Scholarship Winners Announced (& A Change Of Plan!)
This is incredible - over 450 scholarship entries for the IGNITION Scholarships that we're awarding.
After considering the situation carefully, I've decided on a bit of a "change of plan"...
Originally, I was going to give away 3 full scholarships. But after reading all of the heart-felt applications, I've decided to give away TEN scholarships instead!
It wasn't exactly "easy" to choose the winners, so I got the help and input of my team.
After considering all of the submissions, here are the 10 that I've chosen.
Congratulations to the winners!
10 Ignition Scholarship Winners...
John Roth: You're committed to LEARNING - and then to using your future success to help others in the world to get their basic food and shelter needs met. Thank you for your dedication to the "bigger picture" - and welcome to IGNITION!
Len Beherens: Len, I chose you because it's CLEAR to me that you're not only interested in teaching kids, but you're also interested in something more important: EVOLVING education. And I think that this could really make a difference to the world, and I'm looking forward to teaching YOU what I've learned about creating success in business - so you can build a successful business of your own - and then ultimate achieve your vision.
J. Bushnell: I just have to give you an "A+" for clearly seeing your future vision, setting a goal for yourself, and being totally committed. If all of us were this committed, we could create so much more success for ourselves and others. Great job!
Nandar from Germany: You've taken responsibility for yourself and your life, and pushed yourself further than most people will ever push themselves to create success. Your love of "the journey" - and even the failures - is an indicator to me that you'll IMPLEMENT what you learn in this program. And, of course, I admire your commitment to help others with your success. Nice work.
Barbara from New Hampshire: You're an inspiration for me - and for many others, I'm sure. Your unwillingness to give up on yourself - and your desire to create a business that teaches others how to communicate... and then to ultimately help others overcome physical challenges... is amazing.
Lam Su: Your quote "I didn't get to choose what I was, but now I do have choice on what I will become" is beautiful. I appreciate your TOTAL commitment to creating success for yourself - whether or not you win this scholarship.
Michael Chimalizeni: I really support your intention to teach others about business and help them grow as entrepreneurs in Zimbabwe. I want to encourage you to always keep your personal goals aligned with bigger goals of helping others!
Belinda Tuminski: I chose you because you want to help people take better care of themselves - and raise awareness that "healthcare" is actually "sickcare" - and that it sounds like you want to teach people that the answer is to take care of yourself and not get sick in the first place! Thank you for your intention. Use what you learn in IGNITION to help people take better care of themselves!
Judy Wright: After 25 years of helping others to strengthen their relationships, I think you've proven that you're committed to making something big happen! I also think your approach of doing ventures that will benefit all parties is an important element of success. Thanks for your commitment!
Jilian Spitzmiller: I also believe that documentaries are an incredible way to educate the world... and I love the fact that you've chosen a business that contributes to EVERYONE... not just you. You've shown commitment to aligning your personal interests and needs with helping the world, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the training you get inside of IGNITION!

Wow - such a generous giving back to the community Eben, I'm looking forward to ignition and perhaps one day I'll get the chance to work with you! I still am working on building the financial freedom project - and perhaps I'll meet you along the path.
Good luck with your launch, and keep up the great work.

What a wonderful and much needed positive and uplifting surprise. I was so depressed and dismayed after hearing from my publisher this afternoon that they were down 70% from last year and could not do any marketing. Now, I do not have to depend on anyone else to sell and market my message to a global audience. I will do it myself with the help of caring and mentoring of Eben and the organization of helpers he has.
Thank you so much for choosing me. Your investment of time and energy will provide countless families a richer and more loving life. I promise to pay it forward.

Hey Eben,
I thought it was really awesome of you to give away 10 scholarships. I read few of their stories all the winners deserve it especially the 21 yr old kid from Vietnam. That story really touched my heart!
And if you remember me from the scholarship application I would really appreciate your feedback on how close I was to winning the scholarship? Im ready for criticism ;)
Hit me back man!
