My life changed when I joined Paul's group. I was first in the Seven Figure Club, and I have ultimately been in Platinum for nearly 2 years.

I had a low-ticket $29/month membership offer for about 8 years and never got more than about 50 people in the group. I was giving countless hours of my life, and it brought in about $15k-$18k a year.

In the first 12 months with Paul, I learned how to rebuild my educational programming, organize it into a high-ticket offer, and made just over $100k. 7 months into year 2, and I'm at $98k.

My students are extremely happy and feel very well cared for because I learned how to organize my educational materials into a system, and I feel like I have an actual business that competes financially with my gigging income, which has made life as a full-time musician pretty comfortable.

I will say that with anything in life, you get out of it what you put in. This is not a quick fix, get-rich-quick scheme. It's a very well thought-out, highly organized system that requires attention to detail and hard work. It's like learning to play an instrument.

It's not for everyone. If you want to make money without putting in the work, this isn't for you. If you want to build something you're proud of and are willing to treat as a real business, Paul and his team will show you the way.

Paul and the program he’s built have literally transformed my life for the better. I’ve built a 6 figure business that’s on track to become a 7 figure business, as a trombone player. If you want to leverage your skills to have more free time, get paid better, have more rewarding experiences with your students and actually get your students BETTER results at the same time, this is by far the best, fastest and easiest way to do it. The guidance, mentorship and training are second to none. I cannot recommend this program enough. Most of my musician friends end up wanting to learn more because it sounds to good to be true, but it’s actually real and it works and I’m proof of it. If I can do it anyone can - you will not regret working with this program.

Paul and his team are amazing. They truly care and they offer help at every turn. They believe in all of us and our success. I don’t understand how anyone could leave a negative review. Yes, you have to make an investment. Every legitimate business works that way. You can put your trust in Paul and his team. I’m so happy I joined!

These people will NOT stop spamming me with their emails even after I said there was no way I could cough up 10k for “mentoring.” I said listen, I agreed to this zoom call because I am looking to earn and I am low on cash. I don’t have 10k to give you even if I wanted to. I said, how about this-if you think I really need this training that will make me all this money, how about I give you a percentage of what I make with all this supposed extra income you swear I will be making? Crickets. I asked, “so how does this work? People are teaching “groups” music online? Is it a masterclass setting? Can you give me some idea of the structure or testimonials from STUDENTS? Real students, not people who signed up for this program? They could not give me any kind of example. Everyone on here saying this changed their life-how? What does your day look like? Do you have students contacting you and signing up for group classes? How long are these classes? How are these people learning from you? If you are going to go on and on about this “changing your life” how did that happen? By signing other people up for “coaching?” Or are you actually a music teacher. Please. What’s a day in your life look like? If you can’t give me a concrete example of what you are actually doing every day, how am I supposed to believe this is not a pyramid scheme? And if you are so sure I will make 20k a month, I will gladly give you half that first month a then a percentage every month after that. Going on and on about “investing” in myself? To do what? You aren’t even explaining what I would be doing! Lord.

I had a couple of phone calls with these guys. The last guy I spoke with (JS; whom by the way left a positive review here) acted cocky, rude, shady, and kind of like a smart-ass while trying to get $10K from me for this program... Needless to say, I said NO!! No way!! Felt very "scam-ish" to me. And, this guy was trying to coerce $10K out of me. I don't know if he thought he was bullying, or what? No time for that shit!!!

Very detailed lessons helping musicians find a proven way to sell their online music programs. It takes a lot of work, but they are here to support you along the way. They don't just take your money and then have you fend for yourself. They are there to help you every step of the way to get your program up and running and give you all the tools you need for success.

Paul and his team of amazing people have taught me so much about business, about scaling, but most importantly on how to create a scalable value so that everyone wins huge! Thank you Paul

It's been great. Paul + his team are proactive, supportive, and very knowledgeable in the music education high-ticket space. It's not for those who don't want to work hard (this is not a done for you program), but if you're willing to do the work (and you have legit music education to offer the world) they will support you 100%... and the skills you pick up will help you for life.

I'm incredibly thankful I joined Paul's program. Running my own business is incredibly freeing. It takes a lot of work, it's not always easy. But it's so fulfilling and gives me time and purpose I'd never had before. The 2.0 modules added pretty recently are awesome and have been incredibly helpful for me to review. And the fact that you can log in weekly to check in and get advice in this ever-changing field, it's so helpful. You have to show up and work hard to get results. But if you're willing to put in the work, you won't regret it.

