Hi Eben,

I was completely blown away your interview. I am working for this wonderful guy who not only introduced me to online marketing but also helped me regain my belief in people. His guidance has led me to your site, or more specifically "Ignition".

You see, for years I went into a journey of seeking. Seeking for the true answers; of knowing and understanding how it is to truly live life, how to be happy and full-filled. And how to be successful inside and out. I had my own share of mistakes, lessons I needed to learn out of events that sometimes even brought me tragedy.

But seeing and knowing that more and more people are actually coming out with this new kind of perspective or should I say "consciousness" is very much encouraging and inspiring. Yes, the world needs some kind of change. We all need to learn how to help one another in the process of our trying to reach our dreams. We need this collective consciousness of believing in people again to able to uplift the quality of lives around the world.

I think ignition is far more than a "online marketing program". It is also a tool to affect this change.

Cheers to your hard work!!!
And thank you for sharing that.

Really good learning here, Ijust want to learn more from you.

Thanks


What a great interview.

You should add "http://" before www link on Youtube version of this video!

Your stuff great! Thank you!


Hey there,

I have to say that this is one of the best interviews I've ever watched. I've learned a lot and I even took a bunch of notes.

I'm really looking forwarding on getting this program and checking out all the cool content you will be sharing.

Terrific! Underlying message - help others be successful - results and impact - of course is critical - as is the integrity in 'how' results were created and how the individual "shows-up". The old way is self serving, what I term "waxy" . True success is creating success through people versus at the expense of people...

Eben,

Thanks for this video. I really enjoyed learning about the "inevitability" mindset and about the "productivity pyramid." I can see the inevitability mindset helping me immediately in my quest to overcome my physical disability, and the productivity pyramid has got me thinking about my life in a new direction. My day couldn't have gotten much better than this! Thanks again,
Barb


WOW!... BOTH of you are people of such High caliber. Your mindset is unlike ANYONE I work with or know in my personal life. I'm only 21, but I've been through a LOT and the way I think is a combination of my experiences, my failures, my successes and the present. Most importantly ACTION. Nothing happens or changes unless you act. I wish more people had an entrepreneurial mindset and thought like "a Deal Maker," as Timothy Ferriss explains in his book, The 4 Hour Work Week - my favorite book.

I always wanted to be that Lamborghini driving 21 yr old lol. Lamborghini Meurcialago lp640 all black, is my favorite car.

this book hooked me on the FIRST paragraph. lol

But like you said guys, it's really not about the money. The money will always be there...but material things are not fulfilling...or that excitement does not last long at all.

You mentioned something Eben, in this interview. You said..."I like working with Ferrari minds." I find it funny because my old Amway Mentor, back in the day, (who is a VERY good friend of mine til this day) ALWAYS wanted his red Ferrari. He still swears to this day that Amway is the way and he's spent the past 10 years trying to build his business. His mindset and his actions are unreal. I mean this guy is a go getter and then some.

He was very very upset with me when I left Amway and came online. I tried to explain to him why and my motives...still it's hard for him to accept that anyone can make a living online for long term. Maybe time will change his views.

I'm super stoked to hit the west coast at the end of April for Frank Kerns Seminar in San Diego. It'll be my FIRST internet Marketing Seminar ever. It's going to be a great feeling to actually meet you guys and really connect with people.

I'm sure you'll have many people in your company to read all of those 340+ comments about the free scholarships your giving away. I must say lol..thats a heck of a lot of people that are looking for guidance and help from you Eben. I myself left my comment and my story. I feel it would be even MORE of a challenge if I didn't win. I like challenges and I've already made the decision years back that I will be my own person in this world and have my own companies and business partners like you Eben. And many others.

I think what we entrepreneurs do is unreal. I also think that EVERYONE could do what they want to do in life if they had the right attitude and the mindset and thinking and communication skills that we share. Being broke is a decision in a lot of cases. Many people settle with the cards they've been dealt in life. And it's kind of sad to see someone who is just plain brilliant at what they love...but they're STUCK where they're at because they know no better. Or lack the motivation and never take action to change their situation.

Relationships are HUGE in this line of work. Entrepreneurship, deal making, business partners, Joint Ventures, Marketing,....all of this involves relationships and building truthful connections with people. People who make things happen in this world and aren't afraid to step up and give their piece of mind. People who aren't afraid to fail time and time and time again.

