Get Booked To Book Others
FOR MY DEAREST FRIENDS
My Calendar is at the bottom of the page
ONLY FOR SAIA
HERE'S OUR SPECIAL OFFER FOR YOU
THIS OFFER WAS PUT INTO WORDS WITH THE HELP OF JOHN NEWLAND (Copy Writer And Active Member of Get Booked To Book Others. He will be on your team too if you accept this offer. John is one of our little “secret weapons”.
I sent John videos of the offer, and John wrote it up for us so Scott could polish it up, so that the offer part was very very clear. Clear enough for you to feel “stupid” lol if you don’t schedule a zoom or phone call with me right away to talk about this, before you say you can’t afford it.
So, how do you think I made it through all that:
* Lost my job, lost my entire profession as a social worker and grief counselor,
* Lost my studio as a result of COVID, Landlord harassment up to the point where I nearly got evicted.
* Landlord took me to court twice,
* Facebook Ads Account gets shut down twice during COVID just when I was so close to getting my offers out using facebook ads at the time for marketing since her studio got shut down, and,
* I had to enter into this whole new online world that I was not an expert in; and had to start all over again.
* All through the prime of COVID, when the fear was at its highest, still being harassed by my landlord forcing me to to go into a legal battle with them;
* Filed for bankruptcy April 4th, 2021 to save my place,
* Landlord continues to harass me after I filed for bankruptcy and takes me to court again to try to get her evicted;
* My grandmother who I was extremely close to suddenly falls ill and is in palliative care. My grandmother passes away May 28th, 2021; And my best girlfriend died on the same day suddenly.
* August 12, 2021, I have an eviction hearing with the Landlord Tenant Board, and Scott wins the case for me as I was incapable of representing myself because of my medically diagnosed anxiety condition,
* And as part of my past court cases, and the one that I'm waiting for to date, where Scott is going to represent me against my landlord in what is called a T2, and get a maximum of $30,000 for all the harassment that I have endured that wasn't even talked about in my story above as I didn't have time to add it all on this page.
* And the last straw ... my parents throw another crisis on me, and won't get into all the details of it here (long story).
Well it started off with Scott’s commitment to honoring his word, which he packaged into a program for me called Integrity Choices.
You don’t know about this program, because I’ve only ever offered this program to people individually – you won’t have seen anything about this program in terms of offers. I have personally delivered this program with Scott to around over 12 clients. (ie. Vadim and Liz, John - their stories are included below).
Scott was in tune with me. So I was never overextended always working at a pace I could maintain, never stressed out. Always productive, always moving forward. It's made such a major positive impact on my life to have that kind of support and accountability that I'm excited to share it with you FIRST.
And now for the first time, we are combining that program with our advanced expertise in video to guarantee your success.
If you haven't already noticed, the reason Scott has been using video for me since 2017, when he first created the 1111 Platform and all the other platforms, the studio, everything you have seen thus far, the reason you know me is because of video and the unique way we do it that isn't salesy.
What do I mean? We record everything, literally, everything!
Think about it …. Every conversation you've had with me or Scott, every conversation we have is on video, and it's always recorded. Always recorded!
Scott taught me how to video edit in Adobe Premiere Pro, how to do streaming broadcasts or even in OBS, you probably don't know that - And I've been doing that quietly in the background since 2017. I know how to do VIDEO. Scott knows how to do video. AND SO WILL YOU!
And now for the first time we’re combining that program, Integrity Choices and everything we do, Passion Projects, all the video stuff, we SWIM in video to guarantee your success!
And when I say “guarantee your success”, keep reading. The guarantee will blow you away, it will make you want to rob your own parents to get the money for the program, because you’ll know it’s impossible for your to lose your investment with us.
As you know, the first platforms Scott built for me were all based on video, multi camera live Facebook streaming in the studio Scott created for me in his living room, which is now ours.
As you can imagine, I learned from Scott, having already a counseling background, and having consultative counseling skills from all my years of experience being a professional grief counselor.
I learned not just how to interview, but mastered interviewing people, on camera, as if no one was watching. Remember we get to edit, and control what people see and watch, and what they don’t. I had to be live all the time, and bring out the very best for their marketing. This is going to be so much easier for you.
We will show you How to Get Anything You Want using our primary and most valuable resource, video. ANYTHING! USING VIDEO IN THE WAY WE USE VIDEO.
