A brand-new shiny blog?? With assembly-line-fresh new-car smell?? How could I resist? I couldn’t!
My vision? That’s harder. A flourishing freelance writing/editing business that helps nonprofits do their wonderful things and that allows me to support myself, play, do all my crazy activities, and continue living this wonderful life. And that keeps my gatos living in high style … y’know, fleece blankets and the occasional wet catfood.
Oh – and how much do I *love* Freedom Ninja? Lovelove.

April 17th, 2010 at 12:38 am
I have been following you since 2002 and participated in your R&D when I found you after I made a decision to become a Life Coach. You are a class act and I admire you in all I have seen you do over the years. Finally the book arrived and I cannot put it down. I decided to read it first and then use it to move my life forward chronic pain and all. Seven days to a successful web site is in progress and I will say my ability to help people through out the world build healthy, happy lives is most important to me but earning a living is also important. I was shocked you are giving away your book but then again I am starting to understand how you think. I like it! I also know it is going to make a big difference in my life as well as those I sent the book out to. Love the charities. Rainforest my choice and favorite. Thank you so much, keep moving ahead. I count on you sometimes to motivate me. You did it ! So will I.
April 17th, 2010 at 12:39 am
Looking forward to using the info. I read to create a successful, honest, profitable home business that will not only benefit me but others as well. If what I am going to read, when applied, turns out to be profitable you can count on a generous donation coming from me. Just think, something given for free really can reap great rewards!!! Looking forward to future communications!

April 17th, 2010 at 12:48 am
i guess the prob is selecting a blog that fits say in the top ten popular blog types and whipping it into action.the book reads great.and ill second read it right away.
April 17th, 2010 at 12:48 am
Thanks for the book! I’m about 1/2 way through. I’m really excited about creating my own e-book and I totally appreciate the support.
So, what do I want? Really? Where do I start. First, I want more people then I ever dreamed possible tuning into my website, CreateYourHealth.com, so that I can empower them with choices for healing outside of pharmaceutical drugs and surgery. Second, I want the site to be hugely profitable so I can help even more people, spin off a couple of network TV shows, and help every one of my practitioners with their own e-book. Third, I’d like to go on a vacation to Morocco, Turkey, Spain, and Italy…Greece wouldn’t be so bad either.
So, that’s my vision for the future; health, wealth, and abundance for everyone I come in contact with.
Thanks for leading the way.

Hi David
You’ve done a lot in the past years. I remember a few years ago when you were starting to get visible. Surely you have worked hard enough to deserve your success.
The book is great! Easy to read and understand.
I do have a problem though. You say one MUST send out newsletters. Well, I hate getting newsletters from a lot of sites that I gave my e-mail to. I just hate it and normally delete them as soon as I get them. I am sure they are very interesting, but having my inbox invaded a gazillion times a day from people who have figured out the same strategy as you gets annoying in the end. I hope there is some other way to get success.
Apparently not, because I wrote a book myself, called “How to multiply your writing income” a few years ago with a lot of the same suggestions that you have, but nobody bought it. Probably because I never invaded anyone with newsletters. I blew the dust of it a couple of weeks ago, in order to try and sell it again. I have adverticed it on Google adwords and Facebook, but not a single sale… believe it or not. Even if I give away another book I wrote for free so people can see what kind of writer I am. This book is about achieving your wildest and hairyest dreams… hah. Nobody interested in that either.
No, I tell you, I have struggled for many, many years now, and I have never made it online. Yet, I do in fact live my dream life in the Bahamas, happy as a dolphin, broke as a beggar, but still enjoying life. Simple life is good life. So don’t feel too sorry for my repeated failures… ha ha. I don’t.
I wish you continued great luck!!!!
April 17th, 2010 at 12:58 am
Hi,
Here’s what I’m looking for in 12 months:
1)being healed and knowing how to heal myself AND OTHERS
2)being paid to brainstorm. I’m very creative with ideas.. and maybe it would be a good idea to be paid for them and let others see them through
3)peace every morning, and being able to spread it
Thanks

I am hoping to be a part of a Christian music outreach ministry. I’m a Rock guitarist. I play in a Neo-Classical style (think,”Cliffs of Dover, by Eric Johnson). I am a singer, as well. I have a song out on iTunes, and I hope to release another one soon. Would love to meet other Christian musicians with a passion for reaching the lost with God’s message of love and hope, through faith in Jesus.
April 17th, 2010 at 1:06 am
Thank you very much for this book David. I have already started to peel through it and get my creative juices flowing.
- What do ~you~ want?
First and foremost I want to wake up every morning and enjoy what I do to get paid. I want to love what I do for a living. I want to share my life with someone who supports me and I support them. I want to be able to help other people create their best lives.
- What does your life look like 12 months from now, with your new venture flourishing?
I am able to do what/wherever I want on a day-to-day basis. Knowing that I am helping people will be an awesome joy. I don’t need all the money in the world, but I have the money to get what I want out of life, and have a ton of fun doing it.
-What’s your vision for your future?
My vision for the future is a bright one indeed. Seeing and hearing the impact I make in other people’s lives will fuel me, and push me to help more.
I see many great things forming, and it starts with taking action. I am ready to take that action!
April 17th, 2010 at 1:07 am
I want to have my own marketing/hr solution services/credit card processing service company. These are some critical elements for small businesses and I want to provide them all. I am also licensed to sell insurance and investments.
If I can take these things and create a diversified offering for small businesses, is my dream.

Thanks for a great book, I’ve been waiting for it since I heard about “wealthy gypsy” last year! Very powerful! You inspired me to take more direct action to get my ideas going!
1. Finishing a half-ironman race!
2. Traveling to Himalayas (Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet) and Florence
3. Being Chief Ideas officer of my own company and helping others achieve their dreams
April 17th, 2010 at 1:16 am
I’m glad you keep bugging me, David!
Still wondering: What is it all about? Where am I in this whole concept?
Anyhow – here’s my picture:
I want to travel and enjoy little things such as going to the restaurant and exploring the beauties of the nature. And for that I want to have good financial base.
My life 12 months from now – sunny spring with blooming trees and me breathing in the fresh air, sharing and carefree. I work 4-5 days a week, have full practice and I have time for all my hobbies. And my own house.
Anyone wants to come over for a nice dinner 12 months from now?
April 17th, 2010 at 1:16 am
David,
First of all, I want to say THANK YOU! I love what you’re doing.
I want:
A five bedroom house with separate nanny’s quarters, a modern kitchen and a huge front porch.
A published book that raises consciousness, and teaches my tribe to more authentic heart-centered lives.
Financial and time freedom to travel or live abroad at least two months a year.
To all of our dreams coming true,

This book is right on time David and of the highest qualify. I just completed Marcia Weider’s 90 Days to Transform Your Life Course and I now have a new purpose and some great dreams.
Within one year I will be a very successful certified Dream Coach and on my way to being a coach at Dream University. I will be teaching the Teen Dream Coach program to my foster and probation youth clients.
Thank you for this book David. You are the first coach whose materials I downloaded and read when I decided to transform from a therapist to a life coach.

Hi David,
I remember you from the Brendon Burchard seminar last May.
I’m creating the “Not Without My Dog” Resource and Record Book, the book that I’ve always wanted for my dogs, to help others learn how to keep their dogs safe and enjoy their dogs more. I’ve found a way to make this book entirely in the U.S.A.! This is a step in the direction of fulfilling my purpose, sharing what I learned doing animal rescue after Hurricane Katrina, being self-employed, working from home, working with animals more, and helping create local jobs. Check it out at http://www.8StateKate.net. You can also see the book trailer video at http://tinyurl.com/ydllqn6 and look inside the book at http://www.8statekate.net/wordpress/?page_id=1542.
I’m still waiting for your book, and I’m sure it’s en route.

Hi David,
you say that not to send too many newsletters is paramount, yet you DO the exact same opposite.
There is nothing wrong with making money, yet you use the same hype–good life marketing techniques they’ve used to make millions for selling The Secret.
This is an aggressive Hook Line and Sinker kind of marketing…smart stuff, but is it really the direction in which the world needs to go? I really don’t think so!
Best Regards
April 17th, 2010 at 1:21 am
Your book fascinated me. But it took me a few days to print it off…ran out of ink etc.
So have read only about 25% of it. Benefit: so far….I got motivated to have a ‘buddy’ join me, and together get our ‘on line’ business rolling….and enjoy the roll together. Thanks for warming my heart and putting steam in my step.
April 17th, 2010 at 1:23 am
I want a life where I’m financially free and an effective personal coach.

David,
This new book of yours has reignited my desire to push forward to create a coaching business. Here’s my plan:
-Start and internet coaching business to help professional athletes live error-free lives while playing the game of love.
-Get this business up and running on the internet within the next 21 days, by following the suggested guidelines in your book.
-I need help with how this site can be created for maximum SEO, as I don’t want to be wasting time due to not having this component properly and strategically managed BEFORE the site is launched.
-I want this coaching business to be my primary source of income by the end of 2013, so I can quit my day job.
Thanks.

Just started to read the book. Looks good my plan for 12 monthsfromnow is to have a better than active M.A school and by the looks of it this book may be the tool that I need to get me on the road there
April 17th, 2010 at 1:40 am
I think you are right; momentum is key. Here is my three:
1)A fulfilling job located OUT in the WORLD
2)Understanding and following my path, which I know will lead me OUT in the WORLD
3)Taking my daughter OUT (you got it) in the WORLD, to show her what I love.
many thanks and blessings to you, David!

April 17th, 2010 at 1:46 am
Yes, I have begun to read the book! It is touching something in me that none of the other materials I am using on the Internet have touched.
In 12 months I see myself debt-free and teaching others how to do the same. How to get paid for who THEY are. I’ve been doing much inner work that confirms to me it will be even as I see it. Speaking, motivating others, living and traveling independently with my life partner. It’s a very exciting picture for me and I am fulfilled in it!
Thanks for the book David.
April 17th, 2010 at 1:47 am
Hello David!
Thank you for the book. I love the name! “Get paid for who I am!!” that is a very new , life changing concept to me.
1) Feeling safe and proud for sharing my true essence with the world.
2) Deeply appreciate and share financial fortune that was giving to me.
3) Calmly Watch Best coaches in the world train my sons and me for Olympics and comfortably dine in fancy yacht club after day of hard work with my husband and friends.
Life is fluent and beautiful – I am letting it happen !!
Cheers to you too, Irina
April 17th, 2010 at 1:47 am
Hi David,
Thanks for the book, I look forward to reading it. I love that you asked us to post where we will be in 12 months because, it gets us there! So, thank you for asking.
I am in my, first time purchased by myself, home. I am guiding classes. I have a successful website where my ideas will manifest as they come to me. I am traveling regularly and I am seeing (dating) someone amazingly right for me.
I am collaborating with amazing people who i have so much in common with and who share with me the desire to see our world come together and evolve to a new paradigm. Manifesting new ways to teach and learn, changing our use of language, discovering new ways to develop in green ways, doing away with chemicals that us us people animals, earth and all~
I love what you are doing, thank you for your contributions, for leading and inspiring~
Namaste’~

April 17th, 2010 at 1:49 am
Thanks for the book David, came just exactly when I needed it!
1.) To marry the amazing woman who has only recently come in to my life, she is the one!
2.)Explode my fledgling business into the stratosphere so that I can provide for every one of my family members.Have a large enough income from it to buy what I want when I want, and do the same for any family member or friend.To give to charity and church in sums to make major differences quickly
3.) Watch as my prosperity overflows and creates prosperity for my friends,colleagues and peers. Watch as they tell others of opportunites available, if you only see and believe what has always been available for all “a life of abundance and opportunity and happiness”

Hi, David. The USPS hasn’t gotten this far, but I read several chapters during the edit. Thanks.
By this time next near, I’ll be retired from my full-time job, living off the income generated from web site(s) (and 401K and SS) and just setting off on a cross-the-country bicyle tour, with speaking engagements in all the major stops along the way, talking about my new book, which is already half-way finished! Yippee! I’ll be getting paid for who I am, and eveyone will be saying, “Who is that guy, anyway?”
Can’t wait til I have a hard copy of your book in my hands.

I am in India.
My life’s MISSION is to popularize Functional Preventive Medicinal Clinics, Nutritious Raw , Organic & Vegan food restuarants, Fitness & Spa centers , Nutraceuticals and health food stores in the cities at low margins and parallely do the same in the villages at zero margins. India lives in its villages.
In doing so, I will also be a catalyst in growing three supporting industries – organic farming, advanced diagnostics testing laboratories and nutraceuticals companies.
All these things is a fallout of my VISION and the government’s to provide education, medical care and employment to the people of India. The three areas left out what the govt. does and we don’t intent to do- infra-structure, protection & justice and tax collection
).
I will use the money made by my other business to support my above projects and not depend on charity or donations.
That is my MISSION and VISION of my life.

Dear David,
Read you most of your book and had to put it down for now.
My goal in 12 months or less, grow the company from 0 to millions so that I can take time and become a life coach or devote my remaining life to helping others and giving back…nothing more. My life is encapsulated in this goal.

Book has not arrived yet, but expect it any day now. Ten years from now I will be too old to see or hear, but I plan to have my art speak to others of hope and joy. I also will have published some books on growing up during the Great Depression (They will be needing it with the economy soon to be.) as well as writings about unsung heroes who quietly made a difference in their world. Will let you know how I view the book when I can read it.
April 17th, 2010 at 1:59 am
David,
Thanks for the book. I finished it within the first few hours of downloading. This gift came just in time because just a few weeks ago I decided to really invest the time to redesign my website for my Green consulting services. I am going to follow the instructions in the book to a T so that I will have all 4 freedom before long!
Thanks again!

I’m currently a returning college student, finishing my prerequisites for medical school. In twelve years, I will be a certified Yoga instructor in radiant physical health. I will have completed the MCAT scoring over 32. I will have strengthened my interpersonal relationships with honesty and unconditional love. And I will have found a creative outlet for my artistic abilities that uplifts others while functioning as a source of income. Here;s to determination and positive thinking. Good luck to you all in all your endeavours.
Peace,

I was up reading the book at 3:00 am. I finally printed it out. I have the entire book almost all in yellow from highlighting it. I set the intention last week asking my higher power to show me how to do social network marketing and you came. Thanks to John Assaraf
12 months from now….
our company will be a multimillion dollar business, our book a best seller with New York Times and we will be empowering 10,000 women globally with our CD’s and services.
Thank you

Thank you David for the wonderful book “GET PAID FOR WHO YOU ARE”. Yes,I got great hints from the book. I have a passion to browse internet. I am a mechanical Engineer. I am planning to set up my own spareparts store and help the industries to improve their productivity in Bhutan. Now I am unemployed because I resigned from the service to do something different to achieve someting different in life, but looks it is not so easy as I had thought of. I aspire to make a sum of $50,000 by the end of this year. I want to get distributorship for 3 major fast moving spares of industries, buy condition monitoring equipments within June 2010. I want to own an expensive car for myself and buy a flat by 2011.
April 17th, 2010 at 2:05 am
Thanks David, I’ve only just begun reading. I would like to shift my yoga teaching career from subsistance to prosperity, to bring Joyflow to more people. My particular niche is combining Yoga and Enneagram; I am passionately creating great book sales and workshops in beautiful places wordwide.

I want to write my Life History. Mostly for myself and my family but who knows?
Just have to get my time schedule sorted.I can do it!
April 17th, 2010 at 2:10 am
1. Life is good.
2. When I know I need to focus on my life objectives I know where to look.
3. I’m not a teacher today but maybe in my future.
April 17th, 2010 at 2:17 am
Downloaded the ebook, but opted not to get the hardcopy. Am on chapter 7 now. Your offer came to me at just the right time. Only one week before I had decided to start an internet-based business and your book is the tool to guide me toward that realization. It is awesome! I look forward to sharing my progress with everyone. Thank you, David! -John
April 17th, 2010 at 2:28 am
I haven’t made it all the way through the book yet. Seems very promising though.
1) I want to write and get paid for it
2) I’d like to make my crafitng hobby more profitable
3) I’d like to leave a journal and letters for my grandkids to read in later years when they’ll appreciate it. I want to be remembered as a loving and kind nana.
April 17th, 2010 at 2:29 am
Thank you so much for the book. It has inspired me in many ways!
I am now in the process of getting 3 internet businesses started. And your book has given me great ideas and resources to start even more in the near future.
I can’t wait to see what unfolds!
Thanks for the help David
April 17th, 2010 at 2:30 am
I just started the book. Although my business is one year old last month I haven’t done much in the way of growth for several reasons. But I’m glad I have the book to make use of all the material. I also received an email yesterday from my coaching school telling me about the book. I felt like I was in an elite group because I already had it.
Here are my three things…By next year I am hoping to have:
a nice comfortable business, whatever that means. I haven’t quite decided what that looks like but I know it includes not stressing over bills and finances.
I am also in the process of writing my own book/workbook on growth and goal attainment. I hope to have a full first draft by the end of summer (wish me luck) and to have it published by next year.
Finally, I want to be known. I want people to not just think of me but to believe in me and trust in what I can do to move them toward succes and empowerment in their lives.
So that’s my three things. I’m eager to finish the book and also to move things along. Thank you David for wanting to be a part of it.
April 17th, 2010 at 2:31 am
Hi David
So far, I have done little more than glance through the book, because I am rather full up on self-development material to work through at the moment! One reason why I bought it, though, is that I strongly (nay, fiercely!) relate to the idea that what I rather uniquely am is something I need to be paid for!
I am primarily a philosopher who never quite managed to get permanent work teaching and researching in that area. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that the world needs the understandings I have developed over the last 30 plus years, and that I need to be free to teach and research full time. This has shaped my vision of what I am aiming at, viz:
- A research institute that I direct, teaching, writing and lecturing.
- Books setting out my message to the world, starting with the forthcoming ‘Beyond Materialism’, about how ‘scientific materialism’ is flat out false and disastrous, and how we need to get beyond it.
Oh, and not so incidentally, a wonderful eco-friendly property in the Southern Highland of New South Wales, a wonderful kind, smart and gorgeous life partner, a daughter, and the ability to travel anywhere in the world whenever I want, do any course, workshop or treatment I see fit (I have several on my list already) and make the world noticeably better than I found it!
That will do for starters
April 17th, 2010 at 2:32 am
I am only on p. 37:)I’m taking it slow absorbing it, making sure I understand every bit. However, On the way there I thought of a friend I could contact to help me start up my site and show his work at the same time. That is if he’s still interested. I’ll get back to you on that. While talking with another friend, a kernel of an idea came to mind. I mean I’ve already got the basic tools to get started. At the top of the list: Certainly I truly desire financial freedom. I achieve that and my life is a vacation. As I’m not really doing anything with my Time. I have infinite time to work on This:) I desire to create a site with something for everyone. Even as i write this ideas abound:) ~Namaste~ See you out there Kiss:)
April 17th, 2010 at 2:41 am
Hi,
well I’m a busy single dad so I haven’t read the book but I’m busy getting a home busines started. It’s basically to get myself financial while I’m studying. However, my passion is indigenous peoples and their struggle/s. I think there is a lot of work to do and this is just a small step on my path to greater things…
At the moment my business is primarily focused on writing resumes for ex-service personnel to help them get out into the workforce. It’s just started but I can translate military skills into skills the public and private sectors crave!

David…
Thank you for the generous offer of the book. I have made it through the first two chapters. I look forward to finishing it over the weekend.
Since I have a son with special needs, I have a vision to create a passive income that will allow us to care for him at home and not worry about hime needing anything.
I have nearly completed a book and created an online personal trainer course. Your book has provided the road map I have been looking for. Thank you again.

Thanks David for offering the book to all of us for free. It is quite generous of you.
My vision for the next 12 months is:
- A thriving Martial Arts school teaching Tai Chi to wonderful, generous students who desire a change in their lives.
- Financial freedom for my family so we can live comfortably within our means and not want for the simple pleasures in life and a few luxuries as well.
- Quality time with my family and friends to enjoy life and it’s many pleasures.
I’m not one for material things as a whole, just things that can make my life, not easier, but less stressful. This is a start and I’m excited about the prospects and in reading your book.
Thanks again David.
April 17th, 2010 at 3:11 am

When I was 19 I decided I wanted to live my life for others, which I now have done for 38 years. I am a mother of 11 children now spread all around the world, and my husband and I are heading a foundation in Cebu, Philippines. We are running educational, dental and food programs as well as arranging internship for Danish students, who work in several institutions in Cebu for abandoned, abused. criminal and orphaned children. We started livelihood programs last year, and my dream is that these livelihood programs will “take off” so that we can help make life better for poor families who struggle to make ends meet and give a better future for their children. You can check out my blog: http://www.RiseAboveCebu.Wordpress.com – Thanks for coming into my life at this time. You’re God-sent.

For the first time in years I am excited about my future. I want a life of financial freedom so that I can spend more time with my wife and my two daughters. I have been in ministry for almost 20 years and I have a lot of dreams to help people. I can actually see those dreams coming to pass now. It’s time for me to start getting it done. I love to write, sing, and help others. Looking forward to the future feels good now. Better than it has in years!!
April 17th, 2010 at 3:23 am
I wanted to figure it how to start it.
I wanted to figure it how to manage it.
I want someone who can bring me in.
I am bored in my life right now.
I want something new.
I want something different,
something that will take me out of my comfort zone, something that will trigger my passion, something that i will be enjoying doing, something i want to push to the top and be very very successful and joyous…
I read the book for 45 pages.
I want somebody who can share the same ideas and passion with me.
I am an accountant, likes poems, wants interesting things.
I wish somebody can be a partner for a very exciting venture.
I wish the universe will make us meet, start that something and happily find our way to that success

David,
How can I just pick 3 items when my 2010 Goals that I made at the first of the year had 10 personal & 10 business goals (see http://thelifeofmisty.blogspot.com/2010/01/2010-goals-resolutions.html)? That sure will be a challenge.
1 – Build my business with at least one more client by year end, website done, P&P Manual in place, Mission Statement written, and 6 months business cushion set aside.
2 – Simplify, organize, cull, minimize, declutter, sell, use up, donate, prioritize, etc – in EVERY aspect of my life.
3 – to create and implement Balance in all areas of the wheel of life (spiritual, physicial, intellectual, family, social, career, and financial – each of these have goals within them).
I have downloaded but not read a bit of the book yet. I plan start it this weekend and will be anxious to give you feedback on my nuggets.
With Regards and Gratitude, Misty

I’m at a crossroads in my life. I toggle between graphic and web design vs. writing, which involves finishing the re-write of a novel I started many years ago as well as completing a second novel. It’s a love/hate relationship.
I have physical challenges that limit the time I can spend doing the things I must do in order to succeed.
Analogy: Being spun rapidly in a circle with a blindfold on my head, blindfold is removed, and I now have to decide in which direction to go…
April 17th, 2010 at 3:28 am
Thank you for making this book available.
My vision:
1. I am “part of the solution”: I have created a post retirement business that allows me to serve by working with parents/families to teach parenting strategies that support children to become responsible conscious citizens, meeting their full potential.
2. I am managing and joyfully earning enough money to meet my needs, and wants while being generous with others.
3. Through prayer, meditation, and emotional freedom practices I am living fully in a state of higher consciousness.
April 17th, 2010 at 3:29 am
Thanks for writing this book its very good.
April 17th, 2010 at 3:33 am
I have already read the book and gotten excited about the possibilities.
I already live my dream life… wonderful husband, beautiful house, fantastic kids, and enough money to buy all the things we need. I would love to add a few dollars to buy some of those things we “want”.
I plan to create a DIY package, with plans, photos and a video of the process. I couldn’t find anything like this when I was looking a year ago. Hopefully I will find a market.
I intend to have everything up and running in the next month. In 12 months I would like to have income and enough positive feedback to keep me creating more.
April 17th, 2010 at 3:37 am
You have given me the keys to that machine, the one I know that I already know how to get running… and now I can start it. Learning to go with my flow, simplify, and seeing what I know I can do GET DONE!
1) Creating a career where I help others in my situation with work and career, sharing every tip and trick that’s kept me working and can help them, too.
2) Creating a stream of people I can share information with and provide information to young people entering the job market.
3) Creating a lifestyle that allows me to be at home more with my family as we expand and grow and give back directly to the communities that support us.
Fantastic work David, Thank you!
April 17th, 2010 at 3:46 am
First, Thanks for the book.
Foundation first – I want to positive answer your donation request… but web page does not give access to American Express card….Is there a solution?
1.- What do ~you~ want?
I want an interesting life, always challenging me with what I can accomplish. Baby steps … first I need to decluter and simplify my present.
What’s your vision for your future?
I want to escape somehow from a weak health reality…be able to work for the real health service of humans and animals, do not have to worry about mony.
Bottom line- … It is cool.
April 17th, 2010 at 3:48 am
Hi David,
I loved your book! I read the entire thing in one setting, choose my Freedom Buddy, and am on my way to getting paid for who I am. What I appreciated most was the detailed how-to format you used. You made it impossible not to follow the action steps, since there is no excuse for not knowing what to do next. I know this book will change my life and my coaching. I’ve been a counselor for years, but just recently made the transition to coaching and got my certification. I feel that my horizons have expanded so much in the last 6 months, but reading your book to it to a whole new level. You helped me to accept things that I’ve been resisting about internet marketing and advertising, and to see the value behind those techniques. Thank you, and I wish the best of success and happiness.
Warmly,
Sylvie
April 17th, 2010 at 3:49 am
By October 2010 I will have in place everything I need to have my new affirmation art for children business ready to go. This will mean firstly having resolved my technical problem then having a clear mission statement – which at the moment is something along the lines of “create affirmation art for children which helps them increase their joy” learning how to do Word Press so I can have an easy to use web site, business cards, finding how to reach my niche market, learning how to write successful web site copy. Being on and comfortable with Social media and probably a 100 other things that will be created each time I learn something new. When I return from my fathers 90th birthday in England, in Nov, I will be able to ‘push the button’ and get the whole thing out into the world. While all this learning is happening I will be able to stay focused on playing with my art, be in gratitude, keep my heart open and continue to grow as a human being. With in six months of pushing the button I want it to generate a minimum of $6000 a month. Here’s to it!
April 17th, 2010 at 3:50 am
Hi, thanks for the book, hope to get it read today.
3 goals are 1:get the courage to believe
2: find a vision
3: achieve it
thanks again
April 17th, 2010 at 3:54 am
Thank you first of all for the book you have generously supplied. It’s really good!
Noticing Life and Looking For Things To Make Me Feel Good are just one of my passions. Everyone has their own outlet for all of the thoughts soaring through our mind space and my outlet is writing. I love my life and I love to notice the things in everyday life that make me happy, question, wonder, cry for joy,vsad and sometimes laugh out loud. An example would be; how the world looks and feels hanging upside down with a 5 year old on a playground bar; or why do snails seem to leave their trails across sidewalks in the morning so you almost step on them. You have to watch that you know. Anyhow, things such as these.
April 17th, 2010 at 4:03 am
The book is excellent and I realize that I am not ready for it yet.
I’ve had overwhelming challenges in this life and many of the solutions out there did not work for someone coming from where I have. I have perservered and listened to my intuition and have cleared out and let go of a lot. I know stuff. I know about being isolated and beaten down and then creating an authentic life. I know so much about it that in the future I will be able to share that with others. Then I’ll look at the book again.
April 17th, 2010 at 4:10 am
I did scan the whole book some interesting ideas some I heard a million times.
My vision is to help women to see what they can do and how much they are capable of doing by mentoring and coaching.. to build meaningful relationships that will last a lifetime.
April 17th, 2010 at 4:14 am
I look forward to a world in which we as humans stop thinking we are the Top Dog! To bring this about, I plan to continue educating myself, and then others. The key I believe is in getting people to see from a different perspective – e.g. if we look at things from an Earth’s biosphere perspective, we gain the peace that comes with knowing we’re all just part of a much larger whole. What we contribute whilst we’re alive can be a good force for change!
My particular interest is animal welfare. I DO want people to stop regarding non-human lifeforms as playthings.
Be well.

Hello everybody,
when I moved as an expat to Malaysia my life changed completely. I was looking for a new “identity” and thought it would be a good idea to help other expats to overcome the everyday challenges here. The life here is wonderful but very different. I wrote several detailed ebook reports (8 in german, 1 in english more to follow) about expat issues (cost of living, traffic, health care, education….) which took my several month. I build a website, a blog, a twitter account and finally an ebook website, all things I had no idea about 2 years ago. But o far no great success.
Hope with all your tips I will do better. Thanks!
April 17th, 2010 at 4:34 am
Interesting book. I have really enjoyed reading it. I am quite lucky that I am currently in a position where I love what I do. I am a triathlon coach who gets to play and train with amazing people each day who are reaching for their athletic goals and some peace of mind through exercise. I see myself in one year in Boston competing in the Boston marathon with my family there cheering me on. Keep reaching for your dreams!
April 17th, 2010 at 4:36 am
In a year I envision that I will have a few websites up with product offerings because I have so many ideas. I will easily be making $10k per month and my family’s financial burdens will be gone. We will still be living where we are so that my daughter can graduate, but we will be planning our move to wherever with the remaining children. I will continue to expand the businesses and their respective product offerings.

tonight mine is simple-it has been 2 years since i have spoken to my son…at 9 am MsT he will be 17. I ache for him…religious differences have sperated us….I want my son back
My 12 year old has been diagnosed with Aspberger’s-a form of the autism spectrum disorder….I am re learning how to be a mommy for him. takes time to undo my reactions to what I thought was just bad behavior.
lastly, I qould like to provide for my family. The last three months have left my savings depleted. A death (no life insurance) and my brother lost his job so i gave them money…a few bad months in sales and I am not meeting my obligatiions this month at all….scary.
I am not sure if that is that these posts were for, but thet is where my heart is tonight/
April 17th, 2010 at 4:40 am
Hi David,
1. Still following my inner guide by noticing/doing what makes my heart sing in all aspects of life;
2. Have successful online businesses doing what I love – see no. 1
3. continue to be part of other’s support teams – writers,friends,clients…
April 17th, 2010 at 4:43 am
I get a feeling that there are a lot of good ideas and good motivation brewing in our hearts and minds. I pray that we all accomplish our simplest to most complex goals and dreams. That we never let go of or dismiss our dreams, and listen to our hearts and strengthen these dreams and visions. Let obstacles be a juice to feed our motivation even more. Keep partnering with positive people and focus on and live as if we have what we are pursuing, right in our hands, right before our eyes, grow it with details, talk about it, write it down, make a dream/vision board…we are there now, can you feel it? can you see, taste, smell, touch it?
I’m with you, and look forward to watching all of us grow as we create, design and live our best dreams/goals/visions. It is happening now !
Love to everyone

Right now all I want is to receive the book – once it arrives I will give you some comment
April 17th, 2010 at 4:49 am
What do I want? well I want to be and remain comfortable. Not ot have to wory about money.
How do I see my life in twelve months , with your new found welth( or somthing like that, [what welth?])?
I see myself a year older and a little broker, Body and soul.
Akk U cab hope for is that mother live just ten more years and it looks like she will out live me,LOL.
I am fifty-three next 14th may.
I have not been sovial for over ten years and have cut back to just the tinyest margin of to far below poverty for way to long. Helping others keep there cars running and I cant keep one for myself.
I have browsed the book and downloaded it because I could read it at my leasure. It is hard for me to trust anymore and for me sales never worked I just cant lie good enough to sell somone somthing. I am not forceful enough. and I just cant belive that the crap that I am selling is worth the money.
I will not sell somthing that is not worth selling and useing myself.
In my dreams and fantasys I see in one year me and a trained pit crew running all the local off raoad rallys in my self built custom 240Z Rally fox.
But now back to the dysmal realiaty , So far Life sucks.
April 17th, 2010 at 5:17 am
This is interesting to read everyone’s replies. All looking make a good way forward at this time …. I will write and ebook with self help for physical pian and dysfunction … of course often linked to emotional issues but the physical side and awarenes to emotional and how to manage or train out those problems and be pain free for your everyday life/ activities.
April 17th, 2010 at 5:21 am
Thanks, David and the team ! I was skeptic when I first heard about the book but downloaded under a gut-feeling, and I am so glad I did. I have not yet completed the book, but have read many pages and I want to read more. It talks much sense and is authentic.
10 years ago I kicked a V.P.-Mktg. job to do holistic motivational training for self-growth through a training that blends Science with Spiritual values common to all faiths. I have had very difficult times to market these programs, especially in the beginning and then more recently when recession had peaked globally, but even then, I have by now coached / addressed several thousands from freshers to CEO’s in my own country (India) and abroad. When people come back and thank me for having helped them change their lives, I feel very grateful and gratified. Hundreds of such rave feedbacks can be witnessed at http://www.hansyoga.com/what.htm
Yes, indeed, any limitations we have are only in our minds – in our thoughts and perceptions. We have infinite creativity within, which presents infinite possibilities without !
Yes, we can do it. Best of luck for all my friends, it’s good to be cautious, and not to be rash, but never ever be afraid. Plan intelligently, execute diligently and pray ceaselessly seeking intuitive guidance. Good day,
Hans

Many roads have I traveled. Most have had there perils that had there effects on my life and those that I have become acquainted with through my life. There are secrets that I have that I hold dearly and there have been experiences that I doubt will be believed by others. More on those latter.
Have I succeeded in life? My answer is, yes and no. I have succeeded if one takes into considerations that the knowledge ones gains is highly important and can be measured with the goal of success. But if one feels that money and wealth of money gained is success, then, I guess so far, I have failed.
Has anyone ever, as a child, set a broken bone so perfect that the doctors had nothing else to do but put a cast on the arm of another child?
I did. My younger brother was jumping up and down on the bed one day when he slipped and his arm went through the headboard and snapped. The bone was protruding through the flesh and he was crying. He came to me for help. I had him hold his arm next to his chest and I touched around the area that was broke and asked if it hurt. He said no. I had read in a medical book that the pain was not instantly felt and could take a minute or two before it is felt so I took hold of both ends of his arm and pulled apart till the bone was back in and envisioned in my mind exactly where the bones needed to be and twist till I felt it was back in place.
Then I took him to our parents which they proceeded to take him to the hospital emergency room. When they x-rayed his arm they asked who set the break. My dad ask why. They said they could not have done a more perfect job. My dad looked at me kind of funny like amazement.
I was only 8 years old when I did that.
Child prodigy? Or was it just luck? I only felt that I needed to do what was right to help a fellow human.
So is this a good beginning of a great story of my life? Will it have reflections on others?
If I am asked to continue then I guess I will post more.
Love to be and be loved.

