If you don’t have your book yet, I’d love to know why.
Is the problem that it’s free? Are you too busy? Not interested in how to Get Paid For Who You Are?
Please share your reason here.
D
P.S. If you just got caught up and still want the book, you can still get it for free here.

Hi
I did get the book. I’ve somehow subscribed via two different websites and two different email adds so that’s whay it may look like I haven’t downloaded it. I’ve now unsubscribed one of my addresses.
Thanks
Emma
Hi Mate I am real sorry. I am one flat out working Coach that’s just has not had time to ask. but in reality I would love one. As I say to my clients dont give in just hang in good things come to us.
Kris Chambers
Have recieved the book and will review it this summer. Thanks
Hi David, Can I skip all the process and order here? If so, appreciate that and would you send the ebook to me via email? Many thanks..
Celia
I tried to download it when I subcribed, but could not find it…I figured it didn’t work, but continue to read blog etc – I LOVE it! How about I go and get @ Barnes & Noble?
I’ve been using your principles and following each day…wouldn’t miss it!
Thank you, David
I sent you the ebook – enjoy!
All others please click support top left of blog…
I just sent you the link Christina
David,
And to add to my previouse post. . . I have been seeking employment for about 3 years and haven’t been able to find anything so your book may help me get my business moving but in the mean time. . . ?????
in the meantime you do need to support yourself by any means – even if it’s $10 sweeping floors, or collecting cans for recycling – DO WHAT IT TAKES to support yourself (seems you have been cause you’re still here 🙂 ) and build your online biz on the side.
David,
Its unfortunate that $10.00 an hr won’t pay my bills just as it would not pay yours!!! Especially since you appear to live in one of the most expensive cities in America. Thanks for your help?!?
David,
I have made note of the fact that you have been in to check out my website. I find it interesting that you haven’t bothered to give me ANY kind of feedback!! Too bad! The products that I sell in person sell EXTREMELY well but no one (not even YOU) seems to be able to tell me what I am missing on the website. This is VERY discouraging!! I’m just trying to make a living like everyone else. . . not trying to send out bad karma or anything else. . . just want my site to work and sell!!
Derek
Hi,
Got your book weeks ago. It inspired me to begin writing again and to get published. Thanks for your generosity and all the free tools you tipped in the book.
I am currently polishing my writing skills and will then begin implementing the plan outlined. “Chance favors the prepared mind”- Pasteur
David,
I do have your book and am working through it. I think you have some very viable points and am looking forward to finishing it. I haven’t been able to because there are lots of THINGS going on in my life. . .
1) I am about to lose my home to foreclosure.
2) I am probably going to have to file bankruptcy and don’t know if I will be able to.
3) The website that I have needs some work and there is no time right now to work on it.
I hope these are enough reasons cuz I’m about at the end of my rope!!
wow – best wishes as you go through this trial..
I did get the book (I got confused and did it twice. Been too busy to read it.
thanks
I’ve been traveling and I just read your e-mails. When I get through the 198 e-mails in my in box I’ll come back and explore mor!
Dano!
Several reasons:
1. Very busy remodeling a house, programming consulting, having a family, working on improving my marriage
2. NWD and trying to shave my life down to the essentials for the next few weeks
3. A bit skeptical about the premise of an internet business
4. A bit more skeptical that I can actually do it, and that I have something to offer, (my own “stuff” coming up, owning where I’m at)
One of the reasons that I’m hanging in there is that I believe you, that it is possible, and that you really do care. I’m even paying for the membership that I don’t have time for yet. Working to balance everything and transform “I hope I can get to this” to something definite.
LOL – Dano – when the time is right – READ CHAPTERS 1 and 2. That will sort you out.
And look for me in the NWD forum brother – quite a journey huh?
I haven’t received the book, which I would love a hard copy. I have been a caregiver to my sister who’s stomach collapsed and was severly dehydrated. She underwent surgery and the road back has been a slow but blessed process.
Best wishes for your books success and as always David I love hearing from you.
Much Love and Hugs,
Diana
David,
Been following you for years…started coaching about the same time. Ordered you book through another e-mail. Great accomplishment.
