It has been one month since I joined the Guru Master Mind and it has been INCREDIBLE! I thought as a relative newcomer, I might be at a disadvantage, but now I am so grateful I followed my gut instinct and signed up. Eben is preparing me for my own greatest potential from my health, inner well being, mental strength, behind the scenes know how, nuts and bolts instructions, time management -- I don't think the man has left anything out. AND after one seminar in LA I have been busy for days just following up on all the leads I got and contacts I made that will continue to bring value for years to come. My biggest challenge is to get myself to a place where I can give back even a fraction to Eben and all the good people he has brought into my life!

Dear Eben: I see that your library looks a lot like mine. I have been working on Masterminds for much of thirty years,, and did not know of that name. My goals, of course are slightly different from yours. I have authored many thousands of pages of notes, but am expert at condensing, and simplification, so that four thousand pages, soon become a few hundred. My gift, for you will be determined, by yourself, at some time in the future. It shall be a free, mind blowing explanation of what you desperately want to know, because I shall rapidly adjust my technology to serve your needs. You helped me, so much with a free course. I shall help you. Helping people is, well, you know, vital to happiness. Hope to continue, and complete this conversation in a few years. Mikey

Hi Eben, Thanks for the tour! I really enjoyed your video and Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Gee, you look and sound a lot like David DeAngelo; ) Thirty years ago I took out a scientific methodology book with the belief I could find something I call "the buying motivator." The psychology did not exist then for me to isolate it. Well, about 2 months ago I think I found it thanks to Geofrey Miller and that guy David. Now I see that you have, as well, isolated it, well, pretty close anyway. You haven't quite hit the nail on the head, but pretty close. I'm very pleased to see your success and looking forward to mine.

Like to say thanks for to great info.I'm building so sites now and I'm seeing more now.Sometimes you can see and at the same time not.So thanks for opening my eyes.Great job you do. Thank you

Hi Eben, Thank you for your tour. I've been able to do the first task but am not fluent in internet marketing and need guidance. I have a new book and no marketing savvy. Help!

thank you eben

Talk about an Aha moment! I've been studying a lot about personal development for the past 20 years and I finally feel like I have a way to implement the very things I've learned. I know it's too late for the scholarship but, it doesn't matter. I feel motivated to act with purpose. Which is exactly what you've set out to do. I'm discovering ways that I can mix my music career and love for self-improvement into one fantastic life. I look forward to this journey, Eban. Thank you.

Posted by: The Rip | 04:32 PM

Thank you so much! I am now finally ready to write out my phase 1 and 2 action steps... phase 3 is a little much for me right now. But I get it now:) ACTION Steps... Again, Thanks. Peggy

Posted by: Peggy | 06:36 PM

Hey Eben. Thanks for the infomation, it was revolutionary to me. I have some ideas which I want to put into a presentational video and apply for the scholarship. What is the end date?

Posted by: Ben Gibson | 10:11 AM

What I find sooooooo enlightening is the evolution. 'We' are CREATING what you are teaching. It is content in its actual evolution and we are part of it as this process happens. You gain our trust and hopefully new prospects, and we gain all this knowledge of how to do what you to TO US while learning how to do IT to others. Hopefully we take action. Ethically I might add. Your physical demeaner ooozes calm, warm, self-reliant Master that you truly are. For once the title is actually earned. Fantastic experience. <--- :-) Victor

Posted by: Victor Alderman | 05:23 AM

Namaste Eben, Long story short, you've made a great video to re-mind people not to lose sight of where they're heading...the Big picture! I'm in the seduction niche and having a blast! It is, after all, a subject many need assistance in. Thank you for sharing your personal life with us.

Posted by: George Feelgood | 11:40 AM

WOW !! Let me say that backwards WOW !! Thanks so much for working your business exactly like you said building a relationship. You got me now in a relationship with your business. I have been receiving your newsletter Double your Dating for at least a year and never have experienced what I just did with this video. Funny the thought crossed my mind a few months back how your dating techniques also work with building a business relationship. I'm sold sign me up.

Really excellent video Eben, packed with valuable info. Thanks. www.MarketingProInfo.com

Great video, this content is fantastic I have learnt so much. www.mongrelstyle.com

Posted by: Mongrel | 08:47 PM

Excellent videos! I thought they are that good that I've made a post on my blog about it. I have yet to viewed all of the videos(I saw the first three already thou), I love the information that you are freely giving out. Very cool. And I think you didn't post the videos on YouTube was so that you can retain the rights to them; whereas if you'd released them to YouTube, you would have given up your ownership.

