I just read a great article about how bloggers are saving journalism as it relates to print media in newspapers and magazines.  The article was written by Jason Lee Miller, one of WebProNews’s writers.

It seems as though the “Death Of” theme has resurfaced again as it has in the Interet Marketing world many time before buy this time journalism proponents are serious and mention has even been made about providing government subsidies to print mills to keep them on their feet.

The evidence is mounting that print media is becoming less popular and it is know wonder, we can get news updates on our cell phones, crack-berries and of course a plethora of the latest, up to the minute happenings on our home and laptop computers so is it any wonder why the print media barron’s are concerned?

From a militant marketing standpoint, the owners of the major print media companies have already began to adapt to the changes in the marketplace, it’s the small town, mom & pop traditional papers that are being hit the hardest yet all it really takes to make a turnaround is to hire a worthy blogger to convert the paper into a blog and wa-la get your readers back, add some advertising and you could see some positive cash flow come to fruition.

The Traditional Marketplace is not what it used to be and those that are too slow to adapt will go the way of the 8 Track Tape, oops I am dating myself huh?  Maybe not the 8 Track but the 5 & 1/4 in. Floppy Disk, how is that?

My suggestion is to embrace the change and capitalize on it, the printing press is no longer mechanical, it is electronic and digital, it happens in real time, millions of times all around the world, all day, every day.

Adapt or be overcome!

Two days ago was an all time memorable day for me.  Since mid-summer I have been working with world class trainers and instructors, they have the esteemed duty of turning volunteer men and women who raise their hand and swear an oathe to defend your way of life.  The reason Thursday was an extremely successful day because my team and I graduated over 200 brand new defenders of freedom.

My clients often ask me “Why are you still in the Army when you could be making so much more money?”

My answer is simple, the satisfaction that I get from Commanding, Training, Teaching and Leading warriors is unmatched anywhere in the world!

My team and I now have a few weeks off that are well deserved - ah, rest and relaxation; I like that too!

Talk to You soon,

Don’t Quit

Author unknown.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road your trudging seems all uphill.
When funds are low and the debts are high and
you want to smile, but you have to sigh.

When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit!

Life is strange with its twists and turns.
As everyone of us sometimes learns, and
many a person turns about.
When they might have won had they stuck it out.

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow.
You may succeed with another go.
Often the struggler has given up.
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
and he learned too late when the night came down.
How close he was to that golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out.
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit.
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit!
