I just wanted to check in and say I loved the Chaos Planning > Design Clarity > Brain Audit > Design Conversion
I think you’re the only one who really talks about consumption, Sequencing, and creating a really good experience for the customer.
I really loved how Dartboard Pricing helped me clarify my product lines – I used to have all my products at the same price but now I got the idea to build add-ons/DLCs after someone got a product, like video games do. That should be pretty fun and allow me to also sell a premium course.
I spent the last 3 months in complete chaos. Tons of things happened to me and that completely messed up my way of working. Now, I understand that it couldn’t really be avoided, and that I should plan for it in the future.

Why I joined 5000bc
I joined 500bc because I like what I heard from Sean’s podcasts.
It’s quite specific for my struggles and also, contrarian.
The advice on the internet is so repetitive, boring, and not working. Yet, Psychotactics is refreshing.
About scarcity… I am smiling, because I’ve bought about 4 courses since August or so, and one more today.
I’m not ready for all of them. I’m sort of laying out a project roadmap now, to see where they fit with what I want to create.
Why did I buy?
Because I don’t want to have to wait another year for them. The prospect of not being able to get them, when I really like working with the Psychotactics material and they address the things I want to know. So I bought this whole delicious multi-course meal, but I’m going to eat it course by course over the next 6 months.
Thankfully, the dishes are shelf-stable!
Knowing that Sean and all the cave folk are here ongoing to help me, not just in some course-work timeframe, made it “safe” to buy the courses and consume them over time. Oh, and a note- I’m sort of using all of them at once, but focusing on one more than another at different points.

About The Three Month Vacation Podcast
The Three Month Vacation podcast is extremely informative and genuine: an aspect which has drawn me closer to your business.
I hope inside 5000bc, members truly replicate genuineness for others as I will.
Based on my experience so far, I am cheerleader of Psychotactics.
Your model of morality is what is missing from many business.
Thank you!
Sean (yes I’m Sean. My mother loved Sean Connery as James Bond).

About Psychotactics Teaching and Courses
I’ve studied Sales & Marketing for decades, and I’ve never come across a teacher as tenacious as Sean D’Souza. He simply insists that his students grasp the material.
Frankly, it seems a little obsessive. For example, he can’t just provide an excellent series of audios and a fill-in-the-blank worksheet. No, he has to write a companion book – not a transcript – to reinforce the material.
Sean knows all the excuses for avoiding the difficulty of learning, and he systematically destroys them one by one. Nowhere is this illustrated better than in The Brain Alchemy course.
– Too complicated? He breaks it down into manageable chunks.
– Overwhelmed with the amount of information? He presents the material piece by piece, building a structure of understanding, one concept at a time.
– Concepts seem fuzzy? He uses relatable stories and illustrations to make the learning stick. Like the one about the burglar alarm salesman or the guy who “just mows lawns.”
– Or, perhaps my favorite excuse of all: It costs too much! That’s where the brain audit comes in…
How does free sound? (Remember what I said about him being a little obsessive?)
The first time I listened to this program and read the accompanying 87 page book, I thought, “Hmmm. I’ve been making things far too difficult for myself and my efforts are scattered across the horizon.”
The second time I listened to it, I began to see a path. I shared it with my team and we agreed to get on that path together. We’re developing an ebook and an online product.
I can’t wait to see what I learn on the third pass.
I’ve read countless books and taken dozens of courses over the years, and even got to know some successful leaders. Too often I’ve found myself impressed with the brilliance of their material, but unable to express it in my life and work by applying it.
The Brain Alchemy course is brilliant, not just the content and delivery, but also in the way Sean shrewdly insists that you apply it. And provides the tools for you to do so.
About Psychotactics:
I’d also say that I tell people that you are like a creative marketing engineer. When Seth Godin speaks or writes, I think “This is brilliant, but I’m not sure what to do with it.” With your stuff, I always know what I’m going to do.
About the Information Products Workshop
________________________________________
This was my first workshop being self-employed. However, I can compare it to workshops on similar topics when I was working at my 9-5.
The workshops I usually know are a bit “tied-up”. Everything is work focused and usually, they are very draining. Sean’s workshop was the opposite. It was such an incredibly relaxed and comfy environment and for some reason, he exactly spotted the right time when to wrap it up for the day and continue the next morning.
And obviously, the dinners in the evening and the massive amounts of time you guys did spend with the group were amazing.
I learned a new way of thinking about information products. Sean managed to get a lot of overwhelming outside of me and gave me a framework that I am now confident to work with.
Personally, I find it very important to get tiny successes while trying something new. Those tiny successes (even if they are tiny) keep me moving forward. And the framework Sean gave us does exactly that. It helps me to go tiny steps that help me build up the necessary confidence to execute on my ideas.
This workshop has helped me to recognize that I am overcomplicating a lot (which probably almost all of us do). I think many courses or content on the internet try to make topics unnecessarily complicated just in order to make people buy even more information.
The tiny experiment with drawing a whale and how you might start a business with that new found skill within just 1-2 days blew my mind.
Overall the workshop will help me to (finally) execute.
When I heard Sean and Renuka were coming to Munich I didn’t even care what the topic was. The only concern for me was price since I am still in the earlier stages of my business, but thanks to the payment plan this obstacle could be overcome quite easily.
I recommend the workshop to anyone who wants to start getting better with expressing her/his ideas online (or even offline). There are so many great people with great skills and ideas but are overwhelmed with all the concepts and ways on how to get them “onto paper”.
Anyone who wants a simple but incredibly effective way of packaging information to an audience they care about.
I already recommended Sean’s material to many of my friends and many of them have bought The Brain Audit. Usually its those kinds of people that know more than they think they do but lack the confidence to move forward and express it.
I would never recommend Sean’s material to a “get-rich-quick” kind of person or a person who likes to “show off”. Because I know they would neither appreciate the content nor would Sean want such people in his workshops.
Looking forward to Amsterdam and many more workshops in the future. Thanks for some incredible days Sean and Renuka. You guys are just awesome.