Thank you
Debra
Cathy
Hello, I did claim your book but haven´t had time to read it, personal and work and study commitments. But I appreciate your gift very much and I wish you the very best. Warmly, Cathy
Hi David,
I downloaded a copy and I am scheduling time this week to start to read it. It is a 171 pages so I am pacing myself, but it has peaked my interest. I will continue to read the emails I receive and I’ll provide more feedback as I move along the process. Thank you for this gift. Best Stephanie
Thank you D! I received an e-mail and just downloaded the book. I am excited to read it. I appreciate your quick response. You are kind
maryalice
Michele
because last time I ordered something from you I had continuous monthly billing that I was not expecting, and I do not want to run into that experience again.
David Wood
understood – thanks for the feedback Michelle.
We now try and make it crystal clear about what you’re selecting, and from past feedback I even created a video to explain it this time, and then set it so you had to specifically check a box to opt-in.
So I think we’re getting better at it, and we can always learn more.
thanks for sharing your experience
Hello, David,
You ask why I have not claimed your free
book. The answer is that not only did I claim it, I sent the link to a friend in Australia who was very grateful.
i have not had time to read much of it or participate in the following discussion, not that I would not benefit from it, I’m sure. I’m one of those over-extended entrepreneurs. My passion and who I am are wrapped up in my Take Charge of Your Life book. One reader commented that the book literally saved her life. I am planning to do a public workshop on the book later this year. Am wrapped up in many things and personal responsibilities, too. I am beginning to let go of things, though, like my teleseminars on how to conduct a book-signing tour, closing out the articlesaboutbooks.com website, and possibly others.
I did see your video. It was cute. I once led Toastmasters in a Washington DC district of about 3,000 people, and I said what you say – don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself and be real. We ended the year ranked #1 in the world.
You are amazing.
David Wood
congrats!
Haydyn
David – just returned from Asian holiday and am still catching up. Will look for link to your e-book and download later today. Keep up all the good work.
Regards
Haydyn
Sydney, Australia
I’m not interested in the product at this time. I don’t have a desire to order it, i was only looking at your ad in the first place. Hope this answer’s your question
Hi Dave,
thanks for that.
You can unsubscribe using the link at the bottom of any email, if you subscribed by mistake. Sounds like you may have.
And to clarify – if you choose ebook, and set donation to zero, you skip the shopping cart. You’re not ordering it.
Katie Davis
I’m confused. I did sign up and receive an email copy. – Katie
Andrea
Signed up several weeks ago. Didn’t arrive. Has just arrived by email this morning.
thanks Andrea
It seems a bunch of people didn’t get added to the autoresponder – I just handled it, which is why you got it this morning.
Glitch!
Peter Pullar
Thanks for the reminder.
I have been busy and have not read my e-mail carefully enough to see what you are offering. It is amazing how many opportunities I miss while working long hours to pay debts!
truly!
I figured most people may have just missed the email
Which is why I plan to send an eye opener – I don’t want people to miss this
Have to balance it with not annoying those who really have no interest – although then I wonder why they are subscribed in the first place.
Ludo
I requested the book and made a $20 donation for the rain forest. So far no email (other than order confirmation).
I hope to have more luck with the paper copy. 🙂
David Wood
I’ll have sarah email you
Furenza
I ordered a hard copy of the book and never received it. I am not one to sit at the computer to read.
Thank you.

JEAN-LUC
Hello David,
First I have not receive your promo and notice you free e-book. I will download it now.
Second I am in confusion in or with my life. I would like to be a life coach but I don’t know where to start to be successfull. If you have any advise let me know. Thanks. Jean-Luc
I use two different e-mail addresses. Book has been downloaded, read from cover to cover and already applying tips made in the book. Thank you for making it available.
Julie
KoalaSue
I did download and read your ebook. Thank you! You have 2 different email addresses of mine and so I only downloaded it and read the emails from one of the addresses.
Thanks again!
Actually I have read your book twice and have a website now.
I also have your Coaching Start up Manues also.
I love it all!
David Wood
sweet!
Hello,
I actually did recieve the book weeks ago.
I just now got an email about a ebook which if it’s the same book I probably won’t download.
