			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are back from Berlin so here&#8217;s the new update for week 19 of 2010 (05/10 &#8211; 05/16).</p>
<p><strong>Miracles</strong></p>
<p><a title="Quick Update for Week 18 of 2010" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/2010/05/quick-update-for-week-18-of-2010/" target="_blank">Last week</a> I told you about my grandmother. She is home now and quickly reaching the end. My mother told me that she&#8217;s really calm and serene. It probably will not take long now for her to pass away. She has said goodbye to all her loved ones and seems to be at peace. One of the last things she talked about was about something she experienced while she was in the hospital. My grandmother is someone who is interested in esoteric and paranormal things, but normally things that those things happen to other people and certainly not to her. From her hospital room she could see trees full of black birds &#8211; crows I think. She really wished there would be a white bird amongst all those other black birds. And just then, a white bird appears and stays around for a while and spreads its wings &#8211; just as if to say &#8220;Here I am&#8221;. When she told the story to my mother, she was clearly moved. And then she quickly added that the white bird could just have passed by &#8211; that it could all be coincedence. Of course, that could be true. But sometimes it&#8217;s nice to the think miracles do happen.</p>
<p><strong>Berlin</strong></p>
<p>The last few days we were in Berlin. It&#8217;s a beautiful city with lots of history and plenty of things to see. With our <a title="Barcelona Encounter" href="http://www.amazon.com/Barcelona-Encounter-Best-Damien-Simonis/dp/1741791618/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Barcelona Encounter</a> (Lonely Planet) as our guide we went on a quick sight seeing tour. Here are some tips for if you ever plan to visit Berlin.</p>
<ol>
<li>Visit museums and more specifically, visit the right museums. The second day we visited the Pergamon museum. Certainly one of the best museums I&#8217;ve been too. Be sure to take the audio guide (included in the admission price). The museum features Greek and Babylonian artifacts and even whole gates have been reconstructed inside the museum. The next day it rained and that seemed like a good time to visit  another museum. Berlin has about 175 museums, but it is best known for displaying the bust of <a title="Nefertiti" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nefertiti" target="_blank">Nefertiti</a>. According to our edition of <a title="Barcelona Encounter" href="http://www.amazon.com/Barcelona-Encounter-Best-Damien-Simonis/dp/1741791618/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Barcelona  Encounter</a> (2007) it had been moved from the Egyptian museum in Charlottenburg to the Altes Museum on the Museum Insel (museum island). So we stood in line for that museum and only learned at the front of the line that the Egyptian collection had been moved to the Neues Museum&#8230; The good news is that you can buy tickets to the Neues Museum at the Altes Museum (and you can buy tickets that give you access to all the museums on the Museum Insel), the not so good news is that the Neues Museum is very popular and if you&#8217;re lucky you can get a timeslot ticket at the end of the afternoon. Be sure to inform yourself of what is displayed in what museum. After that you can find out which museum has the shortest queue waiting outside and there buy the tickets for the museum you would like to visit (I think this works for all the museums on the Museum Insel).</li>
<li>If you&#8217;re vegan like us, you can always visit one of the many Italian restaurants. Places like the <a title="12 Apostel" href="http://www.12-apostel.de/restaurant.php?idr=2" target="_blank">12 Apostel</a> (close to Museum Insel) can make a delicious pizza without cheese (Pizza Tommaso ohne Mozzarella und Pepperoni &#8211; wir sind Veganer). Furthermore, there are plenty of Asian restaurants &#8211; it should not be hard to find vegan food at a Thai or Vietnamese restaurant.</li>
<li>Visit the Haus am Checkpoint Charlie Museum for a quick history lesson on Berlin and the wall, and some stories of herioc and really creative attempts to cross from East to West Berlin.</li>
<li>Buchhandlung Hugendubel has a corner in the mega department store <a title="KaDeWe" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KaDeWe" target="_blank">KaDeWe</a> (Europe&#8217;s second largest department store, right after Harrods), but that can&#8217;t compete with several floors of books and the opportunity to have some cake and a cup of tea at the <a title="Buchhandlung Hugendubel" href="http://www.hugendubel.de/buchhandlungen/berlin_tauentzien/buchhandlung_berlin_tauentzien/Default.aspx" target="_blank">Buchhandlung  Hugendubel</a> on the Tauentzienstrasse (near Kurfürstendamm). Here I bought my first <a title="Moleskine on Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moleskine" target="_blank">Moleskine</a> notebook. According to their own information these notebooks were also used by Vincent van Gogh, Oscar Wilde and Ernest Hemingway. There are many notebooks to chose from &#8211; plain, sketchbook, ruled, squared. They even have journals to keep track of the <a title="Moleskine Film Journal" href="http://www.amazon.com/Moleskine-Passions-Film-Journal/dp/8862933177/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">movies</a> you saw or the <a title="Moleskine Book Journal" href="http://www.amazon.com/Moleskine-Passions-Book-Journal/dp/8862933193/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">books</a> you read. In the end I went for the <a title="Moleskine Squared Reporter Pocket" href="http://www.amazon.com/Moleskine-Square-Reporter-Pocket/dp/8883705491/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Moleskine Squared Reporter Pocket</a>. I also bought a short pen, so that I can take my notebook and pen everywhere I go. Most of the text from this blog post was based on notes I took in this journal.