Scam and bs. I tried it out for about a year now and it’s a waste of money. They are not helpful at all and very cavalier anytime I ask questions, the person who originally sold me the plan was a jerk, the lessons are mid, and everything is unreasonably expensive. I haven’t felt supported at all since I joined, should have listened to my gut telling me no but I was trying to be open minded.

I’m still early in the program and there’s a whole lot left to cover and apply in my business. But i’ve already learned a ton and received support from Paul and the team. Julie in particular has been very helpful in giving feedback and answering questions on our calls. Good for musicians who need to sharpen their business skills.

Paul and his team are the real deal. Before joining, I spent a lot of time doing everything I could to ensure it was legit, which if you are doing now, I'm telling you that they will follow through on everything they promise with endless amounts of support. The community is truly thriving, as am I since I joined!

Really, I would give more than five stars, if I could. Paul’s company is top-notch at helping me start and succeed at switching my in person music lessons business to an on-line high ticket model. Very satisfied!

Paul and his team are literally PROS at what they do, both from a musical perspective, a coaching perspective, and a business perspective. The only complaint you'll have when joining Paul's program is wishing you had done it sooner! The insight and clarity that is captured by this team is second to none. If you're a music educator, there is NO alternative path towards creating a thriving online music teaching business as effective as this one. Thank you Paul and team!

If I had a dollar for every person in my city (NYC) who told me Paul was a charlatan, I'd have about $50—which would buy me half of a decent dinner here in Manhattan.

But because I didn't listen to them and actually trusted Paul, I made $15,000 within the first 7-14 days of working with him.

Paul's really smart. He knows online marketing inside and out, and he actually cares about getting you real results—not just selling you some pipe dream.

If you get the chance to work with him, jump at it.

Don't listen to the noise. Trust me on this one.

This is the first business coaching group I've participated in that deeply and accurately understands the music teaching business well enough to truly help music educators create successful online coaching businesses. The team at PassionBuilders is second to none with providing students the support, feedback and guidance they need.
I've been part of many business coaching groups that were excellent, but this one has helped my business have the most impact for my my students and myself.
This was the best investment I ever made!

This is not for everyone. If you are a slacker looking for a program that will get you money for doing nothing, this isn't for you. This program is for people who follow instructions and follow through, who know how to commit. I've taken other courses and none teach everything. Paul's program does. From mindset to setting up and maintaining FB ads, they deal with it all. And they have highly skilled coaches who are always putting you first. After Paul made his first program, did he retire? No. He could have, but no. What did he do? He redid the program, 7 Fig 2.0, to be better and more powerful. He's not in it for the money. But I will tell you something. Every single bad review on here is from people who were too lazy to do the work, or gave up. You can't base your conclusions on their experience. But be warned. This is not for lazy people who give up easily. You will be challenged and you will receive the help you need if you ask for it. Don't sign up, goof off, and then cram in the last month. You will get nowhere.

I have known Paul personally for two decades and have joined his mastermind after I have seen him go “from rags to riches”. 7 figure entrepreneurs is very much the real deal and will only work for you if you are a dedicated and honest worker. There is no room for fluff and really have to believe in yourself. I would and do recommend this program to many friends and colleagues as well.

Complaint against Passion Builders Online / Paul Nowell (Paul the Trombonist)

I signed up for Paul Nowell’s “7 Figure Entrepreneurs Club” program in August 2023. The agreement required a payment of $9,800 (discounted from $15,000) for one year of access. After attending only a few sessions, I realized the program was not a good fit for me and requested a refund within the first month.

I was shocked to learn that the contract contained a strict no-refund clause, even if very little of the program had been used. This was never clearly explained in my initial call. The contract also required that I pay the full balance whether or not I continued participating. When I asked for a refund, I was reminded that I was legally obligated to pay.

Later, I was told I had an outstanding balance of $4,900. Instead of pursuing me for this amount, they offered to waive it as “a gesture of goodwill.” While I appreciate that, it underscores the inflexibility and harshness of their policies.

The material I did encounter in the program was concerning. Much of the training promoted manipulative sales tactics, such as creating fake urgency (“limited spots” when there were not), inflating prices to create “scholarships,” and using misleading pitches. While they position these strategies as marketing, I believe they encourage dishonesty with clients.

In my opinion, this business operates in a way that may be legally covered by their contract but is not transparent, fair, or ethical. I regret enrolling and would strongly caution others to read the fine print before considering any involvement.

This program is the best online training for musicians and music teachers who want to create an amazing platform to help others achieve their musical goals. The level of support from the staff and other members is incredible. Paul genuinely cares about the success of all the members.
