Internet articles publishing/syndication makes it possible to market products/services to an unlimited audience at zero cost FOREVER! Do you do it? If YES, then I expect you know what I mean - especially when you have an international target audience. If NO, then seriously consider slowing down on your current business marketing spending, and taking time to learn how to use this cost-effective alternative that guarantees long term results. My articles are being syndicated across the net and I have a growing subscriber email database as a result(due to readers taking up the various free offers made in my articles), plus have received requests for my services from some, since I began using this method. Google the string "How to use articles syndication to gain name recognition for business marketing" to learn more. Below, I list two articles, each with two links to websites where they have been re-published/syndicated from my articles source at ezinearticles.com a. How To Be A Jack Of Many Trades™ - And Why It Can Make You Succeed More Often! Found here | And here b. How To Choose The Right Web Design Company Found here | Also here |

I have had some nasty experiences driving along the Benin-Ore road(with my family in the car) on three unforgettable occasions. One time, my car stopped because of failed engine valves, a bad alternator and a resultant run down battery. From 1.00pm in the evening till 10.00pm at night we were at Ore, where a team of "crack" roadside mechanics took my engine apart and put it back together - with me watching closely and asking questions(What I learnt that day about car engines, serves me well today!). After it all, we declined the offer to take up accommodation at a rundown motel there, and resumed our journey at 10.30 pm to get to Benin. I drove at over 150km/hr in the hope that armed robbers(if any) on the way would be too scared to stop us. Apart from terrible potholes we ran into because of this, I also ended up losing a wheel cover. While sharing this experience with a colleague later on, I vividly recall him saying "I've never lost a single wheel cover since I started driving along that road." Although I did not take him up on it, that statement immediately struck me as rather naive. If a person measures his progress by the fact that s/he's never had anything go wrong with his/her plans, then s/he is in big trouble. The only way nothing will ever go wrong with anything you do(or plan to do) is if you never do(or plan to do) something you have never done before! In other words you would be risk-averse. If you are, then you will also be success-repellent!! My personal experiences as a person who has ALWAYS thrived(and often emerged better off) in the midst of problems and challenging experiences tells me you learn most, and mature faster, when you embark on intelligent risk-taking and mistake making. So what if you never have a setback or nothing bad or embarrassing ever happens to you? That says nothing to anyone really. If anything, it confirms that you will not be remembered for anything exceptional or outstanding either. Why? Because you would not have ventured beyond what you believe you can pull off. That would mean you will only be found doing those things you already know how to do - and most people are very good at that, so it wouldn't be a great achievement by any means. Some Examples. Athletes run up hills to build leg muscles and stamina. Running on level ground would have been "easier", but would not push them to break new thresholds of performance. Those who work out subscribe to the axiom "No pain. No gain" because they know if they do not continue to INCREASE the weight of dumb-bells they lift, their biceps/other muscles would NOT continue to grow in size! The same rule applies in the intellectual realm: "The brain that is not used suffers atrophy" - Thomas Edison "The mind must be exercised if it is to grow and strengthen. The more you use your mind, the more it will improve your ability to think" - Jay Anderson James Cook, author of the best selling book "The Startup Entrepreneur" called those experiences "Shrewd Instructors". They teach hard lessons, which inevitably equip anyone who undergoes them, to succeed! A person who makes a habit of taking the short term comfort route by avoiding difficulty, adversity, hardship etc is likely to end up also "avoiding" long-term success, and may end up missing a chance(s) to achieve a worthwhile existence. The following quotes sum it up quite well. :-) If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing.' - Benjamin Franklin 'A knowledge of the path cannot be substituted for putting one foot in front of the other.' - M. C. Richards 'Inside each of us are powers so strong, treasures so rich, possibilities so endless, that to command them all to action would change the history of the world.' - A Hero In Every Heart
