And the winners are.....

Eben Pagan has announced the winners for the scholarships to the Ignition program. More than 450 people applied and in his generous manner Eben offered not three but ten scholarships.
The chosen ones and the reasons for Eben’s choices are presented on this link:

The receivers of the scholarship are 4 women and six men. I think this is interesting as I believe that of the 450 applicants less than 100 were women. I do not know if gender was something that Eben took in consideration but it doesn’t matter. Personally, by looking at the top people in Internet Marketing, I think that there is plenty of space for more women.

Eben did a great job in clearly explaining why he chose these individuals, and I think that his choices say a lot about his values.

I wish I was one of the winners but it seems that I messed up and I missed that there was an earlier deadline for applying than what I thought was the deadline. My application was not taken in consideration I believe, because it is not published among the other applications on the Ignition blog. So for me there is at least one lesson to learn in this. It is good to wait, just don’t wait too long…. Another lesson is: Ask if things are not clear….

Well… I am disappointed but…

Congratulations to the winners! I wish you all SUCCESS!

Personally I will follow Eben’s advice for those who haven’t been chosen: I will stay committed to my goals and visions!