Thanks for being part of my world of people who inspire me to be a better person, and I am planing to read the book soon.
I want to be a financial advisor. I have already got my license in Life Insurance, but I need to put action in order to succeed and I have a chalenge , because excuses.
God bless you

I was in the process of trying to write a book, but besides getting stuck on the writing part, I hadn’t gotten to wondering how or if it would ever get published.
I haven’t finished reading your book, but I can see that there are great ideas that will help me get an e-book out, or even set something up to share what I’ve learned thru my own health challenges, and hope to help millions of people.
In a year, I’d like to be financially independent, to be able to live in a decent home, travel, visit family, and have the money available to start a company that I have in mind.
Thanks so much for your great spirit, and for doing this for everyone.

Personally, I want to build a reserve so that I can help deserving students complete their education. I felt really bad being unable to assist a talented student pay her semester fees which she needed badly and her mother had been hurt in an accident and was unable to work. Another group of students won a regional space settlement design competition and qualify for the finals in Houston this July. I want to be in a position to help them meet their expenses, air tickets, travel, board, lodging, visa fees and software training: no organization, government or individual has stepped forward as yet to help meet the required amount. It is a shame to see such hard work achievements go waste because of lack of funds!
April 17th, 2010 at 5:38 am
Great book.
in one year:
1 – Have http://www.i-love-aran.com earning money to pay for itself
2 – Have current offline language school business http://www.tep.es operating fully on the internet following your guidelines
3 – Pay more people more money to help me do these things

Wow … thanks so much David for supplying the right book at the right time. As they say – when you are ready the teacher will appear. I’m almost finished reading … so clear, concise and empowering!
I’ve been on a journey of discovering what my legacy is for some years, but you have finally given some direction to what that may be for me. To feel the empowerment of being given an opportunity to provide an income by helping others and BEING WHO I AM and utilising my life experinece is just so awesome!!!
My plan is to develop an online biz assisting other women who are in the heartbreaking position, as I have been, of Starting Over in their later years. I’m unclear as yet on how to proceed given that I’m not a counsellor or coach .. I’m just learning how to start over myself! Any ideas out there would be much appreciated.
Keep up the good work David … just knowing you are a fellow Aussie was also a big plus in spurring me on to download your thoroughly enjoyable and informative book.
Cheers
April 17th, 2010 at 5:53 am
David,
A year from now I will be leading an organization for people who are all about knowing themselves, manifesting and following their intuition to success. Thanks for asking! It’s fun to tell someone outside of my community.
April 17th, 2010 at 5:58 am
Haven’t had a chance to read the book yet. Will re-visit this post once I do…. 3 things I want in my life over the next 12 months?
1. Financial Security. Hubby got laid off last May, and is working now at a FRACTION of his previous pay.
2. Finish my novel. Maybe not published, but finished…with at least ONE rejection letter forthcoming.
3. Goal weight. Struggled for years. Tired of it. Ready to get back to the person I used to be…. Hopefully with a little more pocket money and people wanting me to sign their book!
April 17th, 2010 at 6:16 am
I admit that I haven’t yet read the book, other than to check the download was successful.
I have skimmed through some of the comments above and have found them,on the whole, to be very positive and (dare I say) empowering in themselves – I can’t wait to read the book.
I am a multi-skilled individual with determination to succeed in whatever I choose to turn my hand to. At this point, I feel guided more to giving help, advice and guidance to individuals who are struggling in life, in whatever way that may be. My difficulty at present is finding the right way to reach out to them, although I am confident that inspiration will kick in and I will be guided in the right direction very soon.
May I take this opportunity to wish everyone here every success in their many and varied ventures.
Brightest Blessings

I haven’t even looked at the book, I can’t download it, there isn’t any room on the computer/ laptop. I would like to play bills/no bills. Rock babies, help people, donate to others, be closer to God, see everyone close to God. We all need Him. I know you can’t help me, share love, help new mothers. Tell women who want to have a baby to walk and keep walking during pregnacy and workout, not with weights,body weight. You can erase this if you want. ps. I had 7 and have been caring changing dieapers since I was 4, 3 gnerations.
April 17th, 2010 at 6:42 am
Hi got really excited about your book but still have to get my head around it to fully understand how I could make money out of it. Get the newsletter and the idea that if my site attracts lots of hits I will earn money from businesses that wish to advertise on my site, (earning a possible percentage of sales) and I get that one may be able to earn from a Newsletter. I am not sure if I have product to sell yet? You see I love to write comedy, Spiritual comedy laughing at the challenge one can feel trying to be Spiritual, ahhh, when my darn ego has other ideas. I also wish to share enlightened tit-bits in a funny way to lighten it all up. So I will have to re-read the book and absorb more. Any ideas David? Thanks soooo much Jane

Hi David,
I haven’t received the book I requested yet. I hope to see it in my mailbox in one of these days. After reading it I shall let you have my comments.
Meanwhile, I thought I should let you know that, though I am retired and out of the work force since early 2005 at the age of 71, and my only and very limited income is from S.S., I dream to one day have my own Foundation that allows me to reach out and generously help charity organizations, medical research centers, and the needy ones, so as to make this a better place to live.
May God bless you, and here’s to your health, more successes and accomplishments!
April 17th, 2010 at 7:04 am
Great idea – Let’s see how it grows.
I run a crisis clinic for victims of violent crimes. I train volunteers for free, but find they leave “also for free” I will get them all to take part in this, maybe we can get them to stay.
Today I am exhausted after having been on duty the whole week 24hours…….. BUT tomorrow is a new day.

Fear and Love, our basic emotions.
My primary idea is not getting paid, it is to awaken people to their potential and to the challenges in front of us, as well as to the deeper joys of life. I am really on the move! Somebody out there that feels like synchronizing in some way? Check my homepage: http://www.fearorlove.se
Great to see David an all the rest of you who are alive! Will take a thorough look to see who you are.

Hi David… I am just starting with your book (I read about it in Nick Ortners newsletter). It came just in the perfect moment for me! I have been struggling with this issue for quite a while now. To earn money with something that’s no effort for me, something I just love to do: photography. I am still trying to find my mission statement. Could be something like Well… I am sure I will find out on my way reading your book. Thank you so much for sharing it!!!
Best wishes and a blessed weekend to you!

April 17th, 2010 at 7:43 am
this is interesting… somehow my mission statement disappeared in the comment..
probably because of the brackets I set it in. Maybe I should rethink it… I’s With my images I want to help people to get in touch with their inner light.

I could have never believed starting your own business is this EASY!!!. I can’t wait to start my own business on life coaching. What i love about your book David, is that focuses on helping others sincerely and not just always wanting to make profits like other business books. Anyway, my vision for the future would be start up the best life coaching service for women especially. And reading your book has made me very excited and motivated to start the training needed.
Thanks A Lot

I have only looked into the book until now. Thank you anyway. It looks interesting.
I’m at the moment overflowed with “good stuff” from the internet. It takes time to go through it all. I have so many Hobbies and can’t say which one I really burn for most. I’m tapping on it:-).

Wow! This is just what I have been looking for. I know that my life is destined to go in a new and more fulfilling direction in a way that can have a positive impact on other people’s lives and have been searching for the right way forward. This information is going to help so much.
One of the things I am currently involved in is with my dearest friend, Georgie. We are setting up a charity to help disadvantaged kids around the world starting in Guadalajara, Mexico. If you would like to find out how this journey began and what we want to achieve please visit our website. We are leaving for Mexico next Wednesday to commit to helping various projects, mainly around orphaned children and abused street kids and all donations to support us are gratefully received.
I will keep you posted of developments, both with KATW and in the other areas I would like to develop into.
Thank you – you are an inspiration.
p.s. my 17 year old daughter is also very excited about this as she is currently writing a book and wants to travel the world – there are some fantastic tips here for her to use.
April 17th, 2010 at 8:59 am
Hi David,
Read the book cover to cover in four hours. Thank you.
Most mind blowing bit? WHO do you want to sell to?
I’m not a divorce lawyer but the age and sex is spot on like in your book.
45+ women.
I do four things superbly
1 I make beautiful black and white portraits of people over 70.
2 I help people to heal with extraordinary success, often in just one session.
3 I write
4 I speak in public with an Irishman’s gift of storytelling.
Your book has me re vamping my websites with your mardeting recommendations – free offers etc, from pictures for your desktop to teaching my portraiture in articles.
I don’t like blogs – silly me, I’ve just read these and wow – I can connect with all the websites and start widening my market visions, become part of communities I didn’t know existed.
So now I like blogs.
And I’m learning fast that marketing is not the chore I’ve always relegated it to. It’s fun! It IS the business!
love and all the best

I have downloadet the book, but not read it jet. I feel that it is just what I need right now. I am in proces of starting a buiseness that sell handicraft from poor people, to help them make a living. I like to see it as a platform for the univers to operate through. Everything is still in the making. A year from now this platform wil be very activ and I have quit the job I have now and is spending my time only doing good and making a living out of it
Thank you very much for “pushing” me into writing this.
April 17th, 2010 at 9:01 am
Read just a snippet of your book and will delve into it more deeply this weekend. My work is with the Sabian symbols, having developed models with them for daily living–to help others utilize signatures as prompts for conscious awakening. Wonderful and amazing! Have websites. Have a book. ‘Stuck’ with the world’s marketing ideas, i.e. none of them appeal to me, so I’ll take a look at your ideas. Social networking is great, but still a more refined and purposefully-strategic (and worthy) way must be found to keep marketing itself in its truly aware and pure state… Trying to understand that better rather than just settle on what’s out there right now. Lo, here! Lo, there! Glad to have someother way to investigate. Thanks!
April 17th, 2010 at 9:01 am
What do I want and where do I want to be in 12 months time? Great question. I want to let go of all my limitations. The barriers that keep me from simply enjoying what already is. I would like to share my Inspirational Insights with more people and grow the whole concept into a thriving community. I want to look back and remember the places I have visited, the people I have met and the joy I have felt.
Thank you for the book – I can’t wait to start it and learn.
April 17th, 2010 at 9:14 am
Thanks for sending me the book. I have surfaced to life after years of family responsibility. Now, I want to have a life of my own. For many years I have been writing. I have a pile of novels sitting in state in the cupboard, and on the computer. But no one seems to want to offer to publish because I have a different writing style. Or set a lot of guide lines, which a writer starting to find his/her feet can’t affort. Some I have put in movie script style but everyone you talk to tell you there different ideas about how to do.
I have lots of plans I would like to do in the future if only I had a guardian Angel to pave the way. Being on a pension does not allow people to achieve their dream.
April 17th, 2010 at 9:15 am
I haven’t read the book but I can answer your questions. I want to be in peace with everything. I want to love unconditionally and be happy all the time.

I have received your book and started to read it. I have been looking for a new business and I can see this book helping me out. I now have found what I have been looking for and your book is perfect. Thank You
April 17th, 2010 at 9:35 am
I downloaded yoru book and read it straight away, it so resonates with everything I teach and offer to others.
I am amazed at some of the comments above where people have downloaded but not yet read the book, even though it is exactly what they need right now!
I find one of the biggest challenges people face is that they are full of fear and don’t really believe in themselves or that they really can do what they love and get paid for it and before they can take that step out of their comfort zone they need to release all the limiting beleifs they have and gain the ultimate confidence that they had when they were born, which so many people think they have lost when in reality they have simply allowed all the negativity, false beliefs and perceived reality in the world gather around them and bog them down.
That was one of the reasons that I created my ultimate confidence from the inside out complete toolkit programme for people, because I could see the desire in people to make positive changes and get paid for who they are, but this is so often coupled by lack of confidence (true inner confidence) in themselves.
So many people look outside for the answers, download books and programmes, attend conferences and workshops and then go away and never use the tools and ideas they have been offered, because they just do not have the confidence to come out of their comfort zones and “DO IT!”
There is no point downloading a book if you are not going to read it and no point having the tools and technqiues you need if you are not going to use them – it’s not always easy but it is simple and can be done!
I’ve been there and done it step by step, and each step I took to move away from my old belief systems and move out of my comfort zone gave me a feeling of empowerment and freedom and I take another step each day too.
Your book is fantastic David and I have recommended it to everyone I know and would urge everyone not only to download it but read it and use the tools and ideas you give.
It’s your life everyone….Live it and love it!
You wont have another one and there are no rehearsals!

David,
Thank you for a wonderful book and for making it free to the public. When you give a little without strings attached it will multiply and return to you.
I had a thriving business and lost it due to health problems that chewed up every penny I had saved. I can not put my 30 years of experience in to coaching and once again enjoy life and do what I want to do.
Many thanks
Martyn
April 17th, 2010 at 9:44 am
Many thanks for your wonderful book. There is something practical about it and it seems no one will follow its content closely without experiencing a turn around.This is exactly what I need now in my life.
In 12 months I would like to be debt free and prospering financially, as well as touching lives in other ways. I need financial freedom more than anything in my life right now. I will do any legitimate work in order to break out of this financial prison.
I believe when I truly settle down to learning and doing what you teach in your book I will see a remarkable, if not a dramatic turn around.
God bless

April 17th, 2010 at 9:53 am
Thank you so much for the book! I started reading it straight away and read the first quarter. I was really fascinated by other people’s experience and ambitions. Currently my day job is holding me up and I really need to quit in order to do justice to my dream, which has been formulating for years and being repressed in order to do justice to other people’s goals for me. If I didn’t care about them, I wouldn’t be inhibited in my own life – but it’s my party, and I’ll succeed if I want to. All guidance gratefully received.

I have downloaded the e-book. It looks very interesting.
I have been having life and belief changing problems lately – which, I hope, will be straightened out by the end of this month. After that, I should have more time for the book.
Thank you,

April 17th, 2010 at 10:27 am
Thanks for the free book!
In 12 months time i hope to be free of any fear and limitation…i want to have given up my current job which does not please me and i would like to find what ever it is i am meant to be doing and embracing life.
Thanks x

Hi David,
Thank you very much for your book. I am an IT Project Lead and Consultant, working in Germany. I am quite sucessfull but my real passion is to combine and harmonize spiritual practice and modern workaday life. I have now got an strong impulse to move forward to this by providing coaching services in this area.
Thanks again

I am waiting to recieve my book in the mail…..I can’t wait! I have spent the last 20 years in hopsitals helping people learn how to GET WELL & STAY WELL. My dream has always been to move beyond the walls of the hospital and reach people so they don’t end up there!
I founded WELL YOUniversity to teach people what they won’t learn anywhere else!
The greater picture is to be a part of making a difference in world health! I am looking forward to your guidance in making this dream a reality!
April 17th, 2010 at 10:52 am
Hi David,
I have read parts of your book and it has great ideas to help set up my business. My goal for the next 12 months is to overcome limiting beliefs. I am also building my coaching business to help others live the live they want.
April 17th, 2010 at 11:00 am
Firstly, I would like to thank you David for this wonderful gift you have given unconditionally.
I have read it from cover to cover and it certainly simplifies so much.
I live a humble life, and my passion is Lomilomi Massage. My vision is to see regular clients daily, being touched by this wonderful bodywork.
The book has confirmed to me that it’s possible to be Humble,Abundant and successful.
Still not quite sure if I have it in me to bring all the technical stuff together. The book has unlocked a little something inside me. So for now, I will work on that and let my passion create my miracle.
You are a true Lightworker David. Keep shining your Light.
Thank you for having that big heart.

I am not able to download the book despite many attempts. Kindly help.
April 17th, 2010 at 11:08 am
Hi David,
Just starting the book—I think it’s going to be a mind-blower. Thank you!
My goal—actually I have two. First, I want to set up multiple sources of income so I can “retire” by the time I’m 45. That gives me three years, although I suspect your book will help me get there a lot faster. Second, I want to start my own non-profit organization to help the elderly stay in their homes. I want to set it up so that any services they need (plumbing, carpentry, landscaping, housekeeping, etc.) can be had for free, just by making a phone call. There is such a huge need for this! I can’t tell you how many older people I know who let their homes go by the wayside because they can’t meet the costs of maintaining them. I see it every day and it is so sad.
I don’t know yet how I will actually set this up, but I see the end result in my head and that’s a good place to start.
April 17th, 2010 at 11:12 am
David,
wow! I read you book right away and was really impressed by the content and the fact you are giving this to people. I am unemployeed and trying not to get discouraged…but would really like to soar in my own business.
I rescue homeless cats and dogs……not money making but fills the heart with joy and purpose. So that part i got down ..now looking for the financial. will read you book few more times and recommend it to all.
One million thank yous,
Linda

Hi.Thank you for sending me the book, which I have not read YET!!
What do I want and where do I want to be in 12months time, is an excellent question. as I am a full time career,wife,nurse, driver, to my very sick disabled husband. 12months seems a lifetime away,I do know that there is more to my life, I just need to find what it is to make mine and our lives more rewarding and financially free. I love to bring joy to others and laughter to peoples lives.
Thanks again.

In heaven my name is Fontain . The literal translation :
” A Fountain Unto His Own ”
I received this personal knowledge during a vision in which I was transported VIA a golden wormhole to a beautifull green field of grass just outside the perly gates landing front center a large welcome committie of men women and children all of whom were happy that I arrived safely and all were glad to see me . I felt at home and I knew I was loved . Everybody was cheering, shaking my hands, slapping me on the back and picked me up and carried me around on there shoulders . Finally everyone calmed down .
There I was standing in the same spot I landed upon arrival when I popped out of the wormhole . An elder came up to me and proceeded with explaning to me where I was transported and the reason why I had to be brought there in person to receive knowledge, given my final instructions before leaving earth, and correct my characture defects that would prevent my returning after my alloted time on earth expired.
The revalation of personal knowledge I received in front of the many witnesses are as follows :
1) Always Honor my word to the best of my abilities . ie. say what I mean , mean what i say , do what I promise to do .
2) Respect all peoples religeous / spiritual beliefs / practises at all times , respect even those claiming to worship satan ,reserving judgement from the lord god Allmighty . Reason being , even those claiming devils as god are seeking god and god reveals himself to all whom seek him .
3) Never use threats of hell fire and damnnation when trying to win souls for the lord , as this pushes away more that are seeking than draws near. Threats also violate human free will. ( free will is the only thing seperating human kind from all other life forms and energy )
4) When I witness to non-believers or those that are seeking to know god , do not be a false witness . Do not use the testomony of my brother . I was commanded to tell of the things of my own personal experience that god has done in my life that prooves to me personally that god exists beyond doubt .
One personal example of mine , this vision and the things revealed to me during the experience.
5) I am to remember allways that I am an ambassoador of heaven and to conduct myself accordingly.
The elder asked me if I understood what had been revealed to me and I said yes I do , and if I had any questions . I looked around me at every one and noticed every one was dressed in togas , the men wore all solid colors and the women and childrens garments were of many different colors combined . I then looked down at my body and noticed that I had been standing there the whole time naked and asked, Is this my heavenly body , is this what I will look like when I return ? The elder said yes it is and that I should notice that it was free from all disease or defects of any kind and that it was designed to last forever , never needing replacement .
I looked around at everyone and became embarrassed at my naked ness and was given a toga which I promptly put on . Then a voice other than the elder that had been speaking said It is near the time he must return to earth . The elder ask me , are you ready to go ? Yes I replied. Then another voice cryed out No wait , you forgot to reveal his name , and then every one yelled , what is his name ? and turned there heads to the right which when I looked it was to the left and there standing with his back toward me dressed in a pure white toga was the king of kings , he lifted his hands and arms over his head and said in a loud booming voice “Font, Fontain, A Fountain unto my own ” Every one ooed and turned and looked at me and said ” A Fountain unto his own ” I then in total awe said ” A Fountain unto his own ” In an instant I was back in the golden wormhole traveling at what I perceived to be beyond the speed of light . Within a few seconds I popped back into earths atmosphere and back into my earthly body in front of over twenty witnesses , four of them were within arms reach playing cards on the bed next to mine and saw up close what happened at the moment of my return .
Thank god there were four people to witness the reaction of my body when my soul re-entered its temporary shell . I would not have believed it myself had it not been witnessed by four so close that heard a pop and felt the wind as my body was shot straight up into the air off the bed ,stiff as a board landing on my feet walking at a very rapid pace speaking in a language unknown to every one in the dormatory . It was over a half hour before I could utter any words of english that any one could understand . What do you think my first words were to the room full of men that witnessed this event in my life that was as real as anything I have ever experienced and in some ways more so than any experience of my life ?
I will tell the rest of my testomony in the book about my life experiences that have given me personal proof of gods existance beyond any shadow of doubt .
I have no resorces or funds to bring my testomony to publication and distribution . I need your help .
Thank you , Be Blessed , Remain Blessed , Be a Blessing to others .

” A Fountain Unto His Own “

Hi to everyone here
I started a photography business last year and it is growing in fits and starts…I still work at my job for a small town bank and while it is a rewarding and good place to be, it is my goal to have my photography business as my primary source of income and abundance in twelve months time.
I have always loved to create. I am an artist at heart. I not only take photographs of people and things, but create works of art from them. To be able to give a moments joy to someone, or speak to their soul with an image is what I seek to do with my work.
I am also one who believes in social justice
I have a desire to pursue a vision I have, to travel and photograph homeless persons…to spend time talking to them…capturing the essence of their life…illustrate their story, the story of homelessness and hunger in America. It is very powerful for me, I am being compelled to this work 
. I am working on how I will do this. I know it is time to bring these powerful images to light for more to see…presenting them as art so that when people look at the images they will see human beings with lives and stories that matter. And to show that we have much to do in this country to alleviate suffering.
Peace and Light to you all.
Namaste

We have an exact match with philosophy. See my the video and article about making money by being who you are: Are you a human? Or a fake dancer?(Seriously)

So glad you are putting this message out
Think I’ll dedicate the episode to you.

I am only 35 pages into the book but it is easy to digest and since I am writing a book right now, it is a model to follow. My dream at this moment would be to get my book finished and start selling it on the web.

David,
Thank you for the book. Haven’t had the chance to finish it yet, but looking forward to a quiet time at the end of this day to do so. I want to be a successful author of books for all ages, using the characters I create in clay. I am an English teacher by trade, and see the devastating effects of low literacy in adults and lack of confidence in children who aren’t fluent readers. I hope to help people overcome limiting beliefs in a fun way – learning through the arts. I want to enjoy prosperity by helping people tell their own stories through my books.
Thanks for the support and motivation!

I’m not yet sure how this will become manifest but I KNOW that we will have an open house on March 21, 2011.

I downloaded your book on Tuesday, 4/13/10, and read it in the following few hours. It’s a great road map. I then needed to decide who I was going to help, and how it would work with the model you presented. I made that decision by Friday morning. Friday evening I started working on my website and I’m still at that point. I am very excited about the possibilities!!!!
April 17th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
I had already started what I thought would be something worth sharing. Since starting your book I have already bought a new URL (www.RaiseaSmartChild.com) and started the product. Thanks!
April 17th, 2010 at 1:24 pm
Beads are awesome! I have such a good time beading, and creating patterns and writing books – that I want to share that with others, so they can have fun, too. I really want to earn enough money to support myself. I look forward to reading your book. Thanks!

1-Deep wells of resources that have filled and overflowed any debt or loss.
2-Foundations and projects to benefit family, friends and many others.
3-creative sharing and empowering of people discovering and noticing their own ideas and taking the risk of trying it out, doing what comes next.

I successfully reversed stage IV metastatic breast cancer without the use of conventional treatments. I refused chemo, radiation and drugs and am writing a book to help others who are looking for effective alternatives to the orthodox options. Thanks for your free book – it will help me get organized to reach and help a large audience. – Mary
April 17th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Hi David,
Thanks for providing us with a real business marketing plan that is complete and accurate, even though I have not finished it yet. With all the so-called “gurus” out there selling all kinds of stuff that nobody is sure whether it’s even up to date or not, here you come with a free ebook that seems to tell it all, and it is exactly what I have been hoping for. It just seems to me that if people are selling something that is labeled as the best way to make money and those who are selling it are actually making all that money that they say they are, why do they need my $27? I have found through my spiritual studies that in order to receive what you want, you must give away for free something of value on a daily basis. This very idea is what has prompted me to put up my website and give away a bunch of very valuable free information so that people can benefit from it in some way. Then I can also start to offer premium services, such as audio books and coaching. To sum it up, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your gift to all of us.
April 17th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Thank you for the Book! I have just had a peak, but it looks very interesting! I am in the process of clearing out inner obstacles for finding my true purpose in life, and creating it the way I want it, so I welcome this book very much. Thank you.
April 17th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Great question David! A question like that demands our minds to focus on what we want our life to look like, and what we want to experience, 12 moths from today.
I will have http://www.acceleratorforsuccess.com become the # 1 tool for people to gain: Clarity, Confidence & Focus to create Results by Design in their lives.
Inspiring the best in people is my life’s mission, purpose and vision.
Looking forward to reading your book! Thanks! Welcome to the Dream Bar Cafe!
April 17th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
Great book! Very inspirational. I have a new business to business website going live in a few weeks. It is starting out regional but my goal over the next uear is to take it national.
April 17th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
David — Your inspiration and encouragement is always a big boost for me. I love the idea of getting paid for “being” rather than “doing”!
My vision is to win The Next Top Spiritual Author book competition — my co-authored book THE EXHILARATION EFFECT: Building the Courage to Take Your Leap of Faith (with Camille Leon) is currently in the top 150 of 2500 other books seeking to win a high-profile publishing contract with Hampton Roads, publisher of “Conversations With God.”
Check out our Book Pitch video (and please support us with your vote if you choose!) at http://NextTopAuthor.com/?aid=741.
My big vision is to help more people take Leaps of Faith with ease and joy through leading our workshops, exhilarating breakthrough events, teleclasses, and also writing more books (The Exhilaration Effect for women, couples, career, family, health, etc.) — info at http://ExhilarationEffect.com.
I am also eager to sharing other people’s Leap of Faith stories with the world to remind all of us that doing more than we think we can expands our lives and grows our souls.
Many thanks for sharing your wisdom and Leaps with all of us!
April 17th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
I look forward to the support from you book, assisting me in releasing all thoughts that are not supportive of pursuing my dream. My dream is to be creating vibrant opportunities for others to awaken and life to their potential; through the opening of their hearts, the discovery of their unique gifts, and the sharing of our gifts with each other.
April 17th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
Hallo David,
thank you for your present.
I did ‘nt read it yet, but I will and then I will tell you.
April 17th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
I downloaded your book and plan to read it starting next week. I consider myself a floundering entrepreneur who plans to be a flourishing entrepreneur in a year.
I started an investing/trading website this year and am slowly scaling the waters of on-line marketing as I improve the site.
Also, I just finsihed a book on a 6 year period of my life where I lost my son, my father and nearly a second son. It is my spiritual journey and I’m looking for a publisher. I plan to use the web for this project as well.
Thirdly, I’m looking for a business oppurtunity with potential to scale into multiple stores and plan to partner with my 2 sons. God help me…
April 17th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Wow! Thankyou so much for the book! In twelve months time I hope to have to have my own internet bussiness alive and flourishing.I’m still working on my idea/product. I’m hoping get paid university will help with that (thanks too for that). what I am good at and have the most experience with is.. life.. so finding my niche, that consumers will respond to in a way that genuninely makes me feel I am actually helping and not just making money from nothing is my goal. Again thanks david for the inspiration!
April 17th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
I haven’t read the book yet. But will, now that I’ve gotten the prod. 12 months from now I want to own a big, open loft space with lots of windows, hardwood floors and a fantastic view of the mountains. I will no longer be in financial debt to anyone and my business will be successful with an abundance of money in the bank. I’ll engage, employ, a number of people with strong, effective work. I’ll work about 6 hours a day and devote the rest of time to active pursuits, leisure time with my son and friends. And, oh, I’ll be in a committed, healthy and nurturing relationship with a lover.
April 17th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
I downloaded the book, but can’t find it. What would it be called?
April 17th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Twelve months from now our newsletter will be running smoothly. we’ll get a lot of sponsors and a lot of workshops to conduct. we’ll make a lot of money and I’ll be able to go abroad on holidays at least twice a year.
April 17th, 2010 at 2:58 pm
Thank you for your download book. Yes, I did read it, but I must add that my writing intentions are not quite the same.
I am not impressed with the making money for writing end all – nor the dream of having this or that: if I am not content right now I spread my discontent wherever I am. I remain content in having the day BE as it should be. My writing IS my legacy right now & it is worth more than the $$$ amount that it could generate. And yet, I remain well supplied for & remain in well being as much as possible.
I have tried to fit into an ‘author mode’ but find that I do not like the ‘box’. I do not want to pay the price of what it takes to become that type of author. Not that anything is wrong with it or with your proposals. I value everyone’s opinions & purposes, but cannot incorporate what I cannot assimilate or agree with.
Peace & Love
C.L.
April 17th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
Thank you David for your book. I have already started reading and applying the principles in it.
My passion is to educate others about the affects of arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and irritable bowel syndrome have on the person with it and their family. These are debilitating diseases that affect your well being as well as your body. I have experienced these affects on my family and myself, for 15 years and they aren’t pretty.
I will support The Arthritis Foundation.
April 17th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
My website is still not on line.
I hope to become real good to be able to help a lot of people improving their life. If I can profit afterwards from some money I made by helping them, it will be a win-win situation.
April 17th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
Yes, I loved the book, read it in one sitting and want to read it again. I love the writer enthusiasm and confidence, it is contagious,I had the feeling I could have that too. Thank you. I’m from Brazil and have great hopes for the Rain Forests. Hope your book can be a boost for that endeavor. May we all prosper in all fronts. Clea
April 17th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
David,
First let me say thanks so much for letting me in on your ides. I am truly amazed at the concept.I am a professional magician. Struggling artist does not begin to explain my plight. My goal would be to open a magic club/bar /restaurant. I love magic very much unfortunately I live in Germany where the mindset is a “tad” different than that in the USA.My dream will still stay alive as long as I do.

April 17th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Thank you for the sharing of yourself and your valuable information that is sure to help and inspire many. I haven’t read through the entire book, but the few pages I have read have given me inspiration to share myself with others so that they, too, can benefit and be inspired. It’s a blessing to be able to give in this way….
April 17th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
I don’t have a website at this point – not even sure how to set that up. I’ve been so busy with my work and trying to finish a doctoral degree that there just never seems to be enough time for other matters.
I have read about 1/4 of your book and, as others have commented, enjoy the enthusiasm, but question the reality and practicality of it all.
I am a couple of years away from retirement and would like to feel financially secure/independent, but at this point I don’t see that happening (thus, the reason I have not yet donated). I am not sure my area of expertise would “sell” in an on-line environment simply because there are many other resources available to interested individuals. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. I am a music educator (over 30 years) and professional musician.
Thank you,
Todd
April 17th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
In addition to my comments above, in a more personal and specific manner, I’m a writer, want to publish my book and help people all over the word to get beyond procrastination. David’s book is a great inspiration. Clea
April 17th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
how to get paid who u r? how this happen tell me
April 17th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
I loved the concepts presented so far I plan to use a few of them. I am currently still reading more of the e-book and find it very helpful.
April 17th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
I will publish and sell no less than 5,000 copies of the “Changer and the Changed: A Field Guide for Spiritual Activism” (http://www.NextTopAuthor.com/?aid=989) and host the first Annual Walk the Talk Conference that is attended by no less than 500 people who each pay no less than $250 each to attend; and establish an Executive Coaching and Consulting Practice of 50 social, civic and spiritual leaders from around the world who pay no less than $5,000 each per year in service fees. All of the proceeds from these activities have funded the establishment of the Compassionate Heart Spiritual Community and Sanctuary – a spiritual activist training and retreat center. The proceeds also support C3 Initiatives, Inc. the 501(c)3 I founded to serve communities and provide the space for spiritual activists to learn and serve – gaining the skills to replicate compassionate services in thier own communities.
April 17th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
David,
Thank you for the book. My problem is I have yet to figure out my passion. I have been looking into this for 6 months and still nothing. I would love to get together with you since I live near Zealand, MI. Thanks again for the insperation.

Just a note to everyone writing their goal for 12 months from now:
Write it in the present tense as if it has already happened. If you use the future tense, your subconscious mind will continue to believe these things are to happen in the future and you are less likely to ever achieve them. Attach a date to your vision and write it as though it has happened. It also helps to add why you are so happy and grateful for having achieved the goal. Emotion empowers the thoughts we submit to the subconscious.
Best wishes everyone.

Twelve months from now I want optimum health,and to be a prosperous Lifestyle Coach
April 17th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
I will read the book this week.
Today is 12-31-10 and I am writing down this years accomplishments.
I am a multi-millionaire and I live in a beautiful home surrounded by aspens and evergreens, there is a small river running through the property. I am sitting in my office looking west at an amazing view of the mountains. I am in excellent health. I am living with my beautiful life partner.
This has been a productive year and tomorrow I will continue to build on the successes I have had in 2010. I made my plan for 2011 last month at an amazing spa retreat. I will need to make a recommendation in the newsletter that it is best to give yourself some relaxation time just before you make your plans.
I am happy, successful and living each day with joy and gratitude.
Happy New Year!!

David, thank you so much for the book. You did a great job in giving so much practical insight from beginning to end, for someone who wants to start developing their skills in a different way. I’m sure you will get repaid for all the good you’ve been sharing with others. God bless you!
April 17th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
I have not read your book yet, but plan to do so as soon as it is downloaded.
I have copied below the introduction found on my website, just to provide a little about my vision and mission. I would like to write a book one day, but find that my life is so busy with saying yes to support my friends and loved ones there is not enought time for me. I can vision me living life abundantly as I teach as an inspirational teacher.
Did you know that you can experience prosperity in every level of your life, just by changing your prosperity consciousness? Shirley Hairston Everett, an inspirational teacher and member of Unity of Roanoke Valley is presently focusing on her passion: sharing God’s laws of prosperity. Retiring after thirty-four years of service in education, she now has the flexibility to provide workshops and speak at churches, community groups, or special event seminars. Participants in these functions will learn to utilize the prosperity laws of prayer, faith and tithing which will lead them to the prosperities of their dreams and desires to live a life of abundance. Participants will also learn to use tools such as inspirational reminder signs, co-creator journal and Living Life Abundantly family board game.
Please see highlights on the Calendar page of her workshop provided on June 17, 2007 at Unity of Roanoke Valley.

