Recently I ran across a civilian gentleman that asked,"How can
military transitioning can be complicated for a person
leaving the military?" Basically, he wanted for me to
define the term military transition to where he could
relate and understand the process. "It's just changing jobs,
right?", he asked.

Before I began explaining the process, I made sure that
he realized that the transitioning process we were addressing
could apply to police officers, firemen, EMTs, and any other
job that has it's own lingo and culture.

In addition to the above occupations, a person who serves as
a teacher, a professor, a lawyer, an attorney, a public
official and every occupation you can think of goes through
some sort of transition once they no longer perform their
primary occupation.

We inevitably become like the people we work with and adopt
the thought process for that particular field. This thought
process then becomes a part of our lifestyle, identity,
vocabulary, and reasoning. The power of the thought process
and transformation of our identity in relation to our occupation
is underestimated. To put this theory to test, imagine taking a
30 day vacation and see how you feel by the 21st day. How
would your first day back to work feel? It takes 21 days
to acquire a habit.

Once we separate ourselves from that occupation, our identity
is tested. Once we leave or change occupations, we undergo a
self-discovery phase with our identities and experience an
identity transformation process. There are several events that
can kick off a self-discovery process within us (i.e. new job,
new location, new career field, marriage, divorce, etc).

A transition is just that, a transition. Ask any retiree
(civilian or military). Amazingly so, a person leaving the
military not only goes through a transition with an occupation,
they go through a lifestyle transition as well. Then if the
person relocates, there's a host of transitions occurring
simultaneously. All of these changes can cause sensory overload
if the person isn't prepared for the transition. (Hopefully this
analogy helps someone who hasn't served in the military understand
that military transitioning is a combination of transitions).

Over the past year, I'm really glad to see more supporting
websites and businesses online for military transitioning.
There was a need and the need for military transitioning
services will increase with our brothers and sisters returning
from war. Some say there isn't a war going on. If there is
blood being shed, that spells war to me and many others.


Food For Thought:


The lifesyle transition a military person experiences is the
transition of living within the civilian society. Our military
communities are very close knit. Imagine a base or post being a
little city with a population of approximately 2000 or less. A world
within a world, a microcosm in a macrocosm.

Transitions to Ponder:

1. Going from elementary school to junior high.
2. Going from junior high school to high school.
3. Going from high school to college.
4. Graduating from college and entering the work force.
5. Leaving home.
6. Going from single to married.
7. Going from childless to having children.
8. Watching children grow up.
9. Watching children leave home.
10. Going from a full nest to an empty nest.
11. Retirement, etc...
12. Leaving the earth plane as a living being.

Transitions are inevitable. That's living life.

Stay tuned for more on transitioning and it's affects. If

We're still tightening up things with our new project. Our new project offers a way for people leaving the military, military families, and veterans to find articles on key topics they need. In other words, it's real hard to find quick information and tips on certain topics. You'll find yourself drowning in the internet to research certain topics to help you military transition. On our article directory, you're able to search a topic and find articles related to the topic you're searching. Articles are being added daily so be sure to visit the site frequently.

What we did was come up with an article directory where experts share their expertise and before going to their respective web site, you'll able to get valuable, key information about your topic. Please read press release below. Companies and services are encouraged to submit articles of substance for our uniformed comrades and place a link for free in our directory.

Long Beach, CA (PRWEB) April 2, 2006 -- An independent military transition coach has implemented a military transition tips article web site for people leaving the military and their families.

"Finding information to transition out of the military was very frustrating," explained Johnetta Matthews, an independent military transition coach. "For some reason, I felt very lost and didn't have a place where I could conduct thorough research on various military transitional topics. As time approaches for a person to look at their front gate through their rear view mirror for the last time, information is needed immediately. There had to be a solution to this dilemna." Thus, Military Transition Tips was born.

Companies and business owners can submit articles to our article web site to show expertise in their respective field. A military transition tips article web site was needed for experts to convey vital information on civilian topics and for people to be able to search and find them.