Posted by: jeff | 07:18 PM

Hi,eban thanks for tking time to read my comment as there may e a glitch. Thanks for heping me solve your software,I don't have a credit card cos my max-out Any wayin helping me solve my problems

Posted by: Jerry Lim | 04:33 PM

Eben: The video with an interview by Frank was really awesome! Your concept of creating something worth a lot and giving it away for free goes against everything we have ever heard. You are evidence it works! Congrats to the ones who won the scholarships. I came on this site to finish watching the rest of the videos, but something else was up there. I wanted my daughter to see them as she is beginning an on-line business. Watching these should be the first thing she she should do. I'm working on my first e-book and several websites. Talk later, Meredith

Posted by: Meredith | 02:36 PM

Hi Everyone! Andrew Anderson here and I am a current student in the first class of the Guru MasterMind. Just so you know, this is an unsolicited comment, I have not been contacted by anyone from GMM nor was I asked to post this. They may not even allow this post, but I truly feel that I would be doing everyone that is thinking about signing up for GMM a disservice if I did not at least try. I am posting this because of how truly GREAT and VALUABLE GMM is, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that GMM is worth 10 times what they are charging for it. It has blown away every expectation I had about it by a mile. I have spent 10's of thousands of dollars on other trainings, and this is by far the best educational experience I have ever had including college. One of the many great things about GMM is that you can go through a lesson and then use it to make money the very next day! I have literally been able to increase my daily work productivity and efficiency by over 100%. Think about it. How much more money can you make if you can get twice as much done in a day as you are doing now? My answer is quite a bit indeed. If you are serious about changing your life for the better and making a lot more money, do what ever you have to go get into this course. It truly is that good! Do yourself a favor and sign up. You will not regret it and it could very well be one of the best decisions you ever make. The videos that you see here are just the tip of the iceberg. When you get in, you are going to be blown away at what Eben and crew have put together. Hope to see you in class! Cheers, Andrew Anderson GMM Student

Hi Eben, Enjoyed your call with Frank this evening. It was great to hear your story! My friend and mentor in business Dr Noah McKay shared with me this weekend that one good way you begin to change your circle of influence is to call all the people in your life who do not provide a positive up lifting energy to you and tell them, lovingly of course, that you are going on vacation and will not be available for a year or so. Tell them that you love them and wish them well and say good bye. I am going through my list to do that now. Thanks for all the great value you give to me. I really appreciate you. Blessings, Cedar Kelly

Posted by: Cedar Kelly | 09:49 PM

Thank you for all this information. I would love to learn more. Sandy

Posted by: SandySwortzel | 07:10 PM

I grew a flourishing business in two years, and your videos are helping me remember how I did that. My first action step is to figure out what I know that others might like to know. I know how to harmonize. Comes natural--but I think I can teach others. 2nd step--I've done a search, and found that others are doing this--which means there is a market. Next, I need to start writing and recording--teach a couple of people, and find out what it takes to help them develop an "ear". I think this could work! If you're still deciding, I'd like to be considered for one of the scholarships!

Posted by: Laurie Owen | 02:39 PM

I want to thank you for this valuable information. I listened to your call on Tues. with Mike and then watched the first video. My start in this phase of my business will be a little like yours at to the amount of knowledge I have on the internet. I'm building 3 simple websites myself. One leads to my Network Marketing Team and how to build a home based business despite disabilities, One is a combination of "Wellness Solutions" and the 3rd topic is overcoming MS and other autoimmune challenges. I have my web cam to start videos for You Tube and I'm writing my E-book. I'll go do my homework for now and then go to the Boot Camp video. I have learned so much today. Just have to use my energy correctly. I will complete phase I this week. Thank you so much. Darlene

3 minutes prior to the section on writing a blueprint and putting it on the wall by the computer...I was thinking, gee, I need to write down a specific plan and put it on my desk! Cool. This is all starting to make more sense - I especially like the idea of generous affiliate commissions to gain entry to backend sales...brilliant! Thanks.

Wow, this was a fluke for sure. Cleaning up this over-stuffed email account, opened Frank's email (always open his email:) and here I am looking forward to the call. Most importantly, you managed to answer a couple of questions that have been bugging me very recently. Thanks! Which comes first? The chicken or the egg? Frank or Eben? Eben or Frank?