My 12 Month Vision…
I am so happy and grateful that I have Inspired Millions of people through my experience, and continue everyday to help others become successful doing what brings them joy. I am grateful that through Seminars, Blog Talk Radio, Coaching and Books that I have helped ordinary people live extraordinary lives. And while generating Multiple Streams of income, I have created some great ripples of awareness in the world, which has brought my idea of The Institute of Creativity into the world, allowing genius to run free, and changing the learning channel for the youth of today, which are our leaders of tomorrow.
That’s My Vision,…and I’m sticking to it! lol! : )
April 17th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
Hi Everyone, God’s Blessings to you today! I have not read David’s book yet but look forward to it. Most of you are writitng rave reviews. I too believe there is a book in everyone and most of us have some knowlege worth sharing with others. We are all individuals and each have our own voice. While my talents and skill sets may or may not resonate with you. Yours may reach and enrich a whole different group of readers.
It’s not just about money, although as Zig Ziglar once said, ” Money isn’t Everything but it’s reasonably close to oxygen.” Your story may just be the catalyst to changing someones life for the better. If that life is changed, so will the lives of all who interact with that uplifted and changed person. So even though money is not evil the good you can pass on in your book is the biggest and best motivation to write. Money is just a blessing and by product that can help you live a more creative and secure lifestyle.
I have already started a book several months ago and am working on a workshop to launch soon. I am currently looking for Singles who are Seriously Seeking Lasting Love to complete a survey for a marketing class I am taking. If that sounds like you. and you are interested in taking my survey please contact me at DCherry@AFocusedLifeCoaching.com. I promise I will not try to sell you anything.
God Bless and happy writing.
April 17th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
I haven’t read the book yet, but in the next twleve months, I will be debt free, own the car I desireand help out my children more than I able to now. I am very excited to get this started!
April 17th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Hi David,
I rushed through your excellent ebook and made a lot of notes in parallel, because I´ve got a bunch of additional ideas.
I am working since about 18 months on my website covering contrarian time management ideas. I did this with SBI (Site Build It!) by Ken Evoy´s SiteSell.com, I am sure you know him. I studied his free ebook Make Your Links Work!(MYLW!) and other free literature. These are wonderful helpers to get the right ideas. However, your ebook is comparatively heavenly, compact and clear and doesn’t lead to confusion.
Now I am in a somewhat strange situation: I don’t have any reason to change my way with SBI. In my situation, it has been the best foundation to create an own website, and I have to check, how to weave the GetPaidForWhoYouAre, and maybe the Get Paid University steps into my current work.
I think there will be many people on earth facing a similar situation. Not everyone starts at zero. From your ebook, I am able to take out what I need and realize at my own pace. How would this be with the university?
Although your Get Paid University sounds convincing I have learned to finish valuable things first, instead of permanently starting something new and never reaching an end. Probably, in June I will look at the university for one free month to see, if there is a way to combine what I am doing now with your way.
Thanks David for another great tool! I have read most of your books so far.

i do not seem to have recieved the book yet
please help
April 17th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
David, loved your book; it was a constant supply of support and especially i loved the bit about not waiting until everything is perfect because that never happens and it made me feel so much more confident about starting my business in interiors. You have some amazing messages in your book.
In 12 months I will be in financial security, confident and busy with business and personal ambitions.
April 17th, 2010 at 5:17 pm
As a coach I am crystal clear on my niche and have put the word out in a succinct way and I’m finding that my order book is full and my work is making a highly positive difference in the lives of my clients and in the lives of their loved (and not so loved) ones.
I am clear about the first book I want to write in support of my niche and I am writing with great joy and energy and have found as world class publisher.
And my work sustains me financially, emotionally and in many other ways so that I am on a virtual upwards spiral.
And my creativity continues to blossom so that new ideas keep coming and turning into actions.
April 17th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
Thanks for the information! A year from now…I have sold my house moved into a class B RV, recorded 4 music cd’s of the songs I have written(2 are done),spent months in Austin playing clubs and planning my trip playing through Europe. I will be analizing handwriting on skype between gigs and selling my dehydrated sunflower sprout powder that I’ve been living on for the last 2 years that has 9 times the nutrition of the food everyone is eating now and written a book on how to change your health by eating enzymes in quantities similar to animals in the wild. And if Willie wants another hit he will have recorded one of my songs! Thanks again David and I’ll analyze your handwritting or a comparative analysis of you and someone else.
April 17th, 2010 at 5:29 pm
I have not read the book yet, I am currently reading another book, and give my full attention to each one I read. This is one next.
I am thankful and blessed now that I a stay at home mom of three beautiful, smart, lovable, children, and a wonderful supportive husband. I am the best mom, wife. I have the most beautiful organic garden that provides abundance of food, and increasing amounts of income. I now enjoy making my hair bows, tutus, bottle cap necklace, dog tags, and have so much fun with my embroidery machine, and new found love of sewing. I have all the time in the world. I am blessed to have increasing amounts of income from multiple source on a continuing basis. My family and friends are very loving, and supportive. Information is provided to me to continue to be on top of the world in my Paradise, that I share with with those who want the same. Much love and big hugs.
April 17th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
I haven’t read the book yet, but surely i will! I’m about to start my own business, something that i want for over a year now! When i started searching about making that business, i wasn’t sure enough that i could achieve, that i could make my dream come true. Honestly, i thought that it was something very difficult to do, i couldn’t believe it. But since i deeply believe it, took an inspired action and waited for that, i managed to do that! The solutions and the opportunities were coming to me like the wind! So now, i am ready to go for my next goal! And i believe that my new business will go very well and will give much more money! Lots of love from the beautifull Greece!
April 17th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
I have not yet read the book. In twelve months, I will be making money proofreading (reading for pay!), doing voice work (talking/reading for pay!) and writing kids books and history. I will love these “jobs” and they will allow me to irradicate debt and keep my fun full time job as an academic librarian!
April 17th, 2010 at 5:41 pm
Thank you for aiding and abetting my ability to bring the single straw revolution 2 to so many people who need to grow healthy food in and around their homes allowing me to live it too.
April 17th, 2010 at 5:43 pm
David,
Your book is an excellent summary of finding a good niche internet business – for anyone who has an idea of what is their motivation in life.
Personally I found the information a bit on the Lite side regarding the topic of really finding what is one’s personal passion and motivation – particularly for anyone in the midst of a significant life “transition” (as in the chapter about the “Dark night of the Soul” from Michael Beckwith’s book “Spiritual Liberation”). I had been expecting some more significant methods of re-Finding One’s Life Purpose, while continuing to process out of a multi-year “Dark night of the soul” experience”.
Thank you for the excellent encapsulation of the techniques and resources for developing one’s personal web sites.

Heartfull Thank to you, David, for sharing to us this book which I began to read, although I know that I will read it thoroghly later, when time is appropriate. However, this book has already had a boosting effect, a confidence-building effect on me, for which I’m most grateful. Your enhousiasm works like fire on the people who read you because, it awakenes one’s own passion.
My 12 Month Vision? it will be more likely a 24 month vision (presently I’m at hospital and handicapped for still a few more months…time to think..)
So in a 2 years time, I will write to you (I dream): Dear David, I feel that my autobiography, which is rapidly being a hit in the libraries because it deals about eating disorders on a profound and at the same time humouristic way,can help lots of people to deal end overcome this diease. I’m also grateful that through Seminars, Coaching and radio-talks, I can continue everyday to help others be happier and more conscious of their divine nature. It is generating various streams of income, which enable me to live easily and be generous with people who need it. I live a healthy and joyful life in the small village in Switserland where I just migrated, with friends. My boy-friend and I live not far away, and we see each other quite regularly, depending on the agenda of each one. In communion with all creatures, my awareness of God,or call it the cosmic intelligence, is deepening, transforming me and the people around me to a wider awareness that bypass the mental approaches because it is about Love, the Life vibration.
Best wishes to all here on this blog (what a great idea this blog!); wishing you all Light and Joy on you path to your passion..
April 17th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
Thank you David. I’ve read your book and recommended it to all my personal contacts. Your book provides valuable tips on how to follow your passion.
Twelve months ago, I didn’t know what to do or where to start. Today, my business is firmly established. Twelve months from now, I’ll be teaching shortcuts to financial wealth.
April 17th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Thank you . Haven’t read it yet, but I know what goes round comes round.
April 17th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
Soon, I will work on creating my website from scratch. I’m actually working at finding the right niche for me and your book is of great help in this regard.
The Restless Leg Syndrome is a subject of interest to me. I experienced this annoying pain myself and I know there are millions of people suffering from that as well without really knowing what it is and what they can do about it.
It was nice of you to publish and gave your book away so, please accept my most thank you for your kindness.
April 17th, 2010 at 6:13 pm
Well, i haven’t got teh website… YET!!!! I’m reading the book and I’m creating my success. I know in 12 months i’ll be bus with my new activity. In fact, I’m a writer so doing a newsletter – for instance – is no problem for me. i have lots of things to say! However, I’m not very good at the computer so… well, I go on reading! Thanks, David, for such a gift!
April 17th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
There is no one thing for everyone,
and also you can lead a horse to water but not make them drink,
It is like meditation, it’s common sense and yet many do not know how it works…
If you are one of those people, read it…

Hey!
I have read the book partially but I am eager to read more!
I promise I’ll hop by again to give you my review!
In the mean time I wanted you to know that I deeply appreciate what you are doing both for the world (us) and for the planet!
Thank you!
April 17th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
Thank you for the book. Great ideas. I’ll let you know how it goes.
April 17th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
So gracious of you to share & inspire!
Our new home – the base for my Spa business is splendid. My flow of clients is expanding exponentially and my products are being sent all over the world. I am employing others to assist me. All bills & debts are paid in full regularly and I appreciate every person in my life. There is ample time for my spiritual quests and I can tithe powerfully. So be it & so it is!
April 17th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
a good read must read it again and then
I will look forward to another email
thanks
April 17th, 2010 at 7:18 pm
Haven’t read the book yet but…..twelve months from now I’ll have published the book I’m working on now, thriving in a career as an inspirational speaker and presenter, have a flowing and prosperous platform via my website, products and services, and continuing to spread the love of Daisypower.
April 17th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Hey C.L., thank you for realistic and loving comment.
A year from now I trust my book is finished. It should be. THere are many family obligations in the way. But if I take it a day at a time and don’t lose focus, try to get to bed early and have enough sleep so I can wake up early and get writing done before the start of the busy busy day, my book should be finished within the next year.
After that, I will take the next project and work towards its finalisation. As these things of mine get ticked off, my life moves more and more towards the life I want, the life I hope for, plan for, believe will come.
I currently live in a big house, drive a new sort of car, have 2 beautiful dogs, plenty of clothes, enough to eat. I am extremely poor financially, but I have all these other things, which have just “come to me” in the most amazing ways, with me shuffling in the dust going “er, oh, gee, look I can’t afford this…” but all of them just glowing in front of me saying “I am here, I am for you to use, look after, pass on when ready….NOW.”
I believed it was all from the angels, from people who love me who have gone to the other side, from my own determination to be kind…don’t know exactly how I got into this situation, but here I am.
Gratitude moves the world. THank you C.L. More power to you. Elizabeth
April 17th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
Hi Mary did you get a response to this because I also could not find it??
April 17th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
This book is one of the best entrepreneurial/small business books I have ever seen in its genre. I love it so much that:
a. I am actually APPLYING it to my work
b. I have sent the link to get the book to 35 people and counting.
I am a strategy consultant and my target is entrepreneurs and small business owners. This book is at the top of my list now for tools to assist my clients and others I meet. Thank you, David!
April 17th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
A “PS”:
I forgot that this is where you state your “three lines”–sorry David! Here are mine:
By 12/31/10, my first video and audio series will be completed, up online and bringing in enough revenue to easily cover my basic expenses! It also has been leading to increased requests for being hired for workshops and private consulting work in all of my areas of expertise. Thank you David!!
April 17th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
My 3 lines: By adding a CD and/or DVD series to my 12-week workbook “Out of Recovery & Into Living Your Dreams” I will have enough sales to quit my “day” job and start reaching out to addicts full-time. Will have finished my book for teens, with a corresponding book for the parents. Will have the freedom to travel and speak wherever I want! Yeah!!
April 17th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Recently my publishing contract for my book got cancelled, and since I started reading your book I decided to sell the book myself on my own website. I don’t know how I am going to do this but I know it’s going to happen.
Thanks for the inspiration.
P.S. My book is so controversial that it got cancelled by traditional company because they failed to see that controversy = money!
April 17th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
Hi,
What is it that I want?, What’s the vision? It will be described later. OK?
I will complete the reading of the book tonight. I got stopped from creating a business plan. What’s the use of it, if the intent is to offer a product from the internet. There is not much need of financial assistance, just personnal commitment to make the time to create the solution.
I am not used to “blog”, it will be my first message on this tool. Thanks for insisting to get me committed to my intention. So, I will get back soon, after the reading of the book.
Cheers,
France
April 17th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
I have not read the book yet…..and I may not be totally clear on everything I want…….and here goes:)
In 12 months or less, I am extremely wealthy (meaning more than 20 million dollars in the bank). I live in a very comfortable and warm climate. I am surrounded by a very supportive community. I have some sort of a home school co-op/tutoring/creative/therapeutic non-profit or for profit business going. This business/passion will be for all children. My home is near water. I own 10+ acres and have horses and other animals. I am court free. I have won the custody battle for my 3 adopted children and they remain in my care. My children are emotionally stable and Anna has learned how to control her aggressive behaviors. I have won my other court case. I have at least one live in nanny. My children are home schooled. I am clear about the status of my current relationship. I have a new car (BMW or Mercedes) and van (Honda or Toyota sienna). I am inspired and live in harmony with my true nature. Bliss, Bliss, Bliss, Bliss:):):):):)
April 17th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
FREEDOM NINJA! Yeah! 68 and counting! Age that is. Travelled in other countries.
Speak about 5+ languages. Experienced communication specialist. Three VW engines
rebuilt under my belt. Two gorgeous adult children. Two grandsons so far! Tao Kwon Do student. Hangglider pilot. Computer user, of course. Poet. Writer. on & on &

April 17th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
In 12 months, I have figured out what my intellectual property is and how to market it successfully. I have begun to earn copious amounts of money and am experiencing the true abundance the universe has to offer. My daughter is happy that I am lighter and more care free, and I am enjoying my new love relationship for the first time in years! Life is good and I am ever optimistic about the future!!!!!
I have yet to finish the book but look forward to it…
April 17th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
i want a business that helps people take advantage of what is already in their hands.
i want to build a team of analysts and project managers that can go into an organization and help it transform into one of the most influential in their industry.
i want to create opportunities for my children to us whats in their hands for optimum success.
this is my 1st attempt at clarifiying what i want.
April 17th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
I am the Executive Director of a non-profit educational and alternative healing center. At present I am working as a volunteer. I would like to see myself guiding this organization to success so that I may get paid from them.
I have not read the book yet. There isn’t a lot of time at the office and I do not have a computer at home right now.
April 17th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
Cool and very refreshing perspective! I can see this could be within your sights realistically. Good luck!
April 17th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Hi All!
I am totally enjoying the book. I have read others in the same vein, but find this one a real winner!! I am working in Section B, “Finding your niche” and doing all the exercises. It just hit me that I should and would like to coach with over weight people. I wasn’t considering that group, but it makes perfect sense. I am a personal growth coach with a passion to help others discover and dissolve the hidden beliefs that block ability to move forward in life. Since I’ve had weight issues, I think this may be the perfect niche for me. Thanks and GOOD LUCK to the rest of you. We are not ALONE!
April 17th, 2010 at 9:20 pm

I would like to eft

April 17th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
Me? Well, my business plan is sitting on my desk – it’s blank right now – so I see myself completing it this week and the end goal is to create passive income that exceeds my living expenses within 10 years. I plan to achieve this goal by helping others get out of debt and build their future. I am more driven to help than money, but I must first be able to afford to help, thus the passive income goal. I peeked at the book, but no chance to read it yet.
April 17th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
EFT works for weight loss too,
Check youtube.
Blessings in moving your life forward.

My mission is to have critical thinking after school and on weekends workshops in every community for grades k-8 where children can come to discover their life path. We can end poverty through working with young children to give them the opportunity to discover their skills and talents. They will learn from a young age that we are all one and that through their individual contribution, the world can become a better world for all.
April 17th, 2010 at 9:57 pm
Namaste’ and thank you sir for sharing your gifts with the world!!
So, thus far what I have read… the book is amazing!!!
To answer your question:
Right now I am a public school teacher and in 12 months I want to be doing the following of my passions full time and earning a prosperous financial living doing them – I am already a certified holistic life coach and reiki master and in 12 months I want a thriving practice where I am coaching and giving reiki to clients / I am a visual artist and in 12 months I want to have a gallery showing where I am selling my work and begin working on publishing a book of my art / I am a professional American Sign Language teacher and Performing artist and in 12 months I want to be touring the USA teaching and performing for both hearing and deaf audiences / I am a metaphysical minister and in 12 months I want to begin the next step of having a thriving church and school teaching others metaphysical principles to living a more abundant spiritual life/ And finally in this 12 months I want to be transitioning out of the public school system into the life I truly desire!! So in 12 months I want to be on my way more actively in the that new direction!!. . . YES!!
April 17th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
Great idea !! Education should be empowering . Investing in children in an internal way is the key to a better future.
April 17th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
In 12 months I want to be helping people heal through various therapies in a center located in a rural setting . Co-ordinating seminars and workshops which help people find meaning in their lives. Also recording music with a message in my own studio and playing together with my kids!
April 17th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
I am well on my way into creating the career that I’ve always wanted..thank you so much for this wonderful book!
April 17th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
I am writing as requested for the receipt of your free book. I have just 29 days before I am evicted from my abode. Thank for your book and I will read it with the intent to perhaps alter my present circustances. No money, job, or place to live.
Michael
April 17th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
I have not read the book, I am waiting for my copy to arrive in the mail.
In 12 months, I will be traveling between countries that I have never been to before helping people realize their true hidden potential (maybe even working with Bernard or many others on this blog!!)… The simplicity of my presence will help many people release resistance in their lives and allow me to join them in discovering not only their true passions but also that they have the power and capability to live their love. I will collaborate with the greatest teachers and sponge up as much knowledge and understanding as i can and then wring my towel down upon those beautiful souls who have asked for the help that my passion draws me to answer for them.
April 17th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
Got it! Finally found it in email….
Now I have read some and am sending it onto my son. Donating is a new deal.
I’m feeling more like a freedom ninja! Yes.
April 17th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
In 12 months, I hope to have more balance in my life. This is a huge challenge for me especially with regard to my personal health. My 9-5 is important but absolutely saps my energy. I love working with kids and homelife. In 12 months, I hope to be able to spend more time doing both and will perhaps have more time for these things if I build my business.
April 17th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
I make social justice documentary films
It takes so long to get a project up and running- by the time you finance it, prep it shoot it and post it. The last one took 3 yrs of my life and the one before that – 7 yrs.
In 12 months time, I will be at the helm of a Film production co. that a dedicated Philanthropist has taken on as a personal “project” , and whose financial support guarantees the production budgets back to back- so the projects flow together, from one to another- like an unobstructed clear and beautiful stream. With guaranteed resources in place we can continue to develop new ideas,get product out there faster- and make so much more of an impact on Peace globally- by sharing stories of Compassion, Tolerance, Respect, Courage, Teamwork and Anti Bullying…to todays youth, who are tomorrows leaders.
April 17th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
Uh Oh! I just reread your email and discovered that you asked about TWELVE MONTHS from now and not 10 years. I should read carefully next time. Twelve monhths from now, God willing, my art studio will be not only ready but thriving with new classes in Basic Watercolor, Basic Acrylic Painting,some craft & sewing classes and a couple of children’s classes 2 to 4 days a week, including some evenings. AND my writing studio will be organized and at least one or two articles will have been published, and I will no longer need outside part-time work repair my 50-year-old home. Upgrading my website will help facilitate these changes. Life will be peaceful; I will be able to work with World Bible School a full day a week.
April 17th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
Congrats on making your first blog post France – I’m honored
April 17th, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Karen – glad to see you creating! And that would certainly make a great success story.
Now – is this vision also realistic for you? i.e. do you already have 15 million and a massive infrastructure for generating another $5 million?
If yes, perfect. If not, I suggest you make it a slight stretch, but doable. That’s the difference between a dream you’re creating, and a fantasy
April 17th, 2010 at 11:33 pm
Penelope – I’m a hangglider pilot too! And at 68!? Boy – looking forward to more success stories from you
April 17th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
Hi Tracy – great to see you creating.
And – I want to make it clear to everyone that very few people will have ‘copious’ amounts of money after 12 months. And extra $1,000-$3,000 per month is much more achievable for the average person. And – the very few who work much harder are more likely to generate the higher results.
Just wanting to give everyone a reality check.
April 17th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
the first step’s worth celebrating
April 17th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
nice niche! Perhaps you could narrow it even further?
April 17th, 2010 at 11:39 pm
practical, realistic – I like it Deborah.

I’m not suggesting we create from a place of discontent at all. Creating from a place of appreciation is much more fun. And there’s always room to have more – how cool is that?

My passion lies in recognizing that words are music for the eyes and the soul. Some have even called me a master wordsmith. But my passion does not lie in using words like a conventional writer; is that an oxymoron? I just don’t have the imagination to dream up and write fiction, or even to create non-fictional works.
What I do best is to take others’ words and work my magic on them. To make what they are trying to say clearer, to remove redundancies, and even to abbreviate others’ writings to accomodate a world with an increasingly short attention span. In a word (actually a phrase), to turn such people’s words into well-honed weapons that stimulate the interest of their readers so that they read what is written (a document, a sales promotional flyer, or even a book) right to its end, usually without putting it down in the middle or even earlier. And, as a result of reading my words, readers respond to the writer’s message. So, what do you want re-written that will help you fulfil your passion?
April 17th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
Hi Todd,
Doubt is natural.
Without doubt, what you produce would have no value.
Chapter 4 will show you how to set up a website.
Chapters 3 and 5 will help you stand out.
I will admit, if you don’t create time for your new venture – at least one hour a day for 3 months, then should definitely question the ‘reality and practicality’ of it all, because it won’t and can’t happen.
April 17th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
now that’s specific!
April 17th, 2010 at 6:00 pm

I describe myself as an instigator (meant in a positive way) and a zealous nut. My husband becomes alarmed when I say “I’ve been thinking…” He knows that I’m onto another “project.” I’m very good at getting jobs that don’t pay anything, aka, volunteer jobs. Now I’d like to turn my passions towards helping people jump start their small businesses and get paid for it! I want to develop a series of products that give value and practical inspiration to others. I’ve only skimmed through the ebook, but like what I’m seeing. I’ll be inspired by the content for sure. Thanks.
April 17th, 2010 at 7:18 pm
right on Mary! btw you can produce a CD within a week and make more money from it than a book which takes 12 months
Something to think about.

Hi David, In 12 months I will own my own successful, profitable personal training business on the Gold Coast, helping people to feel healthy, confident and empowered. I will also have new, fulfilling relationships with amazing people and live a life full of excitement, love, joy and passion.

In twelve months I’d have my health issues behind me. I’d have at least one book written that would be helpful to people on sale with a website and blog. In a year I’d have enough income to handle my expenses. I’ve had a lot of life experience and am an excellent coach and consultant. I’d like to share what I’ve learned with other people e.g. communication skills, illness and personal transformation, alternative healing approaches, creative expression, organizing & planning, Chinese medicine, divorce, interpersonal relationships. I’d like to have coaching clients who are a good fit for what I offer and a few coaching groups going (telephone or web). I’d like to be part of a community of like minded people who are interested in social change, the arts, spirituality, consciousness. I’d like to get back to music again with composing/songwriting. Oh yes, in twelve months I’d like to finish my dissertation, now on hold due to medical leave. My life will continue to be in balance with time for self care, creative work, friendships and daily gratitude. I want passive income from books and products i develop or collaborate with others on developing. As I get my basics taken care of I’d like to do a radio show, maybe a cable show and be more involved in social change projects. Each day is a glorious gift.
April 17th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
it’s interesting what’s in the eye of the beholder, no?
Some people see the book as salvation, and one woman thinks I’m dishonest because she got an email calling her by her first name and couldn’t work out how I had it (she forgot she entered her billing details).
I’d like to see everyone on this blog practice strong, attraction-based marketing with integrity.

Unni – you see it as an invasion because you’re subscribed to a bunch of newsletters you don’t have time to read.
But what about the people are are genuinely hungry for your information? Are you going to rip them off by not providing simple, valuable content?
Could you give them the respect of deciding for themselves what they will read and what they will not?

April 18th, 2010 at 12:46 am
Wow,
This is such an empowering thing to do . Great Idea!
My vision for my future….Well, changing the world obviously, but I’m a realist as well as an optimist, so I’m happy to do this one person at a time. I want to increase positivity so more of us feel fulfilled and have fun. Fun is vital to my next 12 months and beyond! I want to focus on those of us embarking on the middle half of our life.The young are full of zest and optimism about what they want to do in the world and it’s right that they should go out there and experience their thing but the middle years often bring a sense of loss, disillusionment and confusion about who we are and where exactly we’re going. I want to run workshops, Retreats and one to one coaching with these people to bring the fun and sparkle back.

Thank you so much for your book, I had just started a business but had been stuck on how to go all about it. Your book gave me a step by step plan and expressed what I had been feeling for a long time.
We have just put up a free offer and am excited to see the response. Thank you so much.

I have not started reading your book as I am currently reading a fascinating book titled ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napleon Hill.
I have started my journey on becoming a Motivational Speaker but I want to accellerate it. I have done two seminars and the feedback was excellent so I wondered why I was not making the effort to market myself. I thought procrasination was one of my killers but recenly I discovered that my own issue is about a core pain associated with my sensing that I was of little ‘value’ to my parents when I was a child. One of my strongest unbalanced belief which has developed as a result was a core belief ‘I am not valuable’. I guess that if ‘I’ think ‘I’ am not valuable, that’s what I am telling the Universe right? Any suggestions on countering this core belief? I want to get paid for my seminars but I am only attracting forums where the Speakers are not charged and the attendants are also not charged.
April 18th, 2010 at 3:08 am
Yvonne, You should know that I’m planning on makeing the Think & Grow Rich principles into a CEREUS MOVIE.
If this is of interest to you let me know K. The unstated secret is to have an IDEA. I have a dream now of forming WUN that illustrates the 17 Principles that success requires. I.m stating a movement to take away the I and become the WE or US.
April 18th, 2010 at 3:24 am
Naomi, You sound like youre ready for CEREUS – A dream ive been planning on for 40 years. Would you be interested in helping develop it?
April 18th, 2010 at 3:52 am
My wife and I are in our70ties but are very much alive She is recovering from treatment for cancer and we appreciate that life has much to offer
I want to be able to be free of pressing financial needs
I want to be able to help some of the many who need spiritual,emotional and other help and encouragement To make a difference in peoples lives
April 18th, 2010 at 3:55 am
Frank, Would you be interested in writing the script for CEREUS.(A DREAM Ive been planning for 30 odd years.)
My current goal is to start http://www.worldunite now.us and in the future form WUN, a band, to illustrate the Principles of Think & Grow Rich on a world tour. Removing I to become WE (or US) is my Vision. Perhaps an opportunity for you Farnk…..

I haven’t read the book yet (I will!) but by this time next year I will have given my notice at work (hooray!) that I will be resigning at the end of July to pursue part time, more flexible work, coaching and other things I want to get into. I will have met my current work goals I have been given & whatever else I need to. I will have hopefully made even more close friendships with others into law of attraction in London, wider U.K. USA and perhaps other places & yes this includes meeting them! My husband and I will have travelled to New York, Virginia & Dubai. And I will have lost at LEAST another 5 kgs (10 lbs).
April 18th, 2010 at 4:00 am
Corrected the website. I haven’t read the book yet (I will!) but by this time next year I will have given my notice at work (hooray!) that I will be resigning at the end of July to pursue part time, more flexible work, coaching and other things I want to get into, including helping hubby promote his furniture business: http://qkitchensndesign.moonfruit.com. I will have met my current work goals I have been given & whatever else I need to. I will have hopefully made even more close friendships with others into law of attraction in London, wider U.K. USA and perhaps other places & yes this includes meeting them!

April 18th, 2010 at 5:13 am
Hi, I’ve read about 1/3 of your book, and as a frmer actuary myself (ASA only), I’d like to compliment you for your open mindedness and the breadth of what you are doing. I beleive, thoguh that you are reaching out to a lot of people but will actually hek only a few of those who read the book. But that is hardly a surprise.
April 18th, 2010 at 5:20 am
I haven’t read book yet, After 12 months from now I am confident and great in internet marketing, I have book, newsletter, website I am active on Facebook and Twitter, have fabulous friends around the world, sharing my ideas and helping the planet, Im sure this book will help me with all that. Thank you.
April 18th, 2010 at 5:23 am
Hi David -Thanks for the book – I am excited by the opportunites that this presents – I am already to move forwards towards fredom.
April 18th, 2010 at 5:24 am
Hi
Got the ebook thank you and what I have read so far is very interesting. I will post again when I have completed the reading.
Have a terrific day and look forward hearing more from you
Best wishes

I am working very hard at getting paid for who I am. I wrote a memoir that I have been trying to get published and I releases it as an ebook to get the ball rolling. In 12 months I will be a well known author, living in my dream home, writing more books.
My memoir demonstrates the law of attraction in action in my life and how I went from a life of turmoil to one of joy.
April 18th, 2010 at 6:14 am
YES! I have the book and am delighted. It is similar to other things I’ve been involved with, but fresh and new and very timely as my internet marketing efforts for the past 6 years are coming together!
IN 12 MONTHS I have quite my day job, allowing me to pursue what God has given me to people around the world with my de-tox tea (www.MyMiracleTea.com) that helps people not only lose weight, it increases energy and helps with a host of issues for people of all ages: from colicky babies to constipated seniors. A clean colon is the mother of ALL working bodily functions.
With my first website, http://www.MyWeightLossFriend.com,(2004) I established myself as a writer and provider of encouragment for those who need to lose weight (I got my start as a WEight Watchers Leader) A self-published book (60 Seconds to Weight Loss Success) provided more writing opportunities on a much bigger level, and many new friends/customers.
THEN: It has all culminated in being able to share one of God’s finest gifts: an herbal de-tox tea (www.MyMiracleTea.com) that helps people overcome stomach and digestive issues, curb cravings, lose weight, eliminate.
With my 2 years of sharing this, I have become the “go-to” person — Knowing all the top dogs, the formulater, doing the weekly national testimonial calls and acquiring hundreds of testimonials from my own customers.
But STILL the company is just starting and so many people need it. And I am STILL working at my day-time job – without the time to pursue this they way I want to.
I’m excited because the material in this book will allow me to share this product in a much bigger way. It is the Universe/God’s way of saying
“If you don’t – who WILL share this in a huge way?”
So thanks — and I hope to hear from any of you at this site. The product is phenomenal. We have people who have cured cancer and are off life-time prescription drugs for blood pressure and nasty, nasty things.
April 18th, 2010 at 6:18 am
I got your book and I just started reading it. I wrote an ebook about how I got through a horrible breakup. When I was going through it I was looking for such a book that could help me feel better immediately. I wasn’t able to find one so I wrote one. I used EFT (emotional freedom technique) and the Law of Attraction. Its a book of tapping scripts to clear out the negative emotions and thought patterns and then attraction games to attract a better relationship like the one I have now. In twelve months I would like this book to be a best seller and sell over a million copies. I have another book in me and I would like that one to be a success too
April 18th, 2010 at 6:18 am
Haven’t completed the book. A year ago I quit my job and became a Certified Professional Co-Active Life Coach. Twelve months from now I hope to have workshop curricula create to personally share with others to help them spiral upwards in their level of self awareness, self acceptance and self expression. The intent is to draw people out of their sleep-like states into an awareness of the importance of the body-mind-spirit connection within themselves and with everything in the Universe which, I hope, will lead people to perceptive and realistic views regarding conservation, sustainability and peace on our planet. Namaste’
April 18th, 2010 at 6:27 am
I started reading your book and it is really great!
I’ll be doing programs EFT4Kids in schools in Hebrew.
There is work to be done as I have to translate ideas into Hebrew.
I did 2- 3rd grade classes and it was great
I made a proffesional rap cd. about the feeling of anger for kids.
What you wrote about coaching all over and working really hard- made me think!
I would love to start a site and I have to really study that part of the game.
Being 65 and having learned the computer just 8 years ago I have to do EFT in order to overcome the “I won’t be able to…” fear.
I am getting my immediate family -11 kids and 56 grandchildren to help me get started
All the best
Miriam
April 18th, 2010 at 6:36 am
Hi Carolyn,
Sounds like you are well on your way to curing the world! I’m just about to look at your website; but wanted to contact you in search of a Freedon Buddy for my own proposed website. I haven’t created one yet; but am a cultural creative by nature so am looking forward to the opportunity.
Currently trying to quit a career as an Accounting Technician to become a Poetry Therapist.
Hope to speak to you later

Hi Miriam,
it is so good to hear from an ‘elderly’ person far away in Israel, how we all have the same beliefs and have the courage to move on. I live in Mexico (native German), am 64 years young and learnt also EFT and The Work with Byron Katie – worthwhile to check her page http://www.thework.com -. To create a website is also a challenge, but my son already posted me some affordable links. If i can help you, pls. don’t hesitate to write. Great love to you!!!
April 18th, 2010 at 6:54 am
Hi David,
i feel so wonderful, how you care about our move. And here my flexible vision for the next 12 months:
I see myself expanding to people who are in a moment of change, inside and outside. My changes were profound and some really radical – and i don’t regret. So this is what i share having my tools: lots of experiences, EFT, The work of Byron Katie, being a good listener, intuitive and still learning, studying…, loving change and insecurity, which has its counterpart inside me. I am more flexible, travelling at ease and getting to know more people all over the world. I love life!
April 18th, 2010 at 7:02 am
Thank you so much for the book David (and offering to donate money to such a great cause), what you’re doing is very inspiring.
In 12 months, I would have helped made a success the 2 Music Festivals I and other youth are creating (celebrities such as Adam Beach have expressed interest in attending). These events are designed to empower youth to make positive lifestyle choices and build bridges of unity between nations.
One of these events is in partnership with the Winnipeg Folk Festival and my mentor Dave Courchene, a few others and I are organizing it right now (just got the go ahead last week).
All of these events are aimed at Aboriginal youth, because there are dozens of issues plaguing our communities and no one has stepped forward with a real solution yet… despite organizations such as the Delancey Street Foundation having a 93% success rate in reforming criminals, murderers, and drug addicts.
My people deal with alcoholism, suicide, violence, gangs, and solvent abuse on a daily basis. I’ve been traveling Canada speaking to Aboriginal youth for the past 4 years (who love the message I share) and trying to get our leaders to pay attention to my message (to no avail).
But I haven’t given up, even when I recently lost my brother Eric due to his alcohol problem. The story was talked and blogged about as far as Singapore, and the people of Winnipeg opened their minds and hearts to those suffering with these addictions (when previously there was only resentment and ridicule).
Eric and I made plans in the last few months of his life. I told him that his life story would go out to the world and millions of people will be changed by it. We talked about the places we’d see, the things we’d do, and the people who’d benefit. Last month, I called my other brother and asked him to help me in helping Eric overcome his drinking problem. I had a great book to help with that too, but it was too late – he died later that day.
I vowed to never wait another day ever again – that if I ever regret something ever again, it would be for something that I did, not for something that I didn’t do.
It’s been hard, but our cultural beliefs give us faith that there will be a brighter day and that Eric did come here for a reason. My mom just knew that he was going to help our people in a big way when she was pregnant with him.
Within 12 months, I will have gathered some of the greatest minds, leaders, and experts to share their knowledge on how we can empower ourselves and others so people can begin to dream and move towards those dreams. I’ve planned to do this seminar for years now, and I’m not going to wait another day to take action on it.
I’m attending an event in May where spiritual leaders from all over the world are coming to share their knowledge(this event is by invitation only). Is it a coincidence that I was invited to this event, where I’d have the chance to enlist the support of the kind of people I was looking for? I believe everything happens for a reason…
I have a lot of goals, and these are the ones that I see myself achieving this year (watch for me in the upcoming years – these plans will inspire millions to help change the world).
Thank you for the opportunity for us to share our goals and visions.