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Books</strong></p>
<p>On the long train ride to and from Berlin I had plenty of time to read. The book I intended to read was <a title="Swan Song" href="http://www.amazon.com/Swan-Song-Robert-McCammon/dp/1439156735/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Swan Song</a> by Robert McCammon. I read about 150 pages (of the 950) and just couldn&#8217;t get into it. The book is bit like <a title="The Stand" href="http://www.amazon.com/Stand-Expanded-First-Complete-Signet/dp/0451169530/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">The Stand</a> by Stephen King, which I loved. But this book just didn&#8217;t do it for me. It was not a bad read, but I found out that I wasn&#8217;t looking forward to reading the next page or the next chapter. Maybe I had enough of post-apocalyptic drama after reading The Road and this wasn&#8217;t the time to read this book. Nevertheless, reading should be fun and/or entertaining so I have decided to switch to another book &#8211; <a title="The Last Coyote" href="http://www.amazon.com/Last-Coyote-Harry-Bosch/dp/0446619078/" target="_blank">The Last Coyote</a> by Michael Connelly. I have read three of his books so far, all featuring detective Harry Bosch &#8211; and all fun and entertaining to read.</p>
<p>Another book I have read, and not finished yet, is <a title="What the Dog Saw" href="http://www.amazon.com/What-Dog-Saw-Other-Adventures/dp/0316075841/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">What the Dog Saw</a> by Malcolm Gladwell. Last week I told you about Freakonomics and my interest for these kind of books. This a book that I will finish. It has you saying &#8220;Wow!&#8221; at about every page. Gladwell has the ability to make the most common and uninteresting topics really exciting. I didn&#8217;t know that I could read that reading about hair color or birth control could be that much fun. The title of the book is influenced by Cesar Millan, the host of National Geographic&#8217;s <a title="The Dog Whisperer" href="http://www.amazon.com/Dog-Whisperer-Cesar-Millan-Complete/dp/B000EGDALQ/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">The Dog Whisperer</a>. I&#8217;ve seen a few episodes of that series. It&#8217;s a real pleasure to watch Cesar work his magic with not only the dogs, but also the owners. Gladwell describes how he interacts with dogs and draws parallels to dancing and interacting with humans. Great book so far.</p>
<p><strong>CDs</strong></p>
<p>And one last note. In the Berlin Underground I saw an ad for the new Pain of Salvation CD, <a title="Road Salt One" href="http://www.amazon.com/Road-Salt-One-Pain-Salvation/dp/B003DZ6BYI/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Road Salt One</a>. It was the album of the week. I was really surprised to see this band on display like that. Not that I don&#8217;t think they deserve it. I&#8217;m a big Pain of Salvation fan and have been to the concert that has been filmed for the DVD <a title="Ending Themes" href="http://www.amazon.com/Two-Deaths-Pain-Salvation-2DVD/dp/B001HY3BH2/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Ending Themes: On the Two Deaths of Pain of Salvation</a> (Paradiso, Amsterdam 2007). I just thought that not that many people were into this kind of music, but that seems to be changing. Give this band a listen if you like progressive rock with hints of metal, folk, and Arabian and Oriental influences. I like all their CDs, but my favorites remain <a title="The Perfect Element" href="http://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Element-I-Pain-Salvation/dp/B00005085N/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">The Perfect Element</a> and <a title="Remedy Lane" href="http://www.amazon.com/Remedy-Lane-Pain-Salvation/dp/B000063CMK/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Remedy Lane</a>.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the official video for Linoleum, from <a title="Road Salt One" href="http://www.amazon.com/Road-Salt-One-Pain-Salvation/dp/B003DZ6BYI/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Road Salt One</a>.<br />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="640" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sGbgITz_KVY&amp;hl=nl_NL&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sGbgITz_KVY&amp;hl=nl_NL&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s it for another, not so quick, update. Maybe I should change the name of this weekly rundown&#8230; Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Take care,</p>
<p>Gerber</p>