Posted by: Ernone Horvath | 04:21 PM

Hi Eben! Your teaching skills are definitely at their peak you kept my attention all the way through each video. Your guide lines on staying focused and keeping to a daily routine are definitely beneficial. Some of these I already implement into my daily life however I am a bit shaky in the multitasking habit which has prevented me from succeeding on line. Also using time and knowledge to create value for your customers. In fact to sum up your presentation in a word. Thanks.

Nice work, Eben. Thanks for the 'behind the scenes' look, you've got some super content here and you're a great role model for internet marketers. Interesting to see your dashboard approach for financials and your insights... super job on this!

Posted by: Ken Calhoun | 04:41 PM

I've spent thousands to get this same info. You obviously also have read/interfaced with some of the other "gurus" on marketing and internet marketing in particular.

Wow! What a great video. Much more informative (and interesting) than ALL of the other videos I've spent waaaay too much money on over the years. I've learned more from you for free, than I've learned from other "gurus" that charged me a fortune. Well done. Keep up the great work! Carl Willoughby

Posted by: Carl Willoughby | 05:48 AM

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Although I had done several different actions that were mentioned in your video, I did not have a thriving business. That was because I had mixed up the actions! Now I'm excited because I can see what I left out and what I need to do. I appreciate the information. Sincerely,sikiru

Eben, what you've shared here is invaluable. It's a shame I only found out about it today, 24th May Saturday. When you deliver these valuable information in such clear, concise way -- I sometimes couldn't fall asleep in bed thinking about them over and over, and how to implement them. Thanks, I appreciate this information very much. Now I have to figure out how to take these action steps out. Really, thanks. Seth Chong, 19, Copywriter, talk soon.

Best time spent today..!!! You have made the basic confusion of information coming from too many directions more digestible. You broke down the 'elephant' to small bite size pieces. And, that I am deeply appreciative. So, you can now tell people that you teach 101 Brain Surgery for the masses on a level that would allow all to effectively proactive medicine. -smile- Thank you so very much, Eben. Nedra

Ah, Dr. Mercola's newsletter has led me back to the great David DeAngelo! I bought one of your video seminars a few years ago. It has been one of the best purchases I ever made! This video is also very worthwhile (and free!). I am going to be buying more of your products very soon (even if I don't need them!). Thank you for existing (seriously (I like parenthesis)).

Posted by: John | 02:35 PM

Eben, I should have known you so long ago, that I feel that I've known all alone these things that you teach, You seem to be a good thought in my head. thank you for being there. I very interested in your methods.

Posted by: robert | 12:09 PM

Had your link passed on by a very good friend. Ordinarly i delete them because of amount of spam. I would love give alot of money away and keep alot of money. One of the easiest ways is 'sell something valuable on line' Had a few sales, mainly from family and freinds because they believe in me I guess. Now its time to move up a knotch and do the things I've been putting off. Going to join your training, you are one of the truiest 'if they is such a word' people i have seen online. your energy feels good Shabir

A lot of these sales messages, I was junking out of my email, but yours' seemed different. You appear to be a "real" person who isn't promoting fancy cars and huge homes. You are selling the ability to work and make a good living through hard work; something a lot of folks seem not to think about. Thanks,

Hi Eben, This is one of the best no "BS" tutorials I have seen in a while. I learned the secret is to give away a BIG sample of your product.

Posted by: Hit Back | 07:28 PM

Great insight! 1 of my complaints about INFORMATIONAL PRODUCTS there are too many about "making money". More informational products are needed for other topics. (I am glad suggestion for video tutorials for wordpress and photoshop are realised by some gurus (old and new gurus) who read my posts in another forum.) I think the nname of the forum is WarriorsMarketing or something like that. The other 'complaint' is many do not know how to protect their info-product downloads page. Google "Thank you for your purchase. Here's your download" and you wll see some links with product downloads. This means people can bypass paying the product-owners and still download informational products. I want to learn more on how to do these things RIGHT! Selling online isn't just about putting stuff online to sell. It's more than that (and a lot to learn).

