Congratulations to the winners! I have learnt so much from everyone who put their hearts on their sleeves and put themselves forward. It's so wonderful to see so many people aching to make their mark on the world, and willing to support others on the same path. Wow :)

Holy crap ... thank you. I'm pretty blown away at this point.

Thank you to Jonathan and crew, congrats to the other winners, and a BIG thank you to everyone who commented and entered the contest. I won't pretend that we deserved this any more than the rest of you.

All I can promise is that we will give it our 110% ... won't go to wasted efforts.

Much love to you all, and good luck!

I'm curious what the criteria are for the selection process, for future possibilities.

wow, congratulations to the winners! hope you put this opportunity to good use! I would take action on it 200%, since its the main problem I have in my life: discover my passion and make a living on it. Wish I got that opportunity aswell.. :) Will keep working for it though, so that projects I have in mind for me and the world can finally be doable!

Big well done to the three winners! I've been checking this post every hour or so since I entered, waiting for the big announcement, and I admit I'm more than a tad disappointed not to see my name in that list. However, I knew the competition was very tough, and I'm really happy for the three who did get chosen :)

How to Transform the World in One day.

Just made my first video ever, created a youtube account, and uploaded it (gulp!). I'm thrilled to have gone that far outside my comfort zone--you've already given me a tremendous gift by inspiring me to do that. Thank you, Jonathan, for your energy, your passion, your generosity, your audacious belief that people can live the lives of their dreams, and your commitment to helping them do it.

To keep it short and sweet - I'm halfway there and need a final push to get me over the hump. Of my own volition, I quit my cushy corporate job 1.5 years ago with a game plan for transition, next steps laid out...the whole nine yards. Unfortunately, I had an unexpected serious personal medical matter arise within days of leaving my position and life got put on hold for a bit, priorities revisited and readjusted as a result, which resulted in me deeming aforementioned plan moot. These days I'm stuck in the middle, having used up valuable savings to deal with medical matters and straying from my dream lifestyle (work & passion balanced with family, friends and personal exploration) in order to pay bills. I firmly believe in the power of freeing oneself from the chains of the traditional workplace and structure. But I know I have more left to do, and I believe Trailblazer would be a great resource to help me accomplish the last leg in my journey toward freedom. Even now, somewhere in between, I am extremely more content with my life, no longer feeling trapped by my career and 100% confident in the decision I made to move on. For anyone still hesitating to pull the trigger, I can vouch that it has been the most liberating experience of my life. GO FOR IT!

I have had a long time dream to combine my design talents and skills with my passion for the environment, holistic health, and spirituality. I’ve always wanted to find a way to combine all of these passions into something to make a living out of, but never knew how. Now I am also considering a possible new direction as a result of an accident I was in, because I believe there may be a need for it in the world. This is the result of years of having to try to find a way to help myself because I was unable to get any outside help. While having to do my own research, I saw that there really wasn’t much out there in the world and there is bound to be other people who could benefit from all the work I’ve had to do to help myself. I’m not sure if this is who I am, but it seems that it’s who I’ve had to become. So I could definitely use some help to determine how I could best serve the world because at the end of it all, that is quite simply why I am on this planet. I have been given another chance to do something to make a difference, but I need help figuring out how I can best serve the world with the gifts I have. Just by simply watching one of your videos, Jonathan, it spurred another idea. I don’t know how to make my dreams come true, but if just one you’re your videos can cause a spark, I can only imagine what your whole program can do. Ultimately, I want to make a difference, I just don’t know where to go from here. I believe Trailblazers can help me to determine how I can apply my talents and passions into a form that will benefit others. I also believe it can help me determine how to get more clear about what direction to go in, and whether this new path is the way to go. It would be awesome if you could help me package this so I can turn this into a business.

No matter what happens though, everyone here has touched my heart and we all have similar desires, so I send blessings that you may all succeed. Thank you for the opportunity to apply! P.S. Rudesade, I don’t know if you work for Trailblazer or not, but I truly appreciate all of advice and links you’ve been providing!

There have been some brilliant comments so far. There are lots of truly inspiring people right here.

Here's my shot:

I was checking the entries and found that everyone over here are inspired by your trailblazer and want to do something that can put them on their own path. There is still a million dollar question where to start, and this trailblazer would definitely help something to offer to world with core message. Here is the short story about a kid, it's funny, but it would blow your mind, to do something you love.

One of my acquaintance are planning for short vacation to go on Safari where they told their 4 year kid that you will get chance to sit on "Elephant or Camel" . The kid thought for a while and said " I want to sit on Lion" Everyone laughed, at this impossible task. Well then some one suggested to take him to Circus Lion. Bingo! The mother said yes, " That's POSSIBLE, we can look for it"

The bottom line is to just go for it. I am going to launch my website shortly, I don't know how to bring traffic, I am not even thinking of it now , but I know for sure there are people looking for you. Jonathan is right, offer value, we can think this way, if I want to buy some product or service why would I do it?

Heads UP!