Military, military families, and veterans could use information on a compact article directory on the following topics:

1. Employment Tips
2. Self employment options
3. Investing Tips
4. Housing and Real Estate Tips
5. Military and Veteran Discounts
6. Military Loans
7. Military Placement/Staffing Agencies
8. Career Fair Strategies and Locations
9. Transitioning to Working from Home
10. Online Colleges' Tips
11. Colleges and Universities Tips
12. Trade Schools' Tips
13. Military Transition Tips for military, veterans, and their families
14. Pertinent clubs and associations
15. Insurance Tips
16. Civilian Health Care Tips
17. Life/Military Transition Coaching
18. Relocation Tips
19. Financial Tips
20. PTSD Information
21. Disabled Veterans Information

All information is searchable so veterans and people the military would be able to search on term of interest. Related keywords throughout articles are the keys to being located.

A successful civilian lifestyle depends on having diverse information on various topics and tips. Our men and women in uniform deserve to have an information portal that provides information from experts that would be of value to their military transition.

All chamber of commerce throughout the nation are highly encouraged to submit short articles on employment options, recreation, major industries, housing, and information regarding education in their respective city. It would be highly recommended to submit a url to the chamber of commerce city page. This information would gravely assist a military person on deciding where to live upon separation or retirement.

New site is located at http://www.militarytransitiontips.com and experts are welcomed to submit articles that link back to thier respective web sites.

"Key thing to remember, a military person leaving the military experiences many different transitions simultaneously. It's not just about leaving the military, it's about learning how to adjust to civilian life", commented Johnetta Matthews, "Timely information is the key to their success".

Johnetta Matthews served in the military for nearly 22 years and has dedicated her life to helping people transition from the military. For more information visit www.veteransinmotion.com and www.veteransinmotion.blogspot.com .


Summary:

The largest frustration with leaving the military is lack of timely information. Johnetta Matthews, military transition coach, served the military for nearly 22 years and has launched a military transition tips article web site where people leaving the military can research a wide variety of information and businesses can submit their articles free to our men and women in uniform with a reciprocal link.

As many of you may know, we've started an article directory
at Military Transition Tips. The previous post shows our
published press release requesting articles to be read
by people transitioning out of the military and for
military veterans.

There are so many benefits to submitting artictle to
an article directory. Submitting an article to an
article directory allows for the author to have
free viral advertising. The key is to submit
your articles to as many article directories that
you possibly can. (Key point to upcoming military and
veteran business owners).

Most article directories are not niche specific such
as ours. When you submit articles to our article directory,
it's specifically for people leaving the military or who are
experiencing a military transition.

If you have a business (even if you're a military
person or veteran) you'll benefit tremendously by
submitting articles to our directory.

Many of the benefits are listed in the below article.
Keep in mind, articles submitted to our Military
Transition Tips Directory are subject to be
posted on this blog. Please keep this in mind.
We will advertise free for you if the article can
relate to a military person, veteran, or their
families.

The below article is one of the many articles in our
Military Transition Tips Article Directory. See the below
article, Benefits Of Article Marketing for article marketing:

Benefits Of Article Marketing

In the real world, advertising is synonymous with more
expenses for the business enterprise. TV spots, print ads,
promotional campaigns… companies will have to spend just
to get their business message to as many people as possible.
Thankfully, online ventures are not beholden to such a rule.
The World Wide Web provides so many channels wherein
marketing campaigns can be launched without having to type
in your credit card details. Amazing, isn’t it?

This is the reason why Internet marketing has blossomed to
what it is today. It is very accessible to many people, as steep
financial investments are more of the exceptions rather than
the general rule. Indeed, there are many avenues on the
Internet that would allow a business with an online presence
to advertise its offerings.

One of these amazing avenues, and quite possibly, the most
cost-efficient and powerful of them all, is article marketing.