There's NO way anyone can appreciate all the money and luxuries life has to offer if they didn't fail a bunch of times and learn from their failures. I agree with what you said though Eben, Failure is just a word we created. It's an idea of when something DOESN'T work. We call it failing.

But it's not failing...that "thing" or that idea or what have you..just didn't work. JUST because it didn't work doesn't mean for a SECOND that you can't figure it out another way or try again and again until you succeed.

I'll stop rambling on and on lol... I don’t know why but my mind was controlling my fingers and I just kept typing lol.

This interview is extremely powerful and it's awesome to listen to your thoughts and experiences throughout your life Eben. You quit school and dropped out of college....as a teen you wanted your own business.

When someone stretches out away from "what you're supposed to do" and finds their own way because they want to be free and they want to create something bigger than themselves....I admire that to no end.

I don’t know WHAT that trait is called lol...you could call it being an entrepreneur. But it's more than just that. It takes a LOT for someone to make sacrifices in their life and break free from their comfort zone... ESPECIALLY at such a young age. Sometimes you feel like the world is against you and everyone else is doing "what they were told to do" and telling you that what you're doing is wrong...or won't work, because they don't understand it.

I admire you Eben, and respect you and what you stand for beyond any kind of boss...or leader...or role model. You represent success and being rich/wealthy in such a way that not only is material...

..but it starts from within. It comes from inside of us and it’s our job to share the same wealth we posses.

You do an unbelievable job of exactly that.

- you rock :o)



Eben & Drew,

Great interview and information.Your holistic approach to business is helping me understand what changes I need to go through in order to be successful.
We can all get caught up in the drudgery of business, but as we step away and look at what are we really trying to accomplish and look at the big picture suddenly it can make more sense and our purpose can become more directed and focused. Wow! Keep up the good work and insights.
Bob K.


Thanks to all the good folks who brought this production to light.
This was a really nice interview that without a doubt will have you shutting down your backround thoughts in no time.
If your looking at this while your listening to these two, then go back to the video and if you must, close your eyes.
Thanks again.

Very interesting interview. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Hello Eben,

One of my best friends and mentors in life once taught me...on the subject of building wealth...Our greatest wealth is our spiritual, mental and physical wellbeing. Awesome pearl from Rex. You truly seem to represent Kerns " Hometown Boy Makes Good". Congratulations. On a side note---I also enjoyed the absynth interview with Frank. Thanks for sharing from the heart.

Make Ignition(TM) Happen!


Thank you, for a great interview.
I learned along time ago, if a person tells me their product is not for me, that may be so, but the person is!
It takes a gem of a person to do that, since most salesman are taught opposite.
While its true, that I need help,I can think of nothing more rewarding to take a friend , who is struggling, and help to success also. Here's hoping the best!


Thanks for sharing this informative interview with us. I am going to use these techniques in my business!


Hey Eben, great interview made me realize there isn't a quickfix at all. It will take time to develop and interate all the different pieces. But then again.. it's all about the journey.

Thank you


Hi Eben,

Thank you for sharing the video. I have seen it already for about 3 months or more ago from you tube. The reptation makes me deep understanding of which skills I need to learn to succeed, defination of success, important of learning human psychology, inevitability thinking and keys to grow a business.

To conclude the 5 skills (Language, Communication, Marketing, Sales and Public Speaking to succeed, I would rather say that I need to learn “Communication” from basic to advanced level. That’s why I am now working on my German everyday to be able to communicate effectively. I will practise more to become a good speaker.

I love your explination of difference between money and weath. Wealth is having knowledge, system, assets and understanding to creat value to others. And money is just paper which pretends to have value. I would like to learn more how I can create more value to others.

It is interesting to learn inevitability thinking to creat the conditions to make the things happened rather than creating the things directly.

I have learnt that “I” am the centeral part of my business, where I need to work on, to creat and to lead a business successful. I should be an expert in time management and organise myself more effectively. I had insight that I need to work on my market and marketing by looking for the prospects, who are looking for me and using the right combination of marketing methods such as public relation, advertising. I should also creat an environment to attract and maintain stars, where they can make decisions, contribution and impact to the company. Lastly, I should creat a system, where my skilled and unskilled employees get fit in. I must decide which system will pass well with my type of business.