Thank you.
I plan to read it soon.
I appreciate your generosity to charity.
Dana
Hi David
The truth is:
The ONLY Australian Entrant in the Velux 5 Oceans “Round the World Solo” starting in LaRochelle 17th October 2010 is my partner.
Our reality is that we are totally self funded and we don’t have the deep pockets that the rest of the world presumes you have when you own a boat. The fact of the matter is Garry is a champion at being able to find a boat at a great price and then bring her back to life with something called “hard work” of which he does 99% himself.
I’m doing every aspect of Managing, PR, Building the website, setting up the business model behind the event etc.
Whilst we are trying to get sponsorship that is not a certain thing so we are trying to maximise our opportunity and certainly Internet Marketing is a major consideration – I just haven’t had the time as yet to follow the IM stuff up as I’ve been so busy on the front end (like trying to get the website up to have a presence to assist with the seeking of sponsorship) – it’s all a catch 22!
David as a fellow Aussie, I’d love to be able to link with someone like you to explore opportunities & why don’t you considercoming to visit us when the leg gets to USA, or Brazil or any of the other ports.
I now must write a press release to go out later today and get back onto the website to have it uptodate (new front page, supports page, and update blogs and news items) before the press release hits the papers (assume Wednesday).
PS, I did go and download it and sent the message to my Facebook so it will be interesting to track it. I like that bit.

Good luck Cheryle!

David:
I received your eBook under two email addresses. Being on a turbo stick presented some sign up problems so I registered a 2nd email addy and have been receiving your correspondance to both. You sent the “Why” question to the one I don’t use so I will cancel that subscription to your newsletter. I am putting my eBook(s) together to sell on line soon. Enjoyed your simple step by step process very much.
Murray
David Wood
smart answer – thanks Murray
Astrid
I used a different email address to download the book. Well done and many thanks!
Astrid
Astrid
Hi David,
I got the e-book already using a different address. It’s awesome! Well done and many thanks.
Astrid
Theresa
Thanks for asking.. I received the book already through a different email account (which I have since unsubscribed from the website; didn’t realize I had two subscribed).
Lisa
Hey David,
I’m sorry I haven’t downloaded your book, but I’ve been swamped! Nursing school is taking a lot out of me, and the last thing I want to do right now is read another book. I’m glad to know things are going so well for you, and I think of you often. One of my classmates totally remindes me of you.
Lova Ya,
Skeeter
David Wood
hey Skeeter! Hugs
john
I got the ebook already…. I used a different email address. The book is great and very resourceful. Thank you very much.
Hi David,
I have just been overwhelmed with work and did not take the time yet to get busy with your book. I really love your philosophy and your project, and I want to go for it. Just take the time it takes… Good luck with this (I’ll follow it closely), all the best,
Harriet
Dennis Whyte
I donated, and I have the ebook. Your records are incorrect.
June Berndt
Downloaded already
Laura
David, I think there may be a glitch in your system. I downloaded the book and made a donation right when it came out. Not sure why I am in your records as not having downloaded it.
I also just want to mention that in your email when you say I “haven’t taken advantage of 2.5 years of work” it lands over here as a guilt trip. The rest of the email lands s genuine curiosity and interest, but when you talk about the “huge amount of work” you’ve put into the product, while I feel ya, I don’t see how it’s relevant to the rest of the email.
love you,
Laura
David Wood
thanks Laura – totally.
Renee McHarris
I have simply been in the throws of reading papers and calculating final grades. As soon as all my grades are submitted, I will download the maaterials, assuming they are still available.
Hello David,
I think I got on your list from a bonus for somethingelse I bought. So I never took the time to get to know you. Your request for help got my attention however. I will download the book and skim it to see if it fits in with what I am doing now.
Thanks for your persistence. Your last e-mail seemed more authentic than most of the e-mail marketing stuff I get. My experience is free usually turns out to be a hassle with upsells and appeals to the greed factor.
Best Wishes,
Charles
David Wood
Hi Charles
thanks for that. Writing copy is a dance, and it doesn’t always land the way you want it to.