For the moment all I can say is a very BIG Thank You! Your book arrived at a most opportune time.I quickly did the ‘once over’ and I will read it now from beginning to end.
April 18th, 2010 at 7:16 am
I am sorry to say that I did not receive your book.
I was loking forward to reading it.
I am a retired bank manager. I do volunteer work by visiting liver transplant patients and other spontaneous help actions where I see the need. I am the proud grandma X 6 of 2 fantastic sons and their loving wives. I have a collection of stories of how I learned to overcome distressing episodes in my life through Gratitude and JOY. I am known as the JOY freak in some circles you see.
April 18th, 2010 at 7:20 am
A few things. One is to build my residual income in my business so I can more fully pay for my passion which is to do with children. Am working out the best way to get my book out there (website, ebook or ?)- which is to do with successful parenting – I have 9 children (grown now) and they all did their jobs without any nagging or reminding. I also write rock/folk songs and want them released and birthday cards for children that are completely different. AND I want to get parenting classes taught in all schools from primary onwards. I am doing volunteer work for 2 organisations to do with children.
April 18th, 2010 at 7:22 am
I have started reading the book. It’s electrifying. I have also secured a Freedom Buddy to whom I would pass on a copy of the book soon. My skills center around public speaking and motivational topics. I love doing that. I see myself as a facilitator. I inspire others but I have not been successful financially.
In 12 mths I want to be an accomplished Public Speaker, a motivational coach, operating through an established business and get paid for doing what I do. I have already registered the business and would to develop a website and the rest of things that are necessary
April 18th, 2010 at 7:35 am
Hello Yvonne! I hope you accept this gift because I know it’ll help… it’s weird that you just so happen to have this limiting belief and my friend Morty Lefkoe of the Lefkoe Institute is offering a free sample of his belief change-work program – one of which is eliminating the belief “I’m not good enough”.
http://www.recreateyourlife.com/free/
He’s helped 45,000 around the world overcoming limiting beliefs and is a man who has a heart of gold. He truly wants to help others and his actions reflects that – he offered 600 copies of his life changing program ($150,000 worth at just the cost of production which I’m raising money for) for free to my people, whom I’m helping overcome suicide, depression, violence, poverty and gangs.
I sincerely hope you take advantage of his free offer, I know it’ll help you get past a lot of obstacles currently holding you back. Good luck and all the best!
April 18th, 2010 at 7:36 am
Hi David,
Many thanks for the book. I have read it. I think I’m possibly ahead of it in some ways. I’ve had a website since 2004 and a newsletter since 2002. What I’ve been doing I’ve been happily doing for free and now the time has come for me to think about establishing an income in some way (not necessarily related to what I’ve been doing, but looking at a way to leverage what I have already done would be an obvious option). My aspirations are complicated to explain. What I’d really like is to meet a “kindred spirit” of some sort in person, so if you know of anybody in or near Canberra, please let me know.
Thanks again and best wishes.
April 18th, 2010 at 7:44 am
That’s an amazing dream Jake, one that I can relate to… I have the same dream! Maybe we could collaborate in some way, I do have a lot of plans and it would be great to get to know you and your goals a bit more.

Hi David,
I received your book but I haven’t looked at it yet.
I have recently taken the leap of faith, quit my day job and I am working on creating my business which is as a business coach.
I less than 12 months I will have a full practise of approximately 30 ideal paying clients, 2 webinars a month, attending at least 4 networking events as well as re-lauching one in my area, doing a boot camp for females in business, blogging consistently, re-vamping my website with lots of free stuff, speaking at 3 networking events per month.
All this has been laid out in my quarterly planners which I also provide for my clients.
I have your coach start system and I also receive your newsletter. I always love hearing what your doing next.
Take care,
In Success,
Loretta @ Golden Key Coaching
April 18th, 2010 at 7:51 am
I agree, that’s a powerful mission statement (puts the way I expressed my goals to shame… lol, but at least I learned something valuable!).
I really resonate with your message and feel like we need to keep in touch because I’d really like to help you, who knows what will develop over time.
If you’re up to it, you can reach me at dallascourchene@hotmail.com
I’ve been thinking of creating a facebook page where people like us could gather and share ideas, resources, etc, because there’s a lot of dedicated people who need that support of like minded people. I hope you accept my offer and wish you all the best in your goals!
All the Best,
Dallas

Hey James,
Just got on the blog and i share some of your passions. I intent to be an Inspirational speaker. I am also a recording artist with 2 albums under my belt.(www.hughtoner.com) Am currently taking an entry level coaching certificate on the web.I love this book
…very clear and easy to implement.
April 18th, 2010 at 8:09 am
Wow did this book every come along at the right time!! I have a day profession (owner) but many passions that have been brewing for years! My passions seemed to surface more fully after I had some kind of “shift in my awareness” back in 2007. Since then, I have expanded my business, recorded 2 CDs (recording artist … see http://www.hughtoner.com …), started inspirational speaking…
I have also signed up for and started an entry level coaching course.
I am even inspired to write a book about my shift!!
I know it sounds like a lot at once but I’m not stressed…it has been brewing in me for some time BUT how do I tie all this into a neat package to market?
April 18th, 2010 at 8:09 am
Hey David,
Hey , I did start reading your book and got to page 7 but got side tracked and will be finishing it up. I have already started to get paid for who I am and remarkably your book offer came after I started this venture. I am in the networking business and taking the first step is the most crucial because it allows momentum to take over and the people and the events will show up. It’s like when your ready, everything else in the universe is ready and have been waiting on you to step into the new YOU. Thanks for your work and I will read the entire book and implement any suggestions you may have.
Peace,
Bryant

Hi David,
wanted to mention when I ordered the book for some reason the link got stuck and would’t take my donation. Can you
instruct me how I can get some money off to you. Great work – keep it up.
You are a wonderful role model for web-design too, I love the feel!

April 18th, 2010 at 8:33 am
Hi Dallas,
Check out my blog above but more importantly I am a recording artist (one of my passions) and on my website http://www.hughtoner.com you’ll see a write-up where we started a society in Nova Scocia called “Loving Our Youth” and one of my inspirations for that was some of the serious problems faced by many youth (including Micmac reserves close to us here). For awareness we are selling red wrist bands with the words “Just Be” ($2)to remind youth they only need to be who they are. My solo album theme is the same
Check it out!!
PS Congrats on all your successes…it is certainly worth it!
Hugh
April 18th, 2010 at 8:34 am
that nourishes our cultural connection – for anyone to contribute until each sonnet crystalises. Alongside this I’d teach acrostics and learn about other people’s passions
April 18th, 2010 at 8:42 am
wow Royston that really sounds like a winner!
That book is based on VERY sound principles.
Best of luck, I know I’ll watch it when it’s out!!

April 18th, 2010 at 8:45 am

Awesome book! It has re-energized me to get out of my day-to-day working frame of mind and create a freedom based income stream… great stuff!
April 18th, 2010 at 8:59 am
Hi David, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom this way! I received my copy of your ebook two days ago and finished reading it today! – it’s awesome, simple and easy, and bl*ddy brilliant!!!
In 12 months I see myself helping and inspiring thousands of people and being financially very well rewarded for doing what I l o v e doing, i.e. inspiring others on how to deliberately use the Law of Attraction (the Secret) in their every day life, so that they get what they want and have even their wildest dreams come true.
Oh boy, it feels amazing envisioning this

Hi David, I complete your book in a one day. The book was remarkable, and provided me with the exact tools and inspiration I need to provide location, time, financial, and inner freedom. I have been working on getting Paid for Who I Am for a while now, but did not have a clear road-map on how to get there. After successfully complete a controversial weight loss program transforming my body and restoring my good health. I began to provide a free resource for other looking to do the same from a blog I created.
I gave out my phone number and invited people to call me anytime and ask any question they had about the diet and how to get all of the information they needed.
I have built a fairly large following and found so mush joy and satisfaction for be of service. This is completely different from anything I have ever done and is my passion. Your book has now provided me with the knowledge to be able to join my new venture with two charities that are close to my heart the American Diabetic Association and the American Heart Association. Because, both of my parents and grant parents are diseased and died from either Diabetic related complications or heart failure, because of this diet, and my new weight loss has reversed possibilities of that same fate happening to me.
My goal now is to create a membership site with a series of CD’s EBooks’, and MP3 products designed to help anyone struggling with weight loss, to successfully complete this diet protocol and offer long term support to keep the weight off. Therefore experiencing FREEDOM; so my wife and family and I can run our business from the Island of Anguilla and donate a portion of our proceeds to these two charities in honor of my parents. Thank you so much for providing a tool that transforms dreams into reality!
April 18th, 2010 at 9:13 am
Thank you for your comment David. It shows you are ‘really’ involved in your project here. Thank you also Elizabeth. Your comments are very thoughtful & appreciated.
Like you mentioned David, there is always room for more.
I am definitely coming from a different direction altogether. I appreciate work for works sake & am very ‘task’ orientated too (sometimes to my distraction) – but have found that purpose of choice far outweighs the task of doing. Doing for doing’s sake depreciates in value the further you go with it. It presents a constant circle of motion that generates more motion. Pretty soon enough is never enough. Having gone thru that – I am no longer looking for more of that.
BUT having said all of that … we are all on a journey spiritually, soulfully, & naturally. So I see you & hear you & appreciate you nevertheless. Honesty tells me to honestly speak to what is at hand.
Peace & Love

How do I get back to click off notify of recieved mail – as I am getting everypost. I had clicked that box but can’t find where to unclick it.
April 18th, 2010 at 9:40 am
David, I have only read the first chapter, and I feel marvelously inspired. Your book speaks to me because it is not focused so much on what I can GET as on what I can GIVE.
I have been turned off by other books teaching similar, solid strategies but coming from a more limited and self-centered vision, or books that instruct us how to create personal liberty and wealth by becoming smarter about exploiting the labor of others.
Thank you for writing such a practical book from a place of great and generous vision. I am grateful for what you are contributing!
So, twelve months from now, I will have made my first two cd’s, and they will be helping people immensely. In very practical, immediately accessible, simple ways, they will provide tools for people to easily begin to integrate yoga, mindfulness, and centering exercises, and heart practices into their days, throughout the day. I will have written an ebook in collaboration with a peer that offers clarity and guidance where it is much needed. And I will be working on a larger book project with great inspiration, clarity, and focus.
All of these enterprises will reach an audience that benefits deeply from them, and their value will be received and reflected back by their growing circle of influence and financial success.
I will be training my replacement for my “day job” and creating the schedule, life structure, and circumstances that allow me to offer my deepest gifts as well as to continue to develop them.
Also, exciting and valuable collaborations will be birthing!
Thank you!

How delightful, Francine! From one joy freak to another, cheers!
April 18th, 2010 at 9:48 am
Beautiful Rakshita! I can feel your sincere and loving inspiration. I stand here with you, excited for you to create more opportunities to offer these gifts of yours and to be deeply supported in doing so. All the best to you!
April 18th, 2010 at 9:53 am
David,
Thank you for your new book! It is helpful to have you lay out the ground work to start a movement.
I am competing for a book deal and would appreciate if you’d check out my short video spiel and give feedback. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!

Hi David,
I LOVE your VISION and your Book! (Are you connected to the folks at I.B.I.? I met Jack C. at IBI and he endorsed my first book, “Children of Light.”
I just finished Book 2 in the series – “Parallel Worlds” a spiritual fantasy for young adults and teens (and anyone who enjoys a Harry Potter-type adventure!)
I already have a site and many things in place that you suggested, but you gave me quite a few more ideas – thank you for that!
Much love, Heather
in Antigua, Guatemala
p.s. I just passed your book on to 4,000 people.
April 18th, 2010 at 9:54 am
Dear david i have not recieved my book to date, but i am sure it is forthcoming i became a qualified life coach but most importantly bucause of my own experiences, i would love to write about my life i came from living in a dirt shack to meeting mayors,doctors,lawyers and the likes,i am very passionate about abuse in any form and would love to fund a home for abused children, and you know what this book will assist in achieving such thanks soooo much for the offer. PS. I also have six children of my own who are all grown and doing well after all the struggles. Jennifer.
April 18th, 2010 at 9:54 am
Thomas, your vision is so lovely, and it moves me.
Thank you for bringing it forth and for being rooted in such a large and glorious context. Here’s to you reaching, inspiring, and guiding many people to make sustainable and transformative shifts in their lives and in their relationships to themselves, others, all life, planet, and kosmos. I hope you trust deeply in your vision. It is powerful.

Thank you.
April 18th, 2010 at 10:01 am
Amazingly, I’ve already been working at doing this because of an inability to hold a “normal” job during the economic downturn in the US. In reading just the first few chapters, I’ve “tweaked” the paradigms I was operating from, and in just a few days I can see that there is more interest… days, not weeks or months!
April 18th, 2010 at 10:02 am
Thank you Cyril! Many blessings to you and your wife…
April 18th, 2010 at 10:03 am
Oh and by the way i do hope you got my donation, keep up the good work we need more people like you. Jennifer.
April 18th, 2010 at 10:12 am
Hi David,
I loved your book and also admired the good action behind it. Keep up the good work.
Your book really inspired me to look for the “me” and what I could do for other. I honestly thinking of writing a book. Now I have to see how to bring it onto the paper. Thank you for being so motivating.

I’m french but I enjoy reading your book. LOADS of useful information – thank you!
I am so happy these days, I don’t want to change anything right now. I did the test – Time, Location, money and meaning. It looks like what I need is time and money.
I want to write fun, uneful, unjoyable books. The thing is, I don’t know on what, yet…
Must keep reading! Maybe it’ll come to me.
All best,

Hi David,
I hope you can help me in this ciberspace world.
I teach the most amazing Intuitive Art Workshops to people that say “I CAN’T DRAW” and I would love to be able to teach it on line and – I also teach kids non violent communications using art as a way to express themselves. It is truly amazing and magical. I would love to teach on line art and also do workshops around the world. Especially in Australia – because I want to go and visit my daughter in Australia in January 2011. She is living in Canberra Chiftley ACT Australia.
I have worked with street kids, kids at risk, kids with communication problems – ADD, and also Alzheimer’s and Parkinson patients and people with physical difficulties and even a Blind lady. It works for everyone from 1-100. Ladies love to see the beautiful creations that their little angels help them create on their canvas. Even people who have never picked up a paint brush before. My stuff is amazing but I am stuck in the paint can and need help getting it out there on this cyberspace highway.
Blessings on this Sunday morning from Patrica Butchart.
My prayer request to you…….
So can you put my little blurp on your blog because I cannot do it on my blackberry. And see what happens in this cyberspace world. Maybe someone out there can help this Canadian gal – from Ottawa and Kingston get to teach art on line and also get a connection with someone in Australia who will organize a group of people that I can teach art to this coming January 2011 in AUSTRALIA and who knows where after that – I have a dream to teach Oprah and have my beautiful art in her O magazine.
People can read about me and see my art by googling my name
patricabutchart and go into MyTown site and see my Dancing in the Sunlight painting which I did at 63 years young when I graduated with my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Looking forward to seeing how this cyberspace works because I am trusting that it works
Australia and OPRAH here I come!!! So please can you make mine 308 post on your blog!!! With thanks and gratefulness -

Dear David, thank you for the persentant nudging to get started. No I have not shared your book. No, I have not read your book. No, I have supposedly been too busy. So, I skipped through to what I preceive as my weak points and read. Wow How I have been Wasting my time!
Thank you for sharing, Thank you for Caring, Thank you for diligence.

Thanks again.

My business in 12 months will include:
Coaching one on one clients
My finished e-book
Website
newsletters
Group coaching/ teleclasses
Articles submitted
Speaking engagements
More income
More travel
A more fulfilled life helping others

Hello David:
Interesting that your book offer should come along as a re-inforcer of something that has already started. I have been passionate about guitar since my teens. A local senior centre had offered an introduction to guitar course but had no instructor yet. A friend made the introductions necessary for an interview and that was it. My first 10 wk course has 12 mature students. I use my decade or so of hypnosis skills to help them with their limiting beliefs and my knowledge of learning processes and physiology to help them to get their bodies to respond in ways that get their music out. A local music store is willing to have me teaching beginner guitar from their store. The website is in process.
And along comes your book about being paid for who I am. And that is now happening.
Best regards,
Guitar Gord

Aloha David, I have been interested to read your book, but my computer is not letting me open it, I may need to go the hard copy route to read it…but I’m already on information overload. There is so so much on the internet these days, regarding the transformation taking place that it has become a bit overwhelming and in some ways distracting. I’m still in the stage of getting a sense of connecting to the what and where I fit into it all for the creation of my own abundance and the giving of my gift.
Mahalo for sharing, Lori
April 18th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
I’m not sure what I will share, but I’m very excited about the book. I just want to be able to help support my family and actually get to spend some time with them too! I believe that taking this step will have me spending more time with my family while taking care of our bills and putting money aside for vacations and so on. Thanks for this opportunity!

April 18th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
David, You need to be bleesed again! Your book and total idea have been so perfectly timed. (well maybe I’ve been waiting a while…) Have some large long-term goals in a dream that’s been planned for over 30 years to introduce CEREUS, a multi-facet production company to illustrate the principles of “Think & Grow Rich Action Pack”. I was told to read it in 1981 and became obsessed!
Because you’re now beginning a network of like-minded followers I’m contact some of them with invitations. Hope this is okay with you…..

My vision is a world of individuals who work together to support each other in creating lives of optimal health and optimal wealth potential.
April 18th, 2010 at 4:12 pm
My Vision is to see the whole world communicating with each other in a way that is respectful of each person, each culture, and each life.
“Communication is the backbone of life that creates our world.” ~ Stacey Huish
This is my life work. I teach communication skills to people all over the world. The skills are taught to create peace, love and harmony throughout families, relationships, workplaces, homes, and school classrooms.
I am on a Mission. My goal is to transform and improve 1,000,000 relationships between all people right around the world.
“Communication is the Glue that holds our relationships together and
it can be the very thing that tears us apart” ~ Stacey Huish
My Mission is to be the paradigm shift and guiding light for the way every person in the world communicates with each other. I will share and impart practical, useful knowledge effecting positive change with groups of people all over the world. Having every person in the world feeling loved, appreciated and accepted, making sure that all the different cultures are communicating with each other through understanding, love, appreciation and acceptance.
“I will believe in others until they can believe in themselves. And I will do this through Love and Acceptance.” ~ Stacey Huish
April 18th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
Hi David,
The synchronicity of your book into my life is unbelievable.
Hail the Law of Attraction
My vision is to heal and inspire through music. Gosh, I just can’t seem to get the words out here. I have already started with my online networking organisation and realise I have so much more to contribute. I have over 30 years of knowledge and experience of music and the music industry to share with newbies and lovers of great live and recorded music.
My vision is to create my newsletter, incorporating musical information coupled with healing and uplifting words of encouragement, then record my current book as an audio CD and do exactly what you have instructed in your book. I LOVE public speaking and will be speaking at many events, combining artistic creation and performance with a holistic approach to creativity.
Thank you soooo much David for your olive branch. Blessings to you.

April 18th, 2010 at 4:37 pm
Hi David, Thanks for the book it was very inspiring- I actually printed it all out so I could fully digest it !
My goal is to have our retreat up and running with regular bookings in 6 monhts time. I also intend to have regular clients on a daily basis- helping them to overcome their limiting beliefs and seeing themselves as more than just their physical being. I also intend to run regular workshops which are always fully booked – to help poeple uncover their best lives and live from that perspective. Namaste
April 18th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
In 12 months time I will be touring the country promoting my new book, Styling You … your handbag guide to looking gorgeous every day. My aim is to inspire people to look their best and be at their most confident by dressing to impress and let their personality shine through.
Thanks so much for your book!
April 18th, 2010 at 4:53 pm
I have no idea what I will be doing in 12 months..that is why I am here. I do know this: I am sitting on the porch of a great little house on the beach smiling hugely and thinking of the day, a year ago when I published my first personal website and posted my first blog. That was today and it’s in my mental history book. I need to find that thing that makes me wake up every morning smiling hugley and wanting to share it with everyone! That’s what I will be doing in 12 months. What that is? I have no idea!
April 18th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
David!
Reading your book today and it’s helping me fine tune my dream: Helping fellow bodyworkers create an online presence and/or other streams of income so that they do not have to rely on their clientele for their financial well being. It’s a huge niche. And I look forward to making it happen, with the help of mentors like you…
Thank you for all that you do!

April 18th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
Glad to hear it Pavla – wow – 7 years?

In the next few months I intend to be working regularly on posts for my website – and receiving feedback about what kind of help others want/need. This is a website where I offer insight into how to do life differently. I look forward to people suggesting and supporting each other on how implement change. I will be achieving more freedom, time, inner, financial and location freedom – i love those concepts..
My self development programme will be under way and I will be creating the life I deserve. Its really exciting the challenges and opportunities that are coming up.
April 18th, 2010 at 6:39 pm
Well…today is my birthday so in 12 months time I’ll be celebrating being another year older and wiser. Haven’t gotten to your fabulous book yet but in advance, here’s the vision so far for April 2011:
- Blacksmith is strongly building position as New Zealand’s #1 business performance and culture transformation consultancy using the TakeON! tools
- my BrandPeople blog has built a loyal following and awesome list of contributers, both from NZ and overseas
- my as yet unnamed eat/drink/do blog is up and running and my friends and I are having super fun times making it happen
- I’ve attended an international conference on employer brand and employee engagement including the opportunity to meet on-line networks face to face
- I’ve completed my first summer series of open water surf ski races
- My husband, Paul, and I have had a fabulous, relaxing, refreshing break
…..so not much really….
Bring it on!

“Get out of your own way.” For many years even after reading THINK AND GROW RICH, I did not know that I could be a stumbling block on my own way.
Thanks for the book. I will respond again after I complete the book.
April 18th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
Here’s my answers to your questions.
What do ~you~ want? I want to be a Mom to a boy and girl. I want to build my dream home by the lake with enough room for an office and training centre. I want to be an Executive Senior National Sales Director with Mary Kay Cosmetics.
What does your life look like 12 months from now, with your new venture flourishing?
In 12 months I will be driving my Pink Cadillac to my $1000+ skin care classes, new consultant trainings, and unit success meetings. I will have 2 offspring Sales Directors and a unit of 100+ fantastic women. My husband and I will be expecting twins (a boy & a girl). My husband will be working 1 job instead of 2. We will have savings of $5000 and be looking at property to build our dream home.
What’s your vision for your future?
By June 30, 2016 Angela’s Busy Bees are a Pink Cadillac, 150 member unit, and National Area!
Our unit and area are made up of faithful, hard working, dynamic, giving
women with consultants and Directors in Canada, USA, and all over the world! Our mission is to help women achieve their wildest dreams, have financial success and their personal heart’s desire, alongside their family activities.
April 18th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
So, to respond to the question,”Where will I be in 12 months?”
I plan to have my business support my financial needs and to be getting ready to have my first child.
April 18th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
I just read Angela Foreman-Bobier’s comment and thought I should expand my response to the questions!!!!!!
“What do I want?” ~ I want joy, a mutual and respectful love relationship, happiness, and money to buy whatever I want!” I want to have 3-4 children and to live with ease by the ocean. I want to be married within the year.
“What does my life look like 12 months from now, with my new venture flourishing”? ~ In 12 months, I will have a steady stream of referrals and to be able to choose my own hours and my own rate of pay.” I will be helping women and men find joy in any situation and to live their lives with purpose, meaning, and existence.
My husband and I will be looking for our “family home” and expecting our first child together(possible twins), since we want to have only 2 pregnancies, but 3 children. My husband’s business and his book will be widely successful and he will be able to sleep in if he chooses and not be so tired all the time. He and I will both feel valued, respected, and fulfilled by the work that we do to help others. We will have time to talk, to share, and to spend with our perspective families and each other. We will have joy in our lives instead of the pain that we have both experienced for several years.
“What’s my vision for my future?” ~ 3-4 kids, at least one of each gender.
The house overlooking the ocean. Plenty of time for rest and rejuvenation. My husband and I will travel as we like. I also pray for longevity for both my husband and I, since we found each other late in life. I want 50 more years with him! I want love, lots of it. I also want sex – lots of it – and great passionate sex – lots of it. I want to be able to buy what I want, when I want it. Period.
Thank you so much to all the bloggers for giving me the encouragement to write and envision my destiny.
Best,
Sophia

In 12 mos – my ventureS will be well on their way. Some will be financially supporting me, some will be much closer to fruition.
I have multiple passions. . . I’m learning how to do them ALL — why hold back?
I’m re-vamping the DENTAL HYGIENE industry.
I’m providing handmade prayer blankets to orphans all over the world.
I’m bringing my “inventions” to market (5 new products).
And whatever other ideas my creative brain comes up with along the way will be added to the list!
Thanks, David – this is a great project!
April 18th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
My income in 12 months time from 20 April 2010 will have doubled to $US8,000 per month. I hope nobody thinks it crass to state numbers, but it is necessary to my vision. Also, I will be location independent, and dividing my time between a couple of different locations in the United States, Brazil, with some time spent touring Europe on a motorcycle. I will feel appreciated and needed like I never have in the past, and for once feel as if I am directly benefitting someone besides myself through my main income-generating activity.
April 18th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
I Have the book but haven’t read it all yet I have enjoyed what I did read. Haven’t a vision yet but know it will come and it is essential to moving up and out of where I am now. The best to all others in the same place. God’s Blessing. Sharon
April 18th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
I have only just downloaded the book and I am really keen to get into it but yet to start.
This book is another tool in my quest! I have been on this journey for almost 2 year now and while I feel some days I am not getting anywhere, if I look back I amazed at just how far I’ve come and excited about what lies ahead as the books and info I am pouring over are fantastic and only pushing me on to continue.
April 18th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
Absolutely wonderful concept. Can’t wait to read the book . Thank you!!! My vision – that Mangotiger is well received world wide and I am well established on the speaking circuit ( my dream job!!)
April 18th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
come download my vision now – that was the words in my mailbox this morning – thats what I will do. Without even having received the book yet.
In 12 months – I will be living off my art. I paint these wonderfull fairytalepictures – and I am on an endeavour to show them to the world this year. And to make it a sustainable business for my family and I. It will bring us many delightfull traveling experiences and it will help pay ouf bills, which are an evitable part of everydaylife owning a house…. I cant wait to see where my “journey” will take me – but I now it will be somewhere good.
And more detailed “real” goals:
in 12 moths I will be painting in my atelier which I am restoring in our garden.
I will have 3 other artist who come and paint or whatever they do in my atelier – and I will get paid for them using the house but on a scale that is good for both me and them.
I will be selling 2 paintings a month and earning around 15.000 danish kroners a month
I will be loving it. I will be loving the way it fits in to our family lives and the boys will be able to come home from school and take their playmates with them – and I can still be working in the atelier at the same time.
Thanks for getting me going on my dream!!!

I have been 6 years in start-up phase trying to get a technology business going… either I’m mad or I’m doing it wrong – possibly both!
I’m taking a new look at what I’m doing again (second time in the six years) and I am hopeful that a combination of improving economy and a new approach is going to pay dividends.
One of the things I am really bad at is charging what I am worth to clients – I guess I am too much of a softie. I haven’t read the book yet, but I’m hoping that by this time next year I have a reasonable income and a growing business

Hi David, Received your book but have not completed reading it, life keeps getting in the way. What I did get though was a fabulous way to finally make my dream site having to do with the holistic healing care and feeding of animals. I feel a great connection with them and decided to focus my enegy on them realizing they were my passion. Actually before I received your book I had already begun putting together a website but found myself stuck. Now I think I can see it coming together. Thank you so much for including me in your vision. Juana

Hi everyone,
I didn’t start to read boook yet, but I find it very interesting (that’s why I just downloaded).
I would like to share with everyone how I see my future. Very playful, finally worthy of my existence. I do not have a defined goal, but what attracted my attention is to develop my confidence and belief in ME, so that it means either.
Here, that much of me, greeting.

I had already started working on Practical Alternative Energy Projects then along came your book and I felt vindicated and reinforced.
To see it all laid out has saved me a lot of time and grief – I may not get it right first time but I can now step out with confidence that I am not alone on this path.
If you want to talk about alternative / renewable energy look at the site – if you want ot write about it we can make some money together.
April 19th, 2010 at 3:21 am
Hi Thank you so much for the book. I am a quarter way through and it has already helped me. I am in the 40 something’s and have been on a journey for 16 months to find a way to re-define my life in every area. One of the suggestions you made was to, in my own words “use and apply other peoples research to my benefit, while giving them credit. And so I opened my mind to a current project, by enlisting the knowledge of someone who is good in the field of nutrition and will apply that to my life and journey. It has made my goal so much easier. I still have to get to the end of the book. Just need more time.
God Bless

Hi David,
I`ve got your book but I was in a big rush days before so I didn`t read the one singl word and I need little more time to send you a letter on english. I`m from Serbia. I am a Life Coach on the beganing of my profession in country where coaching just starting to developing. Thank you a lot for the free e book, I like the open minded theme of it and I believe that will be very helpfull for me, my life and my job. I got your CD “The first fifty clients” two mounths ago and I was listening it more than one time. Your approach and suggestions brought to me five new clients in first mounth and I have 10 potentional clients! Before the CD I have no one client! Thank you!
April 19th, 2010 at 3:36 am
I am very excited about the book I have just received and I will read it as soon as I can. Thank you for this opportunity and I will report my impressions as soon as I finish it.

This venture wll enable me to support my two teenagers and myself in a lifestyle less financially worrisome. I look forward to meeting and helping all those that need a direction to start on a beter lifestyle for them selves as well!
Thank you for the book!

Dear David and Ezra:
By the way, Ezra in Hebrew means “help.” Is it a real name?
Your book came to my attention at the same moment that I finished to write a book, and was thinking how to publish it as an E-book. Thank you a lot. Your book has a lot of usefull suggestions.
But, I wouldn’t like somebody to copy my materials, and I am not going to use others people ideas. I have enough my own.
How do I protect my copyrights?
Thank you again,
Sincerely,
Netta.

In the 12 months I want to have completed a series of info products that I’ve been putting off like forever.
Get my charitable foundation up and running.
Oh and I want to purchase a home.

I too have been working on projects for awhile that I never seem to get off the ground due to my job as a special education teacher and another project, a mystery dinner theater I am opening soon. The mystery dinner theater would be on weekends and my husband and I would conduct seminars during the week. I am hoping during the summer when I am not teaching, I will be able to work on this too.
I believ the initial start and the final finish are the roughest because you have to make a final committment for both.
April 19th, 2010 at 8:54 am
Thank you David,
your effort to help others are relly appreciated.
I sincerly hope that by the end of the year not only I wll have read your book,
but I mnaged also to apply your teachings.
Thank you, Franco
April 19th, 2010 at 8:54 am
First thank you for the book. I have not finished it yet but so far I love it. I have left the 9-5 world a few months ago to grow my business and it has been hard. My website is all about me with a link to my service. I help people/businesses show appreciation by sending greeting cards. For businesses there is no greater way for them to maintain customer loyalty and build referrals then showing your customer/client how much you appreciate them and do it in a personal way, not by an email. I would love feedback on my website and my service. I created it myself. I feel by doing business over the internet you might want to know about the person you are doing business with.
April 19th, 2010 at 9:08 am
Hello,
I am a special education teacher who is opening a mystery dinner theater that will run on the weekends. My husband and I hope to conduct workshops during the week. This summer, I plan on working on my website for my target group, but I have not yet made a commitment to which group I would like to reach. I have also run themed day camps in the summer for the last five years. I have an extensive background, which is making it difficult to narrow my choice to one area.
April 19th, 2010 at 9:09 am
Hi! I have not finished the book yet but I am deeply grateful to you for sharing it because it has changed my mind… now I start to believe everything is possible.
Next year I will be teaching people about healthy life and raw food all around my country, Spain, sharing my experiences and the tips I have learned during my own journey. I will combine this passion with my musical passion, so I will play the piano at concerts. I will also be surrounded by my family and friends, and I will live in my beautiful home with my even more beautiful organic garden. I will be happy.
Best regards,
Noemi

April 19th, 2010 at 9:15 am
Yes, I find I stand in my own way often, but not as much as I used to. I also find that most people do, because it is an automatic response to fear of the unknown.
So true!