And let’s be frank, Scott is the expert and the genius mastermind when it comes to how to strategically edit which clips for what purposes when we're recording everything. SERIOUSLY, you need an ADHD genius mind to be able to be present to that much content every single day and know exactly what edits are going to turn into money.
This program is 6 months long. Each week, you'll have a Zoom meeting of up to no more than 90 minutes with Scott, (and I'm there with you, being your secretary, your administrative assistant – YOURS, NOT Scott's. I am there with you on the call as your personal assistant, notetaker, and partner, so you CAN be fully present with Scott). And again, as you know, everything's recorded, so you can review the conversation yourself later too if you want to. And just like how Scott treated me, is the same for you, YOU don't do anything I suggest if you don't feel you can take it on. The way Scott works with me is the way we're working with YOU, only, unlike you, I never had a notetaker. I only had Scott, And, you will have BOTH OF US, Scott and Myself!
Each week, you'll have a Zoom meeting of up to 90 minutes with Scott, where he'll help you remove what's blocking you from staying focused on what you've already declared in the previous session is what you want to be focused on.
During these weekly calls, you'll get crystal clear clarity on what you're going to be doing to feel truly satisfied at the end of your week.
Your confidence will build every single week. Then, you'll have a second meeting just with me, called an implementation session. These sessions are up to two hours long every week, for six months.
In fact, after we do deliver this offer to whoever the first four are who get it, those first four people are going to get a BONUS of an additional two-hour session with Scott which they could use either during the six months or in the six months after we complete our contract. Because the program is designed so you won’t need them.
We don't do it for you. We walk with you, getting you through what needs to be done and accomplished each week. And it's arranged around what you can actually do in the next week, based upon your already limited time and availability.
And remember Abraham's teaching. You don't need lots of time to make money. You need to be clear, focused and in vibrant vibrational alignment with what it is that you want, which right now, I understand you don't even know what that is. That's all part of the program, YOU WILL KNOW!
Because of the level of hands-on involvement with Scott and myself, we can only take on FOUR clients at a time. We’ve thought it out. It will be at least another 3 months before we can take on another group of 4. And I can promise you that the price for that NEXT group of 4 will be at least DOUBLE what the first group of 4 are paying.
So, if smashing, destroying and killing your blockers, and absolutely getting rid of finally everything that's blocking you in your brain, in your motivation, your procrastination, including what you think is procrastination and it isn't. Also including such low self-esteem, that you're a walking apology and you feel so much guilt. It’s just like your whole life is driven by guilt and obligation.
So, if getting rid of all that crap, and achieve real success, the kind of success that you actually can't even imagine.
This is the life I had in the past four years, although I was recently going through a temporary dark period where I am having a cash flow challenge, I know with certainty this offer is going to work just like every other offer I've presented that worked.
And for me, I just feel personally very connected to you, and I personally want you to be ONE of the first group of 4 people who gets to have this very special offer, with an exclusive guarantee, which I’ll talk about further below.
NOTE - For the first four selected participants, AND ONLY THESE FOUR, they're getting this guarantee because we understand that some of our friends, in fact, the people we're presenting this offer to first, it's not the smartest business decision, LOL. We're actually presenting this offer out to people who don't have the money and can't afford it because it just turns out they are our friends. So, for our friends, we're giving our friends this this guarantee.
First of all, remember, this program again is two meetings per week for six months, and the investment is only $5,000, and we're flexible on the payment terms. (We will work around your schedule).
OUR GUARANTEE TO YOU
At the end of the 6 months if you have not profited by minimum of $5,000, which is what you paid for the program, we will either continue to work with you until you get that success, or we will refund your investment.
It’s that simple. Guaranteed success in your business, and the ability to get anything and everything you want by using video.

Liz Chamberlain's Story:
"Before I met Scott and Sameena, I felt like I was treading water, barely able to keep my head above the surface. I was unhappy and scattered, torn between what I wanted and what I felt I should be doing - what I desired and deserved. I was being pulled in different directions by family, work, and even myself. I was an emotional wreck, pretending to be happy but privately crying every day. I was like a robot, floating through life on auto-pilot because there was no time to do anything that gave me joy. What I wanted wasn’t responsible, I told myself, it was frivolous, and I felt guilty just thinking about it.