Amazing isn't it when you can sort everyone elses life out but not your own! My friends laugh at my ability to intuitively guide their burgening careers, yet mine, stays...well...non-existent. I've been a graphic designer, web designer, landscape architect, upholsterer, illustrator, interior designer...you get the picture!
i have created a very sizeable pin board covered in ideas, passive incomes, dream jobs, dream courses and more. Where to start?

i dream of a career that exhibits credibility, talent and of course a good amount of financial success...all this plus freedom. id like the freedom to travel, to look after my children as much as possible and to work my own hours! greedy huh!!
For me working is always more fun when you have someone to bounce ideas from.
I would definitely like to have a mentor who could give the wisdom and confidence to tie it all together. Thats why im attracted to working with trailblazers, im hoping to reach my full potential. well at least try...

So here I go with my shot

I am an IT pro, a blogger and a startup volunteer. I have been working quite hard with a bunch crazy startups to help tem achieve what they are worth. While doing all this I realize simple things One I need to start on my own and that some day will never come. Two I would be able to inspire them well by actually applying it rather than just assisting them with words.. I wanna lead by example... So summing up its not just about me but its even about a small little tribe that I support ... Short Sweet Simple (And yet impactful)

Hope you find this task inspiring enough.

I'm committed to playing this full out, doing things that scare me, like posting this video. Thanks to all of you for sharing your stories. You are an inspiration, whether I'm selected to join the group or not. Best wishes to you all, that you find your way forward.

I almost decided not to submit this.

Why would I neglect this possibly bliss?

Because of the limits that have been conditioned within me.

I'm done with the man-made limits created for me.

The only limits that exist for me are the limits God has for me.

And even those aren't limits, those are just directions for me.

Directions to repurpose, shift, and get back in line.

My future is for me to define.

I am done with the hesitations instilled within me.

But it's not about me, you see.

It's about the community you've made.

The impact you crafted for those who wish make a life trade.

I have made a decision to break free of these limits for once and for all.

I'd love for trailblazer to be involved with my call.

I have always been an artist at heart but I only allowed myself to start becoming one recently. I took a few detours and I learned a lot, but I did get a bit side-tracked. I sketch on a variety of subjects - I do portraits and I am creating my own Tarot deck - I have six cards so far. I have also started sculpting with polymer clay and I would like to paint (I arranged a lesson that I haven't been able to attend due to our car being broken down for the seventh week in a row). I use art as a means of communication and expression and everything I have done has come across loud and clear! I have done (and am still doing) many free projects and projects based on resource exchange. Even though I am struggling, I will not insist on money, especially if people don't have it; I try to encourage them to develop their skills in exchange for mine. When my art career takes off, I will have more opportunities to encourage development in others. Part of this development is healing, I have studied holistic massage and am always learning about nutrition and dream symbols; ultimately I want to bring together all these interests to provide art therapy and to help build self-sustaining communities. One of my detours was in varsity, where I skipped from psychology to politics to philosophy - all with a view to identifying issues within people, societies and mentalities and developing solutions. Along my journey I realised that art is a powerful purveyor of truth and can be used even by those who would never think of themselves as artists. It does not have the limits of a formal or even a natural language and it gets the message across instantaneously. Art also provides a much better release than narcotics, adultery or suicide - all of which I have witnessed in my life. Art is my sanctuary and all I want to do is share it with those who would enter.

I believe Trailblazer is more about freeing minds than it is about creating a business. Yes the business IS a way to get out of a crappy job and enjoy life more, but if the mind is not free, if the mind does not understand why it takes effort and why it worth to try it, there is no way a business could work.

I think I'm ready, after a long time of soul searching and a failed business. I understand it's not about magic bullets or guru products, it's about offering value to your audience. Yes I'm still learning the ropes but I could learn faster, now more than ever, because my mind is finally free of that useless cheap tricks and quickfire methods.

Now it's the time to take this one step forward, and start freeing the minds of more and more people. Create more roads where people can walk later. I will succeed in implementing Trailblazer and the reward, beyond freedom, will be to inspire someone else to take the road and attain their freedom, one single persona at a time.

Trailblazer's commitment to originality and authenticity stand out for me. As artists of authenticity at heart, equipped with the innate ability to create our own paths; we are able to paint a reality we want to live for; yet not everyone does.

The destructive nature of the neurotic path does not inspire nor create (well, it does create one thing: frustration). For some reason so many of us can get “stuck” there, existing in a grey groundhog day of normality. Since when did normal become something to aspire to?

I would like to make available, the many ways people have shown me to get “unstuck’. A website that provides useful techniques and tools plus essential community support for people who want to discover and harness the infinite capacity of their own authentic personality.

Trailblazer represents an opportunity to link up, learn and share with other authentically-minded creative people who are hell-bent on going with their uncommon sense, creating a wave of personal and professional liberation in the process.

To bottle that collective certainty in living from your core and to share it with others who want to do the same; that would be awesome.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi, Thanks for this kind opportunity. Trailblazer can help me create a thriving business because of you and the way you teach. There are others offering similar kind of training but I just don't hear there message or what needs to be done, as well as I hear it from you. I have used other products of yours to help me idenetify my passions and to get clear on my message to the world and with your help I have writen my program, I just need to go live. The whole internet thing isn't my strong point but I can do it, I just need to be able to ask a few questions along the way, and I need to be able to hear the answers, so that I can implement what I am learning. For me it's not so much, create an income to quit your job in 6 months, I already quit!!! I had the most awful egomaniac boss in the world. But there is another 6 month deadline, my first baby arrives, and it's my dream to be a full time mum, so i gotta get this train out the station and trailblazer is my ticket, conductor and fastline track to help me do so.

With Love and Best Wishes
