What Price Are YOU Willing to Pay to Ignore YOUR Passion?

What Price Are YOU Willing to Pay to Ignore YOUR Passion?

Is life too short to waste 40+ hours a week working at something you don’t like?

Then maybe it's time to “Fulfill Your Passion” … and start to earn a living doing what you love the most, no matter what it is!

Like most people, your parents probably told you to do two things growing up:
Get your education and settle into a well-paying job. It doesn't matter whether you like the job or not - like Nike says - "Just Do It"!

As a matter of fact I know a fellow that got a great paying job right after he finished high school, he worked for the same company until he retired he took an early retirement - the problem - hated every single day he was there, but the money was decent. Here is the real kicker, two years after he had retired he was in a "freak" accident that took his life.


I thought about that long and hard...........
I didn't want that to be my situation.

9 of 10 people you ask will admit that they feel unfulfilled by their work. Therefore, what price are you willing to pay to ignore your passion or have something you do that fulfills your time and energy.

Take some time to reflect and if you want to consider options that can satisfy your desires. You have life experiences that can be leveraged to generate income: YOU just may not be aware of them yet. There are strategies you can use to minimize any risks as you transition to becoming an entrepreneur.

YOU can live a life of abundance, one that you can achieve your dreams, desires and goals. YOU can be, do and have whatever you desire if you are just willing to take that step forward. Just believe you can!

Abundance means more than having a lot of money. Money is an important tool to have, and it makes life easier to help fulfill your dreams and goals. I want to do everything possible to help you live a happy and abundant life. That’s why I'm hoping this short article offers you something to think about.

I would love to be able to deliver to you a powerful method that you can use immediately to begin creating greater success and help you towards living your life of passion.

Food For Thought, If you think you can.

October 4, 2011

If you think of yourself as being fat, you will be fat. If you think of yourself as being friendless and of no use to anyone, you can also fulfill those prophecies. The point is that negative imagines are self-destructive and self-fulfilling.

There is no reason for anyone to have a poor self-image on a long term basis, in spite of any excuse that might be offered. The excuse that l heard the most often is that people have been told from early childhood by their parents that they should not strive for individual levels, as they cannot expect ever to be that competent or capable.

It starts at an early age in life, a foundation that can have an everlasting effect on a child and the sad part is we didn't even know that we had something to do with how that child turns out to be. We are all so busy in life that we need to focus and make time to teach our children positive ways and show them encouragement and let them know that you take an interest in all that they do. Whether it's a test result, a picture they just painted or whatever it might be, show real affection to them, and you will see a big difference in your child.

So the next time you see you child sitting all by him or herself, and you walk up to them and ask what the matter is, and they say nothing. Well, we all have heard that statement, you need to stop all your are doing and found the root of why he or she is feeling that way. In most case it only takes a few minutes of your valuable time, but it will be the best few minutes that you invested all day.

Duplicate Content and Article Submission - Get the Facts

April 11, 2011

Duplicate Content and Article Submission - Get the Facts

Article submission is one of the best ways to get backlinks for your website, which can lead to increased traffic and more sales. The algorithms that create search engine rankings are secret, but one thing Internet marketers know is that backlinks are a major component. The more backlinks that you have related to a specific keyword phrase, the more likely that you’ll rank well for that specific keyword phrase.

Understanding that, the goal for Internet marketers becomes getting quality backlinks to their websites from as many websites as possible. In an attempt to do so, many marketers post the same article to several different article directories. While each of these article directories represents several backlinks to your website, there’s also the concern of duplicate content.

In addition to using backlinks to weigh the importance of a website, Google uses duplicate content filters to remove duplicate instances of the same content from search results. This is done to prevent website publishers from stealing content from others and publishing it as their own.

But does this apply to article directories? If you submit articles to several different article directories, will your content get caught in the duplicate content filters?

There is no definitive word on what constitutes duplicate content and what does not – but Google does try to find the original source of the content and place that first in the search engine results. This means that your website with your article will appear in your article on EzineArticles.com in the search engine results. Your main website gets preference in search engine rankings.

