Scholarship Winners Announced!




This was a tough one. With over 130 stories posted in
a day (and I hope you read some of them, because they
are INSPIRING!)... it wasn't easy.

In fact, there are A LOT of people that deserve to
win a scholarship - no question.

Here are the winners that I've chosen, with my reasons
for each...


>Winner #1: Dan Yumoto Ondiege

REASON: Mainly, because you're one of the most inspiring
people I've ever heard of! Amazing job being TOTALLY
committed to your own success.

And amazing job getting past the fear of giving away
VERY valuable information.

You are the epitome of "Speed Of Implementation" - and
I am thrilled to give you a full scholarship to the
Guru MasterMind!


>Winner #2: Dawn Ramari

REASON: Because you took ACTION - and because you are
ALSO an inspiration for everyone.

The purpose of this scholarship program was to reward
SPEED OF IMPLEMENTATION, and you have shown that you
ARE an implementer.

Thank you for your great story, and I look forward to
working with you!


>Winner #3: Trevor Van Wyk

REASON: You have made the kinds of changes that can
(and will) transform your life and business
PERMANENTLY.

You have changed the "foundational" stuff - not just
the surface stuff.

And the types of new business deals you're doing, the
sharing of the methods with your team, etc. are going
to pay off HUGE for you.

Thank you for also being an IMPLEMENTER... and for
being an example for everyone.

Again, there were SO many great, inspiring stories...

As you can tell, I didn't focus on people who made the
most money - or people who had the biggest businesses.

This was about implementing, and I think that Dan, Dawn,
and Trevor deserve recognition for getting the JOB DONE!

Great job, and I'm looking forward to working with you.

Nice job on your contest Eben! I've been following closely and it takes some real energy and inspiration to get 100+ people to take action and then tell you about it. Kudos :-)

Congratulations to all of the winners. I just came to this blog and learned of the scholarship contest. Maybe another time... I've heard of Eben in the past, but only in the last few days have I had direct email exposure. I am convinced you will have excellent input from Eben. Jannette

(I actually wrote this the same night the announcement was made, and emailed it to you. But I figured that since you are obviously extremely busy with the launch you might not get to read it. So, I thought I should post it here on the blog.) Dear Eben, I know you are very busy with your launch, so I will keep this as short as possible. A few hours ago I checked my email inbox and saw that you selected me as a scholarship recipient for your Guru MasterMind program. Words cannot express how grateful I am. Thank you so much for considering me worthy of your time and coaching, and for the kind words you used to describe me. That is the biggest compliment I have ever received, especially since it came from someone as accomplished and respected as you. I have never been more motivated in my life. Today is truly a turning point in my life. I cannot wait to start learning and implementing your teaching. I cannot wait to meet you in person. I am so excited that I haven't been able to sleep - it's 5:35AM right now as I write. I truly meant every word I said in the letter. I really want to give as much value as I can to as many people as I can while I live. I listened to 2 of your calls on Tuesday (one with Mike Dillard and the other with the 10 gurus). I also listened to your call with Frank Kern today, which was amazing. Achieving what you have with where you started out is truly awe inspiring. I wish you all the best in your launch and really look forward to learning from you and the rest of the mastermind group. Take care and have a great day. Dan Yumoto Ondiege P.S. I now fully understand the meaning of the proverb: "when the student is ready, the teacher appears." Thank you so much for this opportunity. (I would also like to thank those that congratulated me by actually searching for me on Facebook. Thanks a lot guys, and I wish you all the best in business and life. May your businesses grow and prosper.)

Right on for all of you guys! I am envious. I don't have the funds so I won't be there. I know I am missing out on a VERY great opportunity:O(

When I checked my email last night to see who won the contest, when I saw my name, I literally yelled out loud. (in excitement!) My wife was sitting next to me on the couch and got startled and said, "What's wrong, What's wrong?" And I told her I was one of the winners of the contest and I was going to be receiving arguably the best business, marketing, and success training on the planet for the next year. All I can say is WOW! I am so excited to do this and I plan on being 100% committed to this training during the next year. I want to thank those of you who wrote the kind comments on this blog and I also want to thank those of you around the world who hunted down my email address and personally emailed me to congratulate me. And to Eben: Thank you very much for this opportunity. I am VERY excited for what's ahead and I can't wait to get started! I know this next year will be life changing for me. Trevor Van Wyk
