My 1111 Agreement Story
I was a professional counselor and social worker from 2009 to 2016 and according to Scott Gallagher, “if not for his actions” (in 2016), I would NOT have lost my job and the ability to practice my career as a social worker.
Back in 2016, Scott took a stand for me against my abusive employer, who was breaking the Employment Standards Act laws.
Scott was my VOICE at a meeting he instigated, with the president of the board. When the board member asked me a question, I went into complete shock and could not speak.
I froze up and the words would not come out of my mouth. So, they had no choice but to allow Scott to speak for me and ‘be my voice’.
He said exactly what I would have wanted to say had I not felt threatened by the surprise lawyer and board member who put me in shock.
Scott’s only motive for taking a stand for me back in 2016 was not only so I could be heard, but because he thought (just like how any person would) that if the board knew that forcing their employees to work for free went against the Employment Standards Act, they would make an effort to make things ‘right’.
And most importantly, so that I would feel safe to ask for time off, so I could spend time taking care of my dad who had cancer, and still feel safe going into work without worrying about getting fired or laid off.
However, unpredictably, the OPPOSITE happened.
Right after I stood up for my rights with Scott’s support, I got suspended the next business day when I went into work.
I was ultimately constructively dismissed by my employer and unable to continue practicing as a social worker, ever. I became unemployable in the workforce.
Ultimately, it was an approximately 18-month battle with this charity.
Scott put his business on hold for a year, and ghost wrote close to 100 emails on my behalf to the board and their legal representatives.
Because of Scott, the ministry of labor ordered my former employer to pay 30 thousand dollars to me for unpaid wages.
And despite the fact that Scott was the one who ultimately had me win against my employer for unpaid wages, Scott would not take a dime.
Because in his world, he was making ‘amends’ (It’s called step 9 in the Big Book Of Alcoholics Anonymous) for starting an intervention between me and my employer ‘without my knowledge or consent’.
Even though this was not Scott’s ‘fault’, I for sure did not blame him for what happened, yet Scott still chose that he would take responsibility and make things ‘right’ by me.
He has since that time done whatever he knew to do to help me become self-sustainable again (without giving me money or charity).
Scott’s ONLY motive for taking things into his own hands was so that I would feel safe going into work, and that I would feel comfortable asking for some time off when he saw first-hand how stressed, anxious and scared I was going into work.
Because, at the time, my dad was diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing treatment, and I had no time to spend with him. I was working 50 - 60 hour weeks (getting paid for 25 hours), and I was too scared to ask for time off from work to be with my dad.
Despite all that happened, Scott still chose to take responsibility because ‘if for not his actions’, even though it got me out of an abusive work environment. But because Scott is a person of honor and high integrity, he has been making an ongoing ‘amends’ to me by putting his own business on hold for the 18 months it took for him to vindicate me by winning my case and beyond.
At the time, with being unemployable and refusing to go on ODSP back when I had the chance, Scott taught me this whole new world of self-employment, even though I had absolutely no experience or expertise in marketing and sales.
At the time I had very low self-esteem. I believed I did not have what it took to sustain myself as a full-time self-employed person, and I was in no position mentally and emotionally to go back into the workforce.
All I knew was to be a “worker”, and I had the mindset of a ‘worker’, so Scott has been coaching me for free in accordance with the agreement I am about to get into.
All my various types of agreements with Scott over the years stem from this amends of Scott’s, which transformed from an amends to a spiritual wellbeing agreement for me which Scott first branded 1111 www.eleveneleven.tv
April 4th, 2017 is the date when the agreement started, and it was also the first time I ever told Scott – and only Scott - that I wanted to end my life.
As part of this “probono intervention” he was doing on me, Scott felt that because I was so isolated, distressed and depressed, unable to function or focus on much of anything, that I desperately needed daily human connection with healthy people in order to feel validated, and he felt that me connecting with a different person everyday would be a good thing for my mental wellbeing.
My 1111 agreement started with www.eleveneleven.tv which was the first multi-camera Facebook live streaming platform in Canada, which we used to get me human connection and attention.
Scott is the founder of the Federal not for profit All Addictions Anonymous (of which I was on the board of directors).