By its very label alone, you would immediately get the idea
that it has something to do with writing articles. This is correct.
You see, by writing articles about the subject matter relevant
to our business, and by distributing the same to the many
channels in the World Wide Web, we will be able to reach so
many people and each of them would regard us as experts
in the field.

Still confused as to how article marketing works? Here is a
step-by-step guide that would teach you the ins and outs of
this fantastic marketing strategy:

Write a premium, highly informative 300 to 1,200 word
article about the subject of your business. If your business,
for example, is concerned with dog care, you could write an
article about proper dog grooming.

Include a resource box at the end of your article. Your
resource box is a concise summary of who you are, what
you’re about, and could also have a link to your website.

Submit your article to the many article directories that
can be found on the web.

Every time a person gets to read your article as displayed
in the article directories, the link to your website would be
exposed and there is a higher likelihood of gaining more
unique visitors for your web pages. These article directories
are seen by millions of people each and every day, as they
are easily indexed by the search engines.

The philosophy behind article marketing is a tactic popularly
referred to as back linking. Since getting indexed in the search
engines is quite a difficult chore, and often, the results would
take months before they could bear fruit, a lot of Internet
marketers have resorted to back links to get a piece of the
search engine pie.

Back links are links to your website which you manage to
display in other sites that have a high Page Rank (PR) in
the search engines. It’s almost tantamount to piggybacking
your way to instant online prominence.

There are so many benefits that can be derived from article
marketing. Do consider the following:

If you could write your own article, it’s a free marketing vehicle.

If you can’t write your own article, or if you simply don’t have
the time to prepare a piece, you could always hire a ghostwriter
to write one for you. The going rate for a standard 500 word
article is 3 to 10 dollars.

Including your link in the resource box would make it visible to
the many people who would get to read your article. This could
potentially equate to an equal amount of new traffic for your site.

There is always a chance that your article would get picked up
by an electronic newsletter, called an eZine, and this would expose
your link to new audiences which could also result in new traffic for
your web pages.

There is also a chance that your article would get picked up by a
printed publication, and the readership of the same would get to
know the products or services which your business offers.

By writing a highly informative piece, you’ll be able to brand
yourself as an expert in the field in the eyes of your readers.
They’ll get to trust you with their needs, whenever they would
arise. This is pre-selling at its finest!

With all that is going for article marketing, there should be no
questions as to why it is heralded as one of the most potent
marketing strategies today. Try it out and elevate your advertising
campaign to the next level, all without spending a single cent at that.

Federal health authorities recommended Monday that doctors suspend using Rotarix, one of two vaccines licensed in the United States against rotavirus, saying the vaccine is contaminated with material from a pig virus. (CNN)

Infants have an immature immune system that naturally gets challenged all the time by germs and toxins from the environment and people. This constant exposure helps the complex primary (mucous membranes and gut) and secondary (cellular blood cells and antibodies) human immune systems to keep the body as free from disease as possible.

Vaccines play havoc with this interweaving of and interplay of organic chemistry and which has an effect on every part of the development of the child. This interference is evident in the latest story of the rotavirus vaccine having a DNA contaminant from an animal during its manufacture. this discovery was by chance through a research group's examination of vaccines looking for any such contamination.

Rotavirus symptoms in babies and toddlers tend to be much more serious because of their developing immune system. (www.whattoexpect.com)

Doesn't it stand to reason that the "developing immune system" is also heavily tested by vaccines?

Around 4 to 5 million babies are born in the US each year. 100 infants have been reported by the CDC to die from rotavirus each year, which is a severe stomach ailment. We'll never know the huge toll getting vaccines takes on infants because the government, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and establishment medicine, close their eyes to this travesty in favor of the money to be made from vaccines. 1 million children received the vaccine for rotavirus already this year.

Almost all children have become infected with rotavirus by their third birthday. Repeat infections with different viral strains are possible, and most children have several episodes of rotavirus infection in the first years of life. After several infections with different strains of the virus, children acquire immunity to rotavirus. (www.medicinenet.com)

Vaccines for rotavirus require multiple doses, and most vaccines do not confer lifelong immunity, as do the antibodies to the actual germs.