About the Information Products Workshop
________________________________________
The difference with other workshops I’ve done is huge. Those workshops were boring in comparison with the Infoproduct course. The teachers were sharing too much information and afterwards I was often more confused than sure what to do. Sometimes they did it on purpose (I presume) just to sell me more.
– This is what I learned at this workshop.
The strenght of tiny steps became even more clear then it was already. In one day we ‘only’ visited two subjects. But by doing that, the rest of the course had a firm base and my understanding was big.
There were several eye-openers in the course. Things of which you say afterwards: ‘I could have thought of that’. But I didn’t. The day I got home I started to think of products that could form a ‘front catalogue’. And that will keep me developing content. Else I would have stopped because I thought it wouldn’t work for me.
I’m more motivated than before to create content. And enjoy the process. Which is the most important thing to remind myself of.
I didn’t hesitate one moment of going to the workshop. The moment I knew Sean and Renuka would be in Europe I signed in.
Even though I’ve already done the Infoproduct course online. By attending the live workshop I feel like there a whole new layer formed around the concept. I feel less mechanical in the process of making the infoproduct. More loose and free to add creative twists.
I would recommend this workshop to people who want to create in depth ánd fun to read ebooks. Not ebooks that are full of information overwhelm, but books that are practical and help the reader a step further in his business or live.
If you’ve not yet done a workshop with Sean I strongly recommend doing it.
Besides a well balanced amount of information you also get all different kinds of lessons that are applicable in your business.

Other workshops that I have gone for cram as much material into it as possible. The Psychotactics workshop was different.
Sean presented only a very moderate amount of concepts. But he did it in a way that made those concepts really sink. And this approach gave me the time to really apply the learning to my own situation.
I learned how to find topics, that all topics can be connected and that any random choice works for creating a info product. I learned how to the elements of a good info product and how to structure them. And we talked about pre-sell and why it is important.
What I also learned is how to pace a workshop perfectly and how impactful it is when the moderator can read the energy in the room and adapt breaks and exercises to it.
The course helped me to lose the fear of not writing about the right topic or in the right order. I don‘t have to search for the perfect structure anymore but I can start producing. I also learned that deeply enjoying the act of creating the info product is super powerful.
Having a WhatsApp group long before helped to feel more relaxed when coming to the workshop. And while I didn‘t attend any dinners I saw how the group grew very strong. This was super helpful in the workshop as we didn‘t have to waste energy to navigate a unknown group of people.
Would I recommend this workshop?
Yes, this was by far the best run workshop I have experienced so far. I came out relaxed and inspired instead of tired and overloaded. Everyone who needs to convey complex information to others would profit from this workshop.

