I also know you're time and attention is valuable and I dont take lightly.

To: scott@turnaround.tv
Hey Scott, I know you have faith that one of our receivables will arrive in time for us to pay the rent but you know me, I’ve been getting really scared sometimes like right now and it’s Christmas, which I keep to myself of course, because I dont want to put my negativity on you, but Im finding that I can’t seem to focus on what I need to focus on with my business when im anticipating worst case scenarios with my landlord happening again, Scott.
I’m worrying so much again and I know you understand more than anyone what it’s like for me when I get into that dark place. I feel myself getting paralyzed, unable to stop myself from worrying about money and the very real possibility of not being able to pay February’s rent.
I feel bad, I feel ashamed and I don’t like asking for help but I don’t know what else to do. I feel like I have to do something, keep busy, otherwise, I will just keep getting more and more stuck in my head, getting more and more anxious and depressed if I am not doing everything I can think of to increase the probability of me getting my portion of the rent paid before it's due on February 1st.
And yes, I know I got lots in the pipeline before Christmas but Im feeling pressured and rushed to close deals faster than is possible for me which is why I want to ask something of you, and you don’t need to do anything to help me if you say “yes” because I will do all the work, so here’s my question - would you be aligned with me putting together a private single web page that tells the story of what we’ve been going through this Christmas and then make a special request offer to certain people that I know and you know?
Id be more than willing to do all the work like I said, if you just give me permission to send whatever message I want to send out to certain people I feel wont judge you or I ESPECIALLY IF IM NOT ASKING FOR CHARITY?!
So may I please have your blessing Scott, to create a private custom web page with a request(s) of some sort on it, and then send out our story making the request only to certain people I select?
I know it’s Christmas and all but I think this is the best shot I got at having enough money to eat and pay my bills and portion of the rent that will be due the end of January and I want to act on this right away while im in momentum so can we please schedule time to talk about this sometime tomorrow Scott?

The below video is 3 minutes long, and it's an edit of a conversation I was having with Scott over zoom on Christmas eve morning. It explains the heart and soul behind the above email I sent to Scott.
If you’re not in a position to watch the above video right now, let me just say that whenever I get scared about possibly not being able to pay my rent, the fastest and most reliable way for me to stop my destructive thinking is to commit to helping others solve the same or similar problems that I had or am going through right now.

I finally get why Scott's been donating 2 hours of his time every single morning for free since before I even met him!
“Cause for another that which you most want and need for yourself in your business OR Cause for yourself that which you most want and need to cause for others in their business”.
“When all other methods fail, work with another alcoholic (or another business owner also addicted to “worry”) would save the day”.
These words have been the essence of Scott’s message drilled into me for over 5 years now.
I was going through a very difficult inner battle right at the start of the pandemic when the lockdowns happened, which ultimately became the demise of both mine and Scott’s separate and shared studio businesses.
And the only reason I’m using the word “WAS going through” as apposed to “IS going through” is because I’ve finally surrendered and made the same commitment as Scott has, which is to help someone different every single day for free.
Back in 2017, Scott created a specific wellbeing structure and system that succeeded in eliminating my fears, caused me to make more money, and all it required of me was that I be willing to help one person for free every day, just like how Scott’s been doing it for years - which has been the key to him staying sober from his so many addictions for so many years.
The problem is, I never fully committed to helping people for free every single day like how Scott has been doing it for years.
I see now that on some level I’ve mostly been motivated to do free stuff when I’m desperate and feel I “need” to, whereas Scott’s morning mediation ritual ends with him helping someone for free because of the abundance he experiences for himself. Helping others find a solution to their problems with, just like the big book of alcoholics anonymous says, “An Entire Absence of Profit Motive”.
I have witnessed Scott do this for over 5 years now, meaning start his day by helping another human being for free, with an entire absence of profit motive, and he suggested I do the same thing for myself, as a pathway out of my own worries and anxieties surrounding my finances.
Not only have I said yes to his invitation, Scott came up with a Step 12 offer (ie free) he and I are doing together to help solopreneurs/business owners like myself get more prospects and customers without having to spend money on ads.
It’s about why Scott’s been helping me and the people I know for free every morning since April 4th, 2017 and why he’s honored his end of our 1111 agreement (see www.my1111agreement.com)
Here’s what Scott said to me word for word, "Cause for another what you most want or need for yourself. If you want permanent recovery from scarcity thinking and financial insecurity, then help others find a solution to their scarcity thinking and financial insecurity problems."
So let me tell you about my Step 12 based offer I'm doing with Scott!

