1. Ramblings

“What doesn’t get measured doesn’t get done!”

This is a famous saying among controllers all over the world. It has the same truth in business as it has in your personal life.

An extremely important part of your diet and fitness program is being able to measure your progress.

Take your body measures like weight and inches every month and write them down.

Write down and measure the time you can do a certain exercise, the length you can jump, etc.

Compare regularly. Set yourself goals and reach them.

In my new fitness studio (it’s a medically supervised fitness studio for people with back problems) you are required to write done every time the weight you are working with and the number of repetitions.

After a certain amount of repetitions you can train with a higher weight.

Apart from being measured this has a nice side effect: your ambition will make you try harder in order to achieve a new level. It would be just too depressing to see yourself using the same weight for weeks in a row…

Start measuring! What gets measured gets done!

By the way, if you’re still looking for a Christmas gift for yourself or some beloved one, check out the article about learning how to write for better communication.
This is the most useful book I’ve read in the last year! And for native English speakers it must be a hundred times more useful.

2. Five Stay Slim Secrets for Christmas Time

1. Eat fruits or drink a glass of water before going to a party. This will make you feel less hungry and you won’t “jump” onto the chocolate cookies.

2. Try the delicious anti-alcoholic drinks. Apart from being better for your health, they usually have a lot less calories. Off course the ones without sugar.

3. Increase your muscle mass. The more lean muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn even at rest. Muscle is extremely active metabolically.

4. Eat more high fiber foods. Most of us do not get enough fiber in our daily diets, and that’s just a shame. Fiber not only promotes overall general health, but also can significantly aid in your fat-burning efforts by leaving you feeling satisfied. Vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts/seeds and whole grains are ideal sources of fiber.

5. Drink Water... and lots of it. For the cold season you can also drink herbal teas or the new Roibush tea from South Africa that comes in all different flavors. Try some typical Christmas flavors

4. Learn How To Better Communicate

MYCPS!... The ONLY Book Of Its Kind

"Make Your Content PREsell!" ("MYCPS!") is the ONLY book of its kind. There are, of course, hundreds of books that teach you how to write, the classic being."The Elements of Style" by William Strunk Jr

Only two problems with these "general writing" books...

1) They are so dry as to be almost unreadable. Medical textbooks are easier to read! ;-)

2) They have almost nothing to do with the REAL world.

Yes indeed... thousands of books about all kinds of writing.

But MYCPS! is the ONLY book of its kind. It shows you, step by step, clearly...

1) how to write to COMMUNICATE

2) how to develop your own "voice" with flair and substance

3) how to spin your site/biz/SELF into a unique position

4) how to HONESTLY convince people to trust and like you.

No other book in the world shows you how to do this. So...

Why is THAT so important? Glad you asked... ;-)

Without The Right Skills, You're Doomed

The Web is a communication medium. Let's be more precise...

The Web is a TEXT communication medium.

For the next 10 years (at least), text will remain THE way to communicate. During that time, you will make or break your business success, your very life possibly.

Somewhere along the way, we have become obsessed with everything except how to write that TEXT. I can't overemphasize its supreme importance. ANYONE who communicates on the Net, even if it's only via e-mail, NEEDS this book. (It is "#1 must reading" for our support staff.)

In truth, it's not ONLY for online marketers...

EVERONE needs this book. EVERYONE.

If you don't insist that your children READ this book, you're doing them a disservice.

As I said above, MYCPS! shows you, step by step, clearly...

1) how to write to COMMUNICATE

2) how to develop your own "voice" with flair and substance

3) how to spin your site/biz/self into a unique position

4) how to honestly convince people to trust and like you.

No other book in the world shows you how to do this. We live in a world where communication is the #1 skill set of value. Without that skill, you're doomed.

THAT is why this book is so important. And THAT is why I call this book...

"One Heck Of A Paddle"

That state of writing in the English world is absolutely abysmal. And there is no reason for it. If anything is holding small business back on the Internet, it's writing.

Most small businesses can't afford to hire a writer.

And most small business people can't write. So where does that leave them on the Web, where the written word is king?

It leaves them up a certain creek, without a paddle.

Well, MYCPS! is one heck of a paddle.

-----

When we think of "writing," we think of Hemingway. But...Hemingway had a gift.

Writing to communicate is not a gift.

Writing to communicate does not REQUIRE a gift.

Writing to communicate is a skill you can ACQUIRE.

MYCPS! helps you acquire that skill.

It helps EVERYONE acquire that skill.

And I do mean EVERYONE.

-----

Which brings me to where this book belongs...

In EVERYONE'S hands. That's why...

The Price Is Only US$9.95

You NEED this book because..

It will make YOU more effective, every way, every day.

Every communication that you write will be better. Not just Web pages. More than your e-zines. And beyond every personal e-mail. Everything you EVER write will simply be more effective.

Even if you are a writing wizard, you will certainly pick up at least one good idea, tip, or technique worth $10! Far more likely, you'll feel that the entire book was the best buy that you have ever made.

This book is absolutely perfect for someone starting out online. Read this, and you'll avoid all the mistakes so many of the rest of us have struggled through over the years.

But this book is also for everyone else who writes or edits content online. It doesn't matter how sophisticated you are, or how huge and successful your site may be... the way in which Ken presents and expresses the information does a wonderful job of reminding us what really matters, and what doesn't.