– Is there anything else you would like to add?
Thanks a lot Renuka and Sean for making this such an enjoyable and valuable three days!
About the Information Products Workshop
________________________________________
In a Psychotactics workshop ALL is structured to work in total relaxation. This doesn’t mean it’s not hard working. It’s well working because without pressure.
I learned that to create a powerful info-products it has to be elegant.
You have an elegant info-product when you’re focusing on 3 topics only.
The workshop is a confirmation that Sean’s ideas and methodology are evergreen. In +10 years I consumed and read his materials I realized that all is reduced to simplicity that gives effectiveness as result.
I would recommend a Psychotactics workshop?
Because of a lot of things.
First of all because it works.
Then because of
– we finish around at 16 o’clock
– no midnight sessions
– extra goodies
– launches and dinners
– Sean’s accessibility: he’s not a guru. He go straight to the point and immediately gives you the best answer he can provide at the moment of your question.
See you next year. 🙂

About the Information Products Workshop
________________________________________
Compared to other workshops, this one totally focused on learning a system.
A system how to produce content for any media. Most workshops I know provide a bunch of writing tactics, but skip the most intimidating part of actually doing the required preparation work to ease content creation.
The most important insight was that you can connect more or less any idea to any idea, so it makes it much easier to come up with useful topics.
The workshop helped me to simplify my thought process in selecting topics and connecting them in a meaningful way.
At first, it felt a bit weird to just select topics randomly and connect them afterwards. However, when you trust the system, the individual pieces will make a consistent piece of content after all.
I would recommend the workshop for all content creators, who have too many ideas and doubts on what might work or not, and therefore never start actually producing content.
The workshop was a lot of fun, with great mutual support between all participants. It was less tiring than any other workshop I have attended to so far.

About The Landing Page | Sales Page Workshop
I learned a super clear strategy and plan for making effective sales pages.
It’s something that will work no matter what you’re selling.
And it doesn’t take two weeks to implement. It could take you as little as a few days to create. It’s pretty genius to be honest. There’s no way I could have reverse engineered this myself. Very very good information. And an excellent system.
It has empowered me in my own sales process and in being able to help others.
Yes, definitely I was hesitant to join the workshop. I wasn’t sure about going all the way to Texas to take a marketing workshop. In the end, it was worth it. It was nice to be “forced” to learn something within such a small time frame.
I can really let self-study courses drag on for a while and a half. So it was nice to cram it all in.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants a clear and easy-to-follow sales page strategy.
Colette Nichol
About The Landing Page | Sales Page Workshop
I’ve been to lots of workshops, both good and not-so-good. This workshop was one of the finest I’ve been to.
I’ve enjoyed learning through online courses, am in 5000BC, etc. and knew I wanted to go to a live event. My expectations for the landing page workshop were exceedingly high, due to the fantastic experiences I’d already had.
This workshop exceeded even my sky-high expectations. Why?
Fun! We all enjoyed each other, and even though many of us had not met or corresponded before. Sean and Renuka seem to attract great people, and we all laughed and learned together.
Space. Not just physical space, but learning space. We had lots of breaks sprinkled through the day. We could get up and get snacks, chat a bit, and let what we learned “marinate.”
Structure. Sean’s organization of the material and how he presents it make each little bit “snackable.” Sean can break down the complicated into comprehensible tiny tasks. We were able to create a landing page, tiny step by tiny step.
Safety. No question was “stupid.” We could make mistakes and ask questions, without the fear of embarrassment.
What did you learn?
I tend to make things more complicated than they need to be. I had been out of the habit of really drilling down to my “one word” and sticking to one idea/concept at a time. Working with Sean again in a small group and individually helped me begin to get back on track.
I’ve also found that my own teaching becomes clearer after I experience Sean “in action.” Our philosophies and styles seem to compliment each other. I always learn new tips and tweaks to bring to my work.
This course has dramatically changed me!
I was frustrated, and not sure how exactly to move forward with my book. Because of this workshop, I changed my goal. I now realize I was trying to do too much in one book, and am breaking down the information into 3 books plus a parent guide. I now have a clear path forward.
I’d recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to create a landing page that shows the strengths of the product they’re selling without “blah-blah” or outrageous claims. You’ll learn how to tell your product’s story so your customers can’t wait to buy it.
Renuka–I am so glad I got to meet you and Sean. It seemed like I already knew you. 🙂 Looking forward to more laughs in Frankfurt.
Warmly,