MY "ENTIRE ABSENSE OF PROFIT MOTIVE"
OFFER FOR MY FRIENDS
Next to the not for profit work I'm truly blessed to do for “Get Booked To Book Others,” there is no other type of work I love doing more for people right now than this offer I'm sharing with you now, so Get It!
Two of my past clients have paid 1111 US dollars for the same offer I’m about to tell you about, these 2 people have also been gifted this offer first.
So Here's the OFFER...
Scott will consult with you first over zoom and I’ll be on the call with you taking notes for you so you can just be present to Scott when answering his questions.
He’s going to talk to you about where you’re at, and what your business or passion project is - or might be about.
Scott will then advise you on what angle he thinks would be best for you to take when it comes to communicating and customizing your usage of a particular Facebook automation software Scott acquired for me, and which is so powerful I refer to it as being one of my two “secret weapons”, second only to Scott himself LOL!
Using this software, we will not just show you how, but we will actually create the right type of messages that you feel great about, and that will strategically deepen some of the connections you’ve already got on Facebook causing them to reach out to you!
In fact, I’m going to show you a version of the very first automated broadcast that Scott ever created for me. It had nothing to do with my business, and it resulted in 55 people scheduling zoom appointments with me for the month of June, 2021 alone.
Below are screen shots of my June and July 2021 appointments which were generated by the message Scott wrote for me, and which went out to some of mine and Scott's facebook friends at the rate of about 50 per day.

I should probably give you the context for the message Scott wrote and then automated resulting in booking all those above appointments, which as I’ve said had nothing to do with business.
It was during the peak of lockdowns, masks, and vaccine mandates in Canada, when my beloved grandmother would unexpectedly find herself living out her last 11 days in a hospital unable to speak, eat or drink anything.
While I was visiting my grandmother every single one of those 11 days, unable to focus on my business, Scott was here at the office learning about this software for me, and how it works.
Scott came up with this message 100 percent on his own based upon knowing me. It’s exactly what I would have wanted to say to people if I were in a position to find the right words, which I wasn’t.

"Hi David,
Sameena has experienced many losses during covid but none so devastating as the one I am witnessing her go through this week, which is the drastic deterioration of her grandmother’s health and who could die any time now. Knowing Sameena well over the years, she is thinking and feeling like this kind of pain will never really end.
How will life ever go back to normal for her without the presence of her grandmother physically in her life, who she would enjoy to go visit every week at the nursing home?
She just cannot imagine that and Sameena’s situation has prompted me to reach out to you - and other people (she does and does not know all that well) with a request that you be open to the possibility of spending 30 minutes of face to face time over zoom with Sameena should she wish to do so?
I’m asking you this, because I know how much Sameena would benefit right now from daily human connection with a different person each and every day - because of how I saw a similar structure help her back in 2017, when all those strangers came in to our studio to have an 1111 conversation with Sameena back when those conversations were multi-camera streamed as a facebook live.
Now to be clear, if you say yes to my request, the conversation won’t be recorded or streamed. I just know that when sameena got severely depressed after losing her ability to ever practice again as a social worker back in 2017, she was brought back to life because of having face to face conversations with a different person every single day (and back then all those people who came in to see sameena had never met her before).
If I don’t hear back from you, please know that I completely understand AND if you would like me to send you a link to sameena’s zoom calendar please simply type back the word YES and I will get it over to you within 24 hours.
And just so you are aware, Sameena does not know that I have sent you this message but she has given me permission to monitor her fb account right now while she focuses on supporting her mother who is even more devastated than she is."

