Forget About "New Age": Tap Into The Ancient Wisdom in Psalms and Proverbs [ August 5th, 2008 ] Posted in » Spiritual Marketing

So now, for wisdom, inspiration, instruction, and advice, I go straight to the source: scripture.

I was pleasantly reminded of this after reading a wonderful post by Cameron Schaefer on Schaefer's Blog entitled "7 Proverbs for Skilled Living".

Like me, Cameron engages in daily reading of scripture:

Nearly every morning for the past 5 years I have sat down and read a chapter from the book of Proverbs. Since there are 31 in all it sets up nicely for reading one a day. It continues to amaze me the depth of wisdom found in each chapter covering every area of life from relationships to money to career advice. - Cameron Schaefer

Keyword Research: The Quick, Dirty, and Free Method

Performing keyword research is essential for success in any form of online marketing.

There are many tools that will assist you in this process.

7 Tips to Start Your Day Off Right

How many of us start the day off abruptly awakened by the alarm clock?

Your first thought as you turn it off, or quickly hit the "snooze" button, is, "Oh no, I just want to stay in bed!"

I realize that quotes from the Bible may not be for everyone, but imagine how different your day would begin if your first thought was:

This is the day which the Lord has made;

Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

-Psalm 118:24

What a wonderful prayer!

What a wonderful thought to start your day!

The bottom line is that starting your day off in the "right" frame of mind will work wonders in helping you create the life you desire.
