Win One of 3 Full Scholarships to the Guru MasterMind Training Program...




It's time to see who has the best implementation story. The time has come!

>>>Here's What To Do...

Tell me the story about which new concept or technique you learned in one of my videos, how you implemented it, and the results that you achieved. This isn't necessarily about who made the most money (although that's not the worst thing that can happen).

It's about who took what they learned, put it into action, and got results.

I will be judging the entries personally, and choosing the three winners myself... and announcing them on Monday.

I've decided to make this SUPER fun, and I'm going to give away three full PLATINUM 1-year memberships to the Guru MasterMind - a value of $11,964 EACH.

The winners will be announced THIS Wednesday, May 28th... and hopefully you'll be one of them!

So tell me your "Speed Of Implementation Success Story" - and good luck winning one of the three Platinum Scholarships to the Guru MasterMind!

NOTE: Put your story in the "comments" box below, and only submit your story ONCE (it will be individually reviewed before being posted, and won't show up immediately).

Pretty nice site, wants to see much more on it! :)
Hi Eben, Your program almost seems too good to be true. I've been doing MLM for a few years now and things just seemed to be going slow. There are people in the orginazation that tell me and I've seen make lots of money and time available for family life. If you could get me on the right track to financial freedom I would appreciate it greatly! You can Visit the site: www.HealthyLivingCoaches.net. to see what we can offer you. I look forward to hear from you. Thank you for your time. Joe Zappia
Just making the Home Page clearer was a big difference. Timee will tell when clients/opt-ins show up, but I hadn't seen before your explanation where I was being unclear. Thank you. I'm very 101 about marketing as it has confused and frustrated me for over 3 years - all marketing info hadn't produced a single dollar. If you're choosing someone 'off the street' I would be grateful to be chosen. Thanks for the direction on clarity, it has made a difference. Gabriele
The new (to me) technique was your quiz. First, I scoured the web to find a version that directed the leads to Infusion CRM. Next, I create a new separate AdWords ad and pointed the traffic to that quiz. You'll recognize immediately how much I ripped from what you taught me by glancing at the quiz... http://www.chessopeningssoftware.com/quiz/ By the way, I took me sweet time putting it together, until I got your DVDs with your admonition on speed of implementation. -- Mike
I invested the research, time and money to open up a franchise in the espresso coffee business. One year later after little guidance from the franchise company, I had to reverse course. The manfacturing company who built by espresso cart supposedly according to Ca. code, I found out that the Health Dept. said wee had a rule change in the requirements this last summer and they said I should have had plans, blue prints, drawings, etc. submitted to the health dept. before a location which took about a year to find. After I got all the permits (except health) dept. they said they could not pass this cart. I created my own training manual, etc. and for the last 5 months I've been trying to get them to re sell it to their nationawide chain. No support here, so I am calling most of the existing owners about the discounted opportunity that will expand their sales. I tols them do research on compliances first. Broke, frustrated and looking for the REal Deal! B.C.
From your videos and ebooks, I have reinforced content, site map and strengthened SEO functions at Putt's Place. Also, you have discussed unique graphics, and that is an important feature to Putt's Place. Close to launch, we are already driving traffic so we have an urgency to keep going! I am somewhat surprised at how many new ideas have been done in days gone by. You preach creativity and innovation... Since I have just spent my kids inheritance, I am betting on you being right! I appreciate what you provide... Putt Fleming www.PuttsPlace.com
Hi I dont know if its too late, but i'll say it anyway. I have been looking for direction, balance and strength in order to achieve my goals; but have constantly hit a brick wall. But watching your videos thaught me how to sort out the core of all and any situation and that is 'yourself'. I begun to follow your daily health tips start after watching your videos and i'm feeling great already. I now see the light at the end of the tunnel and somehow the big picture is so clear. I have the energy to look after my three children and juggle my taking care of my, unfortunatley not so well child and work. I will not be able to attend the question session today as i will be in hospital with my daughter, as i was when i had the oppertunity to apply for a scholarship. Has this would be so great for me and my children it will be life changing, i would be able to care for my ill child as well as make a rewarding income and life for us. I know what i want to achieve and where i want to get to; i just want someone to show me how? Thank you Yasmin
Hellow,life you know is full of ups and downs and the more we try new ideas, the more we realize our mistakes and the more perfect and successful we get.I was selling banner in both large and small quantities distributed by a business partner.It got to a time that the prices were exhorbitant and I began losing customers so I demanded for a price reduction from my distributor but he refuse and stop distributing his products to me.Some weeks later,my customers were back with large demands and I had do cling to this opporetunity.I resulted to manufacturing the products myself and put them up for comments and remarks.This went on for months till I got the ideas and employed more hands which I trainned to make more for my customers.I began getting more contract and became the sole distributor in the city. I make them for various occasions,churches etc.I will not have accomplished it if I hadn't taken the bold step,therefore do the same and you shall succed. Richard
Though this is late I'm sharing it anyways...The thing that I got most out of your training with Altitude is the importance of speed of implementation - Being on the road at conferences for most of 2007 and transitioning from a GREAT offline business to an online one, my partner and I were producing teleseminar content like crazy. But, because we were on the road, we'd not outsourced the building of infrastructure yet, so it was generating leads, but we weren't making cash on the teleseminar recordings/transcripts/action guides. A genius idea is one that makes money NOW not tomorrow...so the solution was easy - sell it to the offline customers during appointments... Results in 90 days - 65K. Not bad for not having a squeeze page up yet. PLUS, we got to use this in a case study for another course we are teaching locally as to what's possible when you're making the transition from a bricks and mortar business, to an online model... And yes - we just hired our webmaster yesterday...one that works with several high profile gurus... Why re-invent the wheel? Danny
hi, i'm really impressed about the sucess stories of many people from your trainning techniques,the thing here is i,m not so good on online marketting
Hi! Mr.Eben Pegan Please forgive me if you may as I'm a man of very few words, but I will try my best here. First it is my Honor to know you. My first time was with a teleseminar that was on the 29 Apr 08 with youself, Shawn Casey and Tellman Knudson in the List Pros program an your information was very helpful in helping on getting my website. I then went to your website and sign up for your newsletter. That when I started getting your emails with your free videos, as I watch these videos I could see a connection as most of the books that you mention I have read but never applied this knowledge as I was too busy raising a family at the time. I have more time on my hands these days as I'm a disabled veteren that has been force to retired. This bring me to the main reason why I writing as it has been a tuff road to ho on getting my VA benafits. I would to have the Honor and a pleasure to work with such a master teacher as yourself. I can see how your program could help me help other, like disabled veterens like myself. I say again it is my Honor to know you. Thank You List Pros Rick Burdo