Like I said, the above message was automated and went out to about 50 facebook friends of mine per day for 11 days in a row, and on the day my granny went to heaven, May 28th, 2021, my online calendar had 55 new human connection call zoom appointments on it for the month of June and another 20 or so for July AND All these appointments came directly from using this software to send out the message.
Let me now share with you how Scott used one of the features of this software to make me an extra 20 thousand dollars in less than 90 days.
Scott calls it the “Group Friend Request and Tagging Feature” and quite frankly, no matter how great the feature is, it won’t make you any money if you have not first identified that ONE best Facebook group for your messaging to be targeted into from the get go, If you pick the wrong groups, you’ll just end up wasting time having conversations with people who will never end up buying anything from you. And that’s why people have paid me as much as 1111 US dollars per month just so that they could have Scott advising them not just on which messages to automate, but perhaps more importantly which Facebook groups we should be targeting.
The software feature I’m talking about allows you to automate the process of simultaneously sending a friend request along with a personal message to a specific Facebook group or groups you target, and then “tagging” them so that you can follow-up with them later knowing which message or messages they’ve already received from you.
If you look hard, you’ll find a number of different Facebook automation software that has this and other features in them, but the key is in being able to make your automated messages not feel automated which is very hard to do but from my experience. Scott’s a master at this and because of all my experience having 1111 conversations in my studio with about 500 guests (see www.eleveneleven.tv) and my experience with doing a FB live every single day since April 4th, 2017 until someone connects with me by posting a comment while I’m live, I’m pretty good at this myself!
For example, because I had paid 2000 US dollars back in 2019 for a 6 week course by Stu Mclaren that taught business owners about membership sites, and because my purchase included access into a private Facebook group with the other 3 thousand business owners who had paid the 2k to be in the same course, and because my business provides services to these kinds of people, Scott advised me to only use the “Group Friend Request and Tagging Feature” for the purpose of building relationships with these people, because we know these people have money to invest in their business because they like myself, had invested the 2k to take the same
course as me.
I now have over 3 thousand people in my system that have been uniquely identified and “Tagged” by the software with the word “Tribe” which means that, I’m blessed to be in “follow-up” mode now where nearly all my prospecting time is about nurturing and deepening my relationships as opposed to starting new ones.
Anyways, if you want to know more details about how this free offer works, please reach out to me either by Email, Telegram or you can send me a private message through my Facebook Messenger.
To make it convenient for you, I have provided the direct links of all three options to connect with me below.
OR, you can book a zoom call with me to discuss the details and how this works. I have provided my calendar at the bottom of this page with as much flexibility as possible, if you would like to schedule a call.

John Newland Speaks About Scott And Sameena
My name is John Newland. I’m a Project Manager for a bank located in Utah, USA. I’ve also been self-employed as a copy writer for over 11 years.
Scott Gallagher is one of my clients. In fact, he’s hired me about 50 different times for his various not for profit and for profit business ventures which include All Addictions Anonymous and Get Booked To Book Others, which I’m an active member of.
When I met Scott, he was at the peak of his school programs, I had just started out with Fiverr, a new service provider to Fiverr at the time, and I remember, Scott would hire me for little writing projects, he gave me a boost when I was first starting out, and I so appreciated the opportunity to write for him being new to Fiverr and all and just starting out.
I have known Scott for many years now, not just as his copywriter, but also his friend. It is interesting how much you can get to learn about a person by being their writer, but it is not only that, I also know Scott personally as a person. I know of the kind of man he is, I know all about the good work he has done and continues to do for the community. I know about the great work he has done in schools working with very vulnerable at risk kids and youth.
I don’t think you’ll ever meet anyone more committed, dedicated and passionate about “Step 12 Work” (which means it’s carried out with “an entire absence of profit motive”) than Scott.
Scott’s an unusually honest person and despite his seemingly “rough exterior”, he’s got a heart of gold. He’s the kind of guy that treats you like a friend.
The following document was written by one of Scott's past psychiatrist, Dr. Sam Ozersky back in 2004. It confirms Scott's history of substance abuse, ADHD, and bipolar.

