Customer Care FAQs

Thank you for your interest in our courses and products! :)

Please read through the questions first before contacting support. If you can’t find your answer here, please contact us via the form at the bottom of the page!

Pre-Sales

All our prices are in USD.

We offer direct payment by credit or debit card. As long as you have an international credit or debit card, you’ll be able to make payment on our checkout page.

All products at PE are in digital format and it is a deliberate decision as part of being green. With the digital format, you get to download the material right away and easily access the product across devices, and it also reduces our carbon footprint on the planet.

Some customers prefer having a hard copy for 30DLBL/30BBM, and they do this by bringing the downloaded PDF files to a printing shop and creating a hardbound book. You are welcome to do that! If you do so, please ensure that only one copy is printed for your personal use as per our Terms of Use and this material is not shared with others.

Since Feb 2018, all our courses come with complimentary access to a courses portal. Our portal is mobile responsive and loads on mobile devices and desktops. If you are using a modern smartphone or tablet, you should be able to access the portal without issue!

If you’re purchasing 30DLBL or 30BBM, it comes with PDF and DOC files. As long as your device has software that can open these file formats, you will be able to open the course files. If not, simply download software that can open these file formats. A simple search on Google or in your device app store should show you the software to open such file formats.

Please refer to our individual FAQs for 30DLBL and 30BBM:

After Purchase

After you make payment, our server automatically generates a confirmation receipt to the email entered during checkout. This email has the subject: “Personal Excellence: Invoice XXXXX” and has the instructions to access your product.

If you didn’t receive an email from us after 30 minutes, there are three possibilities:

  1. The mail went into your spam folder.
  2. Your inbox is full, causing emails to bounce.
  3. There was a typo in your email address during checkout.

Most of the customers who report not receiving any email usually have it in their spam folder. Please check your spam folder.

If you don’t receive any email from us after 30 minutes and there’s nothing in your spam folder, please contact us via the contact form below with (1) The name of the product you purchased, (2) Your full name used during checkout, and (3) The email address used during checkout. We will look into it asap and get you sorted out!

If you purchased 30DLBL/30BBM before Feb 1, 2018, the product was provided via download with a download limit and expiry date. We always recommend all customers to back up their files to prevent unexpected data loss.

We have since done major updates for 30DLBL/30BBM and no longer offer the old versions whether for sale or download reactivation. The new version for each course comes with an expanded guidebook (increase from 200 pages to over 300 pages), a revised workbook, and an online members portal to do the course (for as long as it is available). If you lost your copy, you can upgrade to the new version for just US$10 per course or US$20 for both courses. The latest version for 30DLBL/30BBM was updated in January 2024 and it is the fourth edition.

Contact us via the form below with the subject “30DLBL Upgrade” (or “30BBM Upgrade”) and