Eben, The first email I received for the GM program I thought here we go again another hyped up Internet maketing product which over promises and under-delivers. The times I've been lead down the path to the field of broken promises, on my dime, I can't count! I am running out of fingers and toes to keep track of them. And I can tell you I don't want to reach 21. Some appendages should just not be used for such things. Not wanna go there! I can't tell you the stress and aggravation that I've experienced when the lessons I learn are great but there is no or little instruction on how to carry them out, which slashes their value to almost nil. I know you hold implementation high on the ladder of character traits of successful people. Makes sense. So I must commend you on the lessons placed on GMblog so far. They're clear concise and well considered, without a doubt you know your stuff... that's probably no revelation to you. Not to sound like a sycophant but kudos to you. You like speed of implementation. So it comes as no surprise really that you teach in a way that's easy to implement. You've inspired me to get things done that I've had no idea how to do or that I even needed to do them. So this is what I've done so far. I've not completed everything yet, but I'll get there. From the video on time management or as Steve Covey says "managing myself" 1.Get up earlier. 2.Water to start the day (sometimes with organic wheat grass powder) and a healthy first meal. 3.Exercise and I've made a chart keep a record of what I've done. 4.Meditation for 15-20minutes. Breathing is very cool and I know that sounds corny but it is. 5.I'm listening to my ultradian rhythms. No more coffee. Ouch that was a tough one, but I'm seeing the benefits already. 6.After that Reading something that will will help my business. (Currently the E-myth) 7.Working in focused blocks of time. With clear focus and no friction. It's tax time here in Australia and I worked on that with my wife and we accomplished more in a day than we had in the previous two weeks! That's no word of a lie either. From the video on psychic sales letters. 8. My wife and I realized we need to know what's going on in our prospects heads. So we emailed some of them a questionnaire and got back some amazing feedback that we are using to create a psychic sales letter. (Please read that line with a raised eyebrow and Halloween music in your head to give it an eerie enigmatic sound) 9.Much of what I intend to do online is related to teaching through video and after watching yours I studied and took note of what you did. I took a close look at how you keep your videos engaging, how you used lighting, and how often you changed the shot. 10. I set up hosting for my domain name. 11. Got a paypal account which would take subscriptions. (This was one of the simplest and most powerful bits from your video for me) 12.I set up a home studio to make videos. (Bought some cheap lighting, fabric for a back drop, microphone for my camera, and put in place and took some test video) There may have been some other things too. But that's all I can recall. There are still gapping holes in my knowledge. Sometimes I know what to do (Thanks in part to you) and do it. Other times I know what to do and have no idea how to do it. And at times I want to ask somebody, like yourself, for a tip or advice or a nudge or kick in the right direction. Well that's my implementation application. Cheers Sincerely Eddie Shelton
And the winner is? Hi Eban, you are brilliant. I think it would be an honor to learn from you. I've been in the process of implementing marketing strategies off and on for a few years now. From what I've learned from you thus far that is my problem... "off and on". So far I have several "free line" marketing pieces and landing pages to go along with them. I understand auto responders and marketing campaigns. I've developed a fair size opt in list. I like to write but understand I can always learn more about copy writing and more creating more compelling calls to action. I just barely learned about you, your program and your offer a few hours ago. I've already mapped out my Customers/ Conversion / and Content. I realize I have most of the pieces of the puzzle, I just need someone to show me how to put it all together to make the beautiful picture it can be. That picture eventually is massive change for the better. I think anyone in their right mind in this country knows things can be better. I think with what you know and some good old american ambition change can happen. Not just for you and me but for everyone.
Well done on a really fantastic set of teaching videos. I only came across your information 5 days ago and have been listening learning and implementing your information as fast as possible. What I am really thrilled about is your teaching technique and how you seem to be able to fill in the gaps of information that have eluded me. At last this whole online information business model is starting to make sense. Im a newbie and have been devouring as much information as possible and yet felt very insecure about joining the dots and rolling out the beginnings of a business. I had got to a stage where I had actually stalled because I did not have the skill or ability to take things further . I'm a newbie to internet marketing and development and have decided to create a niche business online (way out of my comfort zone I might add). I intend to create a learning portal for women using as many learning tools as possible including e-books CD's audio's video podcasts tele-classes and mentoring. It is my dream to have a membership site and run it as a life skill university for young married women with children juggling career and family.I only got wind of your site 5 days ago and feel like its been an answer from heaven. Each video I listen to I take notes and implement as much as possible with the skill I have. I have created some product and started building a templated website but that is as far as I had got until I happened to find your videos. Since listening to your information I realize I was heading down the wrong track and would have floundered had I not had the information I am now putting into place.An online business is a whole new ball game and the same rules don't apply as off line. I have been working like a mad woman trying to implement as many ideas as possible before your videos are taken offline as there is unfortunately no way I could find the funds for your mastermind class just at the moment. This is what I have implemented. What I have endeavoured to do is listen to each video take notes and then systematically implement as much as I'm technically able to. 1. After listening to the videos I realized my vision was far too small and I had not given myself permission to think about the enormous possibilities of creating an Internet empire. I went back to the drawing board and mentally exploded my ideas on vision and goal setting to a place where I know I'm really going to have to stretch my universe. The excitement of the possibilities are far more driving than they have ever been and more likely to keep me in the zone to move forward and upward. I am very determined to succeed. 2. I then went over to www.doubleyourdating.com to see what I could glean from the site. Wow it had an amazing system all of its own and it was a step-by-step blueprint of a landing page for me to copy. The copy page was amazing which progressed into the best sales letter I have ever read. It certainly had me wanting to read the book until I reminded myself I was happily married and "kiss proofed" . I book marked the site immediately for further reference. I don't believe in re-inventing the wheel so I will copy the frameworks to hang my own information on. 3. I certainly took huge notes on the pillars and affiliate ideas and have already put some of the actions into place. I have started setting up a newsletter with Constant contact looked into Aweber and Get Response to build my data base Just not sure which one to go with yet waiting to get more info. 4. I have book-marked almost 30 sites I will be approaching for the purpose of JV's or to link to or advertise with. I also have the idea I might submit articles if they need information with back links to my site. 5. I have outlined free products I am going to create to bring about conversions. I'm looking at building a series of audio and teleclass products, as I don't have the skill to video just yet. As a newbie just getting to this stage is huge. 6. Really getting the handle on relationship building and how I can be seen to be giving, helping and growing my customers life satisfaction. 7. I have written an e-book (that is all I had done prior to these videos) Im now working on how to split one e-book into several information products to collate my customer pillars. 8. I'm now using the 3 phase model to structure my business...(No point in reinventing the wheel) 9. I'm trying to get my head around pay per click right now. I really don't know a lot about this so I will have to learn what to do. 10. I am looking at Pay Pal and Clickbank to see where I might host my book and how people can pay me. 11. Getting my head around affiliate marketing and deciding on a price point for my book, which includes an affiliate. I am definitely going to develop an affiliate audio product, which will pay 100% affiliate fee to help with my conversions. 12. Researching Elance and rent - a coder so I can outsource to keep my business time focused. 13. I have made a couple of audio's which I will use as a hook to get women to join my teleclass I have written a 7 step email campaign which will help me market my coaching mentoring classes 14.I am writing articles to submit to sites and article submission sites. I downloaded the software you gave us.....thank you sooo much for this. I had something in mind for a program like this but thought I would have to get someone to help me build the software. I am going to use this like crazy because it is such a wonderful marketing tool. I hate cold selling people and would much prefer to offer value while collecting a data base so it's a win win. I have nearly finished the questionnaire. I have made some small Podcasts which I am uploading to a little "internet radio station" I created to help get my branding out there. I have spent a good 14 hours a day on this project for the last 5 days. Sleep is not an option as I'm so determined to succeed at this. Im sorry I cant deliver any financials at this stage ...but Im sure I will within the month. I would really like to thank you once again Eben it has really been like having my own personal mentor. I would like to ask you for a place in your Guru Mastermind scholarship class. I believe I have the capability to achieve an amazing business and more importantly to help many others get what they need with your help. I cannot believe what I have achieved in 5 short days and would love to continue and make this business a reality Warm Regards Susie P
Hello Eben, Joseph Mercola sits on the faculty of my school, the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC. Seven days ago, I learned of your videos through Dr. Mercola's business mastermind group. In the last week, I've gained more insight and knowledge than I've gathered during the last half year of trying to navigate the world of internet advice marketing. While the information you've provided has jump-started my business, I feel my story may pale in comparison with the undoubtedly stellar accomplishments others with more time have been able to achieve. So rather than try to compete, I'd like to try to make you an offer you can't turn down. Clearly, you've seen the ecstatic reactions you received in response to your video "Becoming a Productive Modern Guru". The advice you gave regarding the morning routine was solid, but what made it remarkable was its simplicity. Your audience devoured it because sadly, our society has lost touch with some of the most basic elements of self-care. Things like getting enough movement, finding appropriate foods to support our bodies, and surrounding ourselves with healthy relationships have become things of the past. This is where I come in. This is what I am skilled at doing. I can take a room full of average Joes, ranging from McDonald's regulars to even those who are actively trying to improve their health, and guide them to levels of wellbeing they've never dreamed of. As a coach, I help to inspire my clients and bring forth within them an enthusiasm for creating a level of wellness they've never felt before. As you begin to employ the basics of quantum physics and change the belief patterns of your students, I can super charge your efforts. I specifically work with people to get foods into their bodies to ignite the neural networks in their brains and create levels of focus beyond compare. I help them discover exercise they love to do, introduce them to mindfulness techniques and relationship building tools which create balance in all aspects of their lives. With my knowledge and ability to teach these much needed life skills, I believe you could triple the effectiveness of your program providing unprecedented value to your students. In my opinion, you have a chance to create uber men and women by creating true health in their bodies, wealth in their minds and a sincere desire to follow their passions, giving generously to all. From the bottom of my heart, it is my most sincere desire to be able to provide my skills to your organization and your students. I can do so at no cost to you. I'm willing to offer my time, energy and resources simply to form a relationship with your amazing organization. I will gladly send you a proposal for how I believe I could partner with you. I humbly thank you again for all you've done for me and I greatly look forward to being able to contribute in kind. Sincerely, Eve Colantoni, CHC eve@urbanalchemywellness.com www.urbanalchemywellness.com (202) 297-3707
Hello Eben. I couldn't access your psychic sales letters because I use a MAC. You say it will be optimized for MACs soon. I've watched many of your videos, and listened to the teleseminar with Frank Kern and the big one with 10 other "gurus." I've listened and watched Armand Morin, Joel Comm, Mike Dillard, Michael Cheney, Brad Fallon and Stompernet, Shawn Casey and Tellman Knudsen, Christopher Westra, Cody Moya, Lisa Diane, Yanik Silver, Mark Joyner, Dani Johnson, Ken McArthur, Tony Robbins, etc. etc., etc. I love you all. I design websites and am an artist but am studying how to make my living through internet marketing. I'm teaching two classes at the local community college this summer - Wines of the World and a Mural Painting Class, so I'd have to squeeze my time to take your course, but that is what I would love to do. Finally create wealth so I can share it and offer more free services. I'm a writer and a musician and have a lot to offer. Am on the verge of launching myself and really making a difference in others lives as well as mine. All of my websites are begging for my attention - have been busy making a buck designing brochures and others' websites. I work from home now, just need to take the leap into "massive productivity." I'm beating my scarcity mindset, letting go of my fear and dropping my insecurity. My body, mind and spirit are so ready to evolve. Thank you for your consideration. Susanna Jade Angolani
It's still May 28th and I'm sure this will reach Eban to be in consideration for his personal training. I started my quest for knowledge into internet marketing in January, sought out IM guru's to learn from...was important to keep my integrity while offering a service and ultimate product, didn't connect with that for quite awhile, you see I am guided to inspire other through tragedy such as I experienced. I am now an expert in loss and grief, but people still want to hear my story...fast forward....from what I have been learning I had an opt in page built and blog, just found your video's this week..Geez, what to do with this new found information - well, here's what I've implemented in the past few days - #1 Made my list of top ten problems of my prospect #2-I immediatley changed my autorepsonder broadcast to connect with my prospects in a manner more true to my heart and stopped the idea of selling them something. I end each email with a questions "How can I help you?" #3-created 2 free downloads of free information -(some of my best tips, I'm not saving for last!) #4-changed broadcast to giving free inspirational info for the course of a month (what I'll do next is yet to be learned)#5-researching content for free ebook #5 outsourced artwork for new logo rather than doing it myself #6-outsourced a video on myself to replace the photo on my opt in page to connect more personally with prospects #7-spent time resourcing places to build my list, example-contacted people who responded to a newspaper article story written up about me surviving loss asking how I can help them? I am certain that my expertise needs to be shared and I'm on the right track, just yearning for this opportunity to be mentored.
Hey Eban! I had a problem uploading the video because it was too big so here's the FUN part of it and how I implemented the strategy and improved my Alexa ranking by 302, 000 places in 2 weeks with just a couple of your strategies as explained in the previous comment. You can watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AelyHXk6iRM Eban, please consider my entry and I didn't get the comment in on time because I spent a great deal of time on video and there were uploading problems and all that. I look forward to hearing from you =) Sincerely, SaiF Below is the original comment for you consideration: Hi Eban, I'm Saiful Rizal from sunny Singapore and I believe I deserve to win one of the scholarships! :) So here's a summary of what I did: ============ A little about me ============ I started my personal development blog at AskSaiful.com on Jaunary 1st 2008 with the main objective of giving people the system I use to get the law of attraction working for them time after time, EVERY time because I believed I have stumbled across the magic formula. However, the first month was quite disappointing. I only had 27 readers but I pushed forward with faith to fulfill my intention of having my new year's resolution of having 10,000 readers by the end of the year. Now, I have a list of about 400 people and just recently, after implementing just a couple of your strategies you gave in the videos and synergizing them together, I have had tremendous results. ========= What I did ========= I understood the concept of moving the free line and although I've had over 400 downloads, I know that 90% of those people weren't reading it due to the low perceived value. So I created a 7 day E-course that gives people E-mail coaching access to me and I would coach people all the way. Even though there was a higher response, it was only marginally higher. ================================= The thing you said that changed everything ================================= I was watching the 7 step video and you talked about the High Value Package while moving the free line. The moment I finished watching that video, I realized that I had to do that. I also had a sense that the underlying lesson was that you have to look at yourself like an expert and get others to look at you as an expert. So here's what I did. I combined my E-book, my Law of Attraction Inner Circle Coaching Club Membership (The 7 Day E-course) and I also threw in the best chapter from the second book I was writing and created a package. Since I was to look at myself as an expert, I named the package "Inspired Attraction: The Law of Attraction Starter Pack" and it was valued at $150. =============== Going the extra mile =============== I didn't want to stop there because I was beginning to see the power in this. So what I did was I used your idea of using Relationship Content and the Framework you taught me (the past, present and future) and I created a story about... 1) The past - my pains, sufferings and frustrations as someone who just began to understand abit about the Law of Attraction (after watching The Secret - the bulk of my target market) 2) The present - I highlighted the great things I have attracted into my life that would be the hot buttons to my audience e.g. attracted a total of $6000, and just a few days ago, I attracted a Billionaire (yes that's with a B) into my life who is looking to connect my blogging expertise to his company. 3) The future - putting them into the future and what they can have if they opt-in and get my Inspired Attraction Package ====================== The MAGIC started to happen ====================== I don't know how to measure conversion rates on opt-ins but what I can tell you is that the QUALITY of the leads from this new opt-in page was so much more SUPERB than the old one. They were more responsive and as a result: - While last time only 1 in 20 would take me up on the coaching (5%), now it's 8 in 20 (40%) so that's effectively an increase in 800% - I created better relationships with them and they trust every word I say (due to the story that I created) - I also implemente the survey concept you told me about and the people who graduated from the course were directed to a survey form where I got to ask questions about what else they want to learn - More importantly, I asked for testimonials and I now have tons of testimonials that can be used in salesletter etc - I have also set myself up for success since I have created trust, likeability and relatibilty and as you know Eban, people only buy from people they like and trust. - The people were referring their friends and I didn't even know about it! So I immediately got a tell a friend script and it is now part of my system ================== The BIGGEST Shocker ================== So here's the biggest shocker! As a result of creating trust, likability and relatabilty, I've gotten more loyal and raving fans and as a result the traffic is going crazy. In just 2 weeks time, my Alexa Ranking went from 652,000+ to 356, 036!!! That's almost an increase by 50% in TWO WEEKS!!!! THAT'S JUST CRAZY, EBAN! THANK YOU THANK YOU! THANK YOU! ======================== The Continued Implementation ======================== I just bought a GetResponse account yesterday so that I can add even more value and use your Psychic Sales letter! =) I am now in the first week of my prelaunch process and I have created high quality 40 min videos that provide the answers to the most asked questions that I have learnt from the Surveys and interactions from the people as a result of applying that one single concept! This content will then be repurposed after the launch as more high quality content to be given away as CONVERSION CONTENT as you call it and be used to create more value to create more trust =) I have also implemented the consultation calls and I have gotten 4 in the past 24 hours of implementation. And one last thing I would like to mention is this: I expect to have 20 Coaching Clients by the end of the launch process at $600/ person which will give me an expected earning of $12,000 for my first launch! ============================== Why I should win one of the scholarships ============================== I promise you that out of the 3 people whom you give the scholarships to I will come out as the biggest success story - it will be a superbly huge testimonial to you, Eben as my intention is to make my first MILLION DOLLAR LAUNCH by my 21st birthday on 21st January 2009. After reading the Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel, I went into the silence and got my subsconscious mind to come up with the answer as to how I was going to make my first million. And the answer began with the million dollar launch. Even I didn't know how then, I know now how to do that and that is through you =) I also believe this information that I hold is life changing and transforming -and it has been proven time and again. Let me give you an example, one of the people whom I coached, Kathy for that 7 days not only attracted a HUGE pay raise in one month, in the next month she also attracted a new job with a higher pay raise and better working environments. =) Although I may not have the money at the moment to invest in your program, what I do have is TIME. I had an achilles tendon tear about 2-3 months ago and I can't walk. I have this special boot on and which means that I don't have anywhere to go, and I have all the time in the world considering the many months of medical leave the doctors have given me, I can take the information, implement it X 100 and like I said I will be your best student. Lastly, I noticed that people were boasting that they made between $10, 000 and $300, 000. I think if you look up "Scholarship" in the dictionary it means "A grant of financial aid awarded to a student, as for the purpose of attending a college" I only earn US$200 per mth and I don't think it's possible for me to get this kind of education without a scholarship. Winning this scholarship means more than just a scholarship to me. Winning this scholarship means winning in life and I hope you would assist me in making my dreams come true. I intend to be Asia's #1 Success Coach - and one who does it from the platform of the Internet and I believe I attracted you into my life Eben because YOU ARE THE MAN that can make this happen! I LOVE YOU EBEN! Thank you for this opportunity! P.S. The video I stayed up all night for to make for you needs some more time to upload. I wish you could watch it but I'm afraid it will be beyond the dateline. So I have to give you this instead. Pick me, give me 6 months and I'll give you a million dollar launch that will be the biggest success story Guru Mastermind has ever seen!

I have purchased right to resell a large qty of ebooks. I have determined my first niche - cooking, and am now working on creating my first freebee to catch attention. I have enough books to create a subscription plan for book of the month, with a newsletter including tips and info for that months ebook and comments and tips from the previous month and a blog for community development.
Hi Eben> Thank you for this opportunity. This will be short and sweet. 1) I started my business 2 1/2 months ago. 2) Joined a MLM company to sell their products. 3) Joined 4 affiliate programs and began to study their content. 4) Began posting to blogs, and wrote an article about the product and posted it. 5) Watched your video and came up with an idea for an ebook. 6) Logged onto elance and posted for someone to write my ebook. I am now waiting for a response. 7) I put an ad at Google for one of my affiliate programs. However, I soon learned my keywords were too expensive. I pulled my ad last week to study my keywords further and repost. 8) I am writing out my goals as you suggested. After my ebook is written I plan to sell it on Clickbank and in a press release, and Blogs. I have full rights. I will also copywrite it. 9) I have a software product in mind that I will sell with my ebook. I also want to research this topic and hire someone to develop this software for me so that I will own that too. Whew! Thanks for your wonderful video and advice. I gotta go as I have much work to do. Thank you and take care.
Hi! Mr.Eben Pegan Please forgive me if you may as I'm a man of very few words, but I will try my best here. First it is my Honor to know you. My first time was with a teleseminar that was on the 29 Apr 08 with youself, Shawn Casey and Tellman Knudson in the List Pros program an your information was very helpful in helping on getting my website. I then went to your website and sign up for your newsletter. That when I started getting your emails with your free videos, as I watch these videos I could see a connection as most of the books that you mention I have read but never applied this knowledge as I was too busy raising a family at the time. I have more time on my hands these days as I'm a disabled veteren that has been force to retired. This bring me to the main reason why I writing as it has been a tuff road to ho on getting my VA benafits. I would to have the Honor and a pleasure to work with such a master teacher as yourself. I can see how your program could help me help other, like disabled veterens like myself. I say again it is my Honor to know you. Thank You List Pros Rick Burdo
Eban Pagan + Saiful Rizal + 2 Weeks = 302,000? Hi Eban! I'm Saiful Rizal from sunny Singapore and before I say anything, I'd like to say I LOVE YOU MAN! You know why and everyone else who has applied your strategies know why too! Because you have single-handedly propelled us to success! =) I actually created a video just for you and I've stayed up all night to create that video and edit it but looks like I'm not going to be on time to upload it. Please give me a few minutes and I'll give you the link Eban.. I just saw your E-mail after a hard day's work and I began creating the video straight away. So here's a summary of what I did: ============ A little about me ============ I started my personal development blog at AskSaiful.com on Jaunary 1st 2008 with the main objective of giving people the system I use to get the law of attraction working for them time after time, EVERY time because I believed I have stumbled across the magic formula. However, the first month was quite disappointing. I only had 27 readers but I pushed forward with faith to fulfill my intention of having my new year's resolution of having 10,000 readers by the end of the year. Now, I have a list of about 400 people and just recently, after implementing just a couple of your strategies you gave in the videos and synergizing them together, I have had tremendous results. ========= What I did ========= I understood the concept of moving the free line and although I've had over 400 downloads, I know that 90% of those people weren't reading it due to the low perceived value. So I created a 7 day E-course that gives people E-mail coaching access to me and I would coach people all the way. Even though there was a higher response, it was only marginally higher. ================================= The thing you said that changed everything ================================= I was watching the 7 step video and you talked about the High Value Package while moving the free line. The moment I finished watching that video, I realized that I had to do that. I also had a sense that the underlying lesson was that you have to look at yourself like an expert and get others to look at you as an expert. So here's what I did. I combined my E-book, my Law of Attraction Inner Circle Coaching Club Membership (The 7 Day E-course) and I also threw in the best chapter from the second book I was writing and created a package. Since I was to look at myself as an expert, I named the package "Inspired Attraction: The Law of Attraction Starter Pack" and it was valued at $150. =============== Going the extra mile =============== I didn't want to stop there because I was beginning to see the power in this. So what I did was I used your idea of using Relationship Content and the Framework you taught me (the past, present and future) and I created a story about... 1) The past - my pains, sufferings and frustrations as someone who just began to understand abit about the Law of Attraction (after watching The Secret - the bulk of my target market) 2) The present - I highlighted the great things I have attracted into my life that would be the hot buttons to my audience e.g. attracted a total of $6000, and just a few days ago, I attracted a Billionaire (yes that's with a B) into my life who is looking to connect my blogging expertise to his company. 3) The future - putting them into the future and what they can have if they opt-in and get my Inspired Attraction Package ====================== The MAGIC started to happen ====================== I don't know how to measure conversion rates on opt-ins but what I can tell you is that the QUALITY of the leads from this new opt-in page was so much more SUPERB than the old one. They were more responsive and as a result: - While last time only 1 in 20 would take me up on the coaching (5%), now it's 8 in 20 (40%) so that's effectively an increase in 800% - I created better relationships with them and they trust every word I say (due to the story that I created) - I also implemente the survey concept you told me about and the people who graduated from the course were directed to a survey form where I got to ask questions about what else they want to learn - More importantly, I asked for testimonials and I now have tons of testimonials that can be used in salesletter etc - I have also set myself up for success since I have created trust, likeability and relatibilty and as you know Eban, people only buy from people they like and trust. - The people were referring their friends and I didn't even know about it! So I immediately got a tell a friend script and it is now part of my system ================== The BIGGEST Shocker ================== So here's the biggest shocker! As a result of creating trust, likability and relatabilty, I've gotten more loyal and raving fans and as a result the traffic is going crazy. In just 2 weeks time, my Alexa Ranking went from 652,000+ to 356, 036!!! That's 302,000 places that I jumped over other websites in TWO WEEKS, EBAN! INSANE!!! That's almost an increase by 50% in TWO WEEKS!!!! THAT'S JUST CRAZY, EBAN! THANK YOU THANK YOU! THANK YOU! ======================== The Continued Implementation ======================== I just bought a GetResponse account yesterday so that I can add even more value and use your Psychic Sales letter! =) I am now in the first week of my prelaunch process and I have created high quality 40 min videos that provide the answers to the most asked questions that I have learnt from the Surveys and interactions from the people as a result of applying that one single concept! This content will then be repurposed after the launch as more high quality content to be given away as CONVERSION CONTENT as you call it and be used to create more value to create more trust =) I have also implemented the consultation calls and I have gotten 4 in the past 24 hours of implementation. And one last thing I would like to mention is this: I expect to have 20 Coaching Clients by the end of the launch process at $600/ person which will give me an expected earning of $12,000 for my first launch! ============================== Why I should win one of the scholarships ============================== 1) I promise you that out of the 3 people whom you give the scholarships to I will come out as the biggest success story - it will be a superbly huge testimonial to you, Eben as my intention is to make my first MILLION DOLLAR LAUNCH by my 21st birthday on 21st January 2009. After reading the Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel, I went into the silence and got my subsconscious mind to come up with the answer as to how I was going to make my first million. And the answer began with the million dollar launch. Even I didn't know how then, I know now how to do that and that is through you =) 2) I also believe this information that I hold is life changing and transforming -and it has been proven time and again. Let me give you an example, one of the people whom I coached, Kathy for that 7 days not only attracted a HUGE pay raise in one month, in the next month she also attracted a new job with a higher pay raise and better working environments. =) 3) Although I may not have the money at the moment to invest in your program, what I do have is TIME. I had an achilles tendon tear about 2-3 months ago and I can't walk. I have this special boot on and which means that I don't have anywhere to go, and I have all the time in the world considering the many months of medical leave (28 days till the next appointment) the doctors have given me, I can take the information, implement it X 100 and like I said I will be your best student. Lastly, I noticed that people were boasting that they made between $10, 000 and $300, 000. I think if you look up "Scholarship" in the dictionary it means "A grant of financial aid awarded to a student, as for the purpose of attending a college" I only earn US$200 per mth and I don't think it's possible for me to get this kind of education without a scholarship. Winning this scholarship means more than just a scholarship to me. Winning this scholarship means winning in life and I hope you would assist me in making my dreams come true. I intend to be Asia's #1 Success Coach - and one who does it from the platform of the Internet and I believe I attracted you into my life Eben because YOU ARE THE MAN that can make this happen! I LOVE YOU EBEN! Thank you for this opportunity! P.S. The video I stayed up all night to make for you needs some more time to upload. I wish you could watch it but I'm afraid it will be beyond the dateline. So I have to give you this instead. Pick me Eban, give me 6 months and I'll give you a million dollar launch that will be the biggest success story Guru Mastermind has ever seen!

Is my comment not going to post? I posted it at 2:30pm. please let me know.
I have watched the videos over and over again to get all the "juice" out of them I can. I got turned on to niche marketing via my boyfriend who is a student of yours and others (I was always listening to things--thinking how great--but never implementing). I had no idea what I could do. What I could offer. Then I figured it out. I watched your vids, set up a site, started testing, I am going after people with desire (people that are looking for me)-My site is a live skincare consultation site (with tons of freeline content: ebooks on different conditions, interviews with consultants, phds, dermatologists, aestheticians, everyone & thing skin related. I have not done any consultations yet, but I am super excited about it. ok, I just started this thing recently BUT I need to be FREE-as in doing my own thing and growing-implementing creative ideas, and building an empire, slowly. I need a coaching to take me to the next level, where I am on my own ass (like a martial artist). I have much respect for you since you are so on point (I want to be that on point!). So..... teach me. Also, your talk on time mangement &
Hello Eben and thank you for this amazing opportunity. I am a relative newcomer to internet marketing -- definitely in Phase 1 of my business cycle. I have no real experience building sites, writing e-books or marketing products on the Internet. But I want to learn and build a profitable business FAST. After viewing your video last night, I have already taken action toward completing Phase 1 -- more on that in a moment... I became interested in internet marketing last fall when I tore ligaments and cartilage in my hand, and was unable to work for five months. The subsequent surgery of fusing the bone and installing screws and pins did not adequately fix the problem, so I am still unable to work full-time as a photographer. The hand injury was a culmination of a long series of catastrophies affecting my life in the past couple years. I have found it difficult to obtain employment anywhere, not to mention I can't really work as a photographer. When I do get a photography assignment, I ice up the day before, take pain killers the day that I work, and ice up & take pain killers the day after. I have realized that I probably will be a part-time photographer the rest of my life, and I'm not waiting around for anyone to hire me, either. As a single dad, I needed INCOME, and I've always been inteested in the internet and e-commerce... In the past few months, I have immersed myself in A LOT of information, and I have heard your name as one of the true experts in the field. I have gotten more out of these free videos than in many of the paid programs I've invested in, and your systematic approach has already helped me analyze where my business is and what I need to do to take it to complete Phase 1 and start making my first sale. I decided to create niche websites in a few different target areas -- photography