And, as the drug companies like to state, the bottom line is that no one can prove the efficacy of any vaccines because there has never been a scientific double-blind study to prove they work. The statistics cited by the CDC are admittedly self-serving and vague in order to provide P R for citizens to line up for their vaccines.

As for me--my own DNA is quite enough, thank you. I'll pass on the pig virus.

Want to learn something about which you thought you already know? Watch Jimmy Carter's interview on Tavis Smiley from October 25, 2010:

Issues covered included the Supreme Court decision earlier this year that paved the way for unlimited corporate contributions. Carter succinctly details the results of huge secret contributions to candidates that the law allows to be hidden; US dealings with China as the world economy shrinks--Carter's been there and has a better understanding than anything you'll hear in the mainstream media.

He reminisces about working with congress on a bipartisan level that is gone in our times. If the republicans win back the House, it might be OK after all because then blame can't fall on the democrats for everything wrong in our society.

It happens almost daily in this great country of ours. A new real estate agent gets thier license. Then, they set off on a journey to learn how to get customers and how to do business.

Unfortunately for most of them, they try for about 3 to 6 months, don't get any business, and quit. Why?

Well, look at it this way - if you opened up a new business and had no customers in your first 6 months - what would you do? I know that I would be questioning my own abilities at getting cusomters, wouldn't you?

Having seen this happen so many times with new agents, I knew that there had to be a way to give new agents the tools and techniques they needed to succeed quickly. Over a 5 year period, I deveoped what I call our proprietary "Fast Start" program.

This program takes someone with zero sales experience, with no knowledge of marketing and teaches them the basics of response generating advertising and marketing. Most real estate agents have no idea why people call on an ad. When the students in Fast Start complete their training, they not only know why, but they can accurately track their ad performance and cost per call. They can also measure conversion rates. All of these things are a must for any business.

The second big part of this program is how to manage those leads that are generated and follow up with them so that they actually become customers or clients. The students are taught to set up a simple follow-up system and several different "action plans". Combining this foolow-up system with the lead generation is the cornerstone of the Fast Start program.

Most of the students who apply what they learn in the real world ususally have a real estate transaction pending within their first 30 days. That's how good the program works. Not everyone who goes through the program is successfull. Some students learn the information and then do not apply it. Why? Hard to say. I think one of the biggest reasons is fear of success.

They know that if they are successfull, they'll have to work. They also know that if they are successfull, most of their problems will go away and they won't have any excuses any more. Of course, it's just my opinion.

If you are in the real estate business and actually WANT success - you should take our next Fast Start training class and get on the fast track to success.

ePartners is making it's debut in Alabama in 492 cities statewide. ePartners is a nationwide relocation network that allows anyone to search for and find properties for sale in any city any time.

The local cities are affiliated with an agent or team of real estate agents who work the areas and are specialists in properties in each city. They can help members of the homebuying or homeselling public find exactly what they are looking for.

The ePartners network also contains specific city information on schools and neighborhoods, shopping and restaurants, and parks and recreation.

Sellers can market their homes through the nationwide network and buyers can easily find them from anywhere in the United States.

Some of the main sites are very easy to find: Alabamawebpage.com, Montgomerywebpage.com are examples of url's that make this network very consumer friendly.

The ePartners network also allows real estate agents to easily get plugged into a nationwide relocation and referral network.

ePartners is set to take off in early December 2006. We will be watching.

Because of the change in real estate market conditions, more sellers are competing for fewer buyers. So once again, it seemed important to challenge a long-standing "myth" of real estate.

"The initial listing price isn't that important because the price can always be adjusted down later."

Many homeowners believe this.
It is a myth.
Not true.

If most buyers first viewed your house because of a newspaper ad, a magazine, the internet, brochures, or the sign in your front yard, the initial listing price probably would not make a difference. The house would always be "new" to those seeing it.

