After Years of Being Queen Bower Bird!

The Bower Bird is famous for flying around and picking up shiny objects with which to decorate it's nest. And I'm all for shiny objects to decorate the nest. However, in the internet world, shiny objects are beautiful distractions, things that make you believe you have found the Holy Grail of internet marketing. That one last thing missing from your toolbox that will ensure you make millions.
Well, I'm here to tell you that we're better off emulating the Magnificent Frigate Bird rather than the Bower Bird. The Magnificent Frigate Bird...ah, how could you not love it? The name alone is fabulous!
This bird has an 85" wingspan and spends day and night in flight, soaring from the surface of the sea to as high as 8200 feet and covering more than 139 miles before landing. It never lands on the water and eats in flight. The parallels with internet marketing are obvious to anyone who has participated in our journey!
There is no shiny object that will make you succeed! There is only persistence and consistency and I consider Wealthy Affiliate a guiding force that helps ensure focus. Leave those shiny objects behind!