About The Landing Page | Sales Page Workshop
I learned that there is a system/formula that can be applied for the sales page. Slowly add info to a process and communicate at the workshop vs an info dump.
I now don’t have to rely on someone else for my landing page.
I would recommend this workshop—any self employed person would benefit. Because they will have better control of their business destiny.
Joe Hruban
About The Landing Page | Sales Page Workshop
I haven’t been following Psychotactics as long as most of the other workshop participants, so I was a little intimidated coming into the workshop.
As it turns out, I didn’t need to worry – Sean breaks down everything into such tiny parts that even a total novice could be successful.
The other workshop participants were kind and encouraging, too. Definitely a supportive and non-competitive environment.
We didn’t just learn theory – we really learned a step-by-step way for making landing pages.
I’ve already done 4 landing pages and it’s been 3 days since the workshop ended! Before the workshop I absolutely could not have produced so much content so quickly – and some of the pages are already converting at a much higher rate than old pages.
Compared to other workshops I’ve been to, this was a more relaxed environment.
We weren’t rushing through the material or locked in a conference room all day. We had plenty of breaks and time to really digest and absorb the material – plus time to put it into action in our own businesses.
Mariel Heiss
About The Landing Page | Sales Page Workshop
I’ve been to big seminar events, mansion masterminds, hotel workshops. But this was the best of them all.
Hotels have never worked out good for me. Mansion masterminds tend to become more of a party and it’s very easy to lose focus. But this concept of renting an airbnb workshop style venue really set the tone for the 3 days.
I instantly felt relaxed and put me in a learning mode. Also, it was very “unique”, and I know that’s something Sean strives for. 🙂
I learned the psychology of a proper landing page and had a big mindset shift. All the little nuances that Sean teaches really stick in your mind and put you in a position to implement them immediately.
Going into this event, I knew I had a fascination and admiration for the way Sean and Renuka lived there life.
I love the whole concept of working for yourself, building amazing content, then being able to travel the world while giving a workshop in those areas. Make money, have fun, meet people, see the world.
It’s brilliant and it makes sense why Sean calls his podcast “3 Month Vacation”.
He practices what he preaches.
Well, now I know for a fact I have a desire to live that “3 Month Vacation” lifestyle and I want to work hard and implement what I’ve learned from the workshop along with Sean’s other courses.
I’ve had a bad habit of being a digital dust junkie. Meaning I buy products then fail to implement. That’s why it was very important for me to come to this event, meet Sean, meet other students and get motivated.
Sometimes the internet marketing world gets lonely and boring being trapped behind a computer all day. This is the type of event I needed to really get myself going.
I was motivated by the people I met and the path that brought everyone there.
I would have been more hesitant if I had to fly to a foreign country to attend an event but since it was in my home state and just required a 5-hour drive (which I was listening to Sean’s Uniqueness course the entire way), it put me at ease and I was just really excited about finally attending one.
I will say I didn’t come very prepared. My month was so rough that I didn’t even remember to bring and treats for everyone or a gift. That’s not like me at all.
I have multiple ventures I’m working on and have a hard time prioritizing my schedule and let my business partner compromise my time.
I should have been a lot more prepared and I think Sean realized right away I was not sure what I wanted to focus on. The next time I attend an event you will see vast improvements and treats!
Sean is hands down one of the best educators in the business.
Learning from him I believe is worth more then a 4-year college education and will make you more too. I just wish I had met him sooner when I was younger and had more to look forward to than I do now. But it’s never too late =)
I had a lot of negativity from people close to me as to why I’d spend so much on an event, and how do I know if anyone has
actually succeeded with Sean’s teachings.
