Fifty-two year-old Paul McNeel, a fire chief from Leonardtown, Maryland was 37 in 1996 when a sudden health problem caused the loss of his small intestine. Almost all of it had to be surgically removed to save his life. For 13 years after that, McNeel continued to fight fires and stayed alive by feeding himself a special liquid formula through a tube that went from a port in his chest directly to his heart and into his bloodstream. Over time that feeding process called TPN or total parenteral nutrition took a toll on his body; it was damaging his liver and he began to suffer frequent and worsening infections. McNeel needed a life-saving transplant that 13 years earlier would not have been survivable. Thanks to research into improved surgical methods, better anti-rejection medications and a better understanding of the small intestine, McNeel was able to have that transplant in May 2009 at Georgetown University Hospital under the care of Thomas Fishbein, MD, executive director of the Georgetown Transplant Institute and a specialist in small bowel transplants.

The question is whether to buy an entire vineyard or just a bottle of tequila - the answer to this question doesn’t always depend on the price. While normally nobody would even give it a thought, a fine tequila distillery in Mexico has filled a bottle that probably will not change hands for any less than 3.5 million U.S. dollars - the equivalent of an unbelievable 2.5 million Euros. Prince William and Kate would be surprised, as a bottle of their wedding Champagne only costs a mere 165 euros. German TV legend Günther Jauch is more interested in the products of his own vineyard - from which the quiz master learns a lot, as he says.

As you may know, my name is Greg Artz and this begins our journey to learning Internet Marketing Strategies that will help you surge forward in developing your online business and help you achieve your goals and dreams. But before we can begin, I want to share a little history with you about internet marketing.
Today\'s economy has been quite the shaky one and more and more people have been looking to find other sources of income. There aren\'t a lot of choices for most of us and that is one of the reasons many people are turning to internet marketing.
Internet Marketing Will Open Previously Closed Doors
Not only people, but even large and small corporations have also been turning to internet marketing. This is because it becomes very easy and inexpensive for them to maintain a relationship with their client base. They can easily advertise their business to places all over the world and create sales that just would have been non-existent otherwise.
Internet marketing has helped to create tons of self made millionaires because of it\'s flexibility to work with as many different companies, in as many different niches as you wish. You have the ability to share your knowledge with the world and make tons of money doing it.
Internet marketing gives you the power to be your own boss and set your own schedule. Some of us just don\'t do well under the raps of working for someone else. This is the way I have always been. I like being independent and that\'s why I personally love internet marketing so much.