And when you send to 60,000 or 120,000 the responsibility is….well, it’s there 🙂
upsells are not inherently evil. It’s about whether or not you got value from the freebie, yes?
And I take your point, we are all a bit jaded
John
Hi David,
My wife has ordered a copy of your book and we are both reading it..thanks
John
P.S. – Got my free copy via the link at the bottom of the email. Look forward to it. Thank you. Kim
You were asking why I haven’t downloaded your book yet – main reason – for some reason I didn’t notice that it was no charge, nor did I see where I could down load it – I am recovering from a car accident with a concussion and have some visual issues among other things – I’ve come a long way with more to go. Please direct me where to go and what to do – would love to have your information. The second item is time with medical, legal and living. Would love to simplify and derive more income from the internet – look forward to learning how and being very successful. Thanks for your reply. Look forward to your directions and info. My best, Kim
David Wood
Mac
Just downloaded the book after receiving your followup call for help. Didn’t earlier because frankly, every internet marketer is now offering me something for free, but generally it’s only free after I spend money on something else. Since I purchased you CD last year, it will be interesting to see if there is anything new in the book.
Keep up the good work. Cheers!
David Wood
let me know Mac
and that’s a great point – there’s a lot of free stuff, so we value it less now.
tks
I really love what you write. I am afraid I am too busy to read a whole book,I have to many unread downloads on my computer. If it can be said on one page, I am in. Meanwhile, I am doing the things I love, and I am getting paid for it.
David Wood
totally get it Karina
ah….so you’re still on my email list because you like things in short nuggets….
that’s really useful – tks
Downloaded the ebook through a different email account and Loved it. Thanks !
ginger
I have the book, got it in the mail last week. Thanks, Ginger
David Wood
ah – so different email addresses.
OK, I’ll have to work out how to allow for that – good point.
I ordered a printed copy. It never came.
I called to follow up, and it was sent.
Then I get this email asking why I didn’t download it
(which I did, and I only use one email address)
or claimed a physical book (which I did).
Mildly irritating.
Feedback about email tone…
the parts below that I bolded feels heavy and occur as guilt-like to me. I didn’t really like that part.
“my system tells me you haven’t claimed an ebook
or physical copy -WHEN I’M OFFERING IT AT NO COST.
I’m surprised because you subscribed to my mailing list,
but haven’t taken advantage of 2.5 YEARS OF WORK…”
The fact that it came on top of 2 parts of misinformation (that I have “claimed” both versions of book… with some effort on my part) brought the email up to slightly more than mildly irritating.
Just thought I’d let you know how it landed over here.
Good luck!
David Wood
Hey thanks Erin – that’s really useful.
David Wood
Erin – you are not tagged in the system as downloading a book. Did you perhaps unsubscribe from that particular autoresponder?
I downloaded the digital version; is there a print version too?
I’m too busy working on my profit-sharing projects with software companies, helping them boost their email marketing campaigns.
Your book taught me to do only what I like the best, and neglect the rest!
David Wood
Alicia Lischinsky
Hi David!
I did download and read the book a couple of weeks ago! Great stuff! Thank you for all your work!
A Little Late
I paid for the book just a few days before you were offereing it for free… bummer, eh?
Jazmin Rain
I did download and read it! I’ll tweat this though because I think you’re awesome! There are great intensions in what you do.
Shelly
Hey….. I ordered the book, donated, and still haven’t received anything…. it’s been a month or so?
Looking forward to its arrival…..
thanks!
Shelly
Hi Shelly – sorry about that! I’ll have Sarah email you.
And anyone else – pls use Support link top left of the blog.
Thanks!
D
Hi David,
Sorry! I just ordered your free book and made my donation. keep up the good work! By the way, I like your concept of sending books to friends by using the different networking method. I’ve bookmarked it and will start doing it with my mailing list.
Thanks,
Jeff Garofalo
Naomi
Hey there-
Thanks for being concerned, but…?
I downloaded it when you first offered it-
From my *other* e-mail address, k?
I’m not dissing you; Not at all!
