Let's talk about some superpowers you can have in affiliate marketing by being super focused: gaining traction and avoiding distraction.So you probably know that the world gets more and more distracted, and people that can focus and go in the direction they want - have good results.

The opposite of traction is a distraction, and it’s not a focus but traction that gives an advantage in affiliate business. Distraction is any action that pulls you away from what you were going to do and, in this way pulling you away from becoming the kind of person you want to become. So any action can be traction or destruction. Imagine that you are standing on the crossroad, and the left is traction, and if you turn right, there is a distraction. You can go anyway: you can go to the right or the left, and depending on your choice, you will be coming closer to your goal or going away from your it.

Any action can become a distraction if you are going away from where you were going in your planning—for example, checking emails or watching YouTube videos. Does it what you were planning to do, or is it something you are unconsciously doing right now? If it is so, you will go away from complicated things like creating an article or making a YouTube video, or thinking about your affiliate marketing strategy.

Distraction can come from two sources. One is external, and the other is internal.External happens, for example, when your phone rings and somebody wants to talk with you. Internal is more critical and more sophisticated. Most of the things that we are doing in our lives are dependent on internal triggers.Every product that you are using online is the answer to the equation of your inner state.For example, if you feel bored or stressed, you can watch some YouTube videos or go to the Facebook news feed. What happens there is an apparent escape from internal discomfort.

Okay, so now let's talk about how to become indestructible in 4 easy steps.Step number one is mastering the internal triggers that you have inside of you.The first step guarantees that you must be a master of your way of dealing with the discomfort that you have inside.This method will help you to do things that are only related to your goals and your success.

The second step is to make time for traction. A lot of people have a schedule. But the problem with the scheduled list is that if you don't have time for some work to do, you will worry a lot about a list of things you need to accomplish.

Instead of a schedule, you need to make a time window in your day to make some traction. For example, writing articles or creating YouTube videos or finding affiliate offers or something related to your business. A time window can have a size from 30 minutes to few hours.

The third step is to get an advantage from external triggers. If you know how external stimuli work, you can make them your aliens to help you achieve your goals.

The final fourth stage is to prevent distraction by agreeing with yourself. When you agree with yourself every time you go outside of the new things to do for you, you will remember it because you wrote it down somewhere on the paper or in your notepad, and now you are coming back to your initial goal.

Master your time, and your traction will give you a significant tremendous advantage. Because most people don't think and that’s why it is your secret advantage that you can have. Most people don't make time to think. Such people automatically react to external triggers and don't have time to think deeply about what they need to do and what strategies they need to have in their life or business.

There are two types of work: reactive work and the other is reflective work.Reflective work requires brain and mental energy, and most people don't do it because it's not something easy to accomplish. So instead, most people do reactive work.

If you want to have a substantial competitive advantage in the modern world, I can give you a magic formula:
