OK – I’ve decided to copy and paste the top ten ideas I’m currently working with (you’ll recognize some from above).
A) which three, in order of importance, would most likely get you to click on the link at the end?
B) how would you make 1) 2) and 3) below even better?
Tks!
D
1) FREEDOM SCORE
What’s your Freedom Score? (show gold fish bowl packed)
How’s your Time Freedom? Do you work 6 days a week, or 1? (show time with family)
How’s your Location freedom – office? Or can you choose to work from home, or from a treehouse in Thailand? (cool pics)
How’s your financial freedom? Are your savings shooting up, or going backwards? If you take time off, does money still come in? (show gold coins)
And…how’s your Inner Freedom? Are you doing what you love? Making a difference to others?
Everyone’s got a freedom score – what’s yours?

2) WHO YOU ARE
woman called into boss’s office. He says we’ve had to adjust your paycheck this
month.
She looks worried and says “look, I know I took
three weeks off but I had the kids, and I was sick….”
He says “we doubled it. It’s not what you do anymore. We just like who you are” (serious, kind smile)
pan on stunned woman’s face (holding check in both hands, looking at it, him)
Get Paid For WHO YOU ARE
3) WILSON
In the kitchen woman calls out “Hunny have you seen Wilson?”
Next scene Wilson (yes the volleyball from the movie Cast Away staring Tom Hanks) is in a first class seat on an airplane with a hawiian belly dancing bobble head sitting next to him smiling. next he’s getting a humanitarian award. Next he’s speaking on stage, but not doing anything, and the audience is getting restless….He’s chilling on the beach with a laptop, he’s playing with the family (wife is a baseball, with little ping pong balls running around). Next Wilson possibly steaming with model in bed next to him. Someone asking for an autograph. Next scene Wilson pulling up in a limo to the house. Finally, Wilson on the front lawn. Boy walks out of the house picks up Wilson and yells “Here he is mom.”
Next scene black with words in white read “Wilson costar with Tom Hanks in hit movie Cast Away”
Have voice over say: “Get paid for who you are”.

4) NO PANTS (work from home)
David in video skype conference with board room full of serious suits on
other end. David dressed in a formal jacket and tie, maybe
pitching the idea of “getting paid for who you are.”
then, as the camera gradually pulls back we learn he is not wearing
pants.
the tag can credit technology for saving the economy by producing less
pants. maybe this is what you/the guy is pitching to the execs. his
argument is that we are being wasteful by producing so many pair of
pants in an age when we are only seen from the waist up. He stands to
show the execs he’s not wearing pants. from behind we only see his
bare ass. the execs see much more, evident by their repulsed reactions.
then the tag: get paid for who you are. work from home, make a difference
5) WORK FROM ANYWHERE
Guy on a conference call running a meeting – or a teleclass training people.
can only see his lips talking on phone, ear pieces
someone on call asks him to write something down and he hesitates…”ummmm….”
it pans out to him on a rock face, and he says…”ah, can you email me?”
“Thanks, now Bill – what’s your goal?” as he reaches up to a ledge…and camera pans back for
panaramic shot showing the scope
Work from home, Work from anywhere.

Wife looks over and smiles big grin lowers glasses to take a better look. Next shot of sons feet in flippers standing. Camera pans up full body shot of son.

10) DAVID’S STORY
– you’ve seen 4HWW, Crush It, now comes GET PAID FOR…!
– (the following David footage is staggered throughout, broken up by cool clips)
“I sometimes wonder if I’m allowed to have it this good. I get to blab blah blah. I was working for a XXX, doing XXX. I wanted to help people. I wanted to choose my hours, work from home, or a tree house in Thailand (show river clip). I wanted more financial security, to know if I lost my job I’d still have an income. But I didn’t know how to do any of that. And that’s when I discovered the Five Freedom Steps.
For years people have been asking me how I did it, and now that things are so good, I want to share it. I’ve taught this at Colombia University, and to audiences of over 1,000. And now, there’s the book.
Here’s a new book to up your freedom score – It’s time to Get Paid…
It’s time to Get Paid…For Who You Are.
A) which three, in order of importance, would most likely get you to click on the link at the end?
