50 Yard Dash or Marathon?

[oldbuddy]

I get more questions about how I made as much money as I have than anything else and second is how do we get referrals which is closely related. The root answer is the same, have patience and persevere.

If you train for the Olympics with the idea of becoming a champion, it's different depending on which event you want to compete in, isn't it? For instance if you want to run a 50 Yard Dash, you don't train the same as someone running a marathon.

The reason I do so well at making money online, is I trained for the marathon and the immediate events of each day don't phase me. I see people dropping like flies all around me, but I just keep consistent effort going day in and day out, looking at the horizon instead of the next corner. The result is, I have been blessed with thousands of dollars in Internet earnings that I would never have had. It doesn't matter that it took me a few years to get them, they still buy as many trips and fun times as they would if I made the same amount overnight.

So ask yourself the next time you get discouraged, are you in a sprint and frustrated as you watch the leaders pull away, or is it a marathon where you can pass them later on, collapsed at the side of the track panting and exhausted while you sail by?

That reminds me of the story of the tortoise and the hare. slow and steady always wins the race. Well you have given me hope. I just started today but I felt like I haven't earned much. Right now I am at $8 but I am not giving up. I have looked over some of the other offers that pay more money and I am going to give them a try. Thank you for the encouragement.

I couldn't agree with you more old buddy. Definitely in this for the long haul. Also having some fun along the way. I still haven't cracked the referral code yet but I keep trying.