To make matters worse, no matter how hard I tried, my business was getting me further and further in debt, causing me more stress and anxiety rather than helping me to feel fulfilled. I didn’t just feel like I failure, I WAS a failure. I was a disappointment and a burden to my family. A leech. I hated my life as it was. I despised my day job and felt undervalued and unappreciated both at work and at home. My only escape was art, and I couldn’t even enjoy that because it was putting my family in debt, forcing me to hide my spending on new art supplies out of guilt and embarrassment. I was a fake, and I was tired of pretending. My family argued all the time, and I yelled way to often. I didn’t appreciate what I had because I was so focused on the scarcity.
I said yes to everyone else’s needs, and no to my own, yet often felt that I had no integrity because I didn’t fulfill promises, or canceled plans with people because I had too much on my plate and couldn’t follow through on my commitments. My word had come to mean nothing, and I equated that to mean that I meant nothing. After all, if I am not even as good as my word, then what good am I? A failure. A liar. A disappointment. A fake. Hell, I didn’t trust myself - how could I expect anyone else to?
Who was I to dream? What right did I have? Every time I followed a dream, my family suffered, so I ended up carrying guilt - even for my most amazing adventures. It was like I wasn’t allowed to feel joy in a pure way. It was always tainted with guilt. Guilt always soured the pleasure until I felt hopeless, and that there was nothing in the world I could possibly do right.
If I am this terrible of a person, I thought, my family would be better off without me. And although at this stage in my life there was no plan to do anything differently, and I did not intend to harm myself, it was still a very dark place to live, wading through a swamp of shame. How could I possibly love myself and trust myself if I was such a disappointment and burden to everyone around me?
Unhappy was an understatement. I felt like I couldn’t do anything right, or make anyone happy, so what was the point of even trying? I was ready to give up. I had gained A LOT of weight, which I was also embarrassed about. A year before, I had run the New York City Marathon, but no one would believe that if they saw how much I had changed.
Then a friend of mine posted something on social media that intrigued me. It sounded like a great opportunity to showcase my business, and to share my enjoyment of art - the enjoyment I wanted to have; the joy I once felt before it became necessary for the art to support itself, which I had failed at. I allowed myself to respond to her call to action, and somehow was accepted into her schedule. As the day grew closer, it became obvious that I needed help. I wasn’t ready to share my passion because I wasn’t allowing myself to freely feel and follow my passion. At that point, I was offered a Turn-Around session.
At the turnaround with Scott, he put into words feelings and thoughts that I was ignoring and burying. I realized, “Wow, I am in a dark hole. I feel worthless and have no idea how to get out of this.” Then he gave me a chance to improve my situation. He asked me if I had a friend who had always told me the truth, no matter what. I told him I did, but she had recently moved away. It was a two-and-a-half-hour drive to her new home. Scott told me to go see her in person. “Don’t call,” he said, “Just show up on her doorstep and see what happens. And if she’s not home, leave a note.” And for some reason, I felt called to do this. I needed to do this. I wanted to do this. I called my husband and arranged for him to get the kids, then I got in the car and drove.
She was home when I arrived. We went out for dinner and a long overdue chat, and we supported one another. It was amazing and just what I needed. I realized that I am not valueless, and that someone would notice if I was missing. It got me to thinking about who else really cared for me, and accepted me as I am. I realized the most important thing that anyone can – that I matter.
When I returned, I started doing a daily, 15-minute audio and video clip about what this program means to me. I learned to share in a private community. It was awkward at first. I don’t like looking at myself and talking to my phone. But I did it. And I felt like by sharing my story, and commenting on other people’s videos, I wasn’t alone in my world, or on my journey to self-acceptance and awareness.
Then, a few months later, an AMAZING offer was presented to me - 12 weeks of support and integrity coaching. It was a new program called Integrity Choices, and I was one of the first people to be invited to join it. It was incredible. It started off with a promise to do a small action every day for 33 days. As I mentioned, keeping my word wasn’t something I was very good at, especially to myself. But I made a promise to do something for myself every day, and I started to feel proud of myself for accomplishing it. It was sometimes hard to remember to fill out the daily accountability log at the private membership site, but I am sure now that it was a key factor in my success.