Scott “volunteers” over 2 hours of his time every single day to those who are less fortunate (it’s part of his step 12- ‘entirely without a profit motive’ work).
This step 12 work is part of his own wellbeing practice to give him immunity from relapsing back into the diseases of alcoholism and drug addictions.
And www.my1111agreement.com is considered 12 step work for Scott, so his 1111 agreement with me serves him because it guarantees that Scott has someone to do 12 step work with every morning, without him having to do any marketing or outreach!
I personally suffer from an obsessive worry and paranoia condition.
I was anorexic when I first met Scott back in 2012. Scott “12 stepped me” back then and helped me recover from what he saw was “my addiction to not eating”.
Because of my decision to not take prescription drugs, and because the 12 steps have never resonated for me personally like they obviously have for Scott, he continues to support my mental, emotional and financial well-being by simply honoring his own 12 step agreement with himself, and his 1111 agreement with me.
Scott is not only a volunteer for All Addictions Anonymous and Get Booked To Book Others, he has an “entire absence of financial profit motive” for this work because it is 12 step.
Since April 4th 2017 in particular, Scott has volunteered a minimum of 2 hours of his time every single morning before 11:11 AM helping people (including me), either for the not for profit Scott founded in 2003, All Addictions Anonymous, or any one of the platforms Scott created for me over the years (like Get Booked To Book Others) thanks to www.my1111agreement.com .

REWINDING BACK TO 2017 - THE JOURNEY THAT LEAD ME TO BECOME A FULL TIME SOLOPRENEUR!
March 1st 2017, the day I resigned from my corporate job and never looked back since then. It was also the day I made a decision, in spirit to walk away from my profession as a social worker for good and NOT rely on the 'system' ever again.
This transition has been a roller coaster ride, but thanks to the gift of My1111Agreement, I had a shot at making it in the self-employment world without being forced to go back into working in the corporate world.
April 4th 2017, was the day I first confessed to Scott that I wanted to end my life.
Scott listened to me without judgment that day, and helped me understand that the source of my suicidal ideations was that I was isolating and craved human connection...
...That I needed daily human connection every morning to interrupt my destructive and suicidal thought patterns.
Scott negotiates a deal with me telling me that I can have access to his services every morning for free on the condition that - instead of paying him in $$$ for his services - that I pay him by making and keeping a daily promise to him.
People have often asked me why the name 1111??
Scott initially came up with the name, 1111 because he knew that I was sleeping in a lot due to being very depressed, so he felt 11:11 am was late enough in the morning that I would have no excuse - even with my deep depression to accomplish the promise by that time and not show up late for my guest.
Looking back, it seems to a lot of people that Scott naming it 1111 was a brilliant marketing strategy, YET Scott never cared about the number of views or the Attraction and Attention that came from this concept.
For Scott, it was all about just getting me a guest in the studio to connect with every morning so I don't have time to be in my own head.
However, Scott knew that for him to accomplish his mission of supporting my well-being in getting a me guest every single day, we would have to give them something of value to bribe them to want to come into the studio to see a stranger.
And that valuable 'thing' was to provide them with a unique platform to not only connect with me, but also to simultaneously connect with their facebook friends at the same time through his facebook live streaming studio, getting them all kinds of attention and visibility into their own network of people developing a deeper level of trust with those people they would ultimately want to make offers to down the road at the 'right' time.
11:11 was born out of Scott’s passion to be of maximum service to humanity by helping me out of depression. In Scott's world, he was fighting for my life - he was doing everything he knew to do to help me find a reason to live. And it worked!
I see my self-worth and value now - not only as a human being - but also as a business woman and it's all because of Scott's consistent faith and belief in me.
You might say. that everything I'm now doing was inspired by the difference Scott made in my life and which I now wish to make for many others.
In the first 90 days after 11:11 was created, Scott was blown away by the generosity of all the people (about 60) who came to connect with me on 1111, knowing that they could not promote directly or indirectly or sell anything.
And out of his appreciation to all those 1111 guests who made a difference for me in transforming my emotional state and bringing me permanently out of my depression, what Scott knew he did not have the power to do alone, he created Passion Projects Light as a thank you gift which was exclusive to guests who came on 1111.