equipment reviews (taking my 20 years of experience), diet & exercise for men, and a couple of sites focused around my daughters' interests that I hope we can work on together as a father-daughter project. I didn't know how to code, how to design a site, put it on a server or write an e-book. However, in the past 30 days, -- I downloaded a trial copy of Dreamweaver to create HTML sites as well as templates so that I could update my sites easily -- learned how to create Wordpress blogs and went live with a couple of those -- learned how to host my own sites on my own virtual dedicated server (thereby saving myself a ton of money in hosting fees) -- learned cPanel -- taught myself how to install a MySQL database -- wrote some basic articles for my sites and uploaded those -- joined Adsense and created ads for each of my sites -- created an Amazon Associates account and populated one site with that -- joined Clickbank and found some affiliate products to market for the men's site -- joined all the major affiliate marketing programs -- contacted a leading vendor in the photography industry who has their own affiliate program and got on board with them -- started studying Ken McCarthy's copywriting program so that I can create landing pages and sales copy for my products -- started writing the first draft of my first e-book product, about 75% complete -- and a million other tiny things! LOL I am proud of what I've accomplished in the past 30 days, but I realize I'm probably working way too hard and not doing the few things over & over & over that I NEED to be doing to make A LIVING. Honestly, I can't afford your mentoring program. But I hope you review my situation -- I absolutely must make this work, and I will do whatever it takes to succeed in my online business. Thank you for your consideration. Whether or not you choose me for a scholarship, I sincerely appreciate the opportunity, as well as the knowledge I've already gained from the free content you provided. Best, John
Hello Eben, Thank you for this inspiring challenge. I decided to use it as a "deadline" to keep me laser-focused, so that I could achieve some real progress. And it worked!!! WHERE I WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CHALLENGE: 1) I recently woke up a small newsletter list and want to rebuild my relationship with them. 2) I've done some affiliate marketing, but have mostly given information away through my blog and newsletter, enjoying the luxury of writing whatever I feel moved to. 3) I have an information "giveness," which I want to turn into an information BUSINESS! 4) I've wanted to create my own infoproduct for awhile, but have gotten stuck in idea overload (I have a million of them) and overwhelm (trying to juggle so many things at once that my time, focus, and energy get scattered, decreasing my effectiveness). 5) My time management has been haphazard. WHICH OF YOUR TEACHINGS I CHOSE TO APPLY: 1) I found my "why," made it specific and real, and kept it constantly in front of me (literally--I placed cards with my "why" on them all over the house). 2) I took your naming advice to heart, and brainstormed a more compelling product title. 3) I used your 60/60/30 time management strategy to help me focus on laying the foundation for MY FIRST infoproduct . 4) With the contest lasting only a few days, I knew I wouldn't have time to coach 100 people to find out what my market wants and needs, as you suggested, so I created an "ask campaign" asking my readers to share their biggest question, challenge, or concern related to three specific aspects of writing and creativity. THE SUCCESSES I'VE HAD WITH YOUR STRATEGIES: TITLE. My original product title was "Making Peace With the Writing Process. The new title is: "Unleash Your Writing Genius." PRODUCTIVITY: Your 60/60/30 formula is absolutely amazing! One day, I worked from 7 am. to 10 pm. not only completing my survey and newsletter (I didn't want to ask my list to do something for me without giving them plenty of value in return both before [the newsletter] and after [offering the product for free to the first 5 who responded, as well as for the most compelling questions submitted]), but felt relaxed and well rested throughout the day. It also helped me to Focus and Finish more easily!! This is very counter-intuitive, because you think that in order to stay focused and productive you need to focus not only with intent, but with intensity. Yet the truth of the matter is that a relaxed, yet focused attention helps you get more done, not less. Every time I did your 60/60/30, I got more done, more easily and felt better doing it. FINDING OUT WHAT MY MARKET WANTS. As I have such a small list, right now, I decided to focus the last 24 hours exclusively on sending people to my ask campaign in other ways. My goal was to get big numbers. While I did collect 38 questions/challenges (a smaller number than I would have wished, but wonderful, helpful questions), the lessons I learned exceeded my expectations by miles. I discovered how much fun it is to stretch, to be excited by a deadline instead of dreading it, to get creative and try some off the wall avenues of connection, to see what I can do in 24 hours if I really stay focused and moving forward with action. On Twitter.com the posts go by so quickly that I decided to have a 24 hour countdown, which would give me a reason to post a new "tweet" every hour. "23 hours to go..." "22 hours to go..." It was fun. I posted a reply to an article on Mercola.com, which is not a writing market, but I weaved my writing and work life (with ask campaign link) into the substance of the response I gave, and thousands of people have read that article since I responded. I also wrote substantive posts to some groups that I haven't posted to in a while, including a list with 9,000 writers on it. I received 7 questions on the first day, and 31 in the last 24 hours (and I'm hoping more responses will come in the next couple of days). Quite frankly, this lets me know I need to strengthen my "offer," but it was a good beginning and there were several things I didn't have time to do, such as posting on forums, that will be well served by what I've learned. Besides the practicalities of what it takes to get market feedback, the responses themselves were a revelation. One of the reasons I haven't got my own product, yet, is that I keep second guessing myself about what should go in it. After reading the responses, I realized that they helped me in several ways. They helped me to pinpoint not only the most common problems, but the most pressing problems. This will definitely help me narrow my focus. And on top of that, these questions brought up things that I never would have thought of on my own. This actually makes me feel much more relaxed, because I realize that I don't have to cover every possible scenario, I only have to cover what I know and what my market tells me. While I've heard that 100 times from internet marketers, the words can't compare to the actually experience of it. Whatever your final decision, this contest has taught me a lot and I thank you.

Dear Eban, I have a new visual training method that utilizes mindmaps for passing the Life Insurance exam. It is the beginning of a new series of financial services publications that will include the Series 6, 63, 24, etc. Last month I started the marketing and have been helped immensely by your video that about the newsletter recommendations. Last night I made a presentation to a brokerage firm that just loved the book. So many of their people have trouble passing the exam they look forward to getting the new product out to everyone who needs it nationally. At the end of the event the owner of the firm came up asking me for all the flyers I had which was an incredible complement. I have sent the flyer as a pdf attachment to the email you sent so that you can look at it. I sold three books last night, which doesn't sound like a lot, but the implications to such support from a very tight networked national company, is fantastic. Your information helped me create a comprehensive, gutsy ad piece that connected with their need, offered a solution, described its value, and inspired response. Thank you, Elleyne Kase
I'm always multi-tasking trying to run my 6-figure business and take advantage of all the great information available to grow my business at the same time! But I'm so busy running it that I don't have a lot of time to spend watching videos. My business still requires long hours and can be overwhelming at times. But then I saw an email that led me to your video on time management. And I was stunned by what you said. Work in two-hour shifts, take breaks, give yourself the first hour of the morning (which I did this morning),and renew yourself. (How did you know that was just what I needed to hear?!) So last night I sat down and listened to some of the other videos. I practically had to sit on my hands to keep me from multi-tasking But I did it! (So I believe this means I am coachable!) I'm getting ready to implement your 15-minute free-session strategy. I've done it before but I had never had as much clarity on the details as you gave in your video. I feel very confident that this time it will work. The truth is that I've spent thousands of dollars on line in the past 3 years and done better than most. But I've maxed out credit cards and took a small business loan I now wish I hadn't taken. So I would love to win a scholarship with you. You might be wondering why I waited til the last minute to submit this. I'm in the middle of a launch and I have been writing emails for my affiliates to send out. And then, oh yeah, I went and took a walk on the beach! Thank you for all this great content! It works when you work it!
