Win a Scholarship to From Busy to Happy! (CLOSED)

- June 23, 2014 | by April -

From Busy to Happy Scholarship

Have you heard of From Busy to Happy?

You know, THE course that’ll help you stop wasting hours on social media, get clear on the goals you actually care about, and figure out what obstacles are standing in your way and how to demolish them.

Well, Mayi and I are offering a scholarship for the course cause we want to help as many creatives as possible, no matter how much money is in their piggy banks.

If you’ve been drooling over the course and counting your pennies to see if you can register, we’re opening up one spot for FREE.

And, we’re making the process super easy, because we know you’re busy. Hello! That’s why you want to take the course, right?

All you have to do to enter is:

1. Print off the hand-painted declaration of your goal (see banner below).

2. Fill in your goal, the date you want to accomplish your goal by and the kryptonite that you won’t let stand in your way.

3. Take a picture of yourself holding your declaration and upload it to your favorite social media platform(s) (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest) with the hashtag #connectingthegaps and the link to the course page: http://bit.ly/busytohappy

4. Leave a comment below letting us know which social media platform(s) you posted your declaration on.

5. The scholarship entry deadline is THIS THURSDAY, June 26th at 1pm EST. We’ll announce the winner around 5pm EST on June 26th.

Scholarship Download

Bonus Points:

1. The more social media platforms you post your picture on, the more times you’ll be entered in the contest. Options: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest.

2. If you post the picture of you holding your declaration of your goal in a blog post (with the link back to course page) and write a little bit about why you want to reach that goal, you’ll get entered another five times. Make sure to leave the LINK to your blog post in the comments below, so we can find and read it.

    Hello,

    I for now uploaded my picture and course website on my instagram, twitter, pinterest and facebook.

    Followings are the links:

    twitter: https://twitter.com/lje0512/status/481124633278570497

    facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jieun.lee.33671748

    I hope I did it right.

    I don’t have a blog for now so I can’t write more about why I want this course as much as I want, but to summarize, I want this course to be my first step to build my own blog and set up a system that would sustain the blog and personal development.

    I would be honoured to take this course and apply everything I learn from the course.

    Thank you.

    I have a Really Big Thing coming my way soon, and this course is just PERFECT for it. This giveaway is perfect for my South African currencied wallet. I’m getting this thing printed and entering in the morning. Woo hoo.

    This program sounds amazing! I soooo need this! I shared on Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, and I also wrote a blog post. Even if I don’t win the scholarship, I have taken a big step by declaring my goal and sharing it with the Universe. It’s out there, now I have no choice but to see it through 🙂

    I would love to win! I saw you both on Creative Live and I love what you teach! I have a LOT of big plans, but the first and most important one is to get my website launched so I can make the rest of them happen.I gave myself until July 30th, 2014 to reach this goal and not even my fear of failure (or success) will stand in my way!