The video is a very good reflection on my business and my situation right now. I am excited to experience more from your Ignition program.

Happy Ostern!

Timeless interview Eben. It makes me wish I were one year more advanced to take advantage of Altitude but if Ignition gets me down the track as fast as I think it can I might just start the exponential success march ahead of schedule. Plotting the ground course to eliminate all but the plans to create the inevitable is one of the greatest ideas I have ever encountered. The more I research/study/learn this
disipline called Marketing
the greater the respect I have for the mentors I only been able to find through webinars ect. Live is going to be a whole other level. Thanks for the insight and please remember to turn my Ignition switch. More the Shelby Cobra than Ferrari myself. Each perform equally well if you pick the right track to race on. Thanks again. Neil


Thank you Eben

for this exceptional interview.

Rarely did I find any marketers or entrepreneurs who really know their stuff AND have such deep, profound things to say.

Yes, I think you are quite exceptional.

Thanks

there's a lot of value and great concepts in this.

what i personally would like to hear are eben's thoughts on the current financial crisis, maybe how to turn this situation "in your own favour".



Wow. Great interview. It’s not short, but also a goldmine of information. I’ll strip it down to its bare essentials: the five skills of success, Eben’s background, learning about people, earning what you spend, “make it happen,” fail forward, inevitability thinking, and the Get Altitude program and its 5 keys to growing business.


Hi Eben ,
Thanks for the video .
The lessons are important to know how to start a business , what you need to know about this .
This is why I didn\t have a business , yet . Because I realise that I have to learn first , then when I shall feel I am on the right way with all infrmation all shall be OK.The mentor from where can learn is important too .And I can tell you , this is an easy line because usually I am that one that go toward people ...So ,this is another important thing , if all works easier in a connection , this is a signal ,that is a shift ,an important shift and the right way .I don\t know haw far I can go with your program ,but I thank you for this open line with you and for all I have learn from you . It is a pleasure to work with you but I have to excuse for my level ,not that spiritual ,the other one .From a spiritual point of view ,I shall send you my gratitude to be here at your website .
I wish you an interesting week and to have a wonderful Spring ..
I send you my kind regards and light!

This is incredible value for free. I tell everyone I work with to watch Eben Pagan's videos and read his content.

I have not spent a dime on his programs to-date (but I will eventually) and I have received more value than many paid programs and trainings.

He sets the example of how to build trust and long term relationships with customers. My team models his style very closely and we are already reaping the rewards.

thanks again Eben. Great work


This have been one of mr pegan's best videos YET! I can't hardly wait for the initial ignition training. Please keep me informed!
Thanks,
Nathaniel


Hi Eben

I want to thank you for posting this video, i have watched it over 10 times and cannot explain the amount of value and awareness you have given me. 2 years in kindergarten...haha NOT. I pity the people who thought different of you for being held back...you are a PERFECT example of using the old saying, "a set back is a set up for a come back!

God Bless


Eben,

Many thanks for another Awesome interview. Every time I watch one of your presentations I learn something new. All of your very hard work and study are helping many, many people on to better lives and businesses.
Thanks again.
Kurt


I think this interview is AMAZING, I would love to see your "Psychology of Money" Program comes out.


This was an incredible interview.

I've watched it twice and I will watch it again. I love the stories, the inspiration and the information.

Really excellent.

Thank you so much for sharing this!

This is by far the most impressive business interview I have ever seen.

Evan Pagen's Mastermind alliance has really shifted my beliefs about business and life. From the time I started by Double Your Dating products in 2005 to now Evan is the most trusted name I have ever encountered.

I would love to shake his hand some day.

Fabulous work guys,

I'll keep it short. Each and every exposure to you has been very impressive. If I were to attempt to capture and describe your 'gift,' I would summarize it to be that of an 'elegance of competency.' Your knowledge, both academic and experiencial, is readily available to you [revealing an extraordinary measure of familiarity.] You are likewise very effective in the conveyance of that knowledge, including insights that you have gleaned along your very active, high-yield journey of learning.

Thank you for choosing to share of yourself and of others in your sphere of influence. It is much appreciated.

This video? Outstanding, as always.


Hi Eben

Thank you so much for this informative, motivating and extremely useful video. I am in your Ignition class and am really looking forward to learning from you.
I think I learned more from you in this interview than I learned in Grad School!
