Winner Announcement of the "Life! By Design Contest" By Tom Ferry
This past weekend at RainCamp LA, the winners were announced of the "Life By Design Contest" that was being promoted over on Bob Stewarts Blog Post. It was announced on Saturday that Tom Ferry's Book "Life By Design" is now a National Top Seller ranking #4 in the Nation.
Congratulations Tom, and thank you for joining us and speaking at RainCamp in Los Angeles. We have received great responses from all those who attended, and your presentation was over the top! We were honored to have Tom Ferry as a part of the RainCamp LA event. Tom's humor, insights, stories and content was "Top Shelf!" We have a good suspicion that the "Life! By Design" book will soon be the #1 National BEST Seller. Why, because Tom said so, and if you know Tom, then you know he's going to make it happen!
So here's a repeat of the contest description and rules:
THE CONTEST:
1. Read the preview chapter of the book found here: Chapter 4, The Problem of No Problems
2. Choose one of the following exercises and write a 300-500 word blog post about your experience with the exercise.
(**completing the exercise itself, doesn't qualify you for the challenge. You need to have a 300-500 word blog post about your experience with the exercise. What did you learn? Did you realize something you had previously been ignoring? Did this bit of reflection cause you to want to get more introspective? You get the idea, right? Get something out of the exercise and share it with us)
- The exercise on page 39 of the excerpt
- The exercise that starts on page 46 and goes to page 48. Pick one of the three areas: Professional, Lifestyle, or Health and Vitality and complete the exercise for that section
- The exercise on page 54 (pick one question and write 300-500 words for one question or feel free to pick more than one question and submit smaller answers to multiple questions in one post)
3. Blog posts should include 'My LIFE! By DESIGN' somewhere in the title of the post.
4. At the footer of your post, please include this (including the picture):

The contest will end on April 23rd at Noon Central Time. Any posts written after that will not be eligible for the points or the prizes. Each post will be given one entry in the drawing for these great prizes. We will announce the date of the drawing soon, but it will be shortly after the conclusion of the challenge.
(RainCamp LA was the chosen place and time for the contest drawing!)
THE WINNERS!!
Now I could just list the names and what they won, but watching the actual drawing seems so much more exciting and something that everyone would probably enjoy more. So here it is, a live recording of the drawing which took place backstage at RainCamp LA with Tom Ferry, myself, Lauren Bernstein, Doug Ching, and Jon Washburn as witnesses to its authenticity.
Congratulations once again to Tom Ferry, and to ALL the winners of the contest, especially the "winner" of the New iPad. I have to admit that I was a bit jealous, and had I not been doing the video recording for this post, I think I could have out-run everyone there. I could actually visualize and see myself snatching up and running off with one of Tom's books and the new iPad he was sporting for this drawing! lol~
Congratulations to all the winners!!!
Brad,
i watched the video, very cool. And number 4? Not bad, not bad at all. What else you have up your sleeve?
Fun way to share the winners - great to hear the names of people I "know" on AR. Congratulations to all!

This was the first time I have heard Tom Ferry speak. He was absolutely awesome. I bought two copies of his book and I can't wait to hear him teach again!
I've been a member of By Referral Only for about 7-8 years now and I wouldn't change a thing. As a loyal studen of Joe's you can understand why I never gave Tom the time of day.
My mistake. He is awesome too. Don't miss his seminar. I'm trying to figure out how I can go myself!!!
Brad,
Thanks for the results. This was an obvious benefit for everyone involved!

Good Job Brad, Enjoyed the video presentation and Congratulations to all the Winners. I am waiting for the next edition of the iPad because they are going to be improving and I am told it will most likely have a cam, and some new features that will make it indespenable for real estate. The cam could be useful if you can hold it still enough, LOL.
Congratulations to all the winners including our local winners Al and Peggy Cunningham in Brampton, Ontario (part of the Greater Toronto Area)!!!
It's awesome for Tom to get to #4 - Congratulations! The Power of Active Rain!
Another shining example of what a powerful network Ar is! Congrats to ll the winners!
Brad,
I am so excited for the winners! Tom's video was a great way to announce them.
Brad, thanks for posting the winners in the video. And Congratulations to all the winners.
Nice cool way to announce the winners and congratulations to all the winners.
Congrats to all, but did anyone recieve their points yet?
Congratuilations to all the winners! Great job posting this as a "live" drawing rather than just a list of the winners Brad!
Congratulations to all and William will be quite surprised "later today."
William IS going to be pleasantly surprised when he watches the video. Congratulations go out to all who even entered as this was a great exercise and hopefully we all learned by participating!
I'd never heard of Tom Ferry until Lee & Pamela St.Peter did a post on him and the contest. I just got my copy of Life By Design and I'm so looking forward to reading it. Congrats to all the winners!
Lloyd - All the points will be distributed to all the winning members who participated sometime today or tomorrow. :-)
This was very exciting watching the draw for the winners. We are all winners by participating and learning from Tom Ferry. Great "booty" call, Tom!
Loved the video announcement of the winners. Actually, we're all winners because of what we learned from doing the exercises.
Great video announcement, and congratulations to the winners. Congrats to Tom on his book being a best seller.
Unbelievable... that's all we can say... and of course thank you Tom Ferry & ActiveRain! IF anyone has a doubt about what this community can and DOES do - please have them call me. Again, I can't stop smiling!!!
Pamela
Copngrats to the winners...did you guys really write down all the names of all the entires and put them in that bag?
When do we get our points and tickets and MP3? Looking forward to it.
THanks guys,
Tamara
It was really fun to watch Tom Ferry announce the winners in the video! Congrats to all! I am currently reading Tom's book and I feel completely justified in recommending it to anyone, it's a good read, infused with personality! I give it a
!
Hello: Good to see somebody one. I didn't enter this contest, because I am not sure I want to know who designed my life! =)
Brad - I think Tom is even more personable in person! Great job & congrats to all the winners.
Congrats to all the winners

Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to say again CONGRATS to all those who participated in the blog contest ... and for taking the time to read the chapter ... or maybe just contemplating the exercises! Well done, all of the way around!
My hats off to Jon, Brad, Lauren and Brad and the entire AR team who made this contest come to life! The AR team is one sharp group and quick to take action! Awesome! It was super cool to reach into that bag and see SO many names as well as read your blogs.
For all of you who I had the pleasure of meeting in LA over this weekend at Rain Camp, remember what we talked about ... "Level 10 baby!" I am looking forward to seeing a lot of you at the Summit!
Now let's all go out and kick some "booty"!!!
TF
P.S. For all of you winners ... My team should be mailing out the prizes on Friday, once I sign the books that I have with me, since I am out of the office until Thursday!
Watching that was fun! And a copy of the book, too? Wow, I am truly blessed, as are all of the winners, and the participants! Congratulations to all again! P.S. I'll forgive the use of the forbidden name....
Tom - We're honored to have had you stop by and comment! You're a class act my friend, the door here to the "Rain","Camps", and my Office are always open to you! Mi Casa Tu Casa~ YES, LEVEL 10 Baby!!!
Congrats to Lee & Pamela for winning the iPad and all the other winners!
Brad (and ActiveRain) - Thanks for setting this up and as I said in my post, I hate Tom Ferry (for those that didn't read my post, I don't really hate him). Tom's been a great guy to connect with in bits and pieces here and there via Twitter and ActiveRain. I didn't know much about him, but have come to like him and look forward to each time I hear from him. Now of course, I won something from him, so I like him even more. (I can be bribed it seems.)
Tom - As always thanks for being active and (more importantly) interactive - even with those of us who haven't been a part of your coaching or didn't know much about you. To me, that already puts you above most of the coaches, systems, gurus, swamis, and ninjas. I look forward to seeing what my coaching experience is like...I've never had any official coaching (other than an awesome broker and great friends in the real estate business I can turn to when I need to ask questions), so I'll be curious to see how it affects me and what results I can achieve with it.
To the winners - Congratulations. I think this is a contest where I would have been cool with any of the prizes.
To everyone who entered - Congratulations. You may not of won a prize, but I bet you took away something good, I know I did.
And with that, I walk away from the podium and end my acceptance speech.
Hi Brad~ I think it is wonderful that all of these people have gotten to win. Congratulations to all!
That ipad sure has my attention. I like the way it fires up without a long delay to use in listing presentations. I wonder if it works with our MLS in the DC area?
Great Contest. What a great book. Scheduled to see Tom in August at the Event in Anaheim. Anyone else attending?
Howdy and evenin there Brad
Congrats to all the winners of the Life By Design contest!!!
Congrats to all who won....OK - I know points don't count - but when do the rest of us get our points???
That Ipad is sorely tempting - I can imagine the possibilities for listing presentations.
Congratulations to the Tom Ferry winners. Please remember me at referral time.
Matt- very cool of you to write. Game on! That's all I gotta say.
This is a great way to announce the winners, and I have to say I envy Karen.
Congrats...
To all the winners. Seriously, you all did a wonderful job.
If I hadn't already designed my life, I'd have to sit down and have a talk with Tom :)
TLW...ROAR!
TLW- We can always chat, designed life already or not! :)

Lol...
It's so easy to get you going :)
TLW...ROAR!
I am wondering if Lee & Pamela want to share that iPad with me :)
Congratulations to the winners. Thank you for the contest. I learned a lot from the posts.