Before I became known in my local town and online where people knew me as 'that 1111 girl who has that 'show' from doing 300+ episodes of 1111 in 90 days, I was a grief counselor and a social worker at a local charity.
In 2016, I stood up for my rights against my employer and the rights of other employees at this local charity I was employed at as a social worker.
And as a result, I found myself in the situation where I knew I couldn’t work in the system again.
I loved my work and my clients, and after having lost the ability (in my mind) to do my work ever again, I became very depressed, and even had suicidal ideations.
The things I needed, were hope, a purpose, and human connection. Scott initially created 1111 around me for that reason - To force me to get that human connection and interaction I missed so terribly after leaving my profession entirely.
And in less then 90 days, 1111 (Platform) took a life of its own. In other words, what was first created for me grew into something even bigger and more meaningful where it wasn't about me anymore.
We didn’t create 11:11 to talk about business and projects and plans. This was meant to be a pure moment of human connection, an exchange of experience, a touch of reality, a break from the pressures of society that hold us down.
The agreement required that I either have a guest in the studio and broadcast live on their Facebook timeline by 11:11am, OR that I broadcast live on my own timeline until someone connected with me by starting a conversation.
In return for honoring this agreement, I received a maximum of 2 hours of Scott’s time the following day (whether it be producing my broadcast in the background, running the cameras, consulting or coaching with me or my guests).
I was able to offer this opportunity freely with so many people that came into 1111 for free, including for my other services like Passion Projects Light and 1111 Turnaround sessions.
All this was freely given by me since I was using my 2 hours with Scott at my discretion.
BUT if I ever missed even one single day, the agreement was null, and I would no longer be able to earn any of Scott’s time.
Guests who have been on 1111 could come onto this other platform which gave them an opportunity to talk about whatever they want without any restrictions and conditions.
They could talk about or promote their passion(s) or passion projects, etc., and it was also for free.
After my well-being was solid and it was clear that I was no longer depressed nor did I have suicidal ideations, Scott had a long heart to heart talk with me.
He shared with me that one day I will have to let 1111 go (and share it with others) since I am well now, and 1111 is not making money.
And I was very resistant and reluctant in one day having to let 1111 go, but I knew Scott was looking out for me as he knew that I could never make money from it directly.
And after I kind of embraced the thought that I will need to let go of 1111 eventually one day, the very next day I have a guest come in for 1111.
And Scott strongly feels that this person will make a perfect guest host for 1111 and she will most likely want to do it, he feels everything about them is a yes.
After our 1111 conversation, Scott comes out and asks my guest if they would like to be a guest host of 1111, but he did say that he couldn’t commit, it was ultimately my decision.
And it was so evident that this person would be the perfect fit. It was really hard at first letting 1111 go; I would get emotional at first at just the thought of having to let it go.
But I trusted Scott. I was emotionally well enough at the time - and Scott felt it would soon be time for me to start addressing my financial wellbeing - and 1111 would not make me any money as that is not what it was created for. And with Scott’s guidance and continuous support, I let go of 1111.
This video captured in the moment shows how hard it was for me at the time to let it go. And of course, I am not in this emotional place or state of mind anymore. This video is a part of time, where it documents one of those significant events in my journey.
Once we had our first confirmed guest host, Scott gently convinced me that we had to allow non-prejudicialy everybody who has been a guest on 1111 an opportunity to be considered as a guest host and go through the process. And we've had a number of guests who went on to become hosts of 1111.
Scott also created 1111 for young children which gave me the opportunity to be with kids as he knew how much I loved kids and missed working with kids.
And so, Scott created WE ELEVENS which lead me to have my first We Eleven.
Scott told me that 1111 would be the foundation for all my dreams to come true.
He said it's where all the abundance would come from even though it will never come out of it directly.
Scott asked me to give him ninety days to obsessively focus on building 1111 even though it was not a business or profit center for me.
Scott promised me that if I did that, that within ninety days, I would become somewhat of a small town celebrity.
I trusted Scott even though I could not understand and fathom what was happening and had no interest in being any sort of celebrity. In fact I preferred to be invisible.