Posted by: Anonymous | 08:25 PM

Thanks Eben, awesome content and the blueprint will help me on my way. I've found it hard trying to keep a job and doing this stuff after hours but the benefits are obviously huge. It can be overwhelming when you think of everything that needs to be done, but like you, we all need to make a start. The live seminar bit scares me though... Cheers Ian

Posted by: Ian McConnell | 07:53 PM

text is worthless nowadays. Ask anybody how many books they've read? none. Ask how many films they've watched? Dozens. The visual media is the way forward..and a way to actually attract people to you..when they can see your face..hear your voice...see your sincerity- that creates a relationship in itself its nice to see somebody in the "seduction" community taking more of a visual medium- without exploiting their valuable information for high pricing you are a very valuable marketing expert and social coach. Hope to see more of ur posts

Posted by: Brendan Corbett | 04:20 PM

Thank you, this info is very powerful as is all info you get when you are a newbie. I very much appriciate this info and look forward to learning more from you. I cant afford much right now but the future is bright and will only get better. Some day I will be in the position to help those whom are in the same boat as me now. This is very exciting for me and cant THANK YOU enough. Bye for now everybody + GOOD LUCK !!!

Hi, It's amazing how much anyone would benifit from listening to Gurus like you....!!! In the next video I wish to hear and see how-to find hot products from Google, Yahoo, MSN....etc. search engines. Thanks

Posted by: Hayel | 06:52 PM

Eben, Finally!Thanks to you I now know a few of the steps to build my business. I am looking forward to your other videos, I re-listen to them over and over and type notes as I go to remember what to do next. After listening to your video, I found that in some area I wasn't too far off base,in other areas it is very sketchy. I seem to be scattered all over the place! I am so glad the teacher is you and that you were here when this student newby was ready to hear! Gratefully Susan Norgren

Posted by: Susan Norgren | 04:54 PM

Hey Eben, good to see you're proceeding forward in your process - keep on going like always & see you around - take care. http://www.SuccessFairy.com PS: I just realised you "stole" 20 minutes of my time :-) no worries, I won't charge you a cent -> instead accept my honest thank you for allowing myself to have a great break Eben - thanks - gotta go ;) ) PPS: I pressed preview and wow, reading the comment without formatting is a pain to my eyes :D but hey, it saves space right? have to stop writing, really need to go, bye.

Posted by: SuccessFairy | 04:37 PM

Great info - and great timing for me actually. I'm just about to build out more of a 'business' instead of just a list. I have alot of pieces of the puzzle; so, the homework is perfect for me. Thanks Eben - you're a PILLAR in the IM Community. (god, that was cheesy) Have Fun, Harris

Posted by: Harris Fellman | 10:26 AM

Eben, Fantastic video, (and PCH sea view too). One of the key takeaways for me is the 'virtual assistant' element, so I'm looking forward to you sharing your techniques in that area, because my concern is when they're off sick etc. (I guess you need to outsource to a team of people just in case) I'm going to go and get on with my tasks, but wanted to post first. Thanks again for sharing some 'highly valuable' information at no cost, it's much appreciated. Thanks, Paul P.S. Gail,... nice post! (Gail Doby who posted above me!)

Posted by: Internet Marketing Guy | 03:40 AM

Hello Eben, Great content! Here is what I learned and applied: 1) Blueprint for business - did it today! 2) Launched our website on Friday...has the new business (Design Success University) that we will spin off after applying your principles. 3) Launched two new blogs - one for consumers and one for designers. 4) Setting up ASK pages to survey consumers and designers. 5) Called consultant with 11,000 designers on his list to discuss joint venture. He already has survey data from previous years with designers. He is interested in joint venturing with me. 6) Hired someone to do the technology piece (outsourcing) to connect our ASK pages, 1 Shopping Cart with our thank you pages and newsletter content. (continuity) 7) Called 5 designer friends to interview them for our survey to develop tailored products. 8) Assigned PR ad article postings to my associate to drive traffic to blogs. 9) Ordered video camera to create new content. 10) Posted five articles on the blogs. 11) Set up 5 new affiliates for content for my program. 12) Next step is preparing press releases to drive traffic to my blogs. 13) Decided on two new products to develop assuming these are on the top five list of products for designers. I know this is a late post, but I was working to get as much done as possible before tonight's seminar. Here is what I would do with the scholarship - My why, now apply NOW! I also commit that I will donate at least 5% of gross proceeds to charity of our new business. The interior design industry is in a difficult period with the economy and the internet. Designers need help with marketing, and I want to consume your material and create a focused product that allows my colleagues to be successful in the new world economy. I would be honored to be a winner of one of your scholarships so I can give back. Many thanks for your consideration. Gail Doby