Your article in Ezine Articles.com and other article directories may also be safe because the duplicate content filters are specifically looking for plagiarized content. Anything you submit to an article directory is considered to be syndicated to that directory. You’re doing the submitting so you’re obviously not plagiarizing yourself. Other individuals can get in trouble if they steal your content from your site or the article directory and post it on their own website. But your article submissions will be safe.

With this in mind, what should you do to make sure that your article directory submissions are going to give you the best results? Here are three important tips to remember.

1. Use original content.

Even though your articles will be distributed over many different directories, your primary article should be original. It shouldn’t be spun or rewritten from another source. This can really affect the quality of the content and even if it isn’t caught by duplicate content filters, it could get you caught by the article directories.

2. Use the right keywords.

Effective article marketing is all about choosing the right keywords. Make sure you do keyword research first and avoid shooting into the dark with your writing and article distribution. Use your target keyword as your anchor text for your backlinks.

3. Create a strong call to action.

Traffic from distributed articles will come from the backlinks and readers who like what you have to say and click on your link. Make sure that your bio box includes a strong call to action that will motivate your reader to take the next step with you.

Expert of the Year-Wincer Song

December 11, 2010

Expert of the Year-Wincer Song

When I first conceived the idea of having an Expert of the Week for the Business Roundtable group, it was because I was running into several APSense members that were knowledgeable and most of all helpful. These were people who went out of their way to help other members and I wanted them to get the recognition that they deserved. So I created that "honor" to see that they did get that recognition

When I decided to bring it back last month I reevaluated the criteria. I wanted to make sure that those chosen were the elite quality members of the site. I evaluate candidates in several areas and I have high standards. I want to know that they are serious. Complete profiles including a photo are a must. They must be active on the site making quality contributions, and they must be generous individuals giving back to this community.

However as 2010 draws to a close, I"m switching things up a bit. I"m announcing an Expert of the year and that person will be the featured member of this group for the rest of the year. This person has worked tirelessly this past year on making APSense better, improving it for all of us.

That Expert is APSense co-founder and programmer, Wincer Song. Wincer has worked hard this past year for the benefit of APSense. Belief me, I know how hard he has been working. We all do. Just look at all the new tools and add-on's he has given us over this past year.

He is very hands-on with the site; reading and topping member blogs, running campaigns to promote members content and getting the members involved through various campaigns to create promotional materials for the site. He is always looking for ways to make the site better for all of us.

I also know Wincer as a person. He's a very approachable guy with a sense of humor. He makes himself available to the members. He is not the typical unknown behind the scenes guy writing code that no one knows or sees. He is "one of us" not a faceless unknown. I have been on APSense a long time and Wincer has always made it a point to be involved with the members.

I can't think of a better way to close out the year than to thank Wincer for all his hard work by naming him the Expert of the Year. Some members even added a few words:

(Note member comments have been edited for space)

Philippe Moisan- Anyone who starts talking to Wincer discovers he's truly a unique individual. He's a genius, of that, there is no doubt, everyone can see it, with all the changes at APSense, it happens so fast.

Paula van Dun Wincer is one of the most driven and hard working persons I know and very inventive in making APSense the best it can be. What I like most about Wincer is that he is so friendly and approachable.

Dawie Bezuidenhout- The 'Perfect Entrepreneur', this is a term that not many people would ever achieve. Wincer Song is 'The Perfect Entrepreneur', this description fits him like a glove, and he displays to us daily, through his hard work, determination and his quest to create the best business network on the internet, that he is a leader in his field.

Joseph F. BotelhoI has also been a member since the early days of APSense, have watched Wincer lead APSense to where it is today. One of the best Business Social Sites you as a member can ever work with. Wincer has never settled for second, his vision, dream of where and what APSense will become in the future is a vision he has had since day one.


Once again to our Leader Founder of APSense Congratulation from all of us here at APSense. You are the Expert of The Year without a doubt from anyone...