Thank you for all that you do,
Naomi
David – Hi, great work. Thank you for jogging my memory and doing it “earnestly”. It worked. Book is on order. Everything else you’ve suggested for my business has worked, I appreciate your savvy and approach. All best,
Shelley Lynn
ps. if you’re ever in Vegas, look me up at Bluesky Yoga, class is on me.
Sandy
Hi David!
Thanks for checking on me, I downloaded the e-book as soon as I saw your message!
Richard
Book is on order…
I have downloaded it and ordered a book and have 18 people to date who have donated & ordered books. I used my personal email address instead of my business one – sorry for the confusion.
I am not sure. I am finishing my Masters in Addiction Therapy.Maybe I assumed I wouldnot be able to establish a career via Solution Box’s program. I have never met any Life Coaches that functioned in the area of Addiction Therapy. My degree will require internship and licensure, but I won’t be able to function independently as in a private practice. This is probably my concern. How can I actually utilize the informationand generate an income stream?
Cornell
David Wood
Cornell – the book will help you find clients
Shaun
David, I can only apologise. Have been tremendously busy and am finding it hard to prioritise. Will download the book now if I still can. Shaun
Roy
David, I admire your work and I know you will stay in touch with me. I did not download the book because I have been busy with other things. I am being paid for what I love doing and for who I am, have 4 books on the go to read etc, and wish I was able to stretch 24 hours to accellerate my goals and vision, alas, we do have to prioritize. I Thank you though for the reminder.
jennephyr
Hi David, I did receive your ebook and I’m in the process of reading it. So far it’s been great! Thank you so much for sharing your information!
Linda
I trust that my intuition will bring to attention the books that I need to read. No judgement on the book, you or your work just that the life process I am experiencing right now needs different resources.
love and best wishes to you all.
Hi, David! I downloaded the book when you first announced it and have passed it on to several others. Great read and resources!
I actually have received my book and am half way through it. And I love it.
Warren
Monique
Hi David,
I did get your ebook, am reading it and get many great ideas to work on.
Don’t know why your systems says I didn’t get it…
Monique
David – Got the ebook, but haven’t received my hard copy yet. I think your system is seeing my second email address – somehow I ended up signing up for you email list twice.
I got the free ebook. I have my website, but I’m not really sure how to do all this computer stuff. I’ve been working on an ebook that teaching how to read and use TheRunes “The Magick and Power of the Runes” by magicksinger (me) and I’m still working out some details on the last chapter. I got the ebook and it’s great. It made me start thinking, if I’m going to get paid for who I really am, “Who am I?” “What defines me?” “How can I take that into recieving abundantly from the Universe for being who I am. How do I present this to world?” I needed your book to bring these questions up. Some of the answers are obvious. “I AM” “I am loving and compassionate and fun-loving.” “I am a Wiccan Priestess and I love to teach what I know” “I am a talented writer” And “I am much to hard on myself!” “I am a surviver, too, but maybe in having survived so much since Hurricane Katrina (I’m from New Orleans) I have forgotten how to just LIVE! And just BE!” These are issues that needed to be addressed within myself and I discovered those questions that are leading to answers because of your ebook! Thank you. Self re-discovery and re-evaluation is a constant flow that I had gotten out of but now I am seriously into again. I defined myself too much by my city, culture, friends, family…Without that network around me, in a different place around different people (three new States in 5 years) who am I? Figuring that out is the process that will lead to discovering who I really am and allowing myself to ride that wave to success and financial freedom from just being myself and doing what I love. I am 49 and I am rediscovering myself because of your ebook. Thank you for being who you are and giving away this treasure. I am going to reread it. I am also going to be sending a donation soon. I have some money coming to me in the next three days. When it credits to my account, I will be giving a percentage of it, applying what I know to be a certaintly – giving opens the flow to recieving. Thank you again. Genevieve
Lisa Singh
Thanks for the reminder. I did get busy and forget to download the book. I have it now and am reading it!
David Wood
right on!
Hi David,
As with many others here, I did download the book (and donated). I expect the problem is that I have probably ended up with multiple email addresses in your system.
Sandra
Hi David,
I downloaded a copy of your book and made a donation 😉
Maybe there is a bug in your system ?
