of  a new campaign – can shake a marketer's confidence. Likewise, I think the movie does a great job of highlighting some of the challenges that almost every active internet marketer will face, and how Dan deals with these issues (not always successfully).
