Paulthetrombonist Reviews 31

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.

I've greatly enjoyed working with Paul and everyone on his team. Their guidance has been transformative. Follow what they say, put it into practice, and you're in for extraordinary results.

This is the real deal. Really life changing program. If you are on the fence? Have no fear.

Paul and his team are absolutely phenomenal! They have the wisdom and experience you NEED if you are a music educator! I would highly, highly recommend you go to them to grow your music teaching career!

So thorough, and Paul is a master at online marketing. As a creative, it's been fantastic to find a place where I can learn so effectively and have a step-by-step process to create success and substantial income from my own talents and abilities. Also, the support team is fantastic, Julie and Joseph. Overall 10/10 highly recommend!

Paul the Trombonist and his team have been instrumental in helping me develop my online violin course. Their support, expertise, and clear roadmap made the process smooth and achievable. I joined in October and made my first sale by November! This has been the best investment I’ve made in myself, and I’m incredibly grateful to be part of such a positive and inspiring community of musicians and entrepreneurs. If you’re looking to start your own online music course, I highly recommend them!

I started with Paul in Oct. 2024. His mentoring is one of the best training and personal development experiences I have ever had. This is the real deal, and I am very picky about integrity and honoring your word. Paul honors his word. The team he has assembled, along with the resources available to support my success, are superior to those of anyone else.

I’ve tried other programs (making the same claims as Paul) with big promises and zero customer service. They called themselves “mentors” and “coaches”. Unfortunately for me, they were cold-hearted and only good at taking my money. I have everything I need and more. I have REAL personal mentoring times and complete access to every tool necessary to make the money Paul promises. It’s easy to understand; we have fun, and I've become the best version of myself in the process.

People criticize what they don’t understand. I am amazed by the constant upgrading, updating, and improvements being made to the program. This is not an outdated video course created years ago and then overused. Paul makes it personal, adapting to your individual needs and experiences.

I fully appreciate the camaraderie and spirit of this group of masters. There is wisdom in this group. I was exhausted from searching for life-changing, profitable solutions for my piano teaching business on my own. I ran out of hours in the day and days of the week. I needed to figure out how to give myself a raise and make the money I knew I was worth. Paul got me there. Now, even other piano teachers want to know how I have achieved the amazing successes I am now experiencing.

I highly recommend Paul the Trombonist to anyone willing to make a commitment and ready for the best training of their life!

This team is full-service! You get the tools, guidance and coaching you need to make your business successful! I had been working on making my online business work and just had trickling low ticket sales for close to a decade, and within the first month after joining Paul and his team, I made my first high-ticket sale! Within two months of running paid traffic, I had a $19k month!!!

My experience with Paul the Trombonist has been nothing short of life-changing. From day one, I felt supported by a team that truly cares. You’re guided every step of the way, and the process works—if you’re willing to put in the effort.

I’ve always wanted to own my own business, and now I do. With Paul’s mentorship, I built something from the ground up, and there’s nothing more gratifying than knowing it’s mine. What’s even more meaningful is that I now get to help other musicians through my work—something I’ve always wanted to do, but didn’t know how to turn into a business until now.

The skills I’ve gained, the mindset shift, and the clarity around my purpose have all been priceless. This isn’t a magic shortcut—it’s real, with real results. For me, it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made.