With each passing week, I became more confident in myself because I was learning to honour my word - to others and to myself. By learning what integrity is, I was able to become a better person, a person I am proud of. I was able to incorporate good habits I had tried in the past but never continued for longer than a week, and make those activities part of my everyday life – activities like daily hypnosis meditations. They are no longer a chore or something I need to struggle to remember to do. I look forward to them. And as Scott promised, they have improved my outlook, confidence and success in life.
I also realized that I was codependent. That is, other people’s level of happiness dictated my own. If others were miserable, I became miserable. I was unstable because I was reflecting other people’s emotions. At that time, I wasn’t strong enough or confident enough to hold onto my own feelings or experience when surrounded by other people who were feeling conflicting emotions. This needed to change, as it was having a negative impact on my health, and my relationships.
People started noticing changes in me. Besides feeling and acting more confident, I was sincerely more content with my life. I became more able to accept what I had control over - my attitude and response to situations - and let go of trying to control other people’s reactions, or other things that were completely out of my control. I became much more accepting. I noticed the behaviour of my kids change in a positive way. There is now much less yelling in my house, less fighting and resistance, more I love you’s just because, and less guilt. Even the relationship dynamic between my husband and I changed. Instead of talking about what we don’t want, we now spend more time talking about what we do want, or about the positive things that happened in the day.
I discovered what Scott meant by “awakening.” Real change for the better happens not by trying to change others, but when we change ourselves. In fact, our own thoughts are the only thing in this world we have complete control over, or should. When Scott and Sameena helped me awaken – that is, become aware of and change my flawed thinking and habits, everything else changed too.
This program helped me see my happiness and healthy state of mind as important things to take care of, to nurture and support. I had the courage to leave my day job where I had been experiencing emotional abuse, and go “all-in” on my passion for art. Because of the support in this program, I was ready and able to take the leap of faith I needed.
I conducted my very first intuitive painting workshop with a guided meditation for entrepreneurs to connect with their vision and business at its core. It was magical. I have Integrity Choices to thank for that opportunity, and for pushing me to take action and control of an event. Although there were a few bumps in the road, it was a beautiful event, and I now feel able to take on the next event with total confidence.
Since completing Integrity Choices, I still continue with a weekly call with Sameena, to touch base as she and Scott continue to support me in my life’s journey. I have approached two locations to host art workshops and have booked one a month per location for the summer months.
I am doing it. I am living my dream. I know I am not perfect, but I also know now how to honour my word. And that is the greatest gift we have to offer other people - our word, our promise and our time in action.
I was pleasantly surprised that this really is a pure offer, with no hidden agenda. Everything Scott told me I could achieve – awakening my mind, turning around my life, and establishing integrity with myself and others – happened. I was struggling financially, and they supported me by working within my budget. Now that I’ve experienced their program, that is even more remarkable to me because the value of what they do is inestimable.
How much is a complete “turnaround” in my previously catastrophic thinking worth? How much is the ability to achieve financial success for a lifetime worth? How much is personal integrity worth? They could have turned me away for not being able to afford the normal cost of their services, but they worked with me, and I am forever grateful for that.
Scott and Sameena are two of the most giving and amazing people I’ve ever met. I will forever appreciate what they have done for me. And I am happy to share my journey. I hope it inspires someone else to make themselves a priority and take action so that they too can live in their higher, better self, full of integrity and appreciation, as I now do."

At the turnaround with Scott, he put into words feelings and thoughts that I was ignoring and burying. I realized, “Wow, I am in a dark hole. I feel worthless and have no idea how to get out of this.” Then he gave me a chance to improve my situation. He asked me if I had a friend who had always told me the truth, no matter what. I told him I did, but she had recently moved away. It was a two-and-a-half-hour drive to her new home. Scott told me to go see her in person. “Don’t call,” he said, “Just show up on her doorstep and see what happens. And if she’s not home, leave a note.” And for some reason, I felt called to do this. I needed to do this. I wanted to do this. I called my husband and arranged for him to get the kids, then I got in the car and drove.
She was home when I arrived. We went out for dinner and a long overdue chat, and we supported one another. It was amazing and just what I needed. I realized that I am not valueless, and that someone would notice if I was missing. It got me to thinking about who else really cared for me, and accepted me as I am. I realized the most important thing that anyone can – that I matter.
