Amazon.com, Inc. was founded in 1994 under the name Cadabra, Inc. Since that time, they have risen up and raked in over $200 billion in annual revenue, and they have completely taken over the field of online shopping.Originally eCommerce meant selling electronically over your website on the World Wide Web. People would find you via your URL (an Internet address typed into a browser); or via a search engine, when they only know what they are looking for (the generic name for the product or service), but not who (your specific brand name).Today, when someone knows what they are looking for, they will (most often) start out searching in two places: #1 Amazon.com. So many have their app installed on their phone and will go directly there.#2 Google.com. When using this search engine to find products, Amazon is usually among the first results shown.If you sell products that are also sold on Amazon.com, you are left with only a few options: #1 Partner WITH Amazon. Sell your products via Amazon and give them a huge cut of the revenue.#2 Compete WITH Amazon. Build up your company to $200 Billion plus in revenue and build up a reputation that will garner the attention of Google.Partnering with Amazon may work with certain products. Some larger companies MAY be able to compete directly with Amazon, due to their position in the marketplace.Let's face the facts: neither of these options are optimal long-term. So, what other options are there? The best way to beat Amazon, is neither to join nor to compete directly with them. The best way to defeat Amazon is to do the things they can not or will not do.Amazon.com currently runs the eCommerce game due their fast service and cheap prices. So, where can YOU win?Whether Amazon.com is competition for your business or not, the 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business that are uncovered here will make you impervious to ANY competitive force for the entire lifetime of your business.

"Everything that the Church has to offer must become incarnate in a distinctive way in each part of the world, so that the Bride of Christ can take on a variety of faces that better manifest the inexhaustible riches of God's grace." -- Pope Francis, Querida Amazonia: Post-Synodal Exhortation Concerning the Synod of Bishops for the Amazon In this apostolic exhortation, Querida Amazonia ("The Beloved Amazon"), Pope Francis offers a response to the Synod of Bishops for the Amazon held in Rome in October 2019 and its final document The Amazon: New Paths for the Church and for an Integral Ecology. The pope writes this exhortation to all the faithful calling us to the task of addressing the serious social, environmental, and spiritual issues facing the region, sharing his four dreams for the people of the Amazon: A social dream -- in which we fight for the dignity of the poor in the region A cultural dream -- in which the riches and beauty of the Amazonian culture is preserved An ecological dream -- in which we all strive to preserve the natural beauty of the Amazon An ecclesial dream -- in which the faithful boldly create paths of inculturation, so that the goodness of the Amazonian culture is brought to fulfillment in light of the Gospel Pope Francis asks: "How can we not struggle together? How can we not pray and work together, side by side, to defend the poor of the Amazon region, to show the sacred countenance of the Lord, and to care for his work of creation?"

Few have ever known the honor and mystique of growing up in the virgin Amazon rainforest. In the late 1950s, Paul Johnson's family of six chose to leave the comforts of Canada to disappear into stark isolation, three weeks travel by dugout canoe from the last outpost of Bolivian civilization. Survival was precarious due to unending encounters with the anaconda, jaguar, crocodile, and an unknown hostile tribe.History shamefully confirms that so-called civilization conquered or annihilated many original Amazonian cultures. Even so, dozens of remote indigenous nations remained hidden in the vast jungle encompassing an area larger than the continental USA. The family's hope was to befriend and respect one of those tribes, equipping them holistically to face the onslaught that would inevitably invade their pristine world.For Paul's family, learning to thrive involved harvesting the bounty of the jungle, carving out a primitive base camp on the riverbank, and tolerating a multitude of insects, intense heat, and fatal tropical diseases. After three years of unimaginable sacrifice, confidence was finally earned with a Stone Age people group, ushering in a tenuous first contact.As book 1 of a trilogy of Rain Forest Memoirs, this narrative highlights the intentions and unrestrained power of God, as played out in the lives of a few ordinary messengers. Faith brought them to the forest. Perseverance kept them there. Peace that surpassed understanding sustained them throughout innumerable trials. Their legacy imparts compelling purpose and destiny for those yearning for far more in life today.

Novedoso concepto que logra crear un libro a partir de la p gina m s din mica de literatura en Facebook (el primero de una serie), publicado en Amazon con la mejor calidad de relatos cortos en espa ol.Libro de Relatos Cortos (in ditos), de no m s de media p gina que marcar un hito en las publicaciones, ya sustentadas con una participaci n tanto de diletantes, quienes son los que abordan la lectura por el gusto mismo, como de quienes pretenden escribir. Y decimos, realmente escribir con la exigencia necesaria que demanda la literatura. De un simple escrito a una composici n literaria, es el gran resultado. Es la primera p gina literaria, instructiva y de conformaci n de un libro, en toda la red. De tal manera que si surgen otras, deber n brindarnos los cr ditos. Incluso, podremos interactuar. Adem s, es la primera p gina de creaci n interactiva literaria en Facebook.Podemos afirmar que el relato corto debe ser suave como un beso o verso, pero con la ferocidad de quien pule un torso escult rico.No es f cil seleccionar nada en la vida, ni a nuestro c nyuge, trabajo o amigos, y mucho menos, un compendio de cuentos que trasciendan al exigente gusto del lector, y luego al tiempo, con la aspiraci n de convertirse en un cl sico. Esto ltimo es lo que aspira todo aut ntico autor: que su esfuerzo narrativo se convierta en un cl sico, aun mudado de este mundo. Como escuchamos de los mejores compiladores de cuentos: un relato, entre m s corto, es un viaje a portentos y prodigios imaginativos. Y tal como anexo: no quedarse en s lo un intento y con los vicios de las malas narraciones con sus lugares comunes. Es entonces que la concisi n y brevedad admirable se traduce en una proeza literaria, donde cada ficci n es una gema que abre con su destello un fascinante universo. S , un universo que provoque al lector una colisi n entre la realidad y la fantas a. Raz n por la cual nos proponemos crear una de esas muy escasas Antolog as de Cuentos que trasciendan al tiempo y a la cr tica. Hemos logrado esa certera concisi n que hizo prevalecer Edmundo Valad s, uno de los m s agudos cr ticos y seleccionadores de cuentos. Los lectores nuestros deber n ser presas de un fulgor de talento inventivo, vers til y sorprendente que trascienda tiempos y g neros futuros. Nos asomamos al arte de s ntesis en tan pocas palabras, pero suficientes para resolver con fulminante ingenio, esa mencionada colisi n entre la realidad y fantas a. Y como Valad s concluye: ir m s all de lo visible y comprensible.No pretendemos, porque realmente es inalcanzable, prevalecer una t cnica definitiva, pues sabemos que la po tica y ret rica representan los dos pilares para la construcci n de una buena historia en su brevedad. El factor sorpresa es el mayor ingrediente de cualquier tensi n narrativa, y debe estar presente cuando seleccionamos un relato que formar parte de una ambiciosa antolog a. Todos los escritores, creadores al final del d a, nos apoyamos en esos sofisticados recursos de la ret rica y la po tica, pero nuestra finalidad es llevarlos a su m ximo nivel de expresi n. El camino m s viable es el poder sugestivo de las im genes bien logradas. Es entonces que toda buena narraci n parte de los siguientes pilares para su bien lograda creaci n final: un poder sugestivo a trav s de la imagen, y el logro de una fuerza expresiva a trav s del lenguaje.Dicho lo anterior, el autor debe ir descubriendo nuevas leyes ret ricas para fascinar a sus lectores. Si sorprendemos a partir de un tema inaudito como inusitado, y todav a m s, con una forma narrativa, igualmente sorprendente, habremos logrado la gran obra literaria.