Serendipity! Your book came a day after I made the decision to expand from trainer to coach! I had been coaching folks after classes, now I am going get paid for it. My passion – to help people make transitions by finding their passion. Business name will be “Reach the Summit Coaching.” — Thanks for the book – just in time!
April 19th, 2010 at 10:07 am
I am on page 87. This book has the answers to many of the questions I have been asking. I always knew there must be a better way to live and am am certainly ready to launch out on my path. Some of the things I already started but I am now more motivated to continue the set up the whole program. thank you !
April 19th, 2010 at 10:10 am
My vision: I am about to launch my consultation services, with which I’ll be doing something I really love while helping people, and getting paid for who I am. In a year’s time I’m only working part-time for somebody else or simply working for myself, being paid for doing something good for others.
April 19th, 2010 at 10:23 am
Hi there! Thank you for sharing such an amazing information. I am just beginning to read, but I wondered if the following pages are really missing from the file or it was a numbering mistake or what’s the catch?:
48, 36, 12, 127 & 128, and also the first numbered page is 11, but it is currently the 9th page, are we missing those 2 pages?
Thank you!

First of all, thanks for the great book and the wonderful idea!
I read it within hours!
I would like to translate the book into german. I live in Germany and would be happy to share the book with my german speaking friends.
My vision is to create a newsletter about alternative healing topics and motivation for people with handicaps.

I want to maintain the freedom feeling and proceed with avoiding restrictions of 9-5 workday, 5day workweek, working clothes and other ‘boxes’. besides, a goal is to understand what I want and how I want it. and stop batting around from one wish to another and settle a goal.
April 19th, 2010 at 10:55 am
I write and publish articles/short stories. I work with wonderful, talented authors editing their manuscripts. My web site is efficient, attractive and inspiring. It generates much of my work, (all of which is well compensated) and puts me in contact with most clients.
A year from now I will to be living in a beautiful house with a large yard, abundant access to nature and scenic views. I will work primarily from my home office but make frequent trips to meet with publishers and other clients. I will also attend writer’s workshops which will be motivational and inspiring. I am living an abundant passion and love filled life.

Hi thanx for book
going on pension will need extra income. Will be doing reiki, quantum touch and EFT
Have not read book yet
April 19th, 2010 at 11:24 am
hey thank you for the book i will read it this week sometime excited about it now.i hope to go to university for the first time as a matue student no that mature but still mature hoping to enjoy it make lots of new friends and see my creative streak open up widely thank you t.
April 19th, 2010 at 11:33 am
Thank you for the ebook, I haven’t had a chance to read it as yet, but my moto in life is get up no matter what as I believe that God will never give us more than we we can handle.
April 19th, 2010 at 11:36 am
I love the book and read it in a few hours (e-book) cant wait to get the paperbook in my hands!
Already taken some huge steps, especially identifying my target market and speaking direct to them via my website! ( I am EFT and Reiki Practitioner, working with clients and small groups)
My vision for this time next year; I will be financially more secure, have finished mt first book and started on the second, be teaching Reiki and EFT, as well as designing websites for small businesses (www.virtualcreations.org.uk)
Actually lets go for the BIG vision; I will be living in a bigger house, working from home and opportunities will be knocking on my door.
This book came at a time when I had decided to make some chnages already; the biggest was to abolish my fee structure and work by donation only, so that everyone that needs it has access to alternative therapy.

Thank you for having faith in me. I have been headed toward this for a long time and now I am heading for that open door.
In the next 365 & 1/4 days I will begin to add the traditional Polish food I grew up on to the mainstream menus of the country. I will take the 1st 20 percent of my earnings (10 to help you /10 for me)to place on causes that are important to me. I will have 40 percent of the rest put into certain trusts to improve the quality of life for those I love. I can live on the rest. This is only a glimpse of my goals. I will expand on this later.
I have only started reading the book and must say that I am quite excited but my intention is to check in with you weekly to let you know how I am proceeding.
Again I thank you and I hope to be of service to you someday.
sincerely, c-r
April 19th, 2010 at 11:55 am
I’m very impressed with all the information in the book although I haven’t read it entirely – just the parts that “spoke” to me on the first look through. I’ve had an idea about revamping my website and found there are many interesting points in the book that are helping me to refine my vision.
My goal is to help others by sharing my own challenges and the steps I took to overcome them. I’ve written one book and plan to write another in the very near future.
David’s suggestions about giving away a freebie to get people to sign up for a newsletter really hit home and I will take part of my book and give it away to subscribers! It all makes sense now.
Thank you very much!

Hello Sandy
I am here in Denmark and I need some support to do up my website. I allready purchased the webdomain but got lost in the technical stuff, and some uncertainty about the design. Is that something you could help me with? How would the charge be?
I do massage and healing work. listening and talking to others, trying to learn myself EFT and want to include it in my treatments.
I am working/ thinking about another product I could create on-line on my website. Would love to hear from you.

Hi Manja –
while I don’t do this, Chapter 4 will show you how to find someone inexpensively, or even for free :–)

April 19th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
I am 2/3 through the book, and I am finding it very helpful and informative. I have been thinking about starting a website for over a year, and this was the spark that I needed to get going. I have just completed a book of my own, and have several ideas around my book theme to start a new business. I am very excited to get my vision online.

Haven’t started the book yet – several unfinished projects to get out of the way before I can give it 100%. The book and I both deserve it! Also I need a clear vision of where I’m going = any tips on how to get THAT?
cheers

I’ve read the first couple of chapters, it’s exciting and interesting. This is what I need to really get me fired up with the product I’m sharing with people…I really want to help inform people about this excellent advice and the product I’m sharing too….
Keep up the good work!
April 19th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
How can I get the book? I have written a book, workbook, workshops, and have a blog site. I need a plan for how to make the most of them.
April 19th, 2010 at 3:55 pm
Hi David – I haven’t started reading yet, but will this week. I love your message as it’s similar to mine and there just can’t be too many of out there preaching the good word! I help mid-level professionals find their natural/God-given talents and hone them into their career. New business, “Career Lift,” so far giving presentations to association meetings to help them reach their members with career services.
Look forward to talking more!
All the best,

I hope you’re not spending too much “dosh” in putting together a flyer that compels people to read it, and then, immediately, buy whatever you’re offering. If, after test marketing the flyer and the number of reponses don’t meet you goals, let me know, and I’ll help you put together a flyer, which will have people kicking down your door.
April 19th, 2010 at 5:17 pm
David,
Thanks for the book! Started reading it tonight. I am currently in the process of inventorying my skills and passions. I look forward to learning from, and sharing your resources!
The one thing that really sticks out in my mind right now is that; after reading your material and that of others like Dan Miller and Dave Ramsey, I realize that there are a lot of other people out there like me who desperately want to get out there on their own and do what they love. I hope that every one of us can overcome our fears and get on with getting free!!!
April 19th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
Hi David
Thank you for the free e-book. Haven’t read it all yet, but appreciate the information. My vision for the next year is to have broken free of the 9-5, 5 days per week regime and have my personal fitness business well under way. My passion is to help people live their lives full of health and wellbeing.
April 19th, 2010 at 5:43 pm
Great book! The essentials points of making a change in your career are lined up in a logical format so the reader can start making changes right away. I’m ahead of the curve, I changed my career last year from real estate to writing coach, who knew that MA in creative writing would work out? My advice, take the plunge into your new life before you quit the old life, you’ll need some income for the cross over!
Good luck everyone!
April 19th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Hi David, I write really unusual childrens books, actually thet’re inspirational tales that adults like too, so far I’ve only printed them up in small batches. Also work as an art therapist, most of my work is unpaid with small groups of vulnerable children in some of the local schools that have big problems not a lot of money. I’ve raised 5 children on my own for the past 16 years including fostering a few children with intellectual disabilities.My friends tell me I shouldn’t do voluntary work because I do’t make enough in the paid jobs I get; I refuse to be defined by my income large or small but it’s pretty tight. So my ideal would be to be funded by one or many to be able to do what I can do without having to stress about finding the money each week. I like the thought of giving my talents to society as a free gift and receiving the cash to cover my needs. Sounds altruistic? Yes I guess so, but I don’t see why it couldn’t happen………………expect a miracle, yes, let’s see…………. All you out there, do you need a story? Perhaps I can write it for you!!!!!
April 19th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
What I want and what I get. I am a self taught healer that has been learning different ways of healing a person. I have struggled with getting the courage to stop working with computers and start my own healing business. I have tried to get a company that is wellness balanced off the ground and it took extra money that I did not have. I have this year secured 6 months of employment in a work that will allow me to finance a home based business.
April 19th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
Your ebook is extremely organized and coherent. I resonate with the information in each chapter. It contains exactly the information I need to create my next steps: website, blog, and newsletter.
I’ve created a program that teaches peace-making tools to young children and their families through puppetry and the expressive arts. I’ve been working locally and writing about it for many years.
I’m ready to reach many more people and you’ve given me an easy to follow blueprint.
With gratitude for this gift, David.

I’ve just started reading the e-book. My first project reflects an interest in textile craft traditions that are nearly extinct. I want to make an atlas of four related Japanese textile crafts, including research into their history and sociology, how many artisans still practice these crafts, and where they do it. Also want to highlight the human stories of dedication and courage that keeps these traditions alive. I can start a blog and ning site now; I am learning still photo and video skills needed in the future. Look forward to connecting with anyone knowledgeable or interested in this topic.

I haven’t been able to get to the book yet. I bought just days before launching my tshirt company. I’m a jeans and tshirt kinda gal … I love them actually. And making my living designing and selling them? That’s the dream … among others. I know that your book will spur on this new phase of development, and am really looking forward to getting some downtime to start reading!

There are people willing to help you with this project. I feel you will discover who they are, not long from now either.

I think that these posts have become diverse, heartfelt, detailed, specific, intriguing, full of honesty and gratitude and truth, and emotional as well.
so posting what is pertinent ones individual lives, at this time, is all OK, it is all good.
These are like freedom pages, technically published, right?

April 19th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
What a worthwhile endeavor. Especially now that these crafts are in danger of extinction. I saw a documentary once just on Japanese living treasures and there was one very old woman who made her own fabric and then dyed them with an indigo dye she made from plants she grew. She was the very last person who still knew these methods, fabulous! Thank you for bringing this subject forward.
April 19th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
I have an idea.
Then again I have several ideas, kinda an ideas person, one could say.
Has anyone emailed you yet?
Your honesty is a nice trait.
I’ll check back.

Hi David,
This is simply a quick thank you for now. You’ve laid out all the steps with details. So many times the last couple years I’ve wished I could have a way to explain to my friends exactly what’s in this book. Plus it gave me lots of ideas for my own adventure as well. I absolutely love the connection to giving to groups we feel are helping people change their lives. Wonderful way to bring so many parts of what I’ve been thinking about together.
Thank you!

Thank you for your book David, I have not read all of it yet but what I have read has inspired me to put ideas into action instead of just talking about them.

I have not yet had the chance to read more than the first few chapters and was really not looking at writing a book for myself so much as researching writing in general. My vision for myself in the next 12 months is to have an internet marketing business established, to be helping others find their way through the maze of business start up and be making a difference in the lives of myself and others through my business. I aim to have retired from shift work and be creating a source of wealth and be discovering a creative side to myself
April 19th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
Hello David,
“Go thou and do like wise.” I have lived my life this way. And you are right, it certainly does pay off. I have many talents that I would love to share with the world, but one in particular stands out. I make a rather substantial income now and would love to share what I have learned with others. I have been encouraged to tell my story and write a book. Your book has given me the insight on just how to do it. With this I can give back in so many ways.
Thank you so much!

the book was mind blowing. actually sounds too good to be true. i read it all in one sitting. i have started reading all over again. i think it will really serve the purpose if i can get down to making my own website working..anyways thanks for the nuggets of advice.

I have also asked to stop all the e-mails about this coming to my box, but they are still coming…clicked on the link and it took me here, please take me off the list!

I haven’t read the book as yet…but i will.
I want to be able to earn a comfortable income from home doing what i love … EFT,counselling and life coaching.I want to see my first book out in print and on the best seller list in the next 3 months.I want to be able to afford a beautiful house in a good neighbourhood and be able give my daughter all the comforts and ‘extras’ her friends have.Too much to ask …???
April 20th, 2010 at 12:55 am
it DOES sound too good to be true. And yet – people are creating a lifestyle of freedom and contribution using this approach. Hmmmm….what to do!?

Sue, what I like to do is a visioning exercise – just relax and imagine yourself 10 years into the future. Spend as much time as you like imagining your ideal life in all its different aspects.
Now write down EVERYTHING you saw in as much detail as you can remember.
There’s your vision
April 20th, 2010 at 2:29 am
Confession – I have not read the book yet – I literally just scanned it but it looks good….
My dream for my talents – to be able to make a comfortable 2nd income from my business (I do like my full-time job though) so that I can pay off our house in a couple of years and take us on holidays to exotic locations
April 20th, 2010 at 2:33 am
Hi David,
I downloaded your book, and I have started to read it. but there is so much on my mind, I’ll always wanted to work on the net, but never found it, so maybe I should start my own business the question is what? At the moment I am writing my first novel, still have a lot to go, and at the same time I am nervous because I don’t have enough work so payment is very minimal… So how can I create something with all this chat-chat going on in my mind?
April 20th, 2010 at 2:42 am
Read your book and found it very interesting.but would like a hard copy,and cannot find any way of ordering?
April 20th, 2010 at 3:02 am
This is a brilliant idea. Talk about list building on steroids. All the verry best, —Robert

Hey,
Google Cashmaps. You get some free just for registering and there are others that you get one a day. See what will suit you to purpose. I find that their approach helps to clear my mind, once I start thinking in their step-wise method I can see more clearly what to do.
Good luck,
April 20th, 2010 at 4:14 am
I have not had time to start reading the book, but I try to organise time for it. I am mature student of upper secondary school, and because I want to be very good student, it takes a lot of my time. After 12 months I will still be a student, but I read the book and other books for I am interested, is there something else I could do too.
April 20th, 2010 at 6:17 am
David,
Superb job at engaging the audience. You really come across as an ‘authentic’ person. Looking forward to the journey….
April 20th, 2010 at 6:23 am
Robert is spot on and all for a great cause. Congratlations David. Looking forward to the next installment

April 20th, 2010 at 6:28 am
You are a good person Frank.
April 20th, 2010 at 6:32 am
Thankyou David I am very grateful. My life in 12 months will be substantially different. We will be living our dream life and are working on moving forward. We have sold our business and are working on growing our business coaching / mentoring and branding business. Looking forward to the book.
Thankyou again. Lawrence

12 months from now i’m a professional makeup artist and i earn a bunch of money…. travel all over the world and buy a large and ecologic house, i’m married with the man of my dreams……sounds cool, yesssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 20th, 2010 at 6:55 am
Hi David, Ezra, & All,
I’ve read a few chapters and appendix B. This is really exciting and timely for me to have found. I’ve just begun a course on setting up affiliate websites. I’m half through a writing course. I’m beginning to get involved with real estate cash flow notes and your book inspires me to consider a site for others who are trying to break out of disability as I now am doing.
So, I hope to become financially independent in the coming months and years. I’m a month into HoloSync meditation and simpleology coursework…almost too much…alot from past rut of watching tv incessantly!
Thank you so much for your example and help,
Glenn.
April 20th, 2010 at 7:22 am
One of my best skills is my ability to listen deeply, and stay in tuned with the person who is speaking to me. Because of this, I find myself constantly confronted with other people’s need to vent (I’ve a little frustration).
I want to find a way to turn this skill into a profitable vocation that DOESN’T DRAIN ME and provides the income I need to take care of my son and do things I love. Right now I am contemplating how I could get started ASAP (I don’t have a psychology degree).
The other skill I possess is the ability to write – poems, prose, short stories and meditative pieces.
April 20th, 2010 at 7:57 am
My Vision for my Self – 12 Month from now
I enjoy a lot of fun.
I am connected with a bunch of creative, life enjoying and loving people.
I generate my high income by my high-value-providing-website.
I provide value for people worth 40.000€ PLUS each month.
I generate an income of 20.000€ PLUS each month.
I feel great, connected, passionate and happy about contributing by being and expressing myself.
thanks for the inspiration David

David! I have been WAITING for your book for my whole life! It is the whole enchilada! You know what the best thing is? You have given permission (and the way to follow it) to be who I am and get paid! Thank you, a thousand times, thank you!
May 1, 2011, I want to still be in this beautiful place, with an apartment in the City. June 1, 2010 or sooner, I will have my book finished. July 1, 2010 or sooner, I will have my book up as an ebook, and my website up. August 1, 2010 or sooner, I’ll have my book published, and new coaching practice off the ground, making me the money I want and need for my Freedom Lifestyle!
Thanks to you!
Love and appreciation,
Helen
April 20th, 2010 at 8:47 am
I haven’t read the book yet, but I understand this notion of visualize to actualize, as well as the intention of making myself accountable. And so…
1. What do ~I~ want? I want to re-experience joy in my work and I want to have addressed my issues of frustration and procrastination becasue I know what I’m doing and where I’m going
2. In 12 months from now, with your new venture flourishing? I will have completed my Masters and hope to have been able to publish my thesis and leverage it to create a new generation of communinity for Women in Leadership
3. What’s your vision for your future?. Joy in what I do; enthusiasm to handle all the excitment, chaos and challenges; fulfillment in making a difference, while doing what I enjoy, with people I enjoy working with
April 20th, 2010 at 8:48 am
I want to have a place to live- preferably with room to pursue my art and space for my gardens. In 12 months, I’d like to know where I’m going to sleep from day to day, to feel safe, to regain my independence, and to have a reliable income. My vision for the future is centered on a house big enough for me, my artistic pursuits, a small local business using my artistic pursuits in the residential decor/remodeling industry, and big enough for family and friends to visit. I’ll be able to have cookouts, dinner parties and get-togethers. I’ll be financially independent and able to afford tickets to theater and opera again. I won’t ever have to sleep in a car or feel unsafe again.
April 20th, 2010 at 8:50 am
Hi! I feel similar to how you feel. People – even random coworkers who I know don’t really like me – turn to me to vent because I try always to be an empathetic listener. I know it’s a far cry from ALL I have to offer – probably you too! I hope you find your path and QUICKLY! It isn’t enjoyable to raise your child(ren) while you struggle to be able to afford it. Best wishes!
April 20th, 2010 at 8:55 am
Hello everyone! I’ve made it through the Praise for the Book section and the table of contents – it’s pretty exciting. I’m trying to unstress a few days to just DEVOUR the rest of it…
Where do I want to be in a year? Traveling and singing with Cirque du Soleil (yeah really!) and working on a second book because my first one will have been such a HUGE success! So may steps between here and there though… it’s so hard not to get bogged down in the details!
April 20th, 2010 at 8:57 am
I read the book FIVE DAYS AGO and check out my website! Thanks David!

Hey… just wanted to let you know – I’ve been homeless too… and I’m slowly but VERY ASSUREDLY working my way out. It is SO HARD, even though I have a full-time income, but it IS possible. You will never see the silver lining if you don’t face up to the cloud.
April 20th, 2010 at 9:05 am
Joy,
The hardest thing is really knowing yourself- and it sounds like you do. Check into it for your area, but most states don’t require a degree or license (beyond the basic business license) to be a counselor or coach. Counseling is more listening, coaching is listening and motivating. I think the latter would be less of an emotional drain because you’re working with people who want to make positive changes and just need an open heart listening to them, encouragement/support, validation on their good decisions and occasional directional advice. Good luck!
(Then you can have the extra time to write and pursue a literary career as well. In the meantime, submit your work to lit mags online and in print!)
April 20th, 2010 at 9:07 am
Glenn,
It’s good to know that I’m not the only one trying to break free of a disability and regain my independence. I can’t wait to see your very successful results!
Good luck!
April 20th, 2010 at 9:10 am
Leena-
Congratulations on getting an early start! Yes, there is much you can do. (Stay in school, go to college, and have a lucrative and helpful business already in place.) The first step, as David mentions in his book, is finding your passion. What changes do you want to see in the world? How can you get them started and make money at the same time? Good luck!
April 20th, 2010 at 9:14 am
Sounds like you have a lot to work with, Joy. Coaching might work for you! Instead of listening and feeling drained, you can help your callers redirect and discover their own passion!
April 20th, 2010 at 9:15 am
Troika- Thanks. Sincerely.
Rule #1: Never get sick without either money or insurance, preferably both.
Rule #2: Don’t be in a position where you have to rely on someone else to hire you if you have a neurological condition that defies traditional employment.
It’ll be okay. It’s springtime- a whole season and a half to get back on my feet.
April 20th, 2010 at 9:16 am
Opps- Toika. Typed too fast. I’m sorry- got someone waiting for the computer less than patiently.
April 20th, 2010 at 9:31 am
Three cheers to that!
April 20th, 2010 at 9:33 am
Good tip, Marcia!
April 20th, 2010 at 9:35 am
Jules,
I how wonderful that this book reached you in your time of need! The universe work it’s wonders in the best ways. I am not making light of your experiences. I have been in that situation years ago and now i’m am greatful for teachings that I acquired on the streets. I am now a life skills instructor and wellness counselor; I use my experiences from being without a home, independance, and safety to relate and help people. I fell that as an artist you can do the same. The unfortunate that are still out there cannot afford your work and maybe someday when they are back on their feet they will hear your stories and relate to your work and make you wealthy and fullfilled. The best of luck to you.
April 20th, 2010 at 9:37 am
Anyaa, when you give away part of your book, a chapter, perhaps, and get subscribers, you can then send them monthly tips or “side stories”, outbranches of your book to keep them reading, interested.
Good luck!
April 20th, 2010 at 9:41 am
c-r, what a wonderful plan! Traditional Polish recipes — Vila Spiderhawk has created a cookbook of exactly that, based on the meals used in her novels, Forest Song: Finding Home, and Forest Song: Little Mother. You can take a look at vilaspiderhawk dot com and be in touch with her.
Good Luck!

April 20th, 2010 at 10:40 am
I agree with Jules And Helen. Coaching brings awearness and accountability into prespective for the individual. Then using your listening skills to work with them to find solutions and set goals for to move forward. Coaching is working hard as your client, so it’s not onesided and will not drain you. Knowing that you are working with them to move forward will help both of you fell empowered. Best of luck.

David,
I’m a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor with a twist: I want to work with people who have had a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) cognitively, emotionally and then vocationally. Additional twist: I sustained a TBI in 1973. I was in coma for two weeks, spent the next 15 years getting to the point where I felt I was “back” and have been working with people with TBI to help them bet their “focus” back (cognitive), come to terms with their losses and their potential (emotional), and then finally to help them discover what skills, aptitudes and needs they can use in their future career so we can work together to find employment.
Thank you for this chance to ‘put it out there’.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. Not many will draw the world a map to the pot of gold. Thanks. this book came to me with exceptional timing. I received it (opened it) at 1pm yesterday, just an hour after I decided that I was going to start an internet based business. (no joke I had a meeting with the Canada Business Service Center about and idea I am going to patent and got out of that meeting at noon) I tell you the universe’s work amazes me.
I am a woman that wears many hats; I work a 9-5 as an office assistant, I am a student; i am a committee member x2; I am a partner; i am a life skills instructor and wellness counselor; and most importantly i am a mother of 3 gorgous children that all help me be the best i can be. (no matter what hat i’m wearing.
in 12 months I will have my internet business up and running. I will have a business plan complied in regards to the wellness resort that i will base in my home town of Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. I plan to have the resort up and running in 7 years.
As a First Nation person, my dreams are to reinstill pride and identity into the nation. I feel that regaining the values and beliefs that we have lost in our hardships and turning back to our elders and culture will assist in getting our strength as a people back. I want to focus on the Lifegivers and their duties as care providers. on forgiveness and kindship so everyone and anyone could feel the inner peace that they deserve to walk with. It is not our job to judge other on our paths but to help other walk on thiers.
I look forward to the pages to come and will committ to making the time to read and process the message that was so freely offered to assist and start making changes in me, my world, the nation and the whole world.
the best of luck to all.
April 20th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
God bless you girl. Much success and happiness to you. I am always trying to feel prepared for the living in a car situation and wish I didn’t have to have this fear.

In 12 months I run my successful life coaching bussiness helping my clients to find courage and inspiration to do the job they love.
I motivate and chalenge people to make a shift.

I’ve been disabled for 20 years with brain and spinal cord injuries. Venturing out into the world and seeing all it takes to succeed is intimidating and it’s all I can do to confront my own fears.
The truth is either I don’t believe in myself to do what it takes, network and market myself with others, or I’m not being supported by the universe if I’m not doing what I’m meant to do.
I see here so many of us are the same. I am a massage therapist, cranio-sacral work, reiki master, EFT and have intuitive healing abilities; pilates instructor, personal trainer; ASR communication coach studying with Pat Allen and a BA in psych. I have writing abilities I have not been using (loss of confidence and time) and have not finished my Near Death Experience book for many years now.
I have skimmed through the book and look forward to reading it through. I am hoping becoming part of this community helps me gain self confidence and begin to succeed in life. I hear others say it’s a miracle I am alive and doing so well, but it doesn’t curb the anxiety that I am not achieving bigger goals even as I’m learning to accept where I am as an amazing achievement. There are so many little miracles everyday I try to see that baby steps are taking me there.
In 10 years I see myself with published books, perhaps best sellers, and a wonderful flowing practice with loving grateful clients helping them achieve greater levels of consciousness, health and personal power using modalities applicable and beneficial to their needs. I see myself traveling and speaking which is far out, but I feel it. Somewhere in there I would like to have a family, a child.
April 20th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Thank you David for a great book. I found it easy to read and very to understand.
I love the idea of giving it away to a great cause. Congratulations! May it return a billionaire.

April 20th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
Wow! Amazing replies and fabulous book!
Now…who am I? And what will people pay me for? Well, I`m a fighter. A determined dog, who never gives up or gives in, AND someone very intelligent who can put the pieces of a puzzle together. Good for me too because–over 10 years ago now–I was in a very sad, lonely, and confused place. Clinical Depression.
Fortunately, I had a great doctor, great support, and a great mind that helped me battle my way out of the trap I found myself in. But others are not so fortunate. According to the Canadian government, 5% of the Canadian population aged 12 and over experiences depression at any given time! That is a whole lot of people that can use help.
I did it! I made it through that tough time. AND ANYONE ELSE CAN TOO!
I want to be a source to help others make it through to better days because I felt that there were very few resources for me and my support group. We can do better here in this province.
I will make a difference because I already have the experience and the knowledge. I just need David to help me get my ideas out to the people who need it most.
Anyone have any ideas to help?
April 20th, 2010 at 4:35 pm
I have been disabled for the past 10 years. I am recovering now. I am now 1/4 through the book… and I love that it really has boosted my thoughts. That is such a great blessing!
Thank you
April 20th, 2010 at 5:45 pm
Hi David.
Thank you so much for making your book available to me. Actually I should also Thank Marcia Wieder.
I am almost at the end since I have found it extremely pleasant to read, helpful and encouraging. This is some of the practical mentoring I’ve never had.
I hope that the new type of thinking that this book helps me do, will enable me to soar away from the financial/career crisis in which I presently find myself. I needed to break away from the old ways of doing things. They’re not working for me any more.
So far I have created one new free website for my bread and butter work, but I consider this a practice run. I will be applying what I learn to the part of my work that I really love and want to advance. That is… I am a Wholistic Intuitive.
I teach people to use wholistic remedies to improve their lives and the lives of animals. I am particularly knowledgeable about cats and have been called a “Cat Whisperer” and “Cat Therapist”.
Many Blessings to you David. I have already told a friend about you and will continue to spread the word.
If your book helps me get back on my feet financially, I will be more than happy to show my appreciation in dollars!
Again, Many Blessings,
Michelle
April 20th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
I find your book interesting and creative. What I want is to learn more about e/marketing, create a source for useful natural products and further my capacity to help those who are seeking
to heal by wholistic means. EFT led me to this because I needed precisely this information.
April 20th, 2010 at 7:51 pm
The book has not been sent to me. How do I get the attachment?
April 20th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
I haven’t read the book yet but I do have a vision for what I am establishing. Here it goes…
The 2 acres I owned is biodynamically certified (that is already a reality). I grow an abundance of varied vegetables to feed my family and sell the surplus. I established more and more medicinal herbs throughout the gardens. My partner and myself run workshops teaching organic, sustainable gardening skills, composting, sour dough bread making, on the medicinal herbs aspect people can come and learn what to grow, which part to harvest, transform and use for themselves and their family. I also do herbalist consultations.
Off I go.
April 20th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
I have gotten the book the book but i haven’t really digest the whole content. though i found the small part that i have read interesting.
April 20th, 2010 at 9:07 pm
Hi Lise:
Wow we’re impressed with what you’re doing. We have had the same mindset you have for the past 30+ years. We recently ran across something huge called CieAura. It’s a comletely new industry that is into some cutting edge technology with holographic chips for the natural wellness field. They have one for energy, pain and sleep. And they work terrifically! There is also a powerful business opportunity available with these. Go to our web site and check it out. Best wishes to you and your dream.

Hi David,
Long time no speak! I devoured your book on the weekend, and am now working my way through the exercises more thoroughly.
After flying high for a few years, my world came crashing to the ground in the past few months.
Your book has been a priceless help for me to “start afresh”… it’s helping me spot the signposts to my greatest life – while they were always there, I simply didn’t see them until I heeded your wise words.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks for your book. I havent managed to read it yet, but from what I see above its going to be a great book. My vision is to get out of the corporate world and into my full time business as an executive coach on the one side and on the other side, facilitating programs on colour therapy and healing. Looking forward to reading the book to get some great insights from you to move forward.
Take care

Hello David
I am a certified life coach who absolutely loves the book, the empowerment it stands for and the support for charity. It checks all the boxes of my philosophy on life! It’s a wonderful idea, and thank you for doing it.
I enjoyed it so much that I would like to post a link on my website to direct my clients to your book. Do you have an affiliate programme or some way for my clients to access your book and make their donation through my website? I will be re-reading it over the weekend, so much inspiring material! Thanks, Kay
April 21st, 2010 at 3:19 am
Thank you so much David for your generosity. I’ve started reading the book and really enjoy your sense of community. I am part of a group called ISOUL (International Specialists Of Universal Law) and my vision is to see a world where people are aware of their potential and are living it from moment to moment. People learn by example – and I think you are setting a wonderful example. Thank you.
April 21st, 2010 at 3:46 am
Hi David, your book has inspired me so much so far, even though I havent finished it yet, you offer exeptional backing which I’m truly greatful for. I would love to help to change the world in whichever way I can thanx for this opportunity. take care , love deborah
April 21st, 2010 at 4:42 am
Dear David, thanks for the book and for being so generous! I am just reading it and not finished yet, but it is inspiring me…
I am pre-retired, so I left my whole-life-job almost two years ago.. but nevertheless, I would love to earn some money just doing what I like most… (which I never did, by the way)
Just now, I don’t know if I am really good in somothing which can help others, but I surely try to find out…
Thanks for sharing your view and experience..
I hope we’ll be in touch!

Hi David,
Thanks so much for your book. I have been asking myself how I could get my invaluable knowledge of interiors out there and help people create their dream homes and spaces without making the common mistakes. I think you have inspired me, and I have found the answer. Thanks a mill, I wish you all the luck in the world. xx
April 21st, 2010 at 6:31 am
Hi Lise,
I read your comment and I would love to know more about what you are doing. I have a farm that is very fertile. I long to grow great vegetables etc but I do not have much knowledge. I am also a very busy professional and work long hours. If I could access quick easy info on the web it would be a great help….??? What do you think? If you get a site up PLEEEESE let me know.

Hi David,
Well done for beating depression! I have suffered most of my life and also managed to beat it. Now I know the warning signs and deal with it much faster and effectively. Keeping positive company and being gentle on oneself certainly helps a lot. Get going on your e book… the world is waiting!
April 21st, 2010 at 6:42 am
Hi Suzanna,
As I read your comments above I can see your inner being scratching to get out! Write that book , I recently hosted a man from Hungary who had a near death experience and now heads up a wonderful group of people who support each other with love and light. He told us his story, and just like you, his story is inspiring people all over the world in different ways, to live the best life they can. Keep going you quite clearly have a lot to share and give. xx Kira , South Africa

Great, inspiring book David! I’m looking forward to putting what I’ve learned into practice and finding my FREEDOMS!

I am looking forward to breaking out of my 20 something year rut and live and work for myself.
Bring it on.

Merci! beaucoup pour votre livre. Il est très bien structuré mais parfois un
peu difficile pour moi. Je suis francophone et les références sont toutes
en anglais. Aussi, je fais affaire avec
une clientèle francophone.
J’ai tout de même pu en comprendre l’essentiel…et c’est généreux de votre part.
April 21st, 2010 at 6:44 pm
I just started the book and it has been great! I took the Freedom Quiz and am working on my Inner Freedom first. Can’t wait to finish!
April 21st, 2010 at 8:05 pm
Thank’s David for you generous gift. I did not had the time to read the book but weekend is coming and I will for sure read it. It sure will help me to go ahead with my certified organic business.

Hi all,
I would like to inspire artists (dancers, painters, fire-breathing toad collectors, etc) to see the possibility of doing their passions for their living while still living a happy, healthy, and wealthy life. Hmmm, sounds familiar.
My personal art form is dance and that is the one I have put the most of my focus into but I am always trying to look at it from the perspective of how to do this with any art form and I do want all people (not just dancers) to discover how to do it.
I am excited to read David’s book as it seems like it fits right in with my goals. If it does a good job, I would be happy to refer people to David rather than try to create my own version. That way I will be encouraged to continue to focus more on my specific niche of helping dancers get paid to be who they are (without feeling like I am abandoning the rest of the world).
Anyway, those have been my goals for the past couple years, and although I am definitely somewhere on the right track, it is time to start really making them happen. Any suggestions, thoughts, or comments are much appreciated!
April 22nd, 2010 at 2:25 am
Hi David
Thanks for the lovely book, i read it until chapter 2, I took the Freedom quiz and i was so embarrased by the results i got, but hey that does not stop me from achieving all that i need. Keep inspiring us…
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:59 am

Shalom David,
Thank you for your book. It’s tremendously helpful and inspiring.
I’m hoping to create a website and services to help people write their own book of songs.
My own devotional poetry is featured in the ‘notes’ section of my facebook page.
One of my favorite short examples is the following:
I am a petal of Your rose
rubbing shoulders
with Your other soft
scented children
my gentle brothers
and sisters
waiting for You
to breathe us in.
Thanks again. May you be blessed in all your endeavors, and may all the people you inspire enjoy great success, satisfaction and joy.