When I returned, I started doing a daily, 15-minute audio and video clip about what this program means to me. I learned to share in a private community. It was awkward at first. I don’t like looking at myself and talking to my phone. But I did it. And I felt like by sharing my story, and commenting on other people’s videos, I wasn’t alone in my world, or on my journey to self-acceptance and awareness.
Then, a few months later, an AMAZING offer was presented to me - 12 weeks of support and integrity coaching. It was a new program called Integrity Choices, and I was one of the first people to be invited to join it. It was incredible. It started off with a promise to do a small action every day for 33 days. As I mentioned, keeping my word wasn’t something I was very good at, especially to myself. But I made a promise to do something for myself every day, and I started to feel proud of myself for accomplishing it. It was sometimes hard to remember to fill out the daily accountability log at the private membership site, but I am sure now that it was a key factor in my success.
With each passing week, I became more confident in myself because I was learning to honour my word - to others and to myself. By learning what integrity is, I was able to become a better person, a person I am proud of. I was able to incorporate good habits I had tried in the past but never continued for longer than a week, and make those activities part of my everyday life – activities like daily hypnosis meditations. They are no longer a chore or something I need to struggle to remember to do. I look forward to them. And as Scott promised, they have improved my outlook, confidence and success in life.
I also realized that I was codependent. That is, other people’s level of happiness dictated my own. If others were miserable, I became miserable. I was unstable because I was reflecting other people’s emotions. At that time, I wasn’t strong enough or confident enough to hold onto my own feelings or experience when surrounded by other people who were feeling conflicting emotions. This needed to change, as it was having a negative impact on my health, and my relationships.
People started noticing changes in me. Besides feeling and acting more confident, I was sincerely more content with my life. I became more able to accept what I had control over - my attitude and response to situations - and let go of trying to control other people’s reactions, or other things that were completely out of my control. I became much more accepting. I noticed the behaviour of my kids change in a positive way. There is now much less yelling in my house, less fighting and resistance, more I love you’s just because, and less guilt. Even the relationship dynamic between my husband and I changed. Instead of talking about what we don’t want, we now spend more time talking about what we do want, or about the positive things that happened in the day.
I discovered what Scott meant by “awakening.” Real change for the better happens not by trying to change others, but when we change ourselves. In fact, our own thoughts are the only thing in this world we have complete control over, or should. When Scott and Sameena helped me awaken – that is, become aware of and change my flawed thinking and habits, everything else changed too.
This program helped me see my happiness and healthy state of mind as important things to take care of, to nurture and support. I had the courage to leave my day job where I had been experiencing emotional abuse, and go “all-in” on my passion for art. Because of the support in this program, I was ready and able to take the leap of faith I needed.
I conducted my very first intuitive painting workshop with a guided meditation for entrepreneurs to connect with their vision and business at its core. It was magical. I have Integrity Choices to thank for that opportunity, and for pushing me to take action and control of an event. Although there were a few bumps in the road, it was a beautiful event, and I now feel able to take on the next event with total confidence.
Since completing Integrity Choices, I still continue with a weekly call with Sameena, to touch base as she and Scott continue to support me in my life’s journey. I have approached two locations to host art workshops and have booked one a month per location for the summer months.
I am doing it. I am living my dream. I know I am not perfect, but I also know now how to honour my word. And that is the greatest gift we have to offer other people - our word, our promise and our time in action.
I was pleasantly surprised that this really is a pure offer, with no hidden agenda. Everything Scott told me I could achieve – awakening my mind, turning around my life, and establishing integrity with myself and others – happened. I was struggling financially, and they supported me by working within my budget. Now that I’ve experienced their program, that is even more remarkable to me because the value of what they do is inestimable.
How much is a complete “turnaround” in my previously catastrophic thinking worth? How much is the ability to achieve financial success for a lifetime worth? How much is personal integrity worth? They could have turned me away for not being able to afford the normal cost of their services, but they worked with me, and I am forever grateful for that.
Scott and Sameena are two of the most giving and amazing people I’ve ever met. I will forever appreciate what they have done for me. And I am happy to share my journey. I hope it inspires someone else to make themselves a priority and take action so that they too can live in their higher, better self, full of integrity and appreciation, as I now do."
Vadim Koltsov's Story:
Everything was falling apart - my finances, my business, my relationships with family and friends. I was two months away from bankruptcy and almost divorced. I truly could not understand why it was all happening to me.