Hi Eben! After waiting for almost a day now, I have yet to see my comment being posted...so I have to post again to make sure my entry gets in.... Similarly to Harry Catrell, I got to know you after reading one of Mike Dillard's emails 2 weeks ago on the 13th May, if I did not remember wrongly. I have been collecting Dillard's emails but only recently got the time to read through his great materials and come across your name after finishing my 1st year university exams. The first video I watch was "How to create a psychic salesletter" at http://www.gurumastermind.com/CD48/program/signup_psychic.asp and I was immediately hooked by your professional and great presentation skills. After watching that video I WAS STUNNED. I have been learning internet marketing for slightly over 2 years now and have came across the idea of giving stuff away for free such as reports/ebooks so that I can sell higher ticket items at the back end. Your "How to create a psychic salesletter" video however, introduced me to a more powerful concept which blew away what I learned so far. In your words it is... "Change your mindset to letting your customer FEEL, EXPERIENCE what it is like to learn from you, rather than talking to someone to buying my stuff." You taught me a concept which I could feel the impact immediately upon hearing all those words, and what you presented with your Psychic Salesletter 2.0 software really impressed me, and I immediately downloaded it and spent the next 2 days building up a salesletter which could create a customized report for my prospects to join my list. WHAT YOU TAUGHT IS SO POWERFUL Eben...I could just imagine how I could connect with my prospects by identifying their problems and frustrations and offer solutions right there and then. Unfortunately I couldn't get the software to work for me, but the salesletter I created is still a GREAT practice session. I NEVER thought about the idea of creating a customized report for my prospects upfront until you show it to me! You can take a look what I have originally prepared to use with the software here. http://www.onlinemlmsystem.com/upload/SalesLetter.doc "Move the freeline", and "WHERE TO GET TRAFFIC...People who ask this question think of their customers in MASS, not as individuals with unique needs, fears, experience"...those were another powerful concepts you shared with me, and they were really AWESOME. Your video also influenced me to keep my sales letter simple and tight, which you can see here. http://www.OnlineMLMSystem.com I was in the midst of creating a MySpace page to promote myself when I saw your video, and your "Change your mindset to letting your customer FEEL, EXPERIENCE what it is like to learn from you, rather than talking to someone to buying my stuff." really influenced the design of my profile page. Combining with what I learned from you and another successful online network marketer, I proceed to introduce myself quickly and started to GIVE and SHARE my important lessons and tips which my prospects can use IMMEDIATELY, to let my prospects learn what is it like to learn from me and build their businesses with me. You can take a look at my profile here. http://us.myspace.com/thienkaiwei That same concept also influenced me to look through my own email autoresponder follow-ups to make sure that I am giving the best and most valuable information which can solve some of my prospect's problems immediately. I'm however still in the process of making improvements. Of course I signed up to your list immediately after that, and proceed to hunt for more information about you on Google before I came across GuruMasterMindVideoBlog.com just last Wednesday, and of course I started devouring the videos there, though I covered only about 5 videos, including the video of the psychic salesletter. I couldn't finish watching all the videos, so I choose to watch "Financial Freedom" videos and learned about the 7 steps. At my current stage, I concentrate on Steps 1 to 3 to implement how I'm going to "Move the free line", "Build Relationships" and "Convert Sales" through "creating great content which is a BETTER MARKETER than most MARKETING". I'm in the process of reading through forums to research on my prospect's pains and frustrations, and writing a eBook which I intend to release for free. For the last 2 weeks after watching your Psychic Salesletter video I realized that there is SO MUCH MUCH MORE that anyone can learn from you, and I REALLY REALLY WANT to be one of the 3 lucky people to receive the Platinum Scholarships. You can see how I'm been integrating your teachings into my business right here through a mindmap I'm using to keep track of my thoughts. http://onlinemlmsystem.com/upload/ActionMap.zip (do note that you have to click on the bubbles to fully expand the content inside.) I have to trouble you to download the free opensource mindmapping software here. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7118&package_id=188772 It's very small in size and will be quick to install, I found it VERY useful in organizing my thoughts and its free too. I recommend anyone reading this to check out Freemind. It's really useful for planning your business. I have been building this map and my business around it for the last 4 weeks or so, and your videos REALLY taught me a lot and gave me ideas how to improve my business and systems for my prospects and downlines, allowing me to contribute so much to my prospects' lives, and I can't imagine the tremendous amount of value I can give them if I can be one of the lucky 3. That's all from me, THANKS Eben FOR SHARING THESE POWERFUL VIDEOS. I sincerely hope to be one of the winners...there is so MUCH i can learn from you and I wish everyone else best of luck in getting the scholarships and learning from you Eben. Thanks and best regards, Thien Kai Wei
Hello Eban Congratulations on moving the bar once again, I cant help but think that some of your fellow infopreneurs have got to be a little miffed. I think it's great in a way I see you as an inovator / crussader who's actions make other marketers either deliver or get out of the way and a voice for all the people who have tried and are sick of being promised a lot and under delivered. I know, I was one of those so much so that I unsubscribed from everything and only recently started back onto the marketing scene, and so I have to confess that I didn't even use my primary e-mail and name because I didn't know who you were. But here I am a Eban Pagan hardcore fan and as one of Bill Phillips contest winners said to Bill your bad ass". diddo" Well enough about that and what I hope will be a decideing factor in your selection process. If I was to point out one of the biggest lessons - points it would have to be that I see the larger picture a clear road map. And probably most important somebody who not only has done it but is willing to share his success with others. Finally transparancey on the internet, and I dont think it's just for the money, a great legacy. I guess what I'm getting at is that I'm seeing a template for a successful case study from the top down, I know how Yanik feels because you've impressed me also and that's pretty "rare" Lessons / implementations! The first thing and most important is the shift in mindset since it all begins in mind, and mine has been in the wrong place for to long now. Why I could use not only this scholarship but the opportunity to meet and work with you and your team, it would surround me with the wright kind of people and mindset. I have implemented and started several succesful businesses all from scratch and all on my own, which is part of the problem I never had that great support/ team you talk about. And so the team building lesson was a great one and one I hope to be implementing soon. Another was the prioritiseing 80/20 rule! delegating- roadmaps- timelines and implementation I put in place Domain,Clickbank,Paypal,Wordpress blog,Host,Outsource person,Cards,Business plan overview, Marketing plan overview!

Eben, I had the great fortune to meet you at Frank's Mass Control in San Diego last month. As you were waiting for your car, I was brave enough to come up to you and point out what you were saying up there at Kern's conference really struck a chord with me. I mentioned that I was working in healthcare an that for some reason it is not the best place to work in, much like education, healthcare needs a serious overhaul. (Talk about 2 markets ripe for opportunity.) As you got in to your car, you shook my hand asked my name and gave this little piece of advice: "Stars, Julian find Stars." Then you drove off into the San Diego night. I have yet to make a single cent from any of the advice you have given us so far. But the more and more I watch what you are covering in your pre-launch the more I see that to you this is not about making money. Its about something bigger than money, its about how each of us has the potential to be a "STAR", some like myself need more polishing than others, but you have planted a seed, and it is up to each of us to learn to water and nurture this seed and allow it to blossom into the type of person that others enjoy working with and getting to know personally. I have yet to find any stars, and the reason is, If I am to find stars, I need to first be a star myself. I need to learn and identify the skills in others in order to eventually spot, interview and retain quality stars. At any rate I want to thank you for planting what I like to call, or maybe I stole this from you or Frank, "The Seeds of Domination". The seeds being: 1. Always Take Action: even if the results are not what you desired, there is always a lesson to be learned from any venture. 2. We as men Men Are Not Islands: success is not something one can achieve on our own. In order to achieve any level of success you will need to work well and effectively with others. 3. Your legacy is what matters most: any wealth or material gain you may get along the way, means nothing without having the peace of mind that comes from finding your true self. Thanks for putting all the hard work into this group I wish you the best as you go Live! Cheers Julian Wells
Hey Eben, I wanted to thank you sincerely for the great, valuable information you've put together to pre-launch the Guru MasterMind. I am a great fan of the high ethical standards you promote and live by. You not only succeed in your niche, but also in building an ethical business operation -- something I hope to learn from as I'm building my business. Everyone's story has many details and can be long to post on a blog. I thought it might be easier to tell you my story, my actions, and my results to date in a video -- I've posted it on my website at http://www.FarrisCommunications.com/GuruMasterMindAppl.htm Again, I wanted to thank you, Eben, for the challenge and the opportunity to vie for a scholarship-supported spot in the Guru MasterMind. I'd love to be selected, but I feel I've already learned valuable lessons in building my business in my efforts. Again, thank you. -- Mic
Hi Eben, I have only recently come across your videos and wanted to apply for your Guru Mastermind Scholarship program. First of all, i just want to thank you for putting together these very educational free videos which are worth several thousand dollars themselves. I've been thinking about launching a new product for awhile now, but wasn't sure how to begin the process of getting any pre-launch buzz for it. Even though I only started watching your videos over Memorial Day weekend, I decided to take fast and swift action. Speed of implementation is the best approach, right? : ) My prelaunch site is called www.BikiniAbsMakeover.com Taking your advice of building relationships and giving away the most valuable content that I possible could, in just over 24 hours, I took my video camera and one of my clients and filmed several workout videos. I took another one of my clients and interviewed her on her amazing success story where she lost over 100 pounds of fat. I got a hold of her before/after picture as well. And then I wrote a special report called the Top 12 Foods to Strip Away Belly Fat. So in just a little over a day, I put together some incredible free information that covered all 3 media - the written word, audio and videos. I created a squeeze page where visitors can listen to the success story and have to opt in to receive the workout videos and speical report. Putting the videos up on YouTube, I was able to drive enough traffic to the website to build a list of over 1200 very targeted potential customers in a little over 72 hours. I really wanted to thank you again for the incredible education and opportunity you are giving us and would welcome being a part of your amazing Mastermind team. Very Sincerely, Scott Colby
So far Eban, I have found your materials to be very useful in moving my information marketing business to fruition. I found your Blueprint for Successful Information business particularly useful. I have been in the health and wellness industry now for over 20 years working with physicians to provide corrective/post-rehabilitative programs and therapies for their patients. My long-term goal is to work towards promoting preventative wellness within the medical industry. My business does this through educational programs for physicians and their patients, and to corporations. I have long had an interest in the information product business and have just written 61 pages of my eBook which will be ready for publication within 3 weeks. This eBook will be marketed with a set of DVDs and CDs discussing proper nutrition and exercise and will be marketed through physicians, their websites, as well as through my business website. Many of the affiliations have been recently forged with the Free Line approach to product marketing.