Hey Eban! As I am writing this I have just watched the sun rise on the east cost for the third night in arrow. I am working on a couple of different advice products using information that I am passionate about and have had just laying around for years. I sometimes have difficulty outlining large projects and in the past I admit that I have found the white of my computer screen to be as cold and intimidating as the arctic ice caps… that is until I started poring over the notes I have taken from the Guru MasterMind webinars. Eban you have given me the tools I needed to start putting my products together. And you accomplished this by moving the free line! You have given me so much value that I can’t wait to give you some value back. A strategy that works well for me is to take stacks and stacks of note cards with each card having only one concept on it and grouping the cards to match the well structured layout that you provided me for me. Looking over these cards helps me structure my thoughts and helps me keep moving along at a good pace. These cards and others like them have spent the past three years living in my pockets and are the principals I choose to live my life by. The stacks of card are rotated ever so often and I try to meditate on one stack 2 or 3 times a day driving these concepts deep within my subconscious mind.

Impressive stuff for an "ass model"! This is just what I needed to start marketing my own products. Thanks Eben.

Hi Eben, I've been away so I'm catching up on these amazing videos you have put up. So after this installment I'm realising I'm a little bit at stage one and a little bit at stage two. What I mean by this is that I have started my ebook (a raw food recipe book) and I've already done some live events - 'cooking' classes. I've already started a list, but I'm not doing a few of the things you mentioned from stage 1, so... I'm getting a solid grounding in stage 1 first. I've written out, on a blank piece of paper, 5 boxes that contain the following parts of my blueprint for getting stage 1 done, they are: - Finished ebook - Sales page for ebook - shopping cart to sell and deliver ebook - Pay-per-click ads - List of 1934 people to sell to (not strictly stage 1 but it's there so I'll use it!) My ebook is planned and I already have some of the recipes tested and photographed, so I'll be cracking on with that. And since reading your marketing voodoo report, I've realised that I also want to, within that ebook, solve my prospects' biggest problem of not having enough time to make recipes (I found this out from surveying them, as you suggested). So their currency is hours and minutes. That has really enabled me to ad a new dimension to this ebook, and the extra value to my prospects will be huge! I'm not going to wait until I have the ebook finished before I start marketing it, because that feels like I'm putting things off, so I'm going to run a pre-order price promotion, just to see if I get any 'bites' as you called them. Also, while that's going on I'm going to start doing some pay-per-click for an ebook of my friend's that I'm selling as an affiliate. That will allow me to test and learn, as it's also a raw food recipe book, but for simple recipes. I want to thank you, I've learnt more and made more progress from this free info than from anything else I've done since starting this business. One way or another, I'll be on the Guru Mastermind course, I can't afford not to be.

Eben, This was very helpful. I realized that I had not finished phase I before I had ventured into Phase II and Phase III! No wonder I'm not making money yet! I skipped learning pay per click however I stumbled on several sites that taught SEO so I managed to get my names and webpages top ten on Google. However, because I don't know PPC, I may not be putting the right keywords in that people are looking for. I used the overture keyword tool and got tons back..however, maybe they were too competitive a keyword term and I never made it to the top for those keywords!! So I ordered a PPC book to learn from to complete phase I. I have already done parts of Phase II but need to know what to hire a virtual assistant for. I know you'll be covering this. Thanks again Eben! Dr. Karen

Wow! Great info! Would you mind turning the volume up, it's hard to hear. Thanks.

I'm loving this new business direction and I'm looking forward to your Webinar's. (sp?) I love that you're using the tools that video can provide you and I'll be paying close attention to how well it works for you... I'll be video heavy myself once my own product is off the ground. I suspect I'll be using all of your new "curriculum" to help me along with that! ~Robby

Love these videos! I'm implementing and about to do my first back-end live event...scary and fun all at once! Thanks for the information and the inspiration Eben!

Eben, I love the way you break things down into groups, ie: the 3 pillars and 3 phases. I am in Phase One and the groupings keep things manageable. You mentioned that there was a low cost way to do video when starting up. I'm considering using a basic web cam at my desk with a backdrop. Any suggestions to get the lighting right? Thanks, Robert

Thank so much for these videos. It`s great to see that you`re a normal person after all. We met at the Marketing Master Class in LA in January. I asked you for coaching on how to get started in this business so I`m really happy that you`ve taken on helping people get going. Just one tip alone from this video about testing affiliate products and just sending people to a publishers salespage to test if a niche is worth pursuing has helped get me going. Just in the last 7 days since this video I`ve begun tested 3 potential niches. 2 haven`t produced any results but 1 has beg
