			<title>Manage Business Related Stress with Prayer and Meditation</title>
			<link>http://www.izania.com/blogs/Manage-Business-Related-Stress-with-Prayer-and-Meditation.html</link>
			<description>Hi Izania Family, this is the last in a series on&lt;br /&gt;dealing with business related stress with prayer&lt;br /&gt;and meditation. You may ask what is the difference&lt;br /&gt;between prayer and meditation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I don&amp;#39;t consider myself an expert or guru on&lt;br /&gt;either one of these subjects I will give you my 2&lt;br /&gt;cents on the difference. Prayer could be described&lt;br /&gt;as communicating or talking with God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we pray we tell God all about our life, goals,&lt;br /&gt;challenges, want [...]</description>

			<description>&lt;br /&gt; 	      &lt;p&gt;       	          	       Hello Izania Family, I realize in yesterday&amp;#39;s Blog&lt;br /&gt;I strayed from my usual business finance and online&lt;br /&gt;marketing focus.  Why did I write from an inspirational&lt;br /&gt;and spiritual focus instead?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth be told I did it for no other reason than&lt;br /&gt;I was moved spiritually to do so.  The spirit told&lt;br /&gt;me someone needed to see what I was moved to write.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I received a lot of thanks and positive feed back&lt;br /&gt;I  [...]</description>

			<description>Hey Izania Family, who is going to bail us out? Big&lt;br /&gt;business (primarily mortgage and financial markets)&lt;br /&gt;gets bailed out after causing a major economic slow&lt;br /&gt;down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But with a recession now clouding the country -- who&lt;br /&gt;is going to bail you and I out? Don&amp;#39;t hold your&lt;br /&gt;breath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one is going to bail us out but ourselves.

			<title>Plan to Dominate the Search Engines</title>
			<link>http://www.izania.com/blogs/Plan-to-Dominate-the-Search-Engines.html</link>
			<description>                                     I recently read in a business magazine 50% of all&lt;br /&gt; purchases are now first researched online. Did you&lt;br /&gt; also know that 90% of website traffic is first driven&lt;br /&gt; to new sites by the search engines.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; This means if you don&amp;#39;t have a search engine plan for&lt;br /&gt; your business you could be losing 50% of your business.&lt;br /&gt; Don&amp;#39;t sit on the fence when it comes to using the power&lt;br /&gt; of search engine promotion for your business.&lt;br  [...]</description>

			<link>http://www.izania.com/blogs/Remember-the-Days-in-the-Past-....html</link>
			<description>Hey Izania Members, remember those early wild and&lt;br /&gt;crazy days back in 1995. The Internet  was just&lt;br /&gt;gaining steam in commercial usage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big business was just  laying back to see if the&lt;br /&gt;net and WWW were going to have any real  impact&lt;br /&gt;on their companies. Local business people had very&lt;br /&gt;little use for  the Internet because it was so skewed&lt;br /&gt;towards an international  audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was no Google, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace or&lt;br /&gt;Blogger.  The Interne [...]</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;In a Blog I made last week I talked about 7 effective&lt;br /&gt;ways to increase your website traffic.  I wanted&lt;br /&gt;to talk about the first type today: search engine&lt;br /&gt;traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Search engines could be understood as the gateway&lt;br /&gt;to the Internet.

			<description>A recent person in a forum asked if one could really make money&lt;br /&gt; with Affiliate Programs.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; They seemed really demoralized with the whole process.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The following is some of my experience with Affiliate programs.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I can feel this writer&amp;#39;s pain.

			<description>Is your website site pulling in as much traffic and sales as it could?  It amazes me that people still start websites with no realistic strategy on how to make their websites into digital assets.  I think this has a lot to do with the media.     &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;In the media we hear all the time about rags to riches stories about Internet success stories.