Many people left some amazing stories about how they implemented your tips and strategies ... I cannot out-do or out-amaze them with my non-experiences. Why should I be selected to receive a scholarship? I cannot answer that until I understand YOUR motivation in giving away a gift like that. Its as is someone were asked to receive a scholarship from a school, but didn't understand why the school was offering the scholarship in the first place ... Academic? Sports? Marketing tactic? Legislative mandate? My goal is to give others what they want, and thereby achieve some of my objectives as compensation, either directly or indirectly. I want to provide a number of information products to a number of select audiences, and would benefit from one on one guidance ... and I can offer YOU, Eben, the opportunity to expand your business (and fatten your bottom line) through my ultimate success ... as I can be a tireless promoter and advocate of individuals and businesses that are making a difference in the world. The bottom line? I'll be a diligent student, and you'll get a dynamic, inspired, energetic "poster boy" for your teaching organization! There it is, short & sweet!
sup dd. been listening and watching from the start (dyd book...C&F was an experience but a little too strong 4 my taste. Still a part of the repertoire though). Just heard about your guru mastermind and kudos 2 you for sharing more great knowledge...and cashing out on that too ;) To my dismay, I have no net success story as of yet. I am however going to tweak your system to help me become a net music success...if it's possible, so I figured i have to give the contest a try. Regardless, just wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate you. Take care and keep leading the way to net success! T
Hi Eban! I hope this video posts right to your blog. If this does not post right... go to http://probatesalechicago.com/blog to see why I'll rock the Casbah in the GuruMastermind Program! As you can see, I take action! My only missing puzzle piece is a mentor. Just do it! Sincerely, Matthew Detrick http://probatesalechicago.com/blog
Steve Searight Guru Mastermind Scholarship Request I am a marketing major at Mesa Community College (with plans to transfer to Arizona State University). My professional goal has always been to be an entrepreneur and own my own business. At age 23, I have already held a number of successful sales positions. I am currently employed by Integra Telecom while working on my degree. Recently, my father approached me to ask for help with some sales and marketing for an information product he has developed. He teaches an eight week online class in his field and offers the class from his website. His current website is primarily set up as an informational site, not an e-commerce site. My Father is interested in creating wider visibility and increasing sales through the internet. I became a little worried at the fact that I didn't know much about marketing. I was intrigued by the possibilities and began researching how other people we're doing this type of thing on the internet. In the process of exploring e-marketing and sales, I came upon the "Guru Mastermind" program. As a result of my research and seeking to apply the principles presented by Eben Pagan, I suggested my Father do the following things to get started with his goal: All of the following concepts and techniques I used for this marketing campaign are concepts and techniques that I learned from the Guru Mastermind video series and had no prior marketing experience. First, a well known professional in my father's field had asked him to participate in an online interview about the content of his class. I suggested to my Father that he make a "Frontend" offer (I learned from your video) of an mp3 download to anyone listening to the interview for $14.95. He promoted this as a $49.95 value (The Offer). The goal was to both harvest high quality leads and use the mp3 offer to "up sale" the class ($150 Backend Offer). I found resources to help my Father record the mp3 and then tracked down software to enable him to post a signup page on his website. This page linked to PayPal and allowed customers to purchase and download the mp3. All email responses were copied by hand into constant contact. I realize that the next important step is to implement an automated way to record these contacts. We didn't have a lot of time so we went with the simplest method in a pinch. After listeners contacted my father requesting the link to the download he sent them an email (again manually, rather than automated) with the link to the $14.95 download. The email also made them an "up sale offer" as well as later making them a "Backend Offer". The offer stated that anyone who signed up for his online class (information about the class was included, along with benefits and testimonials) by a specified date, would receive the mp3 download for free (Frontend Offer). Here is the result of the campaign: • Over 200 people contacted my Father seeking information about the download. • Another 450 people have signed up for his online newsletter at Constant Contact since the interview. • To date (just a couple of weeks since the interview was posted online), over 50% of the contacts have purchased the download. "The Frontend Technique" • The number of people accepting the offer of the free download with class registration resulted in $1,600.00 of additional class revenue. "The Backend Technique" • My Father is in the process of developing a CD series and an eBook that he will market to these and other high quality leads. "The Backend Technique" My Father is now sold on the benefits of developing an e-marketing presence. He has asked me to take charge of making this happen for him. So in a sense, I am going to school on him. Again, the only marketing training I have received as a result of this success is from watching just a few of your video courses!! I have never been so excited. As I stated, I've always wanted to own my own business, but until now, I've always worked for someone else. I see online marketing and sales of information products as the perfect way for me to pursue and attain my goals. Since I started researching this field, it is all I think about. I can't wait to get home form my day job to do more research on the web on how to make all this work. I spent two days over Memorial Day weekend sitting next to the pool with my laptop doing research (what a job!) My goal is to help my Father succeed at online marketing and sales and use what I learn from your courses to build my own consultation company. The more I learn about online marketing and the sale of information products, the more I realize how much I have yet to learn. I want to take the most direct route to success. I don't want to reinvent the wheel and waste time and money trying to figure this out on my own. I want to learn from the best. Being able to participate in the Guru Mastermind training course will not only help me reach my personal and professional goals, it will allow me to make a difference in the world by helping people who have something valuable to say find the broadest possible audience. Win, win! Since I am a student, working and paying my way through school, I would need to receive a scholarship to participate in the Guru Mastermind program. I know this program offers the best and most direct path to where I want to go. I am motivated and ready.
Hi Eben I want to start out by thanking you for all of the information you have been putting out in recent days. It is very generous of you and has helped me(a complete internet newbie at age 59) begin to understand how I can be successful in an on-line business. Being a "newbie" I do not yet have a business up and running, however my wife is working on building a website as we speak.In watching your videos, the things that struck me most were 1) Carefully select your niche to help people solve a SPECIFIC problem, while appealing to an EMOTIONAL NEED.And 2) Give a lot of value to your customers and your list. In other words, give away a massive amount of highly valuable information and content. My funds are very limited right now, so a scholarship to your GURU MASTERMIND PROGRAM would be much appreciated! Again, thank you for what you have already provided! I am 100% MOTIVATED and COMMITTED!....Thanks, Tom Prince