These updates will probably be a bit more personal than my personal development posts. Here&#8217;s a quick update for week 18 of 2010 (05/03 &#8211; 05/09).</p>
<p><strong>Tragic News</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start with the tragic news this week. I visited my grandmother last night in the hospital. She was diagnosed with acute leukemia last summer and it&#8217;s a wonder she has held on for so long. But now it seems that it is coming to an end. She was getting new blood every 4 weeks, because there is too little oxygen in her own blood. Then it became every 2 weeks. Last week she got a new supply of blood, but only a few days later she was extremely tired again. They took her into the hospital and there it became clear that new blood will not help her anymore. Now we will just have to see how long she can go on without new blood. When I visited her last night, she was quite cheerful and talkative. This might have been the last time I have seen her. That makes me really sad. My grandmother is someone I almost take for granted. She has been a part of my life as long as I can remember and although I didn&#8217;t see her all that often, I knew she was there. But I&#8217;m glad I have seen her last night, while she is still the grandmother I know and love.</p>
<p><strong>DVDs</strong></p>
<p>Now for some other updates. I received a couple of new DVDs in the mail this week. Finally the Raw Food DVDs arrived. I&#8217;ve told you about <a title="Raw for 30 Days" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/rawfor30days" target="_blank">Simply Raw</a> before (<a title="Simply Raw" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/2010/04/simply-raw-reversing-diabetes-in-30-days/" target="_blank">click here for the blog post</a>). Haven&#8217;t watched them yet, but will do so soon.</p>
<p>Another DVD that came in this week is <a title="Leap!" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/leapmovie" target="_blank">Leap! The Movie</a>. I heard about this one from Joe Vitale, who is in this movie/documentary. It&#8217;s in the same vein as The Secret and What the Bleep! and features experts and authors like Dan Millman, Joe Vitale and Gary Renard. The idea is that reality is just an illusion and if you can look beyond the illusion, you can make I giant leap forwards. I have watched the first hour or so and it&#8217;s full of great insights and inspiring quotes. I will write a separate blog post about my experience with this movie in a few weeks time. In the meantime you can watch the trailer below or, if you can&#8217;t wait for my full review, <a title="Leap!" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/leapmovie" target="_blank">order the DVD here</a>.<br />

