AUDIOBOOKS
Audible: I love Audiobooks and listen to them every day. You get an entirely different learning experience than physical books. If you spend a lot of time in the car or go for walks, it's a great way to learn valuable tools which you can apply to your life.
Stop. Start. Do. fans get a free 30 day subscription to Audible and 2 books for FREE. That's an incredible deal. I'm not sure how much longer this deal will be active, so take advantage today.

Amazon Prime Membership: I get most of my books from Amazon for $ 0.01. Using Amazon Prime keeps things so much easier and saves me hours each month. You get FREE shipping on Prime items and unlimited Amazon Prime movies.

Biofeedback for Peak PErformance
Emwave2: I've been using this device for 3 years. Each year I'm amazed at how much it has transformed my life. I used to suffer from some crippling anxiety, where my nervous system would go into fight-or-flight and I could no longer be a top performer. This never happens now.
Each morning I use the EmWave2 biofeedback device during my meditation sessions. It lets me know when I'm "In The Zone" and when I'm letting my mind wander. Using this technology puts your brain into a state of relaxed awareness known as an ALPHA STATE. It teaches you how to control your nervous system for peak performance. It's even improved my sleep quality by 17% (when used before bed) and increased my reading speed by 82 WPM (350-432 WPM). Get it on Amazon.
Meditation Technology
iAwake: I once told a Zen philosopher I was using audio technology to enhance my meditation practice. He said that was cheating.
For 3 years, I've tried all the meditation technologies and iAwake is my favorite. They have a fantastic product, a great price point (much better than the competition) and an extremely friendly customer service team.
If you are serious about your meditation practice, try the full Pure Meditation Program 3.0.
Brain entrainment newbies will see great results and be content with The Pure Meditation Starter Kit.
For the skeptics, please try a complimentary 20-minute meditation track. If you like it, you can upgrade.
GRATITUDE
5 Minute Journal: Using a gratitude journal is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to be happier each day. I've been using one for more than 2 years and my favorite is made by The Five Minute Journal. I promise if you start using this you'll experience greater levels of happiness in your life.
Remember... you don't attract what you want, you attract what you are.

Building Your own Website And Don't Know Where TO Start?
Lots of people ask me where to begin. It's a good question, because when you're starting out, you basically have an unlimited number of paths to take. You probably spend a lot of time going back and forth between options, unsure of what to work on next. This is completely normal.
Here's what I would suggest:
- Buy a real domain from Bluehost. Choose either your name or something that has flexibility. Having a real domain will give you some credibility going forward and you can use it as leverage to meet cool people.
- Have Bluehost host the site for you.
- Get the blogging platform Wordpress for your site.
- Just start writing and creating content. Force yourself to post something every week. This will give you the best education possible, because you'll discover what really drives you.
- Write about everything that inspires you. Stay open.
- Continue to force yourself to create. Keep working at it even when you don't want to.
- Change and evolve your branding, site and writing as needed. There's nothing set in stone.
- Just keep working at it and stay consistent. Most people quit after 2 months. I don't know anyone who's built a real audience from scratch in less than 1 year.
- Learn to love the process and continue to connect with cool people. I've met some of my best friends doing this.
