The modern marathon runner can complete the 42.x Km (26.x miles ) in under 2:10hrs. That means that they are covering each and every 100m in about 18.5 seconds – and that is pretty damn quick! It actually feels like a sprint to me !

The new wave of internet entrepreneurs need to perform like marathon runner – particularly once they have received funding.

An entrepreneur needs to get out of the blocks as soon as the cash hits the bank and sprint (like a marathon runner) until they reach the refill station – enjoy the feeling as you take on board much needed nourishment – but keep sprinting (like a marathon runner) to the finish (stopping at other refill stations as necessary).

The old saying used to be “It’s a marathon not a sprint” but with the pace at which services, products and competitors are now evolving a marathon is a sprint !