<p><strong>Books</strong></p>
<p>My favorite books have already been listed in the following blogs posts: <a title="Personal Development Books" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/2009/06/favorite-personal-development-books/" target="_blank">my favorite personal development books</a> and <a title="Favorite Books (Fiction)" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/2010/02/my-favorite-books-fiction/" target="_blank">fiction</a>. But I still keep on reading new books of course. In these weekly updates I want to share with you the books I&#8217;m reading (fiction and personal development). Here are the books I&#8217;ve been reading this week:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="The Road" href="http://www.amazon.com/Road-Movie-Tie-Vintage-International/dp/0307476316/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">The Road</a> by Cormac McCarthy &#8211; this post-apocalyptic novel by the author of No Country for Old Men is probably the most depressing book I&#8217;ve read, ever. But it was a great read nonetheless. The book has now been turned into a movie, starring Viggo Mortensen (<a title="The Road on IMDb" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0898367/" target="_blank">IMDb</a>). I will probably watch it a few months or years from now. In my experience the movie doesn&#8217;t get better if you watch it just after you&#8217;ve read the book. The book is too fresh in your memory and you are only spotting differences between the book and the movie script.</li>
<li><a title="Long Lost" href="http://www.amazon.com/Long-Lost-Harlan-Coben/dp/0525951059/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Long Lost</a> by Harlan Coben &#8211; this was yet again a book by Coben that I could not put away. A real pageturner with the familiar characters Myron Bolitar and Win.</li>
<li><a title="Freakonomics" href="http://www.amazon.com/Freakonomics-Economist-Explores-Hidden-Everything/dp/0060731338/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Freakonomics</a> by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner  - somewhat similar to the books by Malcolm Gladwell, so full of interesting facts and constantly questioning conventional wisdom. Always fun to read. I&#8217;m looking for similar books and will probably write a blog post with a list of these books.</li>
<li><a title="Healthy at 100" href="http://www.amazon.com/Healthy-100-Scientifically-Healthiest-Longest-Lived/dp/0345490118/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Healthy at 100</a> by John Robbins &#8211; haven&#8217;t finished this book yet, but the first chapters look really promising. This book by the author of The Food Revolution is not only about reaching the age of 100, but also being healthy when you reach that age.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Berlin</strong></p>
<p>In the introduction of this blog post I already mentioned that I will not have much time to blog the following weeks. One of the reasons is that on Thursday (Ascension Day) we will be taking the train to Berlin for a short 4-day vacation. I have never been to Berlin before, but several friends have told me how great this city is. Laura had already looked for vegan restaurants in Berlin and found a YouTube video from PETA.<br />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="640" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KOXKFKNPkso&amp;hl=nl_NL&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KOXKFKNPkso&amp;hl=nl_NL&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>This ends the, maybe not so quick, update for this week. You will hear from me again in about a week. If you want to keep up to date, you can follow me on <a title="Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/GerberDeLange" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.</p>
<p>Take care,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last year I made a list of my <a title="Favorite Personal Development Books" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/2009/06/favorite-personal-development-books/" target="_blank">favorite personal development books</a>.