But most buyers do NOT come to your house because of various types of advertising. That is the another myth.

Sure, buyers call on an ad, they often LOOK at that house, but not always. Once they talk to an agent, they may discover it isn't what they need (or want) at all.

However, they ARE talking to an agent. That agent knows the current inventory and will know of other property that DOES fit their needs.

Those are the properties that buyers look at, and THIS is how most buyers end up looking at your house, too. Because of other agents, not because of your ad.

Hardly anyone buys the house in the ad.

As a result, you need to get other agents interested in your property, and this is where your listing agent comes in...and why a good listing agent is extremely important. The listing agent gets buyer's agents looking at your home.

Those agents have clients who called in on other properties.

Buyer's agents are not swayed by advertising. They look at the needs of the client, where the client wants to live, location, condition, and other details of the property...
And most importantly....
...price.

If your house is overpriced, agents are going to show similar homes that are priced more attractively. Your listing will get passed over.
Agents pay MOST attention to homes newly on the market. There are fewer NEW listings than current listings. It is easier to keep an eye out for what is NEW, compared to the vast number of current listings.

New listings are on the "hot" sheet circulated in real estate offices. The MLS computer identifies new listings. Your listing agent may hire a service to distribute fliers to all the buyer's agents. There are office previews and MLS tours to showcase new listings. A lot of attention is focused on what is NEW.

With agent's looking at newly listed homes so aggressively, a properly priced home gets attention.

An overpriced home gets passed over.

You may be thinking, "But I'm willing to negotiate!"

Buyers aren't thinking in advance about how much you are willing to negotiate. They are comparing your asking price to other asking prices.

Plus, when your house is new on the market, you may not be willing to negotiate as much as you will later, once you've realized your error. Keep in mind that statistics show, quite often, the first offer is the best offer.

So what happens if you overprice in the beginning and get more realistic later?

You don't have all those important Buyer's Agents looking at your listing because it is NEW. A price reduction later in the listing cycle often gets overlooked. It is just one of many listings, not one of a few new listings.

As time passes, you could actually become desperate to sell because you've accepted a new job or because you have already bought a new home.

That is a recipe for receiving lowball offers, so you could end up selling for less than if you had priced the home correctly in the first place.

Agents know this stuff, but many sellers still mistakenly believe they should "price it high" because they can lower the price later, if necessary.

That is not the best strategy.

Podcasting Insights estimates that there are currently 750,000 podcasts in existence, with a combined archive of over 30 million episodes. That begs the question: Does the world really need another podcast?

The answer: yes!

The audience for podcasts is insatiable, always hungry for new insights, new experiences and new voices. And for the people on the other end of the earbuds -- the creators -- podcasts offer a ton of rewards, including bolstering their credentials as an expert, creating new revenue streams, building brand awareness for their business and, honestly, podcasting is just really fun to do.

As of writing, there are more than 750,000 podcasts in existence and more than 30 million episodes in circulation. This jaw-dropping statistic isn't all that surprising considering podcasts are great resources for new and varied insights, staying educated and informed and a fascinating avenue for entertaining content. That's why a lot of people want to get in on the trend. Not only do they get to share their ideas with a massive audience, but podcasting also allows for raising brand awareness and generating revenue.

With that said, it's not easy setting up your own show.

Let me tell you: it was a journey. Learning how to podcast is easy on the one hand, but keeping it up requires grit. I struggled. I celebrated. I attracted clients. I considered quitting at times. I got fan mail. I stuck with it.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

It has now been over 17 months, and I've learned some things. If you are thinking of starting a podcast, here are a few mistakes I'd recommend avoiding:

1. Spending too much money
You do not need a bunch of fancy equipment to start a podcast. Trust me. I spent $65 on a used Yeti microphone and pop filter from some guy off Craigslist and started recording the next day.

First we posed the question all of us with a podcast get asked most often: What should you know before launching a show?
