Two lucky people will win a free copy of Paid to Exist. To enter the contest answer these two questions in the comments below:
- What did you feel was the most powerful part of this road map?
- In what way would you benefit most from Paid to Exist?
The winners will be announced in the next 48 hours based on the most compelling response. Good luck!

1. The most important part of this roadmap is it gave me more confidence that the transition I am making (see below) is the right thing! I know you said, ‘don’t quit your day job yet’, but I made this decision months ago. I believe your whole roadmap would be an integral part in helping me succeed because I am ALL IN! Plus I got goosebumps! wihoo!
2. The way ‘Paid To Exist’ would benefit me is it couldn’t have come at a better time because I am retiring from my current career as a salon owner and stylist on September 30th in order to put all my energy into my true passion, my online business. I am going to give it my best shot and I know I can use help! I’m excited and nervous at the same time but I have to listen to my body and Just Do It!
Thanks!
I almost closed the window on your video. It looked so much like the other “come-on” landing pages I’ve been directed to in my search for guidance.
I took a chance and clicked “play”. The amount and quality of the information you conveyed “blew me away”. What’s more you gave it away for free!
Your steps are simple and your advice straight to the point. I imagine what you have to offer after enrollment must be truely awesome!
I thought your content was absolutely right on target for me as I am just beginning to explore a new career in sales as well as blogging. It is well-thought out and sets up a plan.
Just one suggestion: can you make it sound less like a lecture? You have some really good content, but how about sound as excited as your message really is?
1. The most powerful part for me, was month 2, building relationships with strategic partners and create a traffic, but also at the beginning when you said you have to be all in and make a real commitment; this is something I need to remember, because fear of failing is still holding me back from taking my projects seriously.
2.I could benefit from it because here where I live (Italy) I cannot find much about these topics, I feel ther’s not much interest around me about trying to live the life we want, so I find it really interesting and helpful to read the contents on your website everytime.
1. What did you feel was the most powerful part of this road map?
The single most powerful – I think for me it’s a content strategy. Strategy is the way to the set target and that lays the plan/foundation for the dream to become real.
2. In what way would you benefit most from Paid to Exist?
Perhaps the courage to take a step i’ve been afraid of taking for a long time. The older I get the more conformist I become.
This is really an empowering piece!
1. The most powerful part of this road map, to me, is gaining the knowledge that it can be done. I can live for my passion and not just wish for it!
2. I think the way I would benefit most from “Paid to Exist” would be the ability to live and teach by example, what I’ve wanted all my life; to live a life that is meaningful to me!
I realize this is past the open enrollment deadline, but wanted to post a comment anyway. If there’s a category for a rookie rookie, that would be me! At 59, and retired, I have just begun to venture into the territory of internet business. Lots of terms and acronyms that are Greek to me. My biggest obstacle is believing it’s possible. John, you have been a tremendous encouragement. Still not sure where to start, although thought it might be fun to chronicle my rookie journey beginning an internet business. Again, thanks for your encouragement.
Loved it! I am concentrating on those things for the last few years now and I finally feel that it might be time to get into gear and shift some levers to DO it.
1. The most powerful part: The core need identification, because I still cannot grasp that and I’d really, really love to understand that core need in other people.
2. Benefit: I want to grasp that concept and use it for my benefit and for others as well. I want to bring that idea into Germany as I am from there and I want to “translate” that for the people here so they also can get the best out of everything in their lives. I am most excited about being happy with what one’s doing and I am going to use the knowledge I can the from you to be even more happy and satisfied at work and with the things I am doing. It would be wonderful to use the concept here in Germany and make it work so it would be clear that it is a concept for everyone on the planet.
For me, the most powerful part is the “First $100.” Its the part of building my own business that feels like the greatest hurdle, its the area around which I most question myself and the possibility of my business being successful. The strategy you have suggested is so clear and factual, it almost feel like making money is an obvious result. And that feels good:)