This list is by no means complete as I am a very avid reader, but this list should give you some good tips of you if want to try out a new writer or a new book.</p>
<p>I have tried to categorize the books, but some books are not that easily labeled. If you would like to read more about the books, just follow the links to Amazon.com.</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" href="http://www.amazon.com/Hitchhikers-Guide-Galaxy-25th-Anniversary/dp/1400052920/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Douglas Adams &#8211; The Hitchhiker&#8217;s Guide to the Galaxy</a> [science fiction / comedy]- Great fun, even when you are not into Science Fiction.</li>

<li><a title="The Book of Jhereg" href="http://www.amazon.com/Book-Jhereg-Steven-Brust/dp/0441006159/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Steven Brust &#8211; The Book of Jhereg</a> [fantasy] &#8211; My introduction to the world of Vlad Taltos. This collection includes the first three published books.Another great book by Steven Brust is <a title="To Reign in Hell" href="http://www.amazon.com/Reign-Hell-Novel-Steven-Brust/dp/0312870493/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">To Reign in Hell</a>, about the struggle between God and Satan prior to the creation of Earth.</li>

<li><a title="White Apples" href="http://www.amazon.com/White-Apples-Jonathan-Carroll/dp/0765304015/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Jonathan Carroll &#8211; White Apples</a> [fantasy] &#8211; One of my favorite writers, so it is hard to pick one book. All of his books are well worth reading. This is not fantasy as in dragons, medieval settings, et cetera. Most of his books are about ordinary characters experiencing weird things. Highly recommended!</li>
<li><a title="Gone For Good" href="http://www.amazon.com/Gone-Good-Harlan-Coben/dp/0440236738/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Harlan Coben &#8211; Gone For Good</a> [thriller] &#8211; A twist at the end of every chapter, this is the ultimate page turner. Harlan Coben&#8217;s series about Myron Bolitar are also great to read &#8211; good stories with great humor. Start with the first book in the series &#8211; <a title="Deal Breaker" href="http://www.amazon.com/Breaker-Myron-Bolitar-Harlan-Coben/dp/0440220440/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Deal Breaker</a>.</li>

This book changed my mind. <a title="The Black Echo" href="http://www.amazon.com/Black-Echo-Harry-Bosch/dp/0446612731/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">The Black Echo</a> is the first book in the Harry Bosch series.</li>
<li><a title="Every Dead Thing" href="http://www.amazon.com/Every-Dead-Thing-John-Connolly/dp/067102731X/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">John Connolly &#8211; Every Dead Thing</a> [thriller] &#8211; His books about Charlie &#8220;Bird&#8221; Parker are not always easy to read, but are most rewarding. The mood is dark and that is how I like it.</li>
<li><a title="The Muse Asylum" href="http://www.amazon.com/Muse-Asylum-David-Czuchlewski/dp/0142000604/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">David Czuchlewski &#8211; The Muse Asylum</a> [literature] &#8211; Like Jonathan Carroll this author can change your view on how you look at the world.</li>
<li><a title="Foucault's Pendulum" href="http://www.amazon.com/Foucaults-Pendulum-Umberto-Eco/dp/015603297X/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Umberto Eco &#8211; Foucault&#8217;s Pendulum</a> [literature] &#8211; One of my favorite books. This book references about anything esoteric, gnostic and occult you can think of.</li>

