		<description>Stu,

You are a kind and generous soul. I want to thank you for your kind consideration. I sent you a message by reply to Faye. The substance of the note is too personal to comment here. Please confirm that you have received it with a simple nod back.

Yours,

Art</description>

		<description>Linda,

Thanks for your entry - I think everyone struggles with finding happiness within themselves, not items or other people. 

Your goals are very worth while :)

All the best with your entry,

Your story inspires me. Action says it all. 

I began preparing my video and assembling testimonials to apply for your wonderful contest... but my coach said that I have to have a foundation before I develop my affiliates. Better right now for me to focus than to disperse my energy. 

So I will not submit this year. I regret I won&#039;&#039;t see you this time around. 

AND... just preparing my presentation and hearing people&#039;s testimonials about me was worth the adventure. 

thanks</description>

		<description>My husband asked me to follow-up on his email earlier this week. I hope it&#039;s not too late. If it is, it&#039;s my fault and not his.

He told me he really wanted to go to this conference because he would be able to meet others that are trying to do the same thing he is (he said &quot;more successfully&quot; though). He has been working hard for the last couple of months, staying up late and getting up early, studying and learning new things. I&#039;m sure everyone falls into that category. He&#039;s doing all of this for our family. We have four children, one whom just started college. 

If you&#039;re looking for reasons to give Joe a pass, I would say this:
* He really wants to succeed at this. he tells me ideas he has and projects he&#039;s working on. he&#039;s really motivated.
* He&#039;s excited about what the conference is about, especially since it&#039;s only two hours away from our house.
* I know he&#039;s my husband, so I&#039;m suppose to say this, but he&#039;s smart. He will take what he learns and put it to good use. He lives, eats, and breathes this. He really wants to be successful at it.
* By spending a few days around all of this will, hopefully, after a week or so, let him spend more time with me and the kids. I know he will dig in after he gets back, but I hope he will see some success and not have to work so hard.
* And last, I read what he said about giving back. He really means it. He&#039;s a very giving person. He&#039;s told what he wants to do with some of the money after we pay off our bills and catch our savings up. He would be embarrassed if I said them here, but he will give back.
* One more reason is that he already has a plan (a commitment) he&#039;s made on how he&#039;s going to use the extra income. So before any money begins coming in, he&#039;s already decided how it&#039;s going to be used. And before this contest ever came up (months before), he&#039;s already committed to giving back to others.

I hope you will consider giving my husband a free ticket to the conference.</description>

		<description>Hi Stu-
I have been following this contest for the last week and wondering if I should enter it. I didn&#039;t know if the affiliate incubator could help me in my quest. After further research, I believe it can, and so I have decided to go for it and share my story. I know it ends today, so I don&#039;t know if I am even entering on time!

Here is the shortest version of my story that I can manage! I have a love affair with writing, so please forgive me if I go too far! 

For the last year and a half, I have been studying a concept that came to me at a time in my life when I was really seeking my purpose and trying to figure out what I should be when I grow up (I am currently 36 years young). 

I seriously looked at myself in the mirror one day and said, what are you going to be when you grow up? Don&#039;t get me wrong, the life I had already created was good, and there were hints of the real me scattered throughout it. But it just didn&#039;t quite feel like I was reaching my fullest potential. 

I kept finding myself unable to be fully confident in the things I was doing and feeling like a bit of an imposter at times. Upon further investigation, I came to realize that I cared so much about what others thought of me and about the &#039;competition&#039; I had going with my fellow humans, that I had built the life that I thought would be impressive to others rather than the life that I was really meant for! 

I have a background as a martial arts instructor and consequently a non-degree therapist, master motivator, coach, and shoulder to cry on. The more attention I gave to my own problem, the more I saw it in many of my students and others who came to me for advice and help. I realized that so many people have done and continue to do the very same thing that I was doing--what I now call running in the &#039;human race&#039; and living a designer life that looks nice but doesn&#039;t feel right. 

So, I set out to discover why this was and what could be done to change it. 

What came to me during this time of learning and inspiration was what I call the &quot;Power in We.&quot;  It is a paradigm/concept that is life changing in terms of showing people how to empower themselves with the truth to be able to live the life they are meant for instead of the life that they think looks good to everyone else! It teaches people how to be themselves, how to find and live their true purpose, and how to have the courage and confidence to do these things---all with one simple yet profound word--&quot;we&quot;. 

So, I am officially entering the contest because now it is my dream, and I believe my life&#039;s purpose, to share this concept with others. I have a web site, a &quot;we-course&quot; (email coaching course), and a book started! 

I think the internet is a a great way to reach a lot of people--which is what I need to do, and in studying your business Stu, I think you have a winning method of reaching a lot of people with the internet. I would love share the knowledge you and your partners have to offer! I think that your affiliate incubator would go along way in helping me with the know-how I need to help many people change their lives forever!

Thank you for listening and for your motivational emails!

		<description>Dear Stu, 

My friend Constance Zacharias told me about your contest and gave me the link. Thank you for sharing your story. What really impressed me is the good you are doing for others. God bless you and your family. 

Constance is a lady with a big heart. She has a dream. Like you over the years she has been frustrated because she too has an enormous desire to learn but doesn&#039;t have the money to invest in herself or her business. She is a wife and mother. The family needs have come first. Constance has a wonderful family that believe in her and are a great support. She tries her hardest to learn all she can and to be where she can learn. The biggest set back is money. 

Constance is an inspiration. She is one who has a dream and goes after it no matter how long it will take to achieve it. She is also a natural at passing along to others what she has learned. I believe she will make a great teacher or personal guide because she has helped me. Constance has a way of showing you how to do what you need to do to get to where you want to go in your business. She just needs more training and she can&#039;t afford it. I know she will never give up her dream and I am grateful to her for that. 

I believe that Constance should win a ticket to your Affiliate Incubator seminar because you will not only be helping her achieve her dream, but all the people she will be helping achieve theirs.  

Thank you for make this opportunity possible. God bless you.