I did not understand business or why getting attention was so important, but I knew to trust Scott and I did my best to follow his guidance and leadership. And in less than ninety days, I get an opportunity to go to some sort of seminar in Toronto for free.
Scott suggested I go to this seminar not because it would change my life but for one reason only – Scott promised me that at least a minimum of three people would come up to me at the seminar and ask me, "Aren’t you that girl on Facebook?”
Five people came up to me at the seminar and asked me this very same question. I remember walking into a Best Buy which is on the other side of town to buy a capture card and the guy at the counter who is serving us recognizes me and asks me, aren’t you that girl on Facebook that interviews people?”
I've walked into malls and this very same thing happens! I could not believe what was happening. Scott delivered on his promise.
And when I told Scott I had a dream to go to California one day, he said, “Well, I told you, we could do anything with 1111.”
And the next thing you know, Scott writes this message and sends it to this particular person who lives in California, Sacramento who I did not know and he did not know, and the person responds back that very same day and offers to host us at her home for two months.
By the end of October we are on a tour in the U.S hosting episodes of 1111 in Sacramento, Anaheim, Arizona, Nashville, Louisville, Kentucky, we have had guests in different cities.
Scott showed me how to get a guest overnight in any City I want. And I applied what Scott taught me on this tour and it worked. I had the most amazing and abundant journey on this tour and it is all because of Scott and starting with him knowing what I needed from the very beginning.
The odds were against me in me winning against this well-known and powerful charity, but Scott would not give up in what he knew was important to me even though there were times when I was on the verge of giving up on myself because it was just too much for me to handle.
Scott would not all allow me to accept defeat, it just was not an option for him.
Thanks to Scott's multi-faceted talents, determination, unconditional love and conviction, I won the Ministry of Labor Case, and I claimed my victory!
The charity was ordered by the Ministry of Labor to send a payment in the amount of $30,943.71 to the Director of Employment Standards in Trust.
That payment was processed and received by me co-incidentally just a few days before I left for my U.S. tour!
Scott did for me what my psychotherapist and psychiatrist could not do.
I am healthy, mentally capable and I do not think about ending my life anymore. I am living the best and most prosperous time of my life. I am not dependent on Scott or anyone anymore!
I now have my own studio!
1111 and Passion Projects LIGHT have given me mind-blowing visibility and attention both locally and internationally since we first launched it back in April 2017.
Scott taught me that a truly self-sustainable platform exists ONLY when the creator, is no longer needed and it still continues to flourish.
And this is exactly what happened!
When Scott and I were in the U.S for 5 weeks taking 1111 on the road, episodes were simultaneously going on in Canada as well every single day!
On, or around my birthday (February 11th, 2018) Scott has a heart to heart talk with me advising me that it is time for me to stop relying on donations and to start acting and operating like a business owner....
Scott creates a plan for me which I follow and in less than 3 weeks, I get my very first Coaching Client and that client pays me 11 Thousand dollars for 30 days of my time.
A couple months later (April 27th, 2018) I not only received the Waterfront People's Choice Award, I had the highest number of votes (Scott gets the credit for doing some sort of marketing magic to this day I don't know how he got me to number one)
This transition has been a roller coaster ride, but thanks to the gift of My1111Agreement, I had a shot at making it in the self-employment world without being forced to go back into working in the corporate world.

Scott also created 1111 for young children which gave me the opportunity to be with kids as he knew how much I loved kids and missed working with kids.
And so, Scott created WE ELEVENS which lead me to have my first We Eleven.
Scott told me that 1111 would be the foundation for all my dreams to come true.
He said it's where all the abundance would come from even though it will never come out of it directly.
Scott asked me to give him ninety days to obsessively focus on building 1111 even though it was not a business or profit center for me.
Scott promised me that if I did that, that within ninety days, I would become somewhat of a small town celebrity.
I trusted Scott even though I could not understand and fathom what was happening and had no interest in being any sort of celebrity. In fact I preferred to be invisible.
I did not understand business or why getting attention was so important, but I knew to trust Scott and I did my best to follow his guidance and leadership. And in less than ninety days, I get an opportunity to go to some sort of seminar in Toronto for free.
