Indomitable Spirit

The same day we began our new and exciting journey launching GetAds, I also jump-started my path into the Martial Arts. For the last five years, I’ve been training under Grandmaster Seo in Arvada, Colorado. To say that this has brought balance to a crazy and fast-paced industry is an understatement! In the past few years, I’ve won tournaments, spared and held my own with world champions and received my conditional Black Belt. I have learned more than I could possibly ever express, but the one thing that the Martial Arts has taught me more than anything else is Indomitable Spirit.

What is Indomitable Spirit? In my own words, I would describe it as someone who has strong character and will not give up. Someone that will overcome obstacles and will never stop trying.

Affiliate Marketing is a wild roller coaster with twists, turns, ups and downs. The one thing you can always count on; things always change. In this type of environment, life is filled with excitement and stress, making it is easy to lose focus or even quit. The one thing that can guide you through it is Indomitable Spirit!

In this industry, if you work hard and give a little bit more today than you did the day before – while never giving up – you can be rewarded. Don’t look for the easy way, don’t give up and work hard!

You don’t have to train in the Martial Arts to find your Indomitable Spirit. You just have to find the will within yourself to fight through obstacles and never give up.

And the Winner for Best CPL Network Is…

GetAds has been chosen as the recipient of the 2012 CPL Award, given by The Affiliate Marketing Awards in the category of “Best CPL Network”. The primary criteria judges are looking for in this category are a CPL Network that has “great advertising campaigns and great publisher support”. GetAds was elated to be given this award, because it solidifies everything the team has set out to accomplish.

GetAds was founded with the tagline “Why GetAds? Because we get it!” While this was a bold statement at the time, this award proves GetAds stands behind the words. The GetAds team appreciates that both publishers and advertisers deserve the best support from a team that really understands and “gets” the industry. GetAds is comprised of industry veterans that have not only defined the industry but have helped build it.

This award shows GetAds is accomplishing what we set out to do, and doing it in our own way. Winning an award is always cause for celebration, but industry awards are especially significant; the judges are industry veterans and the past winner list is full of companies that have made major contributions in the space.

The GetAds team would like to thank Murray Newlands, the judges, the Affiliate Marketing Awards, and as always, the Academy. If you don’t know the GetAds team or aren’t working with us, now would be a great time to start!

Morning cuppa’

The working rituals we keep. Some of us get to work and first check our emails to get tabs on what the morning workload is looking like. Others check their voice mail first to see if that one call was returned. At some point though, most of us here at GetAds find our way to the kitchen to grab our morning cup. The beverage sitting at our desk invites us to sit down, pull up our sleeves and get down to it. Here are some of the morning ritual drinks that get us going. What is your morning routine and beverage?

Daniel- Coca Cola Classic & Monster

Dillon- Alka seltzer and Powerade when feeling under the weather

George- coffee with Italian Sweet Cream

Mike- Mint tea

 

Lou- Muscle Milk