In 12 month, I will have at least one book finished and am working on my second. The first will be in the process of being published. I am also teaching Yoga to many students of all ages and abilities and am connecting other teachers and students to spread the practice of Yoga to all.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:39 am
I haven’t finished reading the book yet, unfortunately many time constraints. I want to help people with learning disabilities overcome their difficulties with the “system” and achieve success. I don’t know how I would do this over the Internet, but I’m very interested to find out. I am a retired teacher in Special Education and I am working on a book about famous successful people with little formal education.

I will have built a personal/career coaching business with other talented coaches outside my current full-time job where I earn an additional $20K per year. We will also offer specialized workshops as well as coach individuals. I will spend one month away in the sun in the winter months when it is dark, gray and raining here. My life will be in balance with my work, fitness with a new life partner.

Hi, Everyone,
I’ve been looking for an extra boost to my practice. This is easy to follow and dovetails wonderfully with what I’ve been doing and what I’m planning now.
I’m a spiritual sexuality coach. I help singles and couples transform their relationship with Sex, Self, Others and the Divine. I do this through private sessions and sex-positive speaking events to help my clients realize that great sex is not only your birthright, but is also one of the most direct and enjoyable ways to connect to your Divinity/Goddess/God/Higher Power (insert favorite word here).
Can’t wait to hear all your ideas!
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:12 pm
David:
Thanks for the book; it is helping me consolidate and clarify vision……….loved the 30 second elevator plug idea.
Almost everyone prays to their “God”, but the real purpose of prayer is to hear from “God”. Prayer is like a GUI; what can one do to hear and see more clearly? How does one release the experiential presence of God?
If we were created to bear the image of God; what does that look like? How does one make this real in the next fifteen minutes? What has God all ready said to you? Your response to what He all ready said is in your heart…all know what He said to them and their response. If one claims to not remember, ask Him and He will reveal it again, and again, and again.
To develop prayer as a tool to hear from God in the next fifteen minutes………so anyone can hear from God in the next fifteen minutes………that is the goal.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:39 pm

April 22nd, 2010 at 9:19 pm
my thoughts of have an internet site would be something for relaxation.calming the inner sprit to get in tune with the universe. helping to find there core of faith and value to be able to exercise,eat the food the body is in need of . tuning into your self for the food of life and not just to eat food of choice
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:04 pm
Hi David –
Thank you so much for the ebook. I am happy that I was able to contribute to the laptop project. That is a blessing and a great idea.
As an IT professional, I felt long ago, that technology will drive the next 30 years, much like the Industrial Revolution, drove the economy in the late 1800s.
I am a web developer and do design websites for others and in 1996 launched my dog breeding business web site that not only has been well-respected, but garnered me a 4-level promotion at the time. I still remain an IT professional, and while I work for government, I love what I do, because the job gives me the flexibility to show the dogs.
As a single woman, divorced almost 7 years ago, I have come to realize that I am blessed with talents and gifts to share.
I have also discovered that I love to write. I am enjoying sharing and exploring the universe and its positive effects on life in a daily posting on Facebook called, “Today’s gratitude.” I got the idea to start that as a blog and while I’m not sure I can sell anything there, I feel empowered because I can help someone to be inspired, that’s awesome!!
I have started to read your ebook, Dave, and I think it’ll be a great adventure!!
Thank YOU for your positive spin on this and for all your hard work.

Hi Kira! Good to hear that you want to grow things. I don’t have a website just yet. Send me an email on lise.racine@bigpond.com and I’ll keep you posted as soon as I get running. In the meantime you can check this site http://www.goldcoastorganic.com/ It is the Gold Coast Organic Growers Club that I am a member of. I gave a little presentation this month on growing garlic. The easiest to start with, even for a busy professionnal is growing your greens: lettuce, some bitter greens and herbs to accompany (coriander, parsley). That way you can have a green salad a day. Great satisfying way to start.
Keep well

Excellent, Tara. I have a girlfriend who used to host them. She said that the company was started for men and women who had intimacy issues, which is a good thing. Sexuality is to be something to be enjoyed and shared with one you love.
Thank you for posting. I wish you success always, in your endeavors.

David,
I can honestly say it is brilliant, I mean brilliant. I am training as a Coach and supporting my fiances business and got her to read it. The book has blown her away already and she is only on page 30. I have also ‘insisted’ a dear friend reads it as he is working so hard and not making enough money.
I am so impressed that I am going to order some of your Coaching material.
Also tomorrow I am on a course – ‘The book your were born to write’ – as your book has given me a new push and stacks of ideas.
You are a breath of fresh air.
William
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:20 am
Thanks for sharing your book. Although only half way through it, you have inspired me to refocus on my website and the dream I put in action over two ago. I have contacted a potential partner that does some work in an area that would mesh well with what I do. I am have set up a business meeting for next week and I am very anxious to get the ball rolling. I can’t wait to finish my first read through this weekend and get more things rolling. Thanks again for the motivation I needed.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:24 am
I’m enjoying the book. I am cvurrently working on my freebie. I was able to quickly put together the newsletter as that is something I had been thinking about for a while. Thank you for all the suggested sources. It is so wonderful to have this source.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:30 am
I am so happy and grateful that through partnering with individuals and families to create a supplemental income stream I have developed my own residual income stream of $15,000 per month. I live a life committed to excellence, freedom, abundance and service. I have unlimited time to spend with my husband and children. Together we enjoy gardening, cooking, playing and traveling. Everywhere we are we meet fabulous and interesting people that desire the quality of life we lead.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:31 am
I’ve just started digging through the book – just knew I had to have it. I will be spending more time with it this weekend.
I am about to graduate with my advanced teacher training yoga certificate (been doing this one weekend a month for the last two years!) and I’m focused on making “work” a thing of my past.
I’ve already scheduled a day retreat, booked the space, set up my event using eventbrite.com, and I’m now working on the training material for the event.
Besides teaching yoga and teaching how to live from the inside out, I’m working on becoming a wildly successuful writer.
I have two blogs and I host a radio show on blogtalk radio.
I can’t wait to finally get paid for who I am!!
Thanks,
Peggy Nolan

Twelve months from now I envision a life where I am able to reach out and help others live a more fulfilling, enriching life and spending lots of quality time with friends and family. All financial worries will be gone as that is consuming my thoughts right now and that is not where I want to be!
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:51 am
In twelve months from now I want to be able to give my family the quality of life they deserve. I will be doing that by helping people achieve abundance, health and wellness. We will have no worries about where we are going to be or what will happen in 3 months.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:51 am
Hello David,
I am happy to be able to contribute towards the laptop and you are a god send to us who are in need of encouragement and lacking in self worth or belief.
I have not finish reading your book yet but I will soon.I am what you call jack of all trade master of none,I have put off from achieving my goals for so long now,I have lots of ideas but my English and lack of computer skill and not really knowing what I really want to do stops me.
Your book kind of a slapped me in the face which I needed and here hoping to get the financial freedom so I can retire soon by helping others which will be really cool because that is what I do best and enjoy!
Keep up the good work David.
God bless.

Hi David,
1st I will like to start of by saying thank you I am extremely grateful… I have not stopped talking about this book since I received it. Many of my friends know I read books like “think and grow rich” “the power of now” and also right now “get paid for who you are” Many of them think its a joke the funny thing is I don’t.
This is a great page turner with heaps of gems throughout. I enjoy reading books over and over almost until I can remember verses I see this as one of those great books to recommend, pass along, keep on the night stand, read while on a flight and so forth… you get my drift.
David once agin I Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do. I look forward to the day our paths meet and we can talk about this great gift that you have extend to all.
Thank you,
Mike
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:03 am
Dear David,
Your book is simply brilliant and very inspiring, thank you so much for sharing it with us!
What do I want my life to be 12 months from now?
First, my husband would have a job(he has been out of job for 12 months now). I am on my way to having a child.
Second, we’ve moved to a new home: new house, new neighborhood.
Third: everything else in my life, from inside out, has been improved: my health is better, my character has changed from shy to more out-going, we are having more good friends.
Fourth: I am on my way of building a career I’ve always desired, in which I can use my God-given talents.
I love your book, David, “getting paid for who you are” is a brilliant idea.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:05 am
A very good friend insisted I read your book. A third of the way through it, and I already have a team in place for creating an easier way for people to learn about and recognize antiques/collectibles. Thank you. I will be tweeting about your book this evening. All the Best!
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:11 am
Well David, after you look at my blog, which is all over the place, you can tell that I am a born traveler, even as a child growing up poor, but really didn’t know I was, my parents never let us think or feel like that. I was the youngest, and the one that never wanted a government job, I wanted to work for myself, and travel. I wanted to be a fashion buyer, almost happened, but went to Europe with school, that was it. I started traveling, living in Hawaii, and almost Berlin, Athens, Barcelona and where I made friends, I would call home. Coming from a black family from the south, then moving to LA in the late 40′s your parents were still fearful and not very trusting of white people. You see, I would spend weeks and be the only black person on photos sent home to my family. They worried about me. Although my Dad was the main reason why those travel benefits were so important. He came from a large family, and he attended every birthday, wedding, funeral, graduation and it didn’t matter where and when, he was on a plane going somewhere to be with family. He even ended up on one of my layovers in Honolulu, and I saw pic later. So now that I took the early retirement and my dad has passed, it is still in me. I am now an Interior Designer, not working, and doing some network marketing, not working, and I need to make a plan, make some money and get on a plane. I’m a giver, money hasn’t meant much until now, I’ve always had access to it.I really would love for people to find their passion, and pursue it. Is this a book or a story, not sure, but it’s my life. P.S. I never got around to having children, I love being aunt Debbie, and relationships were few and far between too. Trust me, there is a lot more…
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:19 am
OMG! You asked so much, I forgot, in 12 months I’m sure I will be traveling, BUT I’ve gotten involved with Mona Vie, the incredible Fortune 500 company that distributes the acai beery drink, and The More Foundation in Brazil where the berries are harvested. I plan on staying a distributor and helping people stay healthy and be wealthy if they chose to. I love Brazil, so in 12 months I would love to be there helping the workers so I can send money home to my nieces and nephews, they are starting families now. That’s It.P,S. I loved the book.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:49 am
I am Still reading your book! I find it absolutely fascinating and am on my third reading. Thank you for making such a generous offer. I have spread the word through my personal email and FaceBook.
I love your creativity!
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:21 am
Thank you very much for the book. In twelve months from now I will be getting paid for what I love the most “aerial acrobatics” I have worked very hard for over a two years getting myself flixible, overcoming the fear of height and learning to move gracefully while defying gravity. I am currently working in a office as an accountant but I am totally focus that I will transition to work for a major show in 12 months or sooner.
Thank you again
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:49 am
Thank you so much for the book and for your insight. Twelve months from now I will be helping others who have been hurt by cults find happiness. I will also be financially free and enjoying life with my family!
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:55 am
Hi David –
12 months from now, my lovely wife and I will be spending our days creating “content,” while the systems to which you have introduced us will be churning away in the background, making money while we sleep! I only read the book a couple of days ago – in one sitting, but in that short amount of time we have settled on a tag, “We help folks become more self-sufficient, on a shoestring,” settled on a business name, “Shoestring Sufficiency,” established a website with Weebly, upgraded to Pro, established an account with Mailchimp, began work on our first newsletter, began collecting contact info for the newsletter distribution, launched a Facebook page, started laying the groundwork for a conference call session (as you described), and other stuff, too! We are working on the systems now, so they will work FOR us later.
Thanks so much for the inspiration, but also for the practical step-by-step instruction. You are, Da Man.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:09 am
Hi everyone,
It always is so interesting to read these posts as it drives home the fact that there are so many people all over the world with the same thoughts and problems!
I have a general question/comment for those “Think & Grow Rich” and Esther Hicks readers-and I am one of you
Like many of you, I want my financial picture to be one of abundance, not lack, and I know I have to focus on what I want and how I feel, rather than focusing on what I don’t want and how I stressed I feel. My question (or more of a comment really) is how to “flip the switch” and mean it when you are having stressful financial thoughts, e.g. rent is due soon and I hope I have it! Also, are there others out there who have become freaked out when a bad thought gets in for fear of manisfestation of that thought?
I look forward to your comments
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:29 am
Hi David,
I love your book and I have been transforming my life for the past few years to do exactly what you are talking about in your book. Keep up the good work! Take care, Jill Davis from Alaska, jdlostcoast!!
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:05 pm
David,
Your book came to me in such a way that i really think it was divine intervention. I read the success pricipals 2 years ago and managed to lose
75 pounds and leave a REALLY unhappy marriage. Since I was a stay at home Mom for 14 years and no college education I was terrified at the prospects of having to go get a job. Over the years I have educated myself on so many topics and when your book came to me I thought, “What the hell could I Teach”. I went from a Fat Frumpy miserable HouseWife to A Fabulous Fit Happy Person. Still not sure how I’m going to do this but I’m jumping in!!!
Thank You
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:05 pm
In 12 months from now on I will have passed my driving lincence, succesfully set up a runnning website with two or three online products to share and to sell. From this website I will earning a good income about 500 dollars a week and I will be able to go traveling and will be able to have lots of fun in different areas.
April 23rd, 2010 at 1:05 pm
I have been taking courses on the interne and making money and they are all so damn complicated. I am about 50 pages into the book and I am getting excited that maybe now I will get IT! It feels good so far.
April 23rd, 2010 at 1:08 pm
Hi David (and Holly):
I truly loved this book, and sent the link off to friends who I knew would be inspired by your work.
I am replying to Holly´s comment–about creating a mindset of abundance in the midst of the appearance of lack. I am conducting a thought experiment to show how to do just that. For her, and others like her, I would suggest daily meditation, and affirmations. What worked wonderfully for me was focusing on a specific time goal (as in TGR), and inundating myself with prosperity teachings (such as Abraham, Hill, Wattles, Proctor, etc). Also, check out Sandy Forester´s work.
All it takes is your making the decision to see the outcome you desire–no matter what! And steering yourself back on course when you start to forget the Truth.
Have fun with it, and ask yourself for guidance!
Thanks again David…you have helped me more than you could know!
Sincerely,
Ebony Watts

Your book has created quite a dilemma! When I first read through it and did all the things suggested in Chapter 3 and Section B to find my ‘niche’, I came out with a certain topic. But then the more I thought about my life and the more potential ‘freedom buddy’s introduced themselves to me, I realised there are multiple things I can share. So where to begin. What is the most important one to choose? Which one helps the most people? Which one will help ME the most to fulfil my purpose? I am now more confused than ever
April 23rd, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Not sure what you mean by silver linings and clouds?
April 23rd, 2010 at 4:00 pm
Yes, it is. Especially when that condition results in frightening places like homelessness. There’s a horrible helplessness to it all. Hopefully, the time spent in the library reading David’s book on the computer will help us all find the light at the end of this deep, dark tunnel…
April 23rd, 2010 at 6:35 pm
be careful Lisa, there’s one right path, and all the rest lead into chaos and….
kidding! pick one, see how it feels

lol – i think we’re allowed to have negative thoughts.
Fear of fearful thoughts is just more fear, right?
Welcome them in, love them…

Hi Holly! Thanks for sharing your awesome question/comment.
I’ve been blessed with a pretty awesome/interesting personal story to share:
I’ve been living and running my business out a studio in the basement of a large home for 3 years. The landlords are stunningly loving people (as I tend to attract
).
Recently, due to a series of extremely interesting events, it’s been awkward to pay them rent. First time I was late in 3 years, then 2nd time lol.
Then they had a ‘chat’ with me.
To some people this is a foreboding, life-threatening, scariest-thing-ever.
It definitely felt awkward, and I listen to my feelings.
And it is certainly a chance to indulge in un-abundant thinking:
“Oh no, I can’t pay rent, no money’s coming in, etc.”, and depending on where you’re at in life, it can certainly be tempting, and many people would.
So what did I do?
I told my landlord it was not fair to him, or myself to keep imposing on their generosity/patience, if signs from the universe are saying “J, dude… we’re not letting you pay rent here, you have to move, or become more miserable.”
So I gave them notice and I immediately felt MUCH better.
I’d paid last month’s, so I had a month breathing space to find a place to live.
1 week later, outstanding accounts had paid up, a tax check came from the gov’t. and 3 people referred 3 new clients.
After months of stagnation, I felt like I’d been rewarded/guided by the universe for making the ‘right’ decision.
1 week after that I had SIX people offer me a place to live, 2 of them strangers, 4 of them for free.
Still,
I did not panic or rush into any decision. I kept doing my thing, helping clients, working on products, publishing content, and setting up events!
And I put out some more feelers, for an even BETTER place.
As the end of the month approached, I STILL had not chosen to make arrangements with anyone.
Now this is another socially atypical decision, as most people would begin to secure a place, take people up on their offers, and let them have some notice that they’d be receiving a new tenant.
For me, it did not feel right though. I always do what feels right. All the places were miles away and tiny, and I feel like the heart and pulse of the city. I do things there
Long travel and commute, though I’m super comfortable with them and have done it tons of times in life — felt awkward. And I always listen to my feelings, so I chose different thoughts.
6 days before I had to move, I was mostly packed but with NO IDEA where I was going. My business and life seemed to be in chaos. To anyone looking, I’m completely f***ed up.
Still I did what felt right.
5 days before I had to move, I posted on craigslist looking for a free/cheap place to live. That night, someone responded and said they had a lot of space, they’re usually in New York, and they’d love some “good energy” to liven up the place.
Yes, I felt touched by God, like a miracle. One day I just decided, I’m moving this month. Told the landlord. Then I proceeded to refuse offers of places for the entire month. Then I posted some random-shot-in-the-dark-craigs-ad and had an instant response, offering me a free space for being awesome.
Who does this?
Lol!
Anyway,
4 days before I had to move, I setup a meeting with the guy. Turned out the place was an art studio in The Beaches — a coveted, quaint, upscale, highly desired neighborhood — in the heart of the city.
omg.
Pure awesome
How did I manifest that?
Faith, trust, love, acceding control to the universe, believing in miracles, being ballsy and crazy and doing what FELT RIGHT. I always follow my feelings.
Did worrying feel right? Nope, it felt like s***. So I didn’t worry.
Did running around chasing clients or houses feel right? Nope, it felt crappy. So I didn’t do that.
What felt right? What felt right was to push it til the end and anticipate the inevitable miracle. Similar to Ebondy, I ‘inundated’ great word myself with spiritual teaching after spiritual teaching, but this was merely an after-effect of my own determined thought to do what feels right.
So there’s my story, I hope you’you guys are able to gain some value from it. Thanks so much for giving me a chance to share.
Holly you rock, thanks for inspiring ME to this outpouring.
David, you rock, I love what you’re doing and how you’re inspiring so so many.
Sincerely,
-J

I AM an artist living on less than $400. a month but I AM rich of billions of ideas and skills and I love to create and helping people to create or recreate themselves. Now after reading only these first 30 pages of the book I see all possibilities and the light through that tunnel of 64 years . So I am already celebrating an idea of helping especially children first to receive through school cafeteria a $1.00 green smoothie a week then going to give them a raw food meal a month to increase their health and education through perfect health. All that on their own free will.. This is a first idea. I have many more but I have to begin by one. So in September it will be in full action.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:12 am
Hello everybody,
A couple of month ago, well, almost a year I’ve discovered this new way to a different life, created by me and not by others. So I’ve been reading a lot of books to get a bit of the experience of enlighten people, I saw movies and most important I’ve started to get to know myself from zero. To find the real me, behind the Ego. And I am on the right track so I decided to become some sort of a waiter: I put the plate with goodies on the table (information about a different way of life) and if somebody wants to take a bite, I am happy to join him. If not, no harm done). I also made a free services to anyone just to make friends: http://www.traiesteliber.ro (that is live free in romanian language) and there are people that enjoy it already. My wish is to grow this website into a motivational and spiritual one, where people find themselves! I want to be free from all imaginary ropes that hold me back! I want as many people is possible to be free!
April 24th, 2010 at 6:43 am
Hi J,
Thank you so much for sharing your great story! That is amazing and definitely a testament of how powerful our thoughts are.
It is so easy to fall in old patterns of fear based thinking, which makes you feel like crap, and accomplishes nothing. The funny thing is that I know better-and whenever I follow those feel good thoughts, things always go my way
Time to turn the beat around, lol!
Thanks David for your book, by the way
April 24th, 2010 at 6:49 am
PS:
I wanted to add my 12 month dream to the mix:
-be out of debt and live life to the fullest having financial freedom
-my business will be fully booked everyday and I am able to hire a manager so I can pursue other personal interests a few days a week
-make money while I sleep with online businesses
-inspire others to achieve their goals for whatever freedoms they desire
April 24th, 2010 at 7:29 am
Mmm, nice book — smooth reading, clever touches.
Knew most of it all along but the scheme doesn’t fit me as I have an offline product and just too damn niche at that. Yet since that’s me there’s no giving up. Meow.
April 24th, 2010 at 8:57 am
I want to make a better connection with myself, to draw/play/create more honestly, without fear allowing excessive pre-editing.
Kind of funny, eh? I want to be able to know what I want better…
heh
April 24th, 2010 at 9:05 am
David, your book was an interesting read. I already knew how to setup a website, what it takes to create a product etc…. but what I needed was MOTIVATION! And your book did the job of motivating me very well! 12 months from now, I see myself as a lil’ ninja who’s learned the baby steps and is ready to take a stand!
April 24th, 2010 at 9:47 am
Hi, David, I have not started reading yet, because some pages are missing, but I did look through the beginning and I love your attitude, your compassion and your common-sense – an unusual combination! I’ll now start reading it anyway, because I feel a great relief to be able to earn some “means of Exchange” but was held back by guilt about focussing on money. Your approach uncovers a lot of guilts and fears for me. My passions are rhythm in poetry, dance and in most aspects of life. My cosmic dance continues, even though I am an elderly widowed pensioner. I should have been in the world of drama, as I still feel like a 25-yr-old, dance and drum like a 40-yr-old and feel a joie de vivre which is not always acceptable to “normal” people in this insane world. So in spite of my age, I still want to achieve a career entertaining people with dancing, poetry and rhythm, also in the therapeutic sense. I am severely restricted through lack of money, but also lack of confidence. Thank you, David, for bringing compassion and sanity into a field that is usually a “dog-eat-dog” area. How can I communicate with you when I come to the missing pages?
Love and gratitude, Mindi
April 24th, 2010 at 11:31 am
Thanks for the wonderful book David. I see myself in 12 months with a first rate book written and published and several well paid speaking engagements. Haven’t narrowed down my niche quite yet…right now it’s women 40+ who want to have a home based business so they can have a flexible, portable lifestyle while making plenty of money.
Warmly,
Ann
April 24th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
thanks for the book, have not “taken” time yet to read it,but will!!!bless you.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
I’ve read about half of the book and determined to follow through. My technological abilities are limited and I hope that it will be as simple as you say.
Luckily, I already have a website with all the trimmings and the products plus a mailing list of approx. 1,500.
Fingers crossed that it will work.
THANK YOU for your great idea and for helping people to get started. Nothing feels better than sharing who you are.
April 24th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
Hello Mini, I’ve read your post and it touched my heart because I sense so much sadness there.
I can totally relate to you when you say that although being in a mature body you still feel internally young, but i look at it from a positive point of view: everything in life has its price and the price of age comes with a maturity and approach to life that is priceless. I wouldn’t want to be a day younger than I am because it would mean losing a day of my life experience. Instead I love, nurture, nourish and treat my body the best I can every day, and keep it as fit and healthy as possible so that it can support my young and vivacious spirit.
Lots of Love & Light to you.
April 24th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Omar, you said what I feel… MOTIVATION is what we need the most and so often it just goes out the window. David’s book has done that for me, too… rekindled some lost motivation. Nice to read that someone else feels the same way. Let’s motivate each other whenever we need it.
April 24th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
CONGRATULATIONS, Traian, You are on the right track!
April 24th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Lisa, I suggest you make a list of all the things you have to share and then pick the one you think would appeal and be helpful to most people. That’s a start. If it works you can add the others later, if it doesn’t you try the next one on your list and so on.
April 24th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
LOVE it, Christina. You are fabulous… keep going. David’s tag line sounds great.
April 24th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
What a lovely and encouraging line-up of comments and sharing of stories. It just goes to show that the Universe will test us before handing over the rewards. It takes courage, strength and determination to be successful and these aren’t attained over night, but by facing adversity and overcoming obstacles. Only then will be appreciate and grateful for our achievements.
Thanks to you all for sharing your story and to David for kicking this off.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Hey there & David … THANK YOU for all that you’re doing. I’m feeling this one will work for me. Have paid for lots in the last couple of years but not moved forward. Here’s to this being ‘the one’ to get ME started.
A lovely surprise to see you here Anna Morten – as always you’re moving onwards and upwards.
For me …. wish to make a home based business (for now) that grows and grows and grows. It’s a HUGE concept that starts with sharing methodologies for conscious parenting, and generally living from our most natural state, love. It has many legs – creativity, education, experience, writing books, speaking engagements, conferences (playshops) etc. I shall expand more as I go through this process.
I look forward to helping others to help themselves and consequently, helping our universal energy and connection. YAY! Here’s to the fun.
I am currently using a number of modalities, including Nikken products, to help me help others. As my own website is still being created (www.bodhiandme.com) I am sharing my Nikken website ie http://www.enikken.com.au/globalhum. Happy to join all of we who are being paid for who we are. Yay!
April 24th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
I can tell to all of you that David’s book is really really good.
Basically what i did was read it and act on it right away then and there!
You will get cool results by doing that, so thanks again David for the good stuff and everybody should know that this is a really great book as i said before
You can find out what my website looks like so far with the tips David gives in this book: http://www.rijkdomvanbinnenuit.nl/ (it’s in Dutch so most of u might not be able to understand it)
But know from me, i got inspired by this book to make it happen this book is a really good roadmap to use!
Kind regards,
Ranil
April 24th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
I haven’t started reading yet but I am looking forward to it. One year from now I will be enjoying the fruit of my labour. I am working towards my dreams right now and I know that the knowledge I have yet to learn from this book will assist me to reach my goals faster. My passion is to help others realise their worth and that we all deserve a life of abundance in all areas.I wish everyone here all the best with there story!
April 24th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
good for you Ranil – great to see you acting so fast.
April 24th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Welcome Anna Morten – currently the top poster on the blog! You’re definitely off to a strong start.
April 24th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
Hi Mindi – now I’m a bit worried. In 1600 blog posts noone has mentioned missing pages. More info? I’ll email you now.
And we are definitely here to support you, and looking forward to your success story

Hello Holly, J, Ebony, J and All!
My story is pretty crazy and my life to most of the world is a disaster but….I am happy I have been getting a pretty clear message for years about a Tropical Spa Retreat I am supposed to open. Last year I experienced 7 foreclosures, a divorce and bankruptcy. I cashed in my life insurance policy to move to Panama where I had lined up a place to stay and an idea of how I would make money while I worked on my business plan to get the Spa Retreat going there. Nothing I had set up worked out how they were anticipated and a friend in Costa Rica said if I could make it there I could regroup at her place. I checked out possibilities in Costa Rica in case that was where I was supposed to set up shop. While I had some awesome “National Geographic” experiences, after a couple months I realized that wasn’t the place for me of the retreat center. A friend helped me back to FL and in a few weeks I went to CA to visit my kids and parents and investigate a business proposal. The dream opportunity was handed me on a silver platter. Someone wanted to partner with me in setting up a similar Spa Retreat in CA then expanding to another location like…Panama. The money was there and I have many connections in CA. No matter what I did, I couldn’t generate an ounce of enthusiasm about the deal. When I did tell the people about my decision not to be involved, I felt high and happy. Now I am back in FL helping my friend with some of his business/personal organization in exchange for a roof, food, transportation and even occasional entertainment. I’m not sure How I will manifest the Spa Retreat but I know if it is for everyone’s highest good, the Universe will show me the next door to walk through. I don’t enjoy doing a lot on the computer as I prefer being out in nature so it is my intention to manifest a similarly minded partner who knows the computer and is passionate about playing in front of it. I know part of my mission on this planet is to be a teacher so I know I’m doing that living every day of my life in joy no matter what comes my way. For now I have a blog http://www.universal-wellness.blogspot.com which I share with a number of folks who are interested. I also have a web-site with tons of awesome potential but just don’t want to spend the time learning how to make everything work (did that already then the whole program changed). So basically I am following the paths I am shown and have no regrets for any points along the journey. Since my main goals are peace and happiness, you could say I’m reaching them every day.
Thanks for reading, thanks for your shares and thanks David for getting this powerful, positive ball rolling!
Love & DeLight ~ Michelle

Isn’t it somewhat magical that our paths are crossing again? I am thrilled to be connected with you again and look forward to what the future holds for us both.
Best of luck and lots of love & Light your way, always.

Thank you, David. I’ve every intention to make things happen and hope to overcome that little bit of anxiety where the technical side of things is concerned. BUT that’s not going to stop me.

Hi David,
I am close to the beginning of your book. Very exciting and empowering!
In 12 months I will be moving, location unknown. I want to do something with American religious (old time) folk music. My vision includes financial independence and excellent health. I am confident the strategies for implementing and achieving this vision will come to me utilizing your methods and advice.

David, David.
I started reading your book on the plane back from New York to Florida. What has spoken to me so far, is that I am going to narrow my focus in my help to others who are out of work. Since everyone is going down this road, I have started to think about the many out there who are still employed. My mission for them is to help them plan an annual review strategy that will almost gurantee them that they will get a raise in the neighborhood of 15% and more rather then the usual 2% cost of living increase. My method is to teach the candidate to take charge of the interview and to prepare them so well that they sell their boss on additional money because they really deserve it, not because they need it.
If I can effectively do this,I will have build a repeat business customer who will come back to me at least once a year for advise. Then I can teach them the other tricks I have in my bag.
Thanks so much for getting me off dead center.
I will keep you posted.

@Holly: Totally my pleasure and I can feel the shift in your attitude, it’s beautiful.
@David, it feels to me as if you personally read and reply to many of this 700+ comment thread.
That is so bad@$$ to me.
I love it.

Hi David,
First,many thanks for the priceless GIFT.GOD bless your efforts.
I have read several books on self-improvement but this one is ‘it’.Why?because it has step-by-step instructions.
Iam not through yet but i can assure anybody out there that it’s an invaluable resource-A must-have.
To gain my freedom(in all respect)i’m pursuing Copywriting to get me to ‘successville’
Once more,thanks David.

David,
My dream is to teach self-development online in emails, mp3′s and PDF’s. The project is called “Learn from the Giants” based on a book I’ve written/edited, “10,000 Years of Wisdom”, my first give-a-way after July 1, 2010. In addition to short daily encouraging pump-me-up emails, each week I’ll distribute a one hour MP3 called the “BASIDA Broadcasts”. BASIDA stands for the six things that define your life, they are your: Beliefs, Attitudes, Skills, Ideas, Decisions & Actions. We all have five parts that collectively make up our lives, they are our: Brain (ability to think), Body (a life-support system for our brain), Relationships, Time Management & Money Management. The finished product will be structured like a radio newscast with pre-recorded call-ins and special expert guest interviews. Subscribers can download the MP3, burn it as a CD and listen to it in the car or upload it to their iPod and listen anywhere, anytime. I am following what you’re doing and you’re headed in the right direction. Best of luck, Jim Vaughan, Editor, Learn from the Giants.
April 25th, 2010 at 5:57 am
I’ve written a short story called Xellon. Long before Avatar came out, my story was written. If you go to my website and look at the left hand side of my web page, you will see a link called Living A Debt Free Life. Towards the middle of this article, you will find a few chapters of Xellon. I would like anyone who has the time to look at it and make comments on it. It will help my creative process.

Thank you David. My path has taken me to teach yoga, meditation, study with Jack Canfield’s BTS, Hale Dwoskin’s Sedona Method on Releasing, Reiki 1 and 2 healing and most recently Deeksha Meditation as a Blessing Giver. All these tools are helpful in NPOWALK4PEACE, weekly walks here in Japan as well as worldwide walks, guiding people to a peaceful heart of causeless joy. Until now, I have funded it myself but would like to take it to a broader audience full time. I’m also on Facebook. This funding is my next step. Then “Peace Festivals”.

I am looking for a way to be free things are of no interest to me only experiences. I want a life full of experiences of meeting people learning to free my mind of all the limited constricts that I have been raised with all the limiting beliefs that tell me to settle with what I have because it is so much easier than taking a risk and now I stand at the precipice of the unknown with excitement in my heart. For a new adventure lays ahead freeing myself from fear is my largest challenge and I choose to keep moving despite of it. I am resigned that money is required to achieve what I need so that I can travel from one place to another so that I can offer any wisdom so that I can learn and truley live. I hope some of what I learn from your book will help me get yet another step closer.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:47 am

I visited your website. May I give you a (constructive) criticism? The very the first sentence I read is a negative. “Dreaming is the hardest thing to do…” I think it’s the easiest thing to do, making those dreams come true is much harder than actually dreaming them.
Negatives turn people off, because they’ve got to deal with hard things every day of their lives. Encourage and motivate them by starting with a positive, compelling statement.
April 25th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Make a list of everything you like about yourself and another list with all the things you don’t like about yourself. Then pick the top 5 things you really like about yourself and focus on them only. THAT way you tap into your true potential! Build on it and the honest creativity will happen because you are focussing on the positive only.

I think fearful thoughts only create more of the same. Better to replace any fearful thought immediately with a positive one – even if it’s fake. It still works and gradually eliminates fear.
April 25th, 2010 at 4:12 pm
Thanks David. I guess I did sound a tad manic. I will indeed take your advice. And besides, I’m a woman, so I can multitask!
April 25th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
Thank you Anna. I guess I’m hesitant to share what I know best, because I’ve tried in the past in the form of a book but nobody seemed to need it. I have spent 30 years in the music industry and know the business inside and out. I also know the importance of the psychology behind being a successful artist, and that’s what I know best that I can share. If anyone has a suggestion for a website title, I’m open to it!!
Thanks again Anna.

Denise, I feel inspired by your post as I just completed 12 months of coaching training. Like you,in a year from now,I see my coaching business flourish and expand mostly through word of mouth as my clients “brag” about their great results and the inspiration they received during the coaching sessions.
All the best to you and I see your success and the blessing that you are to the world.