Those people sometimes I feel I need to remove from my life, but it’s not that easy.
People don’t know what they don’t know and are just trying to be protective, but sometimes its very agitating. And business
partners will always look down on someone trying to break away and learn things on their own.
My home situation and the demands of having to take care of my family really set me back personally and professionally. I feel like I am always behind the 8 ball and can’t seem to be more vocal about the things I need to get ahead.
I know I am smart, have a lot of information and experience, but I’ve never been able to put it all together and it’s frustrating.
With that said, it’s why I HAD to be at this workshop because I knew it would be life changing and it was. I needed a person I respect that I can start to model myself after.
So many things happen for a reason and I can tie it all back to my father’s death. Had that not happened, I wouldn’t have had
to be the man of the house, go back to work, get a job, finally save enough money to pursue my online dreams, subscribe to
Mike Dillard’s group, where someone mentioned Ben Settle, subscribe to Ben’s newsletter and listen to him and Jonathan rave on
their podcast about some Sean D’Souza fella in New Zealand (which obviously I felt an instant connection with my NZ/Indian ties).
It was a chain of events that finally led me to the right mentor, and I finally got to meet him, and I hope that was the final piece to put
all this together for me and take me to the next level.
Well, that was a mouthful and probably more than you needed =)
Thanks, Sean and Renuka, it was an immense pleasure and look forward to meeting again.
Regards,
Nicholas Lal
About The Landing Page | Sales Page Workshop
This is the first time I have ever set aside time to attend a workshop unrelated to medicine. However, I was so eager to attend to get to meet Sean and Renuka and discover whether the accolades are all true. (They unequivocally are!)
Sean and Renuka have a special way of connecting with people. Attending a Psychotactics workshop is a remarkable experience. You get so much more than just helpful information.
You learn a skill through ‘layered learning’ by learning a sequence of ‘tiny steps’ and then applying them to your own personal business.
This ‘crescendo effect’ continues to re-enforce what you have learned much like a snowball rolling down hill. You are not just ‘hearing things’ but instead also actually ‘doing things’ by working alone and together to apply the concepts Sean teaches you. His teachings quickly become second nature to you.
You also make new friends.
And enjoy spending time with them on walks, at the workshop, as well as during lunches and dinners. It’s an immersive experience. This allows everyone to continually ask questions of Sean (and each other) to further their understanding and simply have fun. How often do you leave a meeting and feel sad it’s over?
I believe Sean is a genius.
He has an uncanny ability to deconstruct the complexities of writing (and communicating) and see the elements within. He then teaches you how to reconstruct them in a way that is both simple and effective. Simple, not complex. Effective because he understands how people think. He is an remarkable teacher who is passionate about your learning. He makes sure you don’t just understand the concepts but more importantly you learn how to apply them (the skill).
How has this course changed you?
Sean took the daunting task of creating a landing page and made it simple. He taught us how to quickly brainstorm to generate the data needed for all the elements. Then he taught us how to re-assemble all the elements in the right sequence to engage and educate those who are interested in learning more.
I now know how to quickly and effectively put together a landing page. (What a relief!)
I had no hesitation in attending. In fact, I rearranged my schedule as soon as I became aware of the workshop date to ensure I would not miss it.
I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who struggles with putting together a landing page (which is likely everyone who hasn’t been to Sean’s course already). Since the landing page is where people ‘land’ when they first see your website after searching for what you offer, doesn’t it make sense to always want to make the best first impression?
Thank you Sean and Renuka for making the great effort to travel across the world and allow us to get to know you both personally. I am deeply indebted and forever grateful.