Scott suggested I go to this seminar not because it would change my life but for one reason only – Scott promised me that at least a minimum of three people would come up to me at the seminar and ask me, "Aren’t you that girl on Facebook?”
Five people came up to me at the seminar and asked me this very same question. I remember walking into a Best Buy which is on the other side of town to buy a capture card and the guy at the counter who is serving us recognizes me and asks me, aren’t you that girl on Facebook that interviews people?”
I've walked into malls and this very same thing happens! I could not believe what was happening. Scott delivered on his promise.
And when I told Scott I had a dream to go to California one day, he said, “Well, I told you, we could do anything with 1111.”
And the next thing you know, Scott writes this message and sends it to this particular person who lives in California, Sacramento who I did not know and he did not know, and the person responds back that very same day and offers to host us at her home for two months.
By the end of October we are on a tour in the U.S hosting episodes of 1111 in Sacramento, Anaheim, Arizona, Nashville, Louisville, Kentucky, we have had guests in different cities.
Scott showed me how to get a guest overnight in any City I want. And I applied what Scott taught me on this tour and it worked. I had the most amazing and abundant journey on this tour and it is all because of Scott and starting with him knowing what I needed from the very beginning.
The odds were against me in me winning against this well-known and powerful charity, but Scott would not give up in what he knew was important to me even though there were times when I was on the verge of giving up on myself because it was just too much for me to handle.
Scott would not all allow me to accept defeat, it just was not an option for him.
Thanks to Scott's multi-faceted talents, determination, unconditional love and conviction, I won the Ministry of Labor Case, and I claimed my victory!
The charity was ordered by the Ministry of Labor to send a payment in the amount of $30,943.71 to the Director of Employment Standards in Trust.
That payment was processed and received by me co-incidentally just a few days before I left for my U.S. tour!
Scott did for me what my psychotherapist and psychiatrist could not do.
I am healthy, mentally capable and I do not think about ending my life anymore. I am living the best and most prosperous time of my life. I am not dependent on Scott or anyone anymore!
I now have my own studio!
1111 and Passion Projects LIGHT have given me mind-blowing visibility and attention both locally and internationally since we first launched it back in April 2017.
Scott taught me that a truly self-sustainable platform exists ONLY when the creator, is no longer needed and it still continues to flourish.
And this is exactly what happened!
When Scott and I were in the U.S for 5 weeks taking 1111 on the road, episodes were simultaneously going on in Canada as well every single day!
On, or around my birthday (February 11th, 2018) Scott has a heart to heart talk with me advising me that it is time for me to stop relying on donations and to start acting and operating like a business owner....
Scott creates a plan for me which I follow and in less than 3 weeks, I get my very first Coaching Client and that client pays me 11 Thousand dollars for 30 days of my time.
A couple months later (April 27th, 2018) I not only received the Waterfront People's Choice Award, I had the highest number of votes (Scott gets the credit for doing some sort of marketing magic to this day I don't know how he got me to number one)
After working with my first $11k client, setting up my membership site, and starting to book even more high-ticket clients for $14k, $17k, $22k, and more, I approached Scott to tell him that I wanted to observe and be more a part of his Turnaround sessions.
Scott had done a great job at getting me the attention and making me known! So by now, I got enough attention, my self-confidence was higher and I was bored of all the ATTENTION I was getting, lol.
So, I told Scott that there was nothing more meaningful to me than having the opportunity to be part of his work. Meaning I want to sit in his primate sessions (even if it is as an observer) and just be part of it in some way, and witness the transformations happen first-hand!
Scott agreed, and I began observing each one of his interventions and Turnaround sessions (If I generated the lead).
Now, I consider it to be a privilege and an honor for me to sit in Scott's private sessions, given that Scott would never ever allow anyone to sit in his sessions with the client as to him, these private sessions are very intimate and like his sacred space.
I (With having Scott in my offers thanks to my1111Agreement), made these people my passion project and used an array of tools, techniques, and resources to get them out of the depths of despair and on to a path of inspired success, booking paying clients and growing their own thriving businesses.
