Lately I have been gearing most of my day to prospecting new affiliates for AKMG. So I am siting in my living room watching the Track and Field US Olympic Trials and I started thinking…does my quest to find the best affiliates on the planet have to be a sprint or an endurance race?

Well I think both.

When I think of building a great affiliate business sprinting and endurance must go together. Sprinting, to make the most out of each work day. A goal I set for myself this month to contact 50 new affiliates a day. Now if have the endurance and stay consistent that could be 12,500 contacts I make in a 1 year period. Not too bad. I’m sure I will come across some great affiliates along the way.

Our sprint vs. endurance mindset also happens in other areas of our life. One thing I love to do is workout. People will always ask me, “How do I lose this?” or “How do I lose that?”. They think if you workout hard for a couple of weeks you should have amazing results! The truth is it takes the daily hard work (sprint) and the consistent habit over time (endurance) to build anything great business, health, relationship, etc…

So what do you think affiliates? Do you have that sprinters mindset? How long do you think it takes to build a successful affiliate business?

Talk to me,

Chris
