(From David) Do you struggle with insomnia?<\/strong>
\nI’m personally taking on five clients who are having trouble sleeping for more than a month. This is so I can pass on to others how I healed myself from this scary and debilitating condition. Price will be no barrier for these five positions – you’ll pay whatever you can afford.<\/p>\n

Please email me directly at david (AT) getpaidforwhoyouare.com, telling me your current situation and 3 month goal that would light you up!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span>2. FEATURE: Should there be more to life than this?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I was sitting unhappily with the thoughts:<\/p>\n

\u201cMy life is not enough\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not enough\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere should be more to life than this\u201d<\/p>\n

More money. More partnership. More energy. More contribution. More success. More sex. More fulfilment.<\/p>\n

If I had more of those things, my life would surely be perfect.<\/p>\n

And then it started to dawn on me just a glimpse of the experiences that were actually available to me: right here, right now, this second.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I considered all the things I could do in my house in the next 5 minutes that might feel good or be fun. Then I thought of several things I could do within 5 minutes walk of my house that would be interesting. Then I thought of everything I could do within a 30 minutes drive or bus of my house \u2013 things that cost no money, or less than $5.<\/p>\n

Then I thought of all the people I could invite over, or go and visit within a 30 minute radius, and multiplied this number by the number of activities I could do, I had an extraordinary number of people\/activity combinations (e.g. Walk in the park with myself, make pancakes with Brenda). When I included phone calls as an activity, that included pretty much everyone I knew in the world.<\/p>\n

I then considered how many movies I could watch \u2013 which would transport me into other worlds. Or the number of day dreams I could have to create my own worlds. Or the number of books I could read to learn or feel.<\/p>\n

I considered the sunshine, the smoke of a log fire, the feel of rain on hot skin, the thrill of a volleyball game, calling to contribute to someone who\u2019s lonely \u2013 even when I am too, and the simple joy of peek-a-boo with a neighbor\u2019s child.<\/p>\n

Most of this not even requiring money.<\/p>\n

In any second we have an almost infinite number of experiences available to us \u2013 most of them not even requiring money.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s fascinating is that my mind is still able to hold the thought: \u201cThere should be more to life\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

And to actually believe it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere should be more to life\u201d. Do you agree? Or disagree?<\/p>\n

What, if anything, is shifting for you right now?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span>3. The Personal Touch<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Well – it’s been SO long since the last issue.<\/p>\n

I put my EVERYTHING into a book launch. What went well: raised $60,000 for Rainforest Foundation and One Laptop Per Child; self published a high quality book; raised profile and platform, including strong media mentions; contributed to thousands of lives; pioneered a new type of viral technique (with the google pin maps); developed loads of new content and product. What didn’t go well: Made a slight financial loss overall due to various reasons including investing $150,000 in the project to start with! And I burned myself out. But I’m glad I did it – I needed to get that out of my system. And it may ultimately make a profit in the looooong run.<\/p>\n

Now I’m in a quiet\/vacation mode waiting to see what energy arises next. What’s been coming through consistently is to help people cure their insomnia (and anxiety). I just took on one insomnia coaching client who is already having huge breakthroughs, and I’ve created 4 more coaching slots where I’ll take on people with serious insomnia for whatever they can afford. If this is you, just email me directly at david@getpaidforwhoyouare.com. I’d also appreciate you forwarding to any friends with insomnia, and inviting them to contact me.<\/p>\n

Love, David<\/p>\n