The following document was written by one of Scott's past psychiatrist, Dr. Sam Ozersky back in 2004. It confirms Scott's history of substance abuse, ADHD, and bipolar.
Scott introduced me to his platonic friend/roommate Sameena Fernandes in response to how the pandemic lockdowns destroyed the in person video production and streaming studio business Scott had built for her back in 2017.
I’ve done a number of probono writing projects for Sameena like this one, and I’ve also stepped in most recently to help Sameena and Scott with various writing projects that support both Sameena and Scott getting approved for ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Program).
I also know all about Sameena's Anxiety Disorder, and how a lot of the anxiety and paranoia has been in the past triggered by her landlord, and to date, her anxiety condition escalates when she feels she is running out of time and fears not being able to pay her rent when it comes closer to the end of the month.
The following medical letter was the first letter that was written by her doctor when her landlord was trying to evict her and took her to the Landlord And Tenant Board (LTB) twice.
At the very top of this page, immediately below the email Sameena sent to Scott on Christmas day, is Scott’s response to her where he tells her “I only give you permission to communicate your message to people we actually really do know (ie not fake facebook friends) and you have my permission to be as transparent as you want, which includes disclosing, or not disclosing whatever personal information you want about me, so long as that information is contained on a hidden web page link which you can password protect at a later date.”
Whether you’re a past client or friend of either Scott or Sameena, if you’re reading this page, it’s because Sameena feels you can be trusted to not share this page or the contents of this page with anyone.
As per Scott’s Christmas day permission email to Sameena above, Sameena has posted on this page a number of very personal medical letters and other documents which were previously “protected” by a Non Discloser Agreement.
I’m therefore asking you to please kindly do your best to treat my words and the documents you will see below, as being absolutely confidential.
In Dr. Goldberg’s letter above, you’ll notice he said “during and prior to the pandemic, Sameena’s principal residence was 4 Lisa Street and 10 Lisa Street was her office.” And that “10 Lisa Street is also the address which the not for profit organization All Addictions Anonymous operates from.”
Goldberg also stated that “Ms. Fernandes is the only consistent and reliable volunteer right now who is essential in keeping the work of AAA/Get Booked To Book Others continuing to operate out of 10 Lisa Street.
Below is a professional and structured Home Office Roommate Agreement Between Sameena Fernandes And Scott Gallagher, what Dr. Goldberg was referring to in his above medical letter.
In recognition of Sameena Fernandes’ good work during COVID, being the primary volunteer for the Canadian Not for Profit Organization All Addictions Anonymous - and the only volunteer for Get Booked To Book Others, having generously donated well over 200 hours of her time to date without any thought of financial gain for herself, I started a Gofund Me last Christmas with all proceeds going to Sameena.
I’ve quickly reactivated that Gofund Me in hopes that, if you’ve read this far, you might feel drawn to clicking this link https://gofund.me/54639966 and making a donation of any amount.
Although the campaign is still titled “Support The Good Work of Sameena Fernandes”, if you’re a friend of Scott’s, please take comfort in knowing that, all proceeds going to Sameena, will also help Scott because a portion of the funds received will go towards helping out with the operating costs directly related to Get Booked To Book Others and All Addictions Anonymous, which as I’ve already stated, operates out of 10 Lisa Street in Brampton, where both Scott and Sameena now live.

For income tax purposes however, any and all donations made through the above gofund Me page https://gofund.me/54639966 will be considered an honorarium payable directly to Sameena Fernandes to help compensate her for any of the out-of-pocket expenses for All Addictions Anonymous AND Get Booked To Book Others, which includes a portion of the rent at 10 Lisa Street, Brampton, for the purpose of ensuring the good work of Get Booked To Book Others and All Addictions Anonymous continues.
The below medical letters confirm why Dr. Goldberg is advocating so strongly that Scott and Sameena’s ODSP applications get approved.

The GOFund Me page will say $2,082 raised, that was actually the amount that was raised last year through this GoFund Me, so the amount you see does not reflect the present just so you know.
The video below, Sameena talks about WHY Scott had to apply for ODSP (Disability Benefits), AND the fact that he had to apply for ODSP, it has no reflection on his ability to still help people, and continue doing the work he loves to do, including his two hours of Step 12 work every morning
And Scott's doctor strongly believes that it is worth alone for Scott to get on ODSP because his medications have gone up to over 1000 dollars per month, and if Scott is on ODSP, it covers his medications 100 percent where Scott does not have to pay out of pocket for them, which he cannot afford to pay for right now. And the medications is not an option for Scott to take, it is necessary for his day to day functioning and other health reasons.
