PRODUCTIVITY & SELF – SMALL SHIFTS THAT LEAD TO BIG GAINS IN EFFECTIVENESS:
•Decision Maker Process: Limiting beliefs are the root of a mindset that holds you back in life from achieving the results you desire. A good solution is the DMP. It’s a breakthrough process that allows you to remove limiting beliefs in about 20 minutes. Remove limiting beliefs like “I’m not important”, or “I’m just not talented enough”. Check out my review.
•Focus: Focus is about finding simplicity in this age of distraction we live in. It’s also about cultivating the focus that you need to create beautiful stuff, to work on what is important, to reflect, and to find peace in daily life. You can pick up the book for free, or purchase a premium version with some awesome extras.
•Simple Guide to a Minimalist Life: If you are curious or wonder what a simple/minimalist life can look like, this is a great little book to read. As the author states, this book is but only one person’s experience. Regardless, Leo Babauta lays out the essential guidelines with tools he used to simplify his life.
•Sell Your Crap: A cool take on simplicity. Throw out all your lifestyle overhead that is suffocating you AND make money in the process. This guide will teach you what to get rid of and where.

DATING & RELATIONSHIPS – RESOURCES TO CREATE THE ROMANTIC LIFE YOU DESIRE:
AWESOME COURSES FROM PROFESSIONAL COACHES
•Men’s Mastery Course – If you have made the commitment to yourself to get your dating life in order AND want a course that teaches virtually every interaction with women from the meeting all the way to the bedroom…check out this awesome course from the #1 dating coach for men, David Wygant. My review.
•The Art of Attracting Men (for women)- If you are tired of meeting all the wrong guys, guys who flake out, guys who are only interested in sex, guys who are overly possessive, and instead want guys you actually like to start approaching you, this course was made for you. On top of all that, it also gives insight into a mans behavior so you know whether or not he is marriage minded or not. My review. •Finding the One Online: A highly acclaimed course that teaches women how to have success with online dating. Ev is a dating coach specializing in “smart, strong, successful” women. Over 20% of all US marriages are a result of online dating. Ev will show you the ropes. Read his entire sales page to best understand his course. I highly recommend.
•Secrets of Online Dating:Same as above, except this course was designed for men and was created by David Wygant. Learn how to leverage dating sites and start meeting women you like. (hint, stop being safe and generic).
•Tantra Sex Techniques: What exactly is Tantra? Tantra is a combination of exercises, education, and intimacy to help you perform better in bed via sex positions, breathing exercises, sensuality and sexuality teachings. It will help you become a prolover. Check out my review.
DATING SITES THAT DELIVER
•Match.com: One of the best dating sites on the web. Paid, but has the largest community of active singles.
•Singlesnet:Create a profile in minutes literally minutes and start flirting with local singles. I meet a Brazilian Aupair of here (lucky me!). It’s well worth checking out.
•Plenty of Fish: The best free dating site period. Tends to have a lot of free dating site bums as I call them, but it’s free and feature rich.
BOOKS/BLOGS THAT ARE REALLY GOOD
•Think Like a Man, Act Like a Lady: Learn what men really think about dating, relationships, and YOU.
•How To Date: A thickish red book on how to date in a post dating world. I picked this up in Boarders and it was so much better than I thought it would be. Covers from a broad perspective everything to do with dating (if you need more specific advice/tactics, check out the dating courses listed)
•Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus: Learn the differences between men and women, and how to bridge those differences to create a better relationship.
•Online Dating Guide: My free 5,000+ word post about online dating (I’m told it’s good).
•Why He Disappeared: A great ebook from Evan Mark Katz, a professional dating coach for women, covering why guys seem interested at first, but then flake out in a relationship based on the signals YOUR sending. He also provides tactics and how to fix it and keep your guy interested.
HEALTH & FITNESS – MASTER THE BODY, IMPROVE YOUR CONDITION:
•Turbulance Training: What I really like about Turbulance Training is it’s comprehensive fat loss and muscle building exercise and routines, as well as the circuit workouts. If you want some great in home training on how to get into really good shape, are serious about doing it, and are a motivated self starter, this is a great fitness course. My review.
•P90X: An in home fitness product that will take you in just 90 days, to get back in shape, or build the body you’ve always wanted. All you need is a set of dumbbells or resistance bands, a pull-up bar, and about an hour a day. No gym membership required.

•Recession Proof Graduate: A free ebook on how to get any job out of college (hint: stop waiting for permission and start doing free work)
•Minimalist Business: EOD is a minimalist business. Whats that exactly? It’s a business that makes a profit, has a low overhead, and leverages technology and automation so you can live and work anywhere in the world.
•Make Money Blogging: By far, the most comprehensive blog post on how to make money blogging on the web…from of all places a Christian Personal Finance Blog. Regardless of your interest in personal finance, if you’re looking for a free guide this post is the place to start.
INTERNET BUSINESS COURSES
•Site Build It: This is a comprehensive course that is an all in one program, software, and guidance to help the completely new and inexperienced person interested in creating websites get going on building an online business. SBI teaches you the basics, and provides you all the tools you need to create your very own income generating website.

They go over keyword research, how to create content that ranks in search engines, how to build links, and how to really make money with AdSense and affiliate marketing.

•Blogmastermind:Yaro Starak is a problogger who makes over half amillion dollars a year from his publishing empire. He created blogmastermind as a way to teach others how to do the same in any niche or topic based around a blog and your individual passion. Highly recommend if you’re starting out.
•Gurilla Influence Formula: OK, so you have a blog, you know what you’re doing but have not really broken through yet. Tyler Tervooren of Advanced Riskology (my interview with him here) blew up on the scene by reaching 2,000+ subscribers in only three months. In GIF, he reveals exactly how he did it and actionable steps you can repeat NOW to do the same. If you want an effective course, but not something as pricey as Blogmastermind, GIF is an awesome alternative.
BOOKS WORTH VIEWING
