“Thanks for Making the World More of the Place I Want to Live”

(I apologize for the delay my Intent.com friends, this was originally from March 27, 2009) What a fun week and launch on Tuesday! It was just plain fun, both to create and share it, and because it resonated with people. Here are some stats about the launch webinar (thank you again Yanik Silver!)… …..Registrants for the March 17 PebbleStorm webinar: 1300 …..Number of people who joined live on it: 350 …..Players in the PebbleStorm “Come Play With Me” game: 15 (sold out) …..Amount of money spent on marketing: $0 …..Receiving messages like these: “Thanks for making the world more of the place I want to live”, “Discovering you and your work through Yanik has been a real turning point for me and I will forever be grateful to both of you“, and “It was fabulous and I’m buzzing with all the possibilities“: PRICELESS So why should you care? Because my mission is to help you do exactly this! I’m practicing my own principles, then distilling them for you so that you can join me. Priceless Gratification What does ‘make money through enjoyment’ mean? It means you can create a business that makes you money, and has a big, positive impact on people’s lives and the world (in fact, the better/bigger the impact, the better the buiness will do). Personally, here’s an example of priceless gratification from Sarah Levinson, who wrote “You know what happened after listening to this webinar?

I was able to sleep betterrn I began to feel much happier about my life in general, and about my original goals for work and my purpose in life. The next day at work I applied the principle of enjoyment. IT WORKED!” [Aaron: I'll post her example in a separate post on applying enjoyment]

And I make money from this, too? Yay!! Slides (you can click through them, no audio): For a long time, when people asked “how do I get started with you and PebbleStorm?”, I didn’t have an answer! As part of the launch, I created a page that summarizes how people can do something with PebbleStorm: www.PebbleStorm.com/Get-Started [UPDATE 6/28/09: By the way, the best link to find out how to get started with PebbleStorm is now www.PebbleStorm.com/UniqueGenius ] Interested in online self-study courses? I had requests from people who can’t join now, but would at least like to sign up for the game but as a self-study version, in which you can go through the game and courses on your own. I’m not sure when I’ll create it, but it will be in months, not weeks or years. If you’d like to be a beta player to help me test it before public release, write me at aaron at pebblestorm dot com. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! No one can do it alone, and I have my own support groups of people who are enormous, no, GINORMOUS helps in shaping PebbleStorm. First, thank you Yanik Silver, who catalyzed this launch, shared his wisdom in shaping it, and invited his own audience (the bulk of the 1300 registrants came from Yanik). A bunch of my friends sat on the phone or in my house for hours (which, by the way, was really fun, like a “work party”!) so we could create this together: Onna Young (ColdCalling2.com and Leaps And Bounds), Kim Santy (Soul Shui), Hong-Anh Ha, and Scott Krajca (Wide Awake Media Group). Several others shared extremely thoughtful feedback on the slides & program, like George Kao, Tiffany Hamilton and Erin-Marie Driscoll, or other kinds of last-minute support or practicing opportunities: Marni Battista, Danielle Townshend, Neil Patel and family o’ course! I’m equally as grateful to everyone else who shared thoughts, attended the webinar, asked questions on it, and sent emails and Facebook comments afterwards. Thank you for all the support, which will help all of us bring fun and play into work! Aaron Ross P.S. -You can easily find me/my info on Facebook, or connect through…