In 12 months I will 100,000 subscribers to my newsletter.
I will have finished my book and I will have found a publisher.
I will have completed 10 paid speaking engagements, having been paid at least $2,500 for each engagement.
I will have crashed the server for TrulyInspiredParent.com at least once because of a surge of volume!
Of course, I will be at least as happy and grateful as I am now.

David,
First off I want to thank you for you book and program. This is
exactly what I was looking for. I have struggled with dead end jobs
for several years now and even went to school but didn’t feel
satisfied. I shuttered at working like this the rest of my life. So
thank you.
As for some advice. I am having a hard time with several things. First
is narrowing my niche. I have a few hobbies and things I enjoy but
because of things I haven’t been able to get good at them even by your
standards, (no I’m not making excuses or limiting myself). For example
I love hiking but have been on a total of ten hikes. I plan to create
a site for that after I get back into hiking once I get FREEDOM. What
I immediately thought about for an option is very broad. I have been
through loss (many loved ones have died), I have lived with financial
burden, I have worked dead end jobs, I have gained weight and am
currently losing it. I have gone from a weak individual to someone
that is constantly striving to better myself. So the idea I had was to
create a site for helping individuals with personal problems. I wanted
to create some of your “special reports”. I also enjoy writing. So I
was thinking of writing an eBook. Once my business takes hold to
continue to write. I would even like to write a novel. That’s another
story altogether. But do you see my problem? Everyone has personal
issues. I can’t think of a way to narrow it down. Yes my limiting
factor is I’m still young and so those issues aren’t experienced yet.
So one idea I had was to create the site for personal growth. Then
start with one problem. Help that grow, then add from there. Do the
research and study that I need. I however feel that is limiting me. I
want to share with people all that I know. I see people every day
struggling with so many things. I want to help them. Maybe I’m just
being impatient. Any other options or ideas you have would be great.
Also I’m still kind of sketchy on the Freedom buddy. I can see the
advantages of a partner. If they weren’t willing to be a partner i
don’t see the benefit.
I plan to make this into a full time thing for me. I am done
struggling with money. I am tired of working hard to get someone else
rich. I have the dedication and will to make this work. I probably
will ask for advice from you again.
Thanks again and take care,
Jeremy R.

Hi there David,
I figured that the one thing that I have a lot of is Knowledge. Through my life and life’s obstacles I have accumulated a vast amount of information on a huge number of subjects. My vision is to have a site that has information that people can use. To help people through sitations that I have been through from being a single parent to undestanding why stuff happens and to help them understand what truly magnificent and wonderful beings we all are. The life I envision is one where I have enough of everything for all my children and some left over for me too. I cant wait ;o)
April 26th, 2010 at 12:26 am
How cool Peter, let me know when it gets published. It sounds awesome
April 26th, 2010 at 2:23 am
Hi David,
I really appreciate the book and you for introducing the book and giving it for free. I doubt if I would be able to pay for the book if it has to be weighed on the value on each line. Many thanks!
I came to realize that there are so many things I do, and have in mind that the book talks about. I have come to realize that I need to get going no matter, cancel procrastination, fears and other things that will stop me from moving on, in my life.
My joy had been helping people and that is where I want to be – help and make impact in peoples’ lives.
David, I will appreciate working with you on my project.
Mercy.

dear david,
your book is very inspiring. after reading it i feel there is a lot i can share with others. i have over two decades experience in sales, marketing, sales training, managerial training. while reading it looked so simple and doable but i am unable to understand as to where to start from. kindly guide.

April 26th, 2010 at 3:58 am
You got a website?
If not build a website as David tells you about in the book
Because really all you have to do is follow those basic steps! When u have done that, then you can focus on getting yourself more subscribers to your newsletters and when that happens u will get more people that will know about u!
I don’t know if u have a website but i can assure u when u do and it tells you about your service etc.. it inspires you to do more you will feel an inner impuls that will let you know what to do next.
Hope this made sense to you if not let me know =)
April 26th, 2010 at 4:00 am
Cool! Good luck with that, hope to see the results in the future that would be fun!

The website that I wanted you to visit and comment on was http://www.xellon.org. You my other website for Mastermind Associates. I do start out with a negative but I qualify it with the continued statement which goes, dreaming and having those dreams come true is sometimes the hardest thing to do. Without help from the people around you and those similarly as you do, it is quite hard to make your dreams come true. Everyone needs help and that’s why I enjoyed your comment:).

David,
My family and I have been affected by the current economic crisis so I was not sure I could purchase your book and I did not want to get it w/out some sort of donation. But, when I clicked on your link to just check out the annoucement, I thought well, let me check the budget and I’ll think about getting it. To my surprise, I guess the automatic process sent me the book anyway because I clicked on the link!! I did not have a donation to send, but there was the book! It is awesome and I’m home today from work, putting some of your suggestions into practice with regarding my Life Coaching Practice. It is awesome and an answer to prayer!! Thank you for being such a blessing!! I will keep you posted and I feel more confident that I will be able to come up out of the financial downturn as I move forward to do the things I love.
April 26th, 2010 at 8:04 am
You wanted us to write three lines about what we want to do within the next 12 months:
(1) Complete and finish my Today’s Gratitude blog and its counterpart Tonight’s Reflection. This allows me to share my attitude of gratitude to a small following of people that I know via Facebook.
(2) Sell my existing home/land and build a new home or just move to a new location.
(3) Produce an income stream that will allow me to become debt free and enjoy more time to read, write and play with the dogs!
April 26th, 2010 at 8:06 am
Great visions and goals, Peter. I think that will be great!! May you realize all your goals!!

My vision is to travel and have workshops on 3 different topics – one is a Nature Walk to help people re-member their connection to Mother Earth. Second track is to connect to our Inner Healer so we can heal ourselves and each other. Third track is to help re-member our connection to the Animal Domain – and to re-learn how to listen to the animals.

So I want to start farms that profitably sell half their produce and give away the other half to those with vitamin deficiencies; who can’t afford a healthy supply of fruits and veggies.
1)I need seeds; which I want to get from people who would throw them away otherwise. Maybe get schools,colleges,offices and other institutions interested.
2)I need plots of farmland/fertile-ground to grow these seeds in.
3) Most importantly I need the involvement of other people. To get funds, to grow stuff and so on.
April 26th, 2010 at 8:43 am

I want to have my penny book published and be planning my world speaking tour a year from now. I’ll definitely have stops in Australia & New Zealand (and many other fabulous destinations of course!).
Then, when the tour is done, I will return to my home where I will offer weekend escapes with meaning. Get a bunch of friends together to drink wine, relax, and have some guided discussions on how to enjoy life more by starting to take note of the little things!
Yep, sounds like a plan to me!

I went to your website by clicking on the link but couldn’t find the ‘Living A Debt Free Life’ link. Also couldn’t find how to sign up for Masterminds Associates. I do have a habit of not finding things right under my nose, so I apologise if this is the case again.
I’d love to read your excerpt from Xellon, and linking up with people worldwide to help us all achieve our dreams is a great idea!
To (y)our success!

2 – Have moved 600 miles to be near family again (have been here for 22 wonderful years)

Hi David,
I have just started your book and I am so excited about sharing the concept for an ebook idea I’ve had for a while.
The ebook title is “How to Survive and Thrive in Open Learning”. The book will be designed to motivate and empower fellow mature students undertaking third level education through correspondence or Open Learning. Also included in the book will be study skills, Research Techniques, the list could be endless.The ebook will take on the idea of Tithing – which is giving 10% of any future profits to charity which I read in Jack Canfield’s book “The Success Principles”
April 26th, 2010 at 12:11 pm
Thank you so very much for the free book. It is very insightful and speaks to me. 1 year from now I want to make lots of money from an e-book

I’d first like to say thank you so much for this book, I am so grateful for the information that you are sharing and I admire what you are doing! I want to share Reiki healing and I am incorporating that into my massage therapy as well. I also want to share my experiences with my spiritual awakening and ongoing transformation with the world and what tools I have been using in my everyday life to help me heal and grow.(Personal Growth) I already have a fabulous Freedom Buddy who is very inspiring to me and we both have a similar vision and are on almost the same path…Like attracts Like! To live on Purpose is the most incredible feeling a person could have and I want the world to live on their Purpose too! Love and Light!
April 26th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
David,
I am delighted with your vision and with this opportunity to share my dream and the dreams of others. I am a multimedia artist and entrepreneur in Montana. I have been designing an economic development business system since 9/11 that is ready to rock! I’ve gotten positive feedback from Governor Schweitzer’s economic staff, the Montana Art Council, the Yellowstone Tourism development region, local chambers of commerce and lots of local government. It is a multi-billion dollar idea. It addresses both social and economic needs of communities (and talented people) everywhere. The best part is that it is so much FUN!!!
In twelve months I want the world to know about my work and more importantly I want it to be working its magic in the lives of millions of people.
I can’t wait to share it with everyone!
April 26th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
Hi Frances.
Since there are so many dreams to read about, I decided to start with the ones that chose the same “ninja” that I chose. You are the first one. As it turns out, my economic development business system will be using lots of creative writers. Isn’t this a wonderful forum and idea that David Wood has shared with us. I haven’t finished the book, but am enjoying it very much.

Hi Traian,
I’m a multimedia artist in Montana (USA) and I decided to read everyone’s blog who had chosen the same Ninja that I chose. Yours is the second one I’ve read. Your dream is wonderful and very worthy. I wish I could read Romanian. I went to your website and it looks very nice.
Best of fortune!
Tammy
April 26th, 2010 at 12:58 pm

I am a multimedia artist and magazine publisher in Montana. I decided that since there are over 700 blogs to start by reading those who had chosen the same ninja that I chose. Your goals seem very worthy and I honestly hope that you reach them very quickly.

April 26th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
Hi Holly,
I have been putting together an economic development business system which is ready to launch in the Yellowstone National Park area where I live. I now have so much support from state and local government, chambers of commerce, tourism development groups, economic development groups, art councils and others that I no longer have any doubts or fears about its success.
But that has not always been the case. I’ve had to endure more poverty and more rejection than I ever dreamed. I’ve learned a mighty lesson–I always survived, no matter how tough things got. There was always a save that came from out of nowhere. What I’ve learned is faith. The last one was the hardest. I ended up in a hope house because I was literally panicking because the economy recessed to a point where I couldn’t find a job and for five months I had to beg to survive–literally. It was very humbling. I live in a small Montana town and it’s not a good place to be hit by a recession just as winter sets in. Tough stuff…
Yet just as has always happened, a miracle occurred and I was saved emotionally and economically. Now I have a rocking business system that has the power to generate billions of dollars and do so much good… courage and faith go hand-in-hand. It’s true.
Tammy

Frances
April 26th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
Aargh! I wrote a long reply then accidentally(?)lost it. (Maybe it needed to be shorter).
I now have a 2 pronged ‘attack’ when negative thoughts come up.
1. Instead of beating myself up for having the negative thought I pat myself on the back for having recognised what I’m doing. I used to believe I was at the mercy of my thoughts, with no control over them. But you can step back and look at what they have to teach you. Look below the surface for the underlying belief that gives rise to it, then ask for guidance on how to deal with that, knowing that help will come if you’re open and ready to receive. And drum up those feelings of gratitude and joy for the answer – it really is true that gratitude brings the solution, not the other way round.
2. Give thanks for the hidden blessing in the situation, even if you can’t yet see it. Take the time and effort to imagine how you would feel if you could actually see the hidden blessing, and enjoy that feeling NOW. Often we refuse to acknowledge the hidden blessing because we feel guilty about it – like when my youngest son decided to live with his dad – heartbreaking! – but it meant I could get my degree and a fantastic job much more easily, and enjoy being a student in my 40′s (and I didn’t ‘lose’ my son as I’d feared)
I’ve been through some horrible stuff (haven’t we all?) but everything I’ve ‘suffered’ has led me to where I am now and made me stronger and more compassionate.
Oh dear, it got long again!
How about giving my suggestions a try? Nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Hang on in there, you’re on the right track.
Much love.

Debra – define “lots.” You will achieve your success even faster. Announce it to the world! Best wishes.
April 26th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Hi VK – I saw your post and thought I’d add my two cents. You want to start right where you are at this momtn. As someone who has experience with sales and marketing, your knowledge is invaluable to others who don’t have it, and need it. I’d start first by thinking about the type of people you want to attract? What sort of things have you sold? Who do you generally attract into your life? For me it’s life/writing coaches and creative writers.
Once you get perspective on who you’d like to work with, define the method you would like to deliver your knowledge. Maybe it’s through a book – this can be a traditional book or an e-book. Are you someone who enjoys speaking in front of others and delivering your message in person? If so, focus on identifying local places where you can offer seminars or classes (adult education or libraries) – if you are in the U.S., meetup.com is a great place to start attracting people to attend your events…these can be small, intimate events to get started. Draft an outline of your talk and see what happens.
If you want to go online (it’s not necessary to get started), consider getting started with a simple blog. Blogger.com and WordPress.com are blog platforms that don’t cost a penny, and you can start sharing information immediately.
I could go on and on. The point is, do something. Use your creative energy to generate ideas – enlist some friends to go out for dinner or drinks and ask them what they think you could do. Brainstorm ideas and get them all out there to ponder. Then laser in on the one that really grabs you. Create a plan and go for it.
Best wishes!
April 26th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
I, too, have a magical property to sell and want to do it in the next six months. David’s book looks like a way to find the right person to take over a unique lifestyle I can no longer pursue. Maybe we can share marketing techniques. Maybe we can learn from the marketing specialists we meet here on the website. I hope so. I’m up for something new and powerful, something fun.
April 26th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Hi Frances – are your workshops and classes aimed at a particular audience? I’m asking because I am looking for experts in the writing field for a series of audio seminars I’ll be launching with a new professional organization for writers and coaches.

April 26th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
Thank you for the ebook, David. I’m anxious to receive the hardcover so I can underline, flip back and forth, etc. Maybe tomorrow. My 3 things for the coming year:
1. Sell an exceptional property perfect for a writer or someone interested in privacy and sustainable living, on an island in north central Florida.
2. Create a cistern business that would help to solve Florida’s water shortage problems.
3. Help to further integrate and improve relations in the southern community where I live.
David, your community is a place of love. I am happy to be here.

Hi Corrie Ann!
Thank you for your interest.
My classes and workshops are for adults who want to improve their writing skills and regain lost grammar knowledge. I have mostly business people in my classes but there are several private university students whom I tutor. The titles have been chosen to highlight the material covered.
At last! Grammar for Grownups.
Paragraphs – friend or foe?
Assignment with Attitude! ( I haven’t trialled this one yet – I am still compiling the material)
I also have a couple of clients whose writing I I am ghosting. My website is being updated as we speak. I will be happy to share it with you now if you are interested but it is still being ‘fixed’. http://www.emeraldwritingandtraining.com.au
Hope this clarifies the detail for you. I will be glad to be of service.
April 26th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
Jeremy, you should get Barbara Sher’s book “Refuse to Choose”.
It’s great for people like you and I who have a 100 ideas/day and feel that choosing just one will cancel out all other choices. It needn’t be that way.
I love the book and hope you will find help and a different way of looking at and organizing things.

In 12 months, my online business has so many orders that I visit the post office and the bank at least three times per week and create when the feeling hits. I sell my artwork, so I’m helping myself, my family, charities, schools, church. I live close to where I live now, the D.C. area, but in a home with much more space. My yearly revenue is $50,000 for now. Thanks for the worksheet!

Hi David,
Thanks for your book. I’ve been reading it and really enjoying it. It’s a great mix of practical tools and inspiration. I’ve had an online business for a while now, so a lot of it I was nodding at, but I picked up a bunch of extra tools in there too.
I’d love to share it with my tribe, and to feature you in my “Agile Life” profile series on my blog, where I interview people who live Agile Lives.
An Agile Life is a life that’s seeking to embrace multi-dimensionality rather than squeezing yourself into one box or label, and a life where you’ve developed both the lifestyle and mindset to be able to move, learn and change easily, so you can easily adapt and improvise and create and be more of what you love as the world around us changes. It actually fits quite well with your model of the different types of freedom.
My website and blog is at http://www.agileliving.net/
Would you be up for answering a few Agile Living questions about your mindset and lifestyle, and then we can include a link for people to get your book? Here are the questions I’d love to have you answer:
1.) We seem to all be more obsessed with the idea of having freedom than ever before. In your book, you talk about different types of freedom. What are the different types of freedom available to us?
2.) You live a pretty agile life, with a lot of change and variety. Could you share a bit about the ways that you’ve welcomed change and variety into your life, how that’s made your life richer, and what freedoms have enabled you to do that?
3.) What do you think is the greatest thing that gets us stuck and prevents us from creating and exercising the freedom to do, experience, create and be what we love?
4.) What’s your most important tip for building a mindset and lifestyle that enables you to keep doing, experiencing, creating and being more of what you love… and get paid to do it?
Thanks!
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Cath

My vision for the year is:
The zest & energy of my epic adventures, the cut & thrust of magic mastery with my hero partners, my warrior spirit, expressing my voice in the world, the vulnerablity & intimacy of naked connectedness and my studio of curiousity & creativity.
This is my Land of Plenty, if you are interested in finding your Land of Plenty check out Darren Eden’s intuitive magic.

I am just over 25 years of age, and am already planning my retirement! I have been building a “Healthy Chocolate Empire”, which I plan to retire quite comfortably from at an age that may be considerably younger than most when they retire.
I am writing a few books at the moment… One is a novel, based loosely on my life experiences. One is an autobiography of my life and all the drama that came with it. And one is similar to a Dr.Suess-style children’s book. Not entirely certain yet when any of these will get completed, but I am excited about the progress I am making!
My vision for my future looks pretty shiny! I have a great guy backing me up on everything I undertake, I am getting in shape and healthier day by day, and I cannot wait to see what the future brings!
April 27th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
I can certainly understand having so many interests. If you had to choose, what is your biggest passion right now? Or two biggest passions?
It’s important to not overwhelm yourself. Take one step at a time. Stay focused. Stay motivated, because giving up is not an option.
Once you have one passion under control and you are meeting the goals that you set up for your success on it, then consider another one of your passions; but you still need to keep your 1st choice going forward.
It’s easy to let outside influences affect you, but don’t let them. Easier said than done, I know. Been there. Still there, but fighting hard for my FREEDOM. I’m on the road to freedom – just wish it would come a little faster. You will succeed if you truly want to.
Much Success,
Renee’

I like your positive thinking. I have an Aunt who’s 91 and just the cutest person with a very positive outlook. She once told me that if you tend to be positive in your youth and even as a middle aged adult, you will tend to be positive when you’re old because that’s who you are.
I agree.
April 27th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
I want to be self sufficient in 12 months. No worries about money.
I want to be able to help others out and not worry about how to do it or who is going to fuss at me because I want to do it.
I’m ready to love life again and to be spontaneous. Travel sounds good too.
Time to have fun!
April 27th, 2010 at 2:31 pm
April 27, 2011
Passions:
1) I am a respected and award winning filmmaker. Our skills and videos are in demand so I can be selective on projects. My partner (who I love and love to work with) and I travel to interesting places around the world to film and explore. Our business is enjoyable, inspiring, and more than adequately profitable.
2) I make time to write and sell my work on a regular basis.
3)The ranch is flourishing, it is repaired and organized, the herd is genetically and productively top-notch, I can easily make a living from the farm alone,I have help on the farm, and there is more biodiversity, wildlife, and grass than ever!
Overall, I love what I do, it is satifying, it helps others and the world, and I GET PAID FOR IT.
Wow! That feels good!

I was raised by a family who did not believe in financially doing things like evryone else does. Those practices have seriously hindered my ability to see the things i would need to survive when i became elderly.
What i want to do is retrain my mind to think abundance and intend to be happy and rich monetarily. This is a great idea.

In twelve months, my website will be the premier resource for helping new gluten free eaters to find products and places to eat safely and happily.My consulting firm helping restaurateurs cater those with this special dietary need is designed to ease their transition and make G.F. service profitable and marketable. I will be earning a minimum income of 75,000.00 USD yearly. I will be continuing to live where I am as I pretty much already have my dream home. Investing 25-30 hours a week doing something I love and believe in is an easy commitment to make. I had already started my website before I ever heard about this book.(LOA in action boys and girls) Thanks so much Dave for this AMAZING easy to read guide. I’ve reached chapter 5 and I am SO excited to keep rolling with this. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
April 27th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Hello Shaya!
Looks like we might have something in common. I am inspired to develop an online business supporting women who have lost themselves in the mothering role. I want to help them find empowerment and freedom in their lives. Good luck with your wonderful work!
April 27th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
A celebration of women! I love it!
As someone who will be supporting women who have lost themselves in the mothering role and wonder what has happened to their lives, I can really connect with your vision.
I know David’s book will help me get this underway.
Good luck with your quest!
April 27th, 2010 at 5:43 pm
Thanks for your reply Renee.
The hardest bit is making the first shift from a negative to a positive outlook, a bit like pushing a car. Once you’ve got going and find it works it’s easier and easier. I suppose the ideal would be to get a really good roll going, then hop in and coast along for the rest of the journey – but we all have bends and uphills to deal with. It’s a great journey. Actually when I’ve thought of my life’s journey I’ve seen myself on foot. Maybe it’s time to hop into my super solar-powered 4×4 and really cruise along.
Extra thanks again for your reply, cos otherwise I wouldn’t have come up with that and I plan to enjoy playing with that idea for a while.
Much love
Jan
April 27th, 2010 at 5:47 pm

You must be feeling such a buzz from reading this blog. Reading people’s amazing business ideas and willingness to help others, it’s very inspiring.

In 12 months I want my blog to be going strong! addictedtorecovery.wordpress.com It has had great success at only 4 weeks old!! I want hundreds of subscribers in 12 months hopefully more! I will have more local exposure and be graduating college with my degree!! I want to be established as the go-to person in my specialty of Addiction Education!!
April 27th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
We all have our bad moments. The great thing is that we can get right back up with a ‘new day and new opportunities’ – of course that’s my favorite saying. It certainly makes it easier to get up in the morning.
April 27th, 2010 at 11:49 pm
Reprogramming is the key. I also grew up with different opinions on money, but over the last year and now into the future, I am working towards happiness, and money. This was a total contradiction in my previous way of thinking. Thankyou to everyone here, for helping with motivation, not only for me and yourselves, but for the others wishing for a brighter, more fulfilling future!
April 28th, 2010 at 12:07 am
Thanks David for the motivation!
1 Get my website going for the event.
TICK!
2 Get the backing needed from the local hobby shops and clubs to make this event an annual thing
Got two clubs on board so far.
(I have only rung two so far!)
3 Make more money than there was costs, so I can make the next years bigger and better, and the year after that bigger and better and so on…..
YEA!

Hi
In twelve months i have total peace of mind.
My health, fiancial situation,my family, my business – all the importent things in my life, is in place. And aboundence is comming into my life, on all levels, in the for me, optimal flow.
April 28th, 2010 at 6:13 am
My vision is to help others lead a balanced life through healthy diet and lifestyle. I started a website several months ago and nothing much has come of it. My passions are being in nature, cooking, painting and dancing. I would like to create a broader vision that incorporates more of my passions into my business plan.
April 28th, 2010 at 6:49 am
I am so busy that I couldn´t read the book yet. But I have it in my list of next readings. I´m improving myself a lot. I´m working in my career in order to grow into a lidership. I feel better than last year and my selfesteem is higher. You will know about me soon!! thanks for your support.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:18 am
what kind of business do you have and did you do it with this e book?
April 28th, 2010 at 12:18 pm
I have always wanted to sell my crafts online. I am now retired and my passion is sewing and machine embroidery. I am hoping to be able to set up something to supplement my income so I can afford to travel.
April 28th, 2010 at 12:30 pm
Thank you David
I finally got the nerve to write it but to also post it.
I am working on the website with Weebly like you said to do and i am also working on my sons longboarding site.
i realize that might change direction at some point, but at least i am moving forward. I will start on the newsletter today sometime. I never realized how much info on Hep C that I have and that I can do it in layman’s terms, rather then all the medical jumble jumble. I also never realized that at some of the hep c meetings I have gone to, I do all the talking, people seem to enjoy me rambling on, and telling them if i am gonna be sick, let me do it at the casino in front of a slot machine not home in bed. They say that if I can do it, (living a full life) then they can too.
so, this is it for now.
thanks for helping me
April 28th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Tell me about the Healthy Chocolate Empire?
I would love to write a children’s book!
good luck!
April 28th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
Good Luck Sally! You might want to check out e-junkie for a shopping cart system to use for your website. I started using it when my niece, who is battling a rare childhood cancer, wanted to sell t-shirts to support her cause. It was super easy to set up, and as I recall…dirt cheap too. Your customers can pay using PayPal (which allow credit card and checking payments). Just a suggestion.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
Hi Heather – what’s your website address? That is, if you don’t mind sharing. I might be able to give you some tips on design, layout, and content.
Don’t go “broader” with your vision. The whole idea is to focus in one a niche so that you can attract the right people. Once you have a niche up and making money, start thinking about other things that you want to either add to your streams of income, or incorporate into your first niche. Focus is key.
Best wishes,
Corrie Ann
April 28th, 2010 at 9:57 pm
Maggie,
I love your focus with gluten free eating. It’s a hot topic right now, and I’m certainly one of your audience. I’m on a mission to go as gluten free as I can in the next 12 months. I would love to hear all about your endeavors.
Best wishes and much success.
Corrie Ann
April 28th, 2010 at 10:02 pm
Hi Renee’ – I know you will make your dreams a reality. Let’s get a little specific, shall we? Some things to think about and identify – how much money, exactly, will it take for you to be self-sufficient?
How can you help others? What, specifically, will you do?
What does loving life mean for you?
Where do you want to travel?
Certainly, you don’t have to post your response here (unless you want to – the Universe is listening) but these are things that, if you write them out, focus on them and believe, can all become reality for you, sooner than you think.
Best wishes – fun is waiting.
Corrie Ann

April 28th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
I too, love the tag line. You will be surprised how, once you start focusing on what you want, things will start to happen. You will attract to you the people, resources and clients who are meant to be part of your world. I cannot wait to hear all about how, Christina, once Fat and Frumpy but now Fabulous and Fit, is impacting thousands of people around the globe with her message of dedication, motivation and truth.
Just jump!

April 28th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
Hey Diana – isn’t it amazing to realize how much you can help others. So many times people reflect and think, what do I know about anything – no one wants to hear what I have say. In reality, we all have special bits of information that others pray to find. You are offering yourself to those who need what you have to offer. What a blessing.
Best wishes,
Corrie Ann
April 28th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Hi Angela – nice work on the site. Have you considered offering a free report, or ezine (electronic newsletter) for your subscribers? This will certainly attract the peeps. Also, take some of your posts and tweak them into short articles – post them on ezinearticles.com and see the traffic ring in.
Best wishes,
Corrie Ann
April 28th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
Sounds like you’ve got a plan Sandy. We have a lot in common – I’m a screenwriter, and I love nature (the farm life). Writing is a way for me to express myself to the world. I look forward to seeing how your manifest your wildest dreams.
Blessings,
Corrie Ann
April 28th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
Hi Debbie – wasn’t it amazing to realize that you have knowledge in your head that others will pay to get out of you? I know it was for me many moons ago. Talk about empowering. I hope you have a whole slew of sites, one for each type of knowledge funnel you have, that attracts your ideal and paying client. Knowledge is power – but you all ready know this, right?
Best wishes,
Corrie Ann
April 28th, 2010 at 10:39 pm
Hi Jeremy – you and I sound a lot alike. We are what some would call renaissance souls, or rainbow people. We have so many interests and passions and we feel like we have to focus on all of them to make life interesting. It takes a lot of strength to manage the mind.
Here’s an idea of how I am currently approaching the “I’ve got so many things I want to do right now,” syndrome.
I love to write, coach and teach – I am currently putting together a business that allows me to focus on all three of them- The Writer’s Coach Global Network is a professional organization for coaches, whose primary clients are writers. As the founder and creative director of this organization I write marketing material, ebooks, blog posts, etc. – I coach other coaches on a variety of topics – and I teach writers (they join to connect with a coach) about the world of writing. It couldn’t be better!!!
You say you like helping others with their problems. How about you become a coach? Try to pinpoint your ideal client – visualize the exact person you would want to attract. Build your coaching practice around that client…what do they need, want, desire. What is their major problem they are trying to solve? And no, you don’t need to be “certified” to be a coach. I successfully coached for five years before taking formalized coach training…you can too.
I wish you all the best. Meditate and be with your thoughts and you will find the right path to your destiny.
Best wishes,
Corrie Ann

The birth of a book and all that transpires because of it is amazing. David, your wisdom is touching so many.
April 29th, 2010 at 12:08 am
Right now i have a landscaping company, and i’m a Feng Shui practitioner. But i’m trying to write eboks, on how to live your dream. Not how to build your business, but how to get organised, both on the inside, aswell as the outsite of your life.
I survived severall deadly diseases, our comapny almost went bankrupt, my marrige was in trouble, and one of my children has been very sick.
But i’ve learned so much form all this, and i want to give my experience, to others who are struggleing with their life, on any level, and i want to tell them, how to change it all. How to live you dream. I did it, so anyone can do it !!!
April 29th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
I like what you’ve got going so far here. I agree with Corrie Ann that offering some kind of takeaway from the site is a good idea. Just wondering if you have a specific group that you’re targeting or just all people in recovery….
April 29th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
David, I have an ebook copy that I put on my Kindle, so it goes everywhere with me. But I’m wondering if there’s any way to get the paperback here in Canada. Thanks!
April 29th, 2010 at 3:55 pm
LOL – I think you should be on another site for that!
It’s nice to see some ‘flaming’ here though. I’m going to have to be more contentious – only three negative comments out of 1500!
What am I doing wrong!?
April 29th, 2010 at 3:55 pm
I am Kara!
April 29th, 2010 at 3:57 pm

As I’m still in book launch mode time is scarce (ironic, huh?)
But you can take answers from the articles at http://www.davidwood.presskit247.com

April 29th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
Thanks for the idea. I never heard of e-junkie. I think as I read the book that I need to narrow my items down to target specific area like aprons, or baby items, or purses. I love them all. Sally
April 29th, 2010 at 8:49 pm
Yes, targeting your focus is ideal. You can expand as your business expand. Cheers!

in one year, I am out of debt (its not much, but its there…for now!)and my son and i own a 2 bedroom home.
in one year, we travel for fun at least a month every year. There are shorter trips too, workshops.
In one year, I have a fabulous crew of amazing online women who are ready to connect with their sensual sides and know how to use this power for confidence, grace, and gratitude. We teach the world one person at a time to love with a BIG HEART! (and sexy self confidence!)
thanks.
April 30th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
hi all!
i’m still fine tuning, but for now:
my vision is to help people to connect, and really see each other across difference. in a multicultural city and a global village the more we see about others, the stronger our relationships. to do this, we have to see more of ourselves as well.
in personal relationships and in business environments…

I really want to target anyone touched by addiction. Not only people in recovery, but people who have a spouse who is an addict/alcoholic, or a sibling, or a friend. Addiction education is my goal.
May 2nd, 2010 at 3:28 pm
I have to major purposes:
My first purpose is to shine my light using humor, encouragement and business experience to help Entrepreneurs share their voice and their essence to communicate with honesty and clarity free from fear. This is accomplished through coaching programs focused on creative selling, marketing and business techniques designed for success while maintaining their purpose.
My second purpose is to shine my light and awaken conscious leadership styles in Corporate American. This will be accomplsiehd through a leadership process that focuses on open communications and engaging and encouraging employees to participate in success.
May 2nd, 2010 at 3:31 pm
Fantastice goals and direction!
May 2nd, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Way to go! It sounds like you have a clear vision and direction. I can’t wait to hear what’s next for you.~
May 2nd, 2010 at 8:34 pm
David I agree. It’s really nice to read other people’s stories and their vision. It’s also nice getting personal feedback from you. I just posted my “WHY” after watching your video sharing your WHY with us. I look forward to sharing more of my story and especially more of my vision. I know you’ll be excited about it because of its merit and its global potential.
Thanks,

May 3rd, 2010 at 4:36 pm
As I was reading, I realized that there are many groups of people I could serve with my life experience. I’m choosing to focus first on helping small businesses and nonprofits deepen their purpose, refine their vision, and clarify their processes. I have done this as a part of several organizations without it really being what I was paid for, and I am absolutely passionate about helping others have a deep sense of purpose. I believe it is a key factor to success.
In twelve months’ time, I intend to have $50,000 in revenue with a growing client base comprised primarily of leaders in small businesses (1-20 employees) and nonprofits. I’ll still be living where I am today, but I envision a great deal more travel. Knowing that I will be engaging my passions, I foresee myself “working” almost every day, but at a certain point, it becomes a matter of how I am being rather than what I am doing.
At this point, the domain name(s) are purchased and I have a plan in place to keep following through step by step. Thanks for the booster rockets to get me started on this incredible journey! I’ll be blogging about it at http://www.randypartain.blogspot.com
May 3rd, 2010 at 7:41 pm
I have had a life of many experiences. I have many talents. I am at a point in my life where I don’t know what kind of a story to create. Currently I am sitting with no future plans, learning true inner peace.
It is my intention to take this year to learn how to trust and allow my purpose to come to me rather than seeking it.