Being an inexperienced entrepreneur, I was jumping from one business course to another, reading tons of books on business and self-development, joining different business groups, spending a lot of money yet not getting the results. I got to the point where nothing was working for me, and I had only one thing that kept me going, my business. I could let myself down, but I couldn’t let others down, my family, my employees, teachers, students and parents. Over 600 people were standing behind me; people who trusted me and counted on me.
I’d like to acknowledge my wife, who was with me at the most difficult times running the business. She took on a lot of responsibilities, and I can’t even imagine how much stress she went through because of me.
As I was witnessing my wife’s frustrations and desperation, I started to blame her for all our failures! I became aggressive and made her responsible for how I felt. I ultimately ended up pushing her away, thinking that if I took her out of the equation, everything would fall into place. I was wrong.
Not only did it not improve anything, my decision led to my complete failure as a human being, business owner, husband and father.
Sameena and Scott came into my life right on time!
My weekly sessions with Sameena brought me back to life and were like oxygen to me. It was hard at first to adjust to the language they used, and to look at myself honestly. I had always buried self-examination under more work.
That was part of the problem. I suppose I wasn’t unusual in that regard. Many people, especially men, know they need to improve the way they think and feel, but we aren’t trained to be open with our feelings, or we just don’t know how to begin. Fortunately, there are people like Scott and Sameena who do know.
In our counseling sessions, they introduced me to concepts like awakening, which is a very accurate term because I had been asleep in many ways, mainly how to think properly so I could achieve my true potential. That’s where the next step came – turning around.
That’s what it takes sometimes – a complete 180-degree turn. Not a slight adjustment, not a “tweak”, not a comfortable and minor change – a total overhaul. A turnaround. I kept what worked and turned around what didn’t, and that made all the difference.
Scott and Sameena also emphasized the word “integrity” a lot. Now that I’m further along the path, I realize that it was intentional. As the saying goes, “Sometimes, to get the bull’s attention, you have to hit it between the eyes with a board.”
My impatient, “I want it right now”, former business self would think, “Okay, I get it. Integrity. I heard you the first time.” But I didn’t get it because I didn’t have it. I was still resisting. The walls don’t come down easily. When I stopped resisting, I was able to reach deeper inside myself and really fix what’s broken.
Change comes hard sometimes, but when it does, it’s like sunlight bursting through clouds. Now I know, for the first time, what true integrity feels like. I was never a dishonest person. Integrity is more than just honesty.
It’s believing in yourself and putting your own needs first so you can serve others to your fullest potential. On airplanes, the flight attendants tell you to put on your own oxygen mask first in case of an emergency, before you even put your children’s on, because if you pass out first, you won’t be any good to anyone else. It’s a lot like that.
I remember when I first started to do my daily videos. (Part of the membership site programs.) That first time, I stared at the screen on my phone for an hour, too terrified to say a word. Little by little, though, I practiced my daily recordings, and it turned into a power habit I now can’t live without.
I can’t say enough about how much Sameena and Scott helped me clarify my own needs and find myself. My business is taking off, and my relationships with friends, family and employees have improved dramatically.
I am still working on my relationship with my wife and am seeing positive changes. I stopped blaming everyone around me for all my failures. I took full responsibility for my life.

John Newland's Story:
I have been doing the Solopreneur thing for about 12 years as a side hustle. It was never a huge source of income for me, but when Covid hit, my copywriting business all but dried up. Nothing I tried seemed to get new business coming in. I heard about Get Booked To Book Others, and really committed to spend an hour a week booking other people. Once I started booking other people, my income really took off again. Actually, it was far higher than it was Pre-Covid even!
I literally increased my part-time hustle (because I have a full-time job managing projects at a bank) income from $150 per month in February to over $1, 500 per month in September! I credit this all to my participation in Get Booked To Book Others, in particular booking others immediately after I was booked in a particular section that was valuable to me.
When my business dropped way off at the beginning of the pandemic, my self-esteem and productivity were dropping through the floor. It seemed like everything was falling apart. I already had my plate full with a full-time job, family responsibilities and my copywriting side hustle. My spirit was craving an easier, enjoyable and less time-consuming way to pick myself up and start to move forward, so I could start feeling good about myself again.