Greetings from Luxembourg,
Sandra
Judi
I do have the ebook. I’m not sure why your system says I don’t.
Hello David,
I already downloaded a copy under my regular email– but donated using my paypal email. Your question about why I haven’t downloaded just shows that my two emails aren’t linked.
Hope that helps!!
Kimberly
I do have it! I’ve made my website with Weebly and am working on content. Thanks!
Liz
Brigid
I do have it! I downloaded it and made a $10 donation!!!!!
I am travelling for the next month and so haven’t had chance to read it yet so I can’t comment on it yet.
It is on a harddrive 3000 miles away!
scotty fredell
David,
I watched your youtube videos. Great stuff. I designed a new awesome business card and ordered 100 to carry around… I will be handing to those who open up to me and seek advice… I have not downloaded the free ebook yet… Why? I’m not sure. I studied business and online marketing for an entire month non stop and became very stressed with money on the mind.. I am very confident and have learned to love and respect myself very much. I find that focusing or thinking about money puts kinks in my creative flow. All things fall into place or fall out of place as they should… Money, I believe is one of the major causes of seperateness leading to war. Reason being that there are machines that print this money… Who owns the machines? I don’t know? But I do know that money and things only hold fictional value and all desintigrate with time.. Unlike the being that we are, the being that is and will always be, with or without money, with or without any thing… As mother earth provides for all of the other animals what is vital to life, it also provides to those who have reconnected with her… My heart yearns not for money or things but for Peace, within and without… yes, I do use money, but the mask covering it’s false face value is wearing thin, and through the eyes of the inner child One sees the illness hiding beneath and knowing the cure seeks to aid in its healing.
I have had a dream vision for a very long time to live in a wonderful tree house… it seems I may have to use money to have it built… I paint, blow glass, write poems/songs, produce music, and many other creative things… I seek to trade/barter these gifts to have the tree house built and sustained… Can you Help with this? I know very well how business works but when i participate in it stress arises. I seek a partner who can help handle the business aspects. Can you spare a couple minutes to see/hear this art and provide some feedback? THank you for sharing your gift… you are an inspiration bro. Can We Speak for 10 minutes a week? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Peace and Healing,
Scotty “Izwel” Fredell
David Wood
Hi Scotty
unfortunately with 120,000 people in this community I can’t do that. But if you post brief, specific questions on the blog I’ll respond.
And we’re announcing a training course tomorrow, in response to all the feedback
catherine vance
got the e-mail but didn’t know what to do so its been deleted could i get it again to see if i can get it this time still waiting for hard copy thanks
Francine
You asked why I didn’t respond to the free e-book or hard copy. Well, I DID!! I ordered a hard copy and NEVER RECEIVED IT! I hope I wasn’t ripped off.
Julia
Like others I’ve received the book…got it in the first round trying out the web site and made a donation. Impressed that you’re trying to track everyone. I do have an alternate email address, so that may be your problem. Looks like you’re finding out about some folks who had tech probs, so I guess that’s good. Finished by finals last week, and still recovering….but I’ll get a bit of time to read next week before classes start again. I’m thinking about what I might do. Enjoyed listening to the conference call in recording (since I was taking a final at the actual ltime). Thanks for recording it.
Julia
Sarah
Hi, I did receive the book and donated to the lap top project. Thanks for checking, but it looks like the records are mistaken.
ciao!
Rachel Ouellette
I have the ebook and am reading it. I have not yet received the hard copy. So far the information is great.
I TOO ALREADY BOUGHT THE BOOK!
David,
I did send a donation, received the e-book and found the content to be different from what I expected, based on your descriptions. I unsubscribed and wonder why I am still receiving mail from you. Please remove my name from your list.
Guy
Julie
David, I have the book. I bought it the first time I received the information. You continue to send emails as to why I haven’t bought the book. I have. So not quite sure what the problem is.
Julie
Will
Hey, David,
I was one of the first to download via Facebook and even emailed to say the donation link for Mac users was whack. Gauging by these replies, it seems a lot of downloads slipped through the cracks. Definitely worth following up. Looks like your marketing funnel has a leak 🙁
Vicki
I did download it. And look forward to puting it to use in the future.