Feist &#8211; Magician</a> [fantasy] &#8211; Classic fantasy. This book is sometimes published as two parts: <a title="Magician: Apprentice" href="http://www.amazon.com/Magician-Apprentice-Riftwar-Saga-1/dp/0553267604/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Magician: Apprentice</a> and <a title="Magician: Master" href="http://www.amazon.com/Magician-Master-Riftwar-Saga-Book/dp/0553564935/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Magician: Master</a>.</li>

The TV series <a title="Legend of the Seeker" href="http://www.amazon.com/Legend-Seeker-Complete-First-Season/dp/B002GY9F9K/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Legend of the Seeker</a> is loosely based upon this series.</li>

This was by far my favorite book.</li>
<li><a title="The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" href="http://www.amazon.com/Curious-Incident-Dog-Night-Time/dp/1400032717/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Mark Haddon &#8211; The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time</a> [literature] &#8211; The world seen through eyes of an autistic child.

This is one of the books I always recommend when people ask me for fantasy book tips.</li>

From then on I read most of the other books in this series. If you don&#8217;t mind some controversial reading, try out <a title="Memnoch the Devil" href="http://www.amazon.com/Memnoch-Devil-Anne-Rice/dp/0679438327/?tag=everydayimpro-20" target="_blank">Memnoch the Devil</a> where the vampire Lestat meets Jesus and the Devil.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week I have got some amazing value for everyone who has been trying to make some extra money and has not seen the success they would like.</p>
<p><strong>5 Bucks a Day</strong></p>
<p>A few weeks ago I read an amazing book by Dennis Becker called <a title="5 Bucks a Day, Jr." href="http://everydayimprovement.com/5bucksaday" target="_blank">5 Bucks a Day</a>. In this book he describes how he has gone from trying about every way to make money online and not having much success, to the success he experiences now. This book is primarily about the issue of focus, something I think everyone can relate to.</p>
<p>What he basically tells you to do is to make a list of future projects to work on. After you make that list, you pick one project and work on that until it is finished. Each project should bring in about $5 per day for the foreseeable future. Now, $5 a day doesn&#8217;t seem like much. But what if you could finish 50 of those projects in a year. Then you would make about $250 a day, which equals about $7,500 a month. That more than most people earn in a month.</p>
<p><strong>Earn 1K a Day</strong></p>
<p>When I was searching for ideas to put on my project list, I came across another site by Dennis Becker called <a title="Earn 1K a Day" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/earn1kaday" target="_blank">Earn 1K a Day</a>. This is a membership site that builds on the information mentioned in <a title="5 Bucks a Day, Jr." href="http://everydayimprovement.com/5bucksaday" target="_blank">5 Bucks a Day</a> and tries to get every member to earning $1,000 a day. There is a forum that discusses several business models to achieve this number, like setting up Mini Sites, Membership Sites, Article Marketing, Domain and Website Flipping, et cetera. Dennis also buys lots of products with PLR and Resell Rights for the members, so that they can enjoy the products and even sell them for themselves. The price is $39.95 per month, but is easily worth that for all the information you get, not to mention the great support you get from other members.</p>
<p><strong>Webinar</strong></p>
<p>A little while ago Dennis Becker did a webinar on 5 Bucks a Day and Earn 1K a Day. You can watch and listen to the <a title="Earn 1K a Day Webinar" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/earn1kadaywebinar/" target="_blank">webinar for free here</a>. It contains more than 100 minutes of information that can help you right away.</p>
<p><strong>Like to Know More</strong></p>
<p>If you like to know more about 5 Bucks a Day or Earn 1K a Day you can do one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Subscribe to our newsletter (in the menu on the right). You will get access to a teaser version of 5 Bucks a Day. This still contains more than 30 pages of valuable information.</li>
<li>Get the <a title="5 Bucks a Day, Jr." href="http://everydayimprovement.com/5bucksaday" target="_blank">5 Bucks a Day, Jr.</a> book for just $7.77. Dennis has allowed me to sell the book myself so that I can give you a great price. If you are serious about making more money, then this in my opinion is the best money you will ever spend. The Jr. version does not give you access to the 5 Bucks a Day forum, but you probably would want to join <a title="Earn 1K a Day" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/earn1kaday" target="_blank">Earn 1K a Day</a> eventually. The original 5 Bucks a Day forum is not that active, because most people have moved on to <a title="Earn 1K a Day" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/earn1kaday" target="_blank">Earn 1K a Day</a>.</li>
<li>Watch and listen to the <a title="Earn 1K a Day Webinar" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/earn1kadaywebinar/" target="_blank">webinar</a> to know more of the story behind 5 Bucks a Day and Earn 1K a Day. This webinar alone can give you great information to get you going in the right direction.</li>
<li>Join <a title="Earn 1K a Day" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/earn1kaday" target="_blank">Earn 1K a Day</a> for $39,95 per month. If you are really serious about making more money, then you have to be part of this community. You can just about cancel any other membership sites you might be subscribed to. This site is so full of information, you probably will not have to buy another internet marketing ebook or course again. If you join <a title="Earn 1K a Day" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/earn1kaday" target="_blank">Earn 1K a Day</a> you will get 5 Bucks a Day for free with your membership.</li>
</ul>
<p>Have fun and let me know your success stories!</p>
<p>Gerber</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are anything like me, you probably have bought a lot of products from all kinds of internet marketing gurus promising you easy money with little to no work. Most of this is sales hype and if those products contain good advice it is not always easy to follow through. Because just when you begin to start implementing that advice, some new product will come along and you give that product your full attention.</p>
<p><strong>Unsubscribe</strong><br />
The first thing you want to do is to unsubscribe from all internet marketing newsletters. Those will only make you lose your focus. You probably know enough already to succeed online. And if that is not the case, read further below.</p>
<p><strong>Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate</strong><br />
I have studied internet marketing for a couple of years now and there is a lot of hype in this business. It can be hard to find a product that gives great advice, is enjoyable to read and inspires you to take action and follow through. A few weeks ago I read <a title="Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/confessionslazysuperaffiliate" target="_blank">Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate</a> by Chris Rempel. I was so impressed with this book that I also bought all of his other books. My absolute favorite is about something called the <a title="Conduit Method" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/conduitmethod" target="_blank">Conduit Method</a>. I read about this method on the Warrior Forum (an internet marketing forum) and this thread is one of the most popular threads ever. His books are simple but very effective. No hype, just simple techniques that you can repeat over and over again. Internet marketing does not have to be hard, but it takes time. Most of the work consists of finding out what already works and doing that same thing over and over again. A lot of people think that it can&#8217;t be that simple, so they complicate things and eventually lose interest when the results do not come right away.</p>
<p><strong>Start Now</strong><br />
If you want to be successful with affiliate marketing, I suggest you invest a small amount of your money by buying the following books:<br />
- <a title="Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate" href="../confessionslazysuperaffiliate" target="_blank">Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate</a> &#8211; This book will give you the foundation to finally be successful with affiliate marketing.<br />
- <a title="The Conduit Method" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/conduitmethod" target="_blank">VIP Confessions #1 &#8211; The &#8216;Conduit&#8217; Method</a> &#8211; My favorite method for making money with affiliate marketing.<br />
- <a title="The Reverse Selection Blueprint" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/reverseselection" target="_blank">VIP Confessions #2 &#8211; The &#8216;Reverse Selection&#8217; Blueprint</a> &#8211; Do not try to be inventive when you are just starting out. Find out what already works online and then do the same. If you combine the advice given in this book with the first two books you are miles ahead of the competition.<br />
- <a title="VIP Essentials #1" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/vipessentials" target="_blank">VIP Essentials #1 &#8211; Site Layouts That SELL</a> &#8211; With this package you have no more excuses to start. Now you have everything available to start in affiliate marketing and achieving success.</p>
<p>Work on the advice given in those books and work on nothing else for the following months. Follow through and don&#8217;t get sidetracked by the next big internet marketing product launch. That will only make you lose focus and not follow through.</p>
<p><strong>Mindset</strong><br />
Because achieving success is also about mindset, I suggest you also (re)read my article about <a title="Making Money Online and EFT" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/2009/06/making-money-online-and-eft/" target="_blank">Making Money Online and EFT</a>. This article discusses some of the blocks you may encounter on your way to success and how you can eliminate those blocks.</p>
<p>And before you start you might want the watch the Tony Robbins video again as he inspires you to <a title="How to Take Massive Action and Follow Through" href="http://everydayimprovement.com/blog/2009/08/how-to-take-massive-action-and-follow-through/" target="_blank">take massive action and follow through</a>.</p>
<p>The combination of good advice on affiliate marketing and the right mindset is the perfect formula for online success.</p>
<p>To your success,<br />
Gerber</p>