David,
thank you for your book. I’ve yet to open my email to read it but all of the comments here have me eager to get to it. I was referred to you by a person I hired to write content for my websites home page. I’m self-published since Oct 09 and am trying to do all of the things to be wildly successful in marketing it.
I spent a good 20 + years in love with the wrong men. My passion is to reach as many girls/women as I can who are as I was and GET them to stop loving that bad boy more than themselves. I hope to inspire them to grow and do great things in life that make them feel beautiful and fullfilled with the help of a community of women on my website. Bonus through the sales of my book and website’s success, I’ll be donating to help animals. I also am in need of financial freedom and have very limited resources so to this point I’ve done it all myself. Appreciate anyone’s input and advice. snapoutofitgirlfriend.com
Take care and God Bless everyone’s dreams.
May 4th, 2010 at 10:07 pm
What book? I didn’t get any book?
May 5th, 2010 at 1:56 am
thanks,
I have received your book even in Italy..!
Being a webmarketer, some concepts weren’t completely new to me..
but the way they were put into order and, above all, the fresh way and clearliness they were presented are a great teaching by themselves..
Sometimes not only the informations are useful, but the way they make your mind clear are a key-factor to put yourself into action!
Thanks, also for thinking to other people… that’s something I agree with completely
May 5th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
My dream life? Well, I’ve been asking around the question “If you had all the money in the world, what would you do?”
Fortunately my answer hasn’t changed: I would Write, Travel, Volunteer.
I would connect with the likes of Bill Gates and Oprah to save Africa.
I would then work with the United Nations to make aid/education/negotiations more effective and Write to help get people to support the Millennium Development Goals, hence saving the World.
Then as far as my other business I would buy up local ‘resorts/hostel-resorts’ in Developing Nations, make them eco-friendly, then bring in Western tourists, and donated a good portion of proceeds to the local community, like an orphanage or something similar.
And of course I would Write. News. Editorials, Blogs. Copywriting. And volunteer my time in as many countries as possible
May 5th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
Hi David,
You have instigated an amazing event that has called everyone together to create their own future, encouraging us to take responsibility for own own lives and destiny. I have subscribed to your amazing Solution Box for quite some time now and I am thrilled with this fabulous book to assist us all to our greatness.
I live in Nelson New Zealand and I run Blossom House Wellness Centre. I am an Energy Healer and teacher. At Blossom we have regular classes to teach about many of the things that have come up here for so many of the participants on this forum.
I have met many people from different parts of the world who have told me that I need to take my Healing and Teaching and travel with it as they have not experienced anything like it before.
I realise that here in New Zealand we are so isolated from the rest of the world.
My goal is to write about what we do and teach here and sell them on line thus creating enough passive income to travel the world, teaching and healing as I go. You have inspired me once again to step outside my comfort zone and spread my wings.
So Many Thanks
Lorraine

Hi, Brenda! I was replying to David’s question about how we want our online business to look in 12 months. I don’t have it yet but I’m going to have a website where I sell my artwork–bookmarks, greeting cards, prints. I’ve heard that we should speak of what we want as if it’s already happening, so there you go…

I am seeing a life coach myself right now and was having doubts yesterday on all the time we are spending pinpointing my ‘ideal client’ ….so to see it in repeated here and other places is making me see that I need to get through that part….and to see that maybe I could use another avenue like writing, I love writing….

Hi John….I got my e book, I have it open right now and it seems to all be there….all 171 pages…are you waiting for a physical copy? They don’t mail them outside the US and you can only know that when you read the rules and regulations.
Brenda
May 6th, 2010 at 11:21 am
good for you on getting your e-book. However, I ordered a hard copy in this country so I don’t understand what the problem is that I haven’t received it. I don’t want to download a 171 pages I want a hard copy book one that I paid for.

I have been a part-time, self-employed holistic health researcher and practitioner for more than 25 years. This is layered on top of a substantial background in hard sciences and a host of pre-med course. (I had originally planned to become a physician, until I got too disgusted with the health system, and its rigid “standard of care”, as exists in the U.S.) I have been able to help a significant number of people, doing this work, part-time. I seem to be really good at it, and I seem to have a gift for solving serious and difficult helath problems. I am also good at finding out the answers when I don’t already have them.
I would like to build up my practice so that it is financially sustaining and so that I can do this work full-time instead of part-time. If I am able to go full-time with this withint the next 12 months, I will be able to greatly increase the number of people I help. I love this work. I want to do it for as long as I am alive.

Hello Brenda – Just met another woman from NZ, living in China. It is amazing to hear what others are doing around the world. I am doing long distance Reiki work – is that anything like the energy work you are doing?
Hello Lorraine!
PEI! OMG – I was almost there! It was on my map and in sight! Spent 10 days in Nova Scotia- from Pomquet and Antigonish I could see PEI!
Travel, yes, travel, and share. There are places in the U.S. that are still wilderness and out of touch with the rest of the world. I live in one.
This, here and now, online, is such a special place to meet and share mutual support.
May 9th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
Jeff your goal is both admirable and inspiring. Your passion for providing self empoweremnt through information and education is vital.
There is a growing gap between the have and have not’s and as we grow as a society, work such as your’s helps to level the playing field and provide the opportuntiy to give back dignity and hope to many who are in need.
Way to go and don’t stop dreaming or beleiving. Your only limitations are the ones you place on yourself.
I belive you have already seen yourself fulfilling your desire take that image hold to it and persevere until you are able to transform your vision into your reality.
You are on the right path don’t concenr yoursefl with the distractions stay true to your course and you will reach it.

HELLO VIRTUAL WORLD SELF-REALISERS. Over the past year or so I have been gearing up to ‘blast-focus’ my energy into what feels like my best work.. something to do with shareing my experiences of various kinds in ways which might support (or simply amuse) others. Last year I made a short “digital story” DVD about some of my interactions and experiences helping dad care for my mum as she faded away into dementia over 4 years to her death in 2005. Feedback was very positive, whilst softly tearful (from strangers as well as family!) so I’d like to write more voiceovers. I have started notes for a book..(and /or a theatre piece) having a great urge to find a way of comunicating some of those virtually indescribable ‘spiritual’ experiences such as occur during some of my meditations (what in certain psychology frameworks are known as ‘peak experiences’) and their impact on and integration into my world view. So this generous E-book and website is timely…if I can only find a way around the toxic brain-drain I experience through working on computer!!..and then create a helpfull product around that..I suppose.
May 10th, 2010 at 7:08 am
Hello Everybody, I hope you had a great weekend.
I started a group of business women focused in Empowering and Transforming our lives. The purpose is to go beyond just business networking. We empower each other to achieve our dreams. To transform ourselves into that person we always wanted to be. We bring our hearts to the meetings and we cheer for one another.
The group started here in Naples, Fl but now that I am moving to Dallas, Tx I will re-start there. http://www.meetup.com/Business-Women-Empowering-Others/
The problem I found is to have the people showing up. They say RSVP to be at the meeting but to REALLY be there is another story.
Some people say like this: I’ve got this on my calendar and hope my crazy work schedule doesn’t interfere!
“DO NOT LET ANYTHING RUN YOUR LIFE, SPECIALLY A CRAZY SCHEDULE” Celia Dias
It is OK. because not everybody is really looking for transformation. Everybody “wants it” (if it falls on their laps), but a few seek and are willing to make sacrifices to obtain it.
I am seeking and I will find. Example: Some people are afraid that their product won’t reach everybody, but they forget that we only need to reach to the right crowd. They will come, they will love what we have to offer. Plus, Heavens are always interesting in helping those who wants to help.
That is my take.
Much Love
Celia
PS.: I cheer for every single one of you out there seeking to bring transformation to the hurting people.
May 10th, 2010 at 8:34 am
Hey Maggs
You gonna do it. Have you thought about outsourcing some of the computer work so you can have more time to set you mind free?
Just a thought.
Much Love
Celia
May 10th, 2010 at 8:51 am
Hey Jeff
I went to your web site. A lot of content. Way to go. Two things I suggest.
First put a twitter plugin in it. I will follow you in a heart bit. Let me know. The twitter is a great tool to get traffic.
Second put a “sign up” for newsletter in your site. This will help you get people coming back to your site to read what you have to say. And it won’t be like email spam, because you will have their permission to email them. I will sign up. I love information about living a better life.
Your site is good, you are ahead of a lot of people because you have a lot of content and it shows that you are committed and passionated about helping.
PS.:When you say ” If I am able to go full-time with this withint the next 12 months, I will be able to greatly increase the number of people I help.” Just take the “if” out of it, and it will become a goal not a dream.
Much Love
Celia
May 10th, 2010 at 11:15 am
Soooo totally agree! Outsource as much as you can afford, free your mind and your creativity will flow effortlessly!
In Love, Light and All that Jazz,

Engaging people emotionally is the key that I have found to eliciting their commitment (which is the action of continuing to participate when the original emotional surge has faded).
And that requires ongoing participation on my part… not always easy (or possible) to sustain
Desires come and go. Even for transformation… Even for me… and I’ve built my entire life around transformation and spiritual growth since 1972…
May good fortune dog your footsteps, and may your your projects always feed you
May 10th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
for what it’s worth, I find grounding myself and having some really upbeat music in a foreign language helps while working on the ‘puter… less draining. Gypsy music really does it for me
(and music can communicate some of those states that don’t translate into verbal/logical terms)
May 10th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
Hey Thanks you so much.
How do we engage emotionally if the person is not open to. Is like I am here willing to share but they are to busy with their schedule?
Some people will jump in right the way others won’t.
Like I said in another comment, we can’t reach everybody, if they are not willing to receive. It will take them some more time, some people can see the vision other can’t. And it is OK too.
Much Love

Hi,
Over the last year and a half I’ve been reading and setting goals and trying so hard to work towards them, but it seems that everytime I take a step forward I end up taking two steps back. After participating in this forum by just submitting my comments I’ve come to realize that my most important goal is to find a way (financially) to leave this area of the world. Once I achieve that I will maybe be able to focus on my other goals.
May 13th, 2010 at 7:56 am
My vision is (1) to release who I am truly meant to be, (2) to achieve energy self sufficiency, and (3) to lead others to do the same.
Short and sweet but encompasses a lot. My interests include alternate energy, accelerated learning, and personal growth… hopefully the areas that will help me see my vision come to fruition!
May 13th, 2010 at 8:44 am
I’ve worked as a wedding consultant for about nine years. I have two main connected visions. The first is a wedding planner (book)/workshop that actually walks brides through planning her wedding, based on the system I use. The second is a romance consulting service that helps people(mainly men) plan romantic celebrations and marriage proposals. I’m about half-way complete with the first draft and excited!
May 13th, 2010 at 9:37 am
Hi David,
It just occurred to me that I never received the book and I know I paid for the shipping. It’s been four weeks. Could you check that out for me?
Cheryl
May 13th, 2010 at 9:35 pm
Ah need product! I know I need to write more too; I’m still a bit new to all this internetty stuffs but I learn fast! And I need to spruce things up, get more readers, traffic and I need more help! What to tackle first? Please visit my site and offer some advice if you so feel inclined.
this is most serendipitious timing for this book THANKS ALL Y’ALL INVOLVED
Best wishes on the hundred thou mark!

My vision is to see my practice in full swing with loads of clients, both people and animals. I am using BodyTalk on all of my clients and helping to facilitate the healing process on all levels of the bodymind complex. I also envision myself working in zoos and helping the animals in those environments to have a better living space and to have a voice through the use of animal communication and BodyTalk/AnimalTalk.
May 14th, 2010 at 1:20 am
that she does. Celia and Yvonne have taken the ‘posting lead’ so far. Love it!

My vision is for the expansion of my essential oils business; educating individuals and groups about the uses and benefits of therapeutic grade oils and products; how these oils and products can improve their life as they have mine. As a nurse healer I have a great interest in improving the lives of others by non-pharmaceutical means.
The expansion of my business wit increasing income, along with the knowledge that I am helping others, will enhance my life as well
This is my goal!
May 16th, 2010 at 5:59 am
My vision is to become a well-paid international speaker, transformational coach and author, using Seizing It as my vehicle. I am passionate about helping others realize that they can begin Seizing It – that they can move towards their dreams, goals and possibilities. I have created a 6 step intentional transformation model, and now want to create product, workbooks and cd’s around it. I also do a lot of speaking to professionals about growing executive presence, leadership skills, and project management skills. i want to integrate all of my transformation topics and create products to sell.
More than anything i want to travel and share my message, being well compensated for it, so that I can leave my confining 50-60 hour corporate cube career behind! I have learned powerful messages from that environment and am grateful to everyone, but I want freedom.
May 16th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
Hey David/Everyone,
I’m an Aussie also and have been a professional musician, a lawyer and finally I have found my true calling as a Holisic Health Coach (in training) with the help of the amazing Institute of Intergrative Nutrition. This book has come at the perfect time (I must be in the flow) as I’m currently setting up my business and web presence and this resource will be invaluable. Thanks so much for your generous offering.

Hi David:
My 3 step vision:
1. Finalise my idea for my new product by the end of the week.
2. Create my fabulous new info product.
3. Sell 1,000,000 copies and make a profound difference in the lives I touch.
Thanks for the book.

I love what you are planning and saying. For me when I am unable to attend a planned event the reason usually is it is not quite the right time. Something better is available, I need to change something within me or the right group is not yet there for me to connect with. Like attracts, so if the group for a particular talk or event doesn’t resonate then I usually have something come up that blocks me. When the event is right it is last minute and falls out of the sky into my lap and is fantastic.
Keep up the fab work.

Hey Pamela
You sound you are ready. You found a great resource here. David’s book will catapult you to the real thing. I am cheering for you. 50-60 hour corporate cube, no more. You go Pamela.
Would you participate in our mastermind ‘freedombuddy’, just a new word?’ teleconference?
I am sure you will have valuable things to contribute and also you will meet with real people who wants the same freedoms you want.
We have a web page http://itransformtheworld.wordpress.com/ and get the information on when and how you can participate.

Hey Carol
Thanks for helping on that. I guess it takes time to connect to the right people. I have a problem and I need correct it. I get soo excited and I think that everybody is going to be the same and show up, and get it going, engaged. But, I am learning how to be more “calm” and accept that out of 5 people that comes to the group may be 1 willing to get out of the normal life and give up some little comfortable habits and prepare for a transformation that is ahead. It took me some time too.
Thank you for the feedback.
Much Love
Celia
May 19th, 2010 at 9:29 am
David,
I am feeling excited to have a way to share my passion and skills that will really pay!
My vision is to be teaching people how mechanical things work, (power steering, for example), thus helping them to work on, and or communcate efectively with who is working on their stuff.
My revenue will be 200,000 plus, and I will work 1-2 days per week.

I love getting paid for doing what I do. And… love the yoga of efficiency in action: more people, less time, greater income, BIG GRACE. Yes. Let’s co-cre-acitvate THAT!
May 20th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
Yes. The ebb and flow is embedded into the emergence. I dance with this, too. And… actually support it in myself and my clients. Finding the feminine balance between constancy/consistency and change-ablility/authentic expression of ever changing emotions and energy.
It is the greater dance calling us into harmony with what is.
“Out of the Box.”
Blessed Is,

I know I’m very late getting started, but here are my three lines:
1) to be who I REALLY am meant to be
2) to make an extra $1,000 -$2,000 per month
3) to aquire a buddy so we can empower and impact others.
Looking forward.

I, also, am late in getting started. My goal is to brainstorm my way into leaving a lasting legacy for my friends and family (pretty much the same thing actually…) I am a Polish food lover and a closeted writer. I need a buddy or two to help keep me focused. I am using the library computers to keep in touch at this time and wonder if you might be the buddy to hold me accountable for my plans. Get back to me if this is amenable and we can get each other caught up.
May 21st, 2010 at 2:39 pm
1.Bring Polish food back into mainstream
2. Tithe 90% of earnings
3.Fund retirement accounts for family
4.Fund medical savings accounts for family
5.Fund education accounts for family

Technical professionals (a.k.a. “techies”) often have a tough time transitioning from a purely technical role into a leadership or management role — where communication, organization and people skills are critical. Their technical prowess just doesn’t cut it when the Human Factor comes into play. Although I’ve been coaching, mentoring, and educating techie leaders to greater levels of success for years, I’ve felt something was missing. My goals this year?
1. Launch “TechLORC(TM)” — Technical Leadership Online Resource Center — to provide education and support to techie leaders 24/7.
2. Reach a broader audience of techie middle managers, helping more of them realize their leadership potential.
3. Expand my income back into the six-figure range without having to sell my soul.
A tall order, but goals worth pursuing.
Wish me luck!

In 12 months I would like to be assisting 10 – 15 clients per month with services ranging from energy healing, transformation, to assistance with careers and employment. I have a passion to assist others to wake up to who they really are.
I’m helping people of all ages and all situations.
Currently I work 5 days per week in an office job as a Career and Employment Consultant. I will be focused on my new career for 1.5 day per week.
Thank You,
Michael
May 22nd, 2010 at 9:44 pm
Well, very new to this. Got my book, performed step one, and now completing step two. I am still in beginning stages as to what exactly I am going to step up but I know I will make six healthy figures in the next 12 months, being of service to a community, working three days a week. I cannot wait!

Hi! c-r:
Sorry I got back to you so late.
I think it’s possible to become buddies.
I’m a wannabe writer – it’s possible we could figure out something to work out with each other so, keep me posted, O.K.?
I just haven’t figured out what my main focus/passion that I could take action on yet for when I set up my website finally. I’ll probably use Weebly.
May 23rd, 2010 at 4:40 pm
Thanks, Charkin, working on my passions has taken 2nd place for so long I felt I needed focus. You KNOW that whatever you need and tell me about I will promise to do my best for you. I welcome any insight you might have into getting me back on track and helping me stay there.
May 23rd, 2010 at 4:43 pm
marlene, it sounds as if part of our goals are companions. should you care to be a part of my team, i would be honoured.
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:59 pm
Just got the book in and I am excited to jump right into it. I got laid off of work just two days ago, but it was exactly what I wanted to happen. A decent severance package and just the kick in the butt I needed to move on from the five-day-a-week-cubicle environment.
I’ve been a writer for a number of years and made a few small ripples in the water on a couple projects, but I am still working on that real “foot in the door” moment to happen.
My goal is to be writing full-time in 12 months and have the only debt left be school loans (possibly not even those).
I also completed a memoir a year ago and I want to get that edited, tightened up and transformed into e-book fashion and online for purchase.
May 24th, 2010 at 8:56 am
i would like to help educate our world about real food and how to get it. how to get it into our young people’s minds what real food is instead of processed big industry food. get in school lunches, gardens, etc.
May 25th, 2010 at 3:17 am
Hi David,
Firstly, thank you for writing such an awesome book!
And secondly, in answer to your questions, I would like my online business – http://www.healthyshiftworker.com -
to have expanded into an income generating business of $2000/month or more, in 12 months time.
I help inspire, motivate and educate shift workers to lead healthy and happy lives all around the world.
I will be working jobshare in my current role – and 2 days a week dedicated to my ‘Healthy Shift Worker Online Business’.
I can’t wait for the day to come when I can work from home!
Kind regards,
Audra Starkey

I write about “LOVE” in all sense of the word.
Love Lost and Love Found.
I write about passion and also devoted love.
Motherly Love…Spousal Love.
I hope to share inspiration with many that no matter what “LOVE” conquers all!

I would love to support women in releasing their fears, eliminating shame, guilt and regret from recovery, discovering and being empowered by their truth in purpose and in passion and truly embrace the amazing woman within.
June 8th, 2010 at 6:19 pm
We work with inventors and designers who are ready to take their creations into mass production for retail. It is fun and rewarding to be their manufacturing and packaging source and share all the insights we can to help them succeed. We have a fun group of clients who are making their dreams come true. People usually find us by word of mouth, so our vision would be to become better known nationwide, over time.
June 9th, 2010 at 2:33 pm
Hey, Cheryl,
Not to worry. Things have been holding me up also. Primarily getting on the internet is challenging for me at times.
I am also a writer, a cook, and a volunteer (in Tucson)so I keep busy. I think we could keep in touch by direct email, if you like. You could set up an email account just for the purpose of corresponding with the rest of your team. This will make it easier to stay in touch and remain accountable.
Hope to hear from you soon.
June 13th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
I love what you are up to! Thanks for creating and making it happen!
June 13th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Thank you for this vision! This is highly valuable in so many ways! I love your courage!
June 13th, 2010 at 4:57 pm
Yes, yes and yes! I love it! I am also trying to educate so when I have children…I can be the example for healthy living through Real Food!
Thanks for bringing this amazing gift in the world!
June 13th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
I love it! I totally get you! Good luck!!! Have fun too!
June 13th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
I would totally buy your e-book….I love cooking yummy stuff and would be so estatic to try cooking from other regions. = )
I am totally behind you and think its an awesome vision!
And if its simple, I’ll love it even more!
Go get ‘em!
June 13th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
I would love to know about those things! I have to pick very specific oils but don’t know what I am allergic to or what helps and soothes me. I would love to get your e-book!
I am super excited for you and can’t wait to see what you do next!
I love your goal!!!
June 13th, 2010 at 5:18 pm
Hi Natalie,
I love your picture on your website! I love the name/title “Life as Art!” Yes, I was immediately excited and thrilled!
As for feedback the articles didn’t captivate or even spark enough to start reading. Even though I love the subjects you picked.
For me personally, I like a little more white space when I am skimming or reading things like David’s book.
If you have good stuff in there not sure I would get that far. The front page is a little overwhelming.
I hope this helps. I do love what you are doing and excited for your amazing journey!
I have been reading and visiting this website: http://www.shonaghhome.com/. I thought you might find some helpful insights from this amazing book and stunning website.
You are definitely on the right track! Keep going! Thanks for being brave enough to ask for feedback!!!!

My vision:
1. Finish my website.
2. Establish my tutoring business.
3. Develop enough revenue to retire from public school teaching in 2 years.
From the beginning, the one thing I always said that I did not want to be was a teacher. Funny thing is, that’s what I have always been and in everything I try I’m always teaching. I have the soul of a teacher. It turns out that what I did not want to be is a teacher in a conventional classroom. I become bored very easily and teaching the same subject, following the same routine everyday is just not for me. That just does not let me be who I am as a teacher. Early on I found special education and it challenged me and made me think and change routines and subjects constantly. It stretched me to look for and take advantage of any teachable moment. The other part of public school teaching that really was not for me was large schools. I eventually found an alternative school with fewer than 250 students from 7th grade – 12th grade and have been happy.
I really want to continue to teach for the rest of my life, but do it more and more on my own terms. So I am using David’s book to help me realize that vision. I am not very good at self-motivation, so this is going to be a challenge for me. But I’m on my way!
June 18th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
My mission statement:
Improving the lives of animals through education, training and support of the people in their lives.
I know, sounds like a non profit, probably because I’ve worked in the non-profit animal care industry for most of my adult life. And that’s what excites me, making a difference in the bond people have with their animals. I have a lot of knowledge in this arena, and by sharing that knowledge, I can complete my mission.
I own a pet care business that currently only provides services (dog walking, training, dog and cat vacation visits). I love what I do, but it is definitely a 365 day/year business. I would like to earn more money through creating dog training products I can sell on my website. I’ll be helping dog owners strengthen the bond they have with their dogs (i.e. not pull their hair out when the cute puppy grows into a big untrained adolescent dog!
In 12 months I want my online business to be creating $50K per year. This income will allow me to hire others to deal with all the yucky admin stuff I hate, and spend more time with the animals and their owners, and our Pet Caretakers.
My final vision is that everyone who comes into contact with my business is helped in some way, their lives are better because of it, and so is mine!

Yes! So much potential for healing! Alot of women have been there.
June 30th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Very creative! All the best in your endeavour.

Yes – even exposure to great food would have an amazing impact. If kids get a taste for great food, it lasts a life time.

Hi Patricia!
I am an aromatherapist and have a home business called Aromahealing Aromatherapy (see web site above). I just recently got my web site up and going but want to have articles educating people about aromatherapy accessible on it eventually. Right now I am only offering 2 products – a moisturizer and cleanser, although I have created over 20 blends for different areas of emotional and physical support.
I have a passion for wanting to offer individuals products that will minimize their toxic exposure – that is where the alkaline, ionized water and essential oil products come in – but could be extended to environmental and food too.
Let’s keep in touch! I live in British Columbia and spend multiple months in Glendale, AZ in the winter months.

Hi Celia!
Your idea is commendable and powerful for sure.
A team can work miracles and I am always on the lookout for like-minded, creative, determined women that could unite for each to pursue their individuals dreams.
All the best with your meetup – the ideal would be for it to be virtual.

I have an audition video for Oprah to Change the Face of Recovery. If you go to my website: http://www.awomandivine.com you can click on the link from there. I would love your feedback.
Happy 4th!

I am so glad that I joined your lovely community. I’ve been a life coach for a long time, before certifications were sought after, and just started my business at the end of 2009 based on an inner urging and the economy. What I have struggled with the most is defining my target audience because I wanted to be all things to all people and couldn’t think through how to focus it down and lock into a niche. Your worksheet on this page was well worth joining the community. Although it is so simple, sometimes it is the simplest things that trip us up in our thinking and progress.
Thanks so very much David. And to think I have been seeing your emails in my inbox for so long.

Hello world!
My marketing communications boutique, Pink Elephant Communications, just turned two last month. The entrepreneurial life isn’t always as easy as my old direct deposit salaried paycheque was but it is far more interesting, rewarding and fun. I picked up David’s book on a lark, and got super inspired.
In the next three months, I’ll be opening up a newsletter shop – an e-boutique – full of my own articles to make newsletter publishing super easy for other entrepreneurs who might not love writing – or might just be too busy saving the world in other ways.
I’ll be offering newsletter design services too. And if someone wants a fully custom newsletter, Pink Elephant would love to help with that as well.
In addition, I’ll be giving away a free worksheet that will make answering “What do you do?” really easy and an awesomely effective way of promoting your business without sounding like a jerk.
If you’re not ready to hire Pink Elephant for one-on-one consulting, you might be interested in purchasing the special report and workbook I’m currently working on: Guilt-free marketing for the socially conscious – A full marketing plan in one hour. It will be everything I know about cheap and effective marketing tactics for brilliant businesses on a shoestring budget (like mine!). Wish me luck in completing it for fall.
In twelve months’ time – to answer your kind question, David – I will be working four days per week, I’ll be making $90,000, I’ll be helping socially-conscious small businesses across the globe (and, by extension, the nice people they help). I don’t know yet where I’ll be living. That’s a giant question mark. But I will get to travel, for certain. Paris again. And… whatever inspires me. Maybe India? Australia? Any suggestions?
Thank you all for being a part of this project and for your support. Seeing all of your ideas is beautiful encouragement!
And thank you, David, for putting finger to keypad and giving us your thoughts.
Warmly,
Carrie

I just re-read this and eek! – sorry, folks, I’m not trying to market TO you… it kinda reads that way in spots. It’s hard to describe ambitions for a marketing business and the offerings therein without sounding sales-y.
July 6th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
Would you please let me know how to contact you?I have a similar mission,and a complementary service that prevents homelessness of pets.

Hi this entire journey is scary for me because other than reading this book, I am uncertain about how to get started. What my online business should be, although I know I’d like to start out making at least $1000-2000 a month in additional revenue. I’m not sure who my niche market will be.
At present I work with high school seniors as a college adviser. I love helping young people decode the college application process, as well as helping them decide what they might like to do as a career. But I can see myself helping adults with that too because I am a career changer leaving secretarial and office management to counseling.
Fitness and wellness is another love of mine. I’m a reflexologist and aromatherapist. Have been a vegan, vegetarian, and now I eat fish and turkey. I also am a master at doing a Master Cleanse fast.
I’m also a worn and weary MLM’er, but I’ve had enough of that.
Because I’ve worked in so many areas in my life, waitress, fitness instructor, trainer (essential oils, stress management, software applications), seamstress, hairdresser, etc., I feel qualified to coach people through what careers would best suit them.
I was a young widow (33)who has raised a son, who graduated from one of the top high schools in country. I also exposed him to everything that interested him, soccer, fencing, basketball, science programs, camp, drums, and music, etc. which rounded him out.
I love listening to people’s stories, it keeps me connected to humanity. I guess it’s the natural born counselor in me. :=) I’ve been told that I am able to get to the heart of most people’s issues without making them feel uncomfortable or threatened. Young, middle age, and older folks. In fact, my young 95+ year old neighbor told me just yesterday that I am her best friend because she can talk to me about anything.
Creatively, I am a writer, singer, and have studied voice overs.
One more thing that I enjoy doing is taking complicated topics and putting them in layman’s terms, so that people can understand better. So, you see because I love learning, my life has been very busy.
I had a short run with a resume writing service, oh, yes, and I could be an expert on what not to do when you purchase real estate, I got caught up in the real estate disaster.
If anyone can jump in at any time and give me some feedback, I would love to hear what you have to say.
Thank you for taking the time to read this long post.
July 24th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
Hi Brenda!
Finally have a minute to respond as I read your post some time ago. Sounds like you’re pulled in many different directions and I can relate! A few ideas – do an exercise to tap directly into your passion, use some of your experitise in helping others on yourself. You definitely have people skills thought!
Sounds like you have a healthy life. I too am an aromatherapist and have accessed many other alternative health modalities. I’m sure they all have a part in what I will create for myself! I can see myself combining my Psychology Degree with alternative health in some context.
MLMing is simply an alternate distribution method. Companies mislead individuals with their own biased promotions and luring methods but if its something you are passionate about it can be done with alot of effort.
I admire your strength as a single mother and I have a sense that it would be good to now dedicate that to yourself.

I want to help adults who are going back to school or otherwise doing some continuing education, like certification exams. I see my site with free reports, free newsletter, blog, interactive tutorials, and, in a few years, coaching and consulting. I plan on also working as an Internet Radio talk show host in the same area

Hello Everybody,
I just received the book and I have high hopes that it will compliment my other techniques and envision tools that I have learned and continue to enjoy. The 1st thing where my passion lays, even before it was trendy, was to help and do what I can to recycle. I live somewhere that people are less than motivated and no incentives to do so. If I can help people learn the impact, make it easier, and contribute to the protection of this beautiful world, and make money to enjoy life and spread the word. That would be my goal. I am working on finding a passive income where I can stop being a drone in a cubicle and live and enjoy life as it was intended. I would like to work from home a few days a week, but couple it with getting out, traveling, and meeting new people. Doing that along with my passion would be my vision. Thank-You

Help people to be brilliant at sales.

Hello to all,
I just read through some of the comments and posts. This in neat stuff.
Sometimes I feel all alone in my fears and insecurities. Knowing that other people are just as unsure as I am is comforting.
It will have to remain a secret among us on this site that I’ve got the “confidence of a squashed mushroom”, according to an old friend and mentor of mine who has since passed away.
I want to motivate people to put their fears aside and face communication obstacles in life courageously.
To do that, one must be able to effectively present themselves and their ideas with power and conviction. When a presentation and/or conversation has concluded, the listener needs to fully understand what was in your mind as you spoke.
When we feel we can make an audience of 1 or 1,000 understand our ideas, we are empowered to motivate and change the lives of those around us. We grow more confident with each verbal interchange.
In twelve months I want to be able to walk away from my corporate sales position and become a coach to sales people and anyone that wants to make improvements in their lives when the odds are against them.
I’m happy where I live and enjoy the view out the back door overlooking a small valley.
As for inner freedom, I would love to see an end to the nagging feeling that I could and should have more control of my life if I could just get paid for WHO I am.
I’ve just taken the first step of reading the initial page assignment and coming to this site. It looks promising so far, and the comments have been life altering already.
So, it looks like I’m in. I’m going to move forward with my dream of being a chubby, cotton topped, freckle faced, fingernail biting, thumb sucking, agoraphobic stutterer turned public speaker, writer and coach.
I’m inspired!
Thanks to all,
Scotty

…Just got the book in the mail. I prefer it over the virtual one.
My score for the quiz on page 22 wasn’t good at all except for “inner freedom”. I really do feel free at my core.
My story: I’m a single senior who’s upbringing and 45 year career was in helping others.
The book I want to write is not very “sexy” but has been my passion for 25 years after the suicide of my son. I started writing back then to heal myself, not about that experience, but about everything else. I write poetry, prose, short stories, so on. I’m also an artist.
Having worked in the medical field for many years, I put my own creative expression on hold while I attended to the needs of others.
Now, retired but in excellent health, I’m seeking ways to be productive and profitable in new ways. I am not computer illiterate, but I’m not that savvy about the way to earn money online. I’m eager to learn.
Thank you David, in advance, for your help.

In an ever changing and competative world I aspire to find ways to increase my financial security while at the same time helping others to do the same.
We should all aspire to work towards making the world a better place to live.
To that end I am involved with a project that is blog based with a focus on financial freedom and helping others.
September 12th, 2010 at 1:44 pm
I am looking to David’s resources to help me turn my coaching skills into a source of income.
September 18th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
1. I want a website, newsletter, ebook and coaching/teaching program designed to help peope find their motivation to make real change in their lives. No real change can happen until you identify what it is that will keep you committed. I am a Finance major, so I will start in my comfort zone and center my company around finalial transformation with a focus on debt reduction. I want to have two seperate programs, one for audults and the second for kids. I am still working on the plan and how to put the two tracks together, but that is what I want to create.
2. I want my business generating 2,000 to 3,000 per month within 9 months of launching my product
3. I expect to still work full time and I’m not really sure where I will be living as I like where I am now. One significant change though will be I plan to own my home free and clear within 10 years but my aspiratonal goal is 5 years.
I look forward to the jouney and finally launching a career where the mission is to help people change their lives.

Dear Janis,
What a wonderful person you must be. I am sure you have been an inspiration to many people. I am happy for you that you are now able to pursue your dreams, and in good health also. I am sure you have much to give to others.
I too hope to work with other people as I have in various organizations and in jobs I have had in the past. If we can all give a little back, what a wonderful place the world will be.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Dear Judy,
Thank you for your lovely note. I really enjoy being a cheerleader for those who help others. You seem similar too. Together, in spirit, we will support each other and help others in return. It’s known as the “Butterfly Effect.” The tiny flutter of butterfly wings can cause a strong response in the atmosphere eventually.

i just registered and iam so excited and can’t wait to get paid. i can’t believe it that easy
October 12th, 2010 at 10:01 am
David,
I took you up on this offer back in the spring, David. I got the e-book, got excited and then let it slide.I canceled out of the GPFWYA site and all offers as I was just too frustrated not knowing what I can give. Pulled the ebook up again, skimmed a bit not knowing at all what I want to share to help the planet or others, using talents or abilities that must be latent or just plain overlooked. I’m trusting I’ll see them though, maybe they’re in my face as I write this : ). I tried finding your site again, to no avail. I must be fertile for change at this moment in time, because lo and behold there you were again when I opened my mail this morning. I ordered the paperback to curl up with whenever I want. I’m going to open up more to receiving and just trust as well as take this opportunity to say THANK YOU!
I love your new place BTW. You’re practically a neighbor, I’m in S. OR.
Love 2 U

Hello David,
Well this is what networking is really about in my opinion: win-win situations. Thank you from Birmingham in the UK – this is very exciting. I will read the book with pleasure just knowing that I’ve contributed to helping the rainforest. Kurly xxx

Thanks bud. Great site you got going on here. Have some more links to link to with more information?
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:41 pm
Thank you David, for making this book available to those of us seeking to create positive changes in our lives.
I am looking forward to reading and implementing the ideas you outline.
Jack Canfield gave a kind recommendation for your work; nice to know you have his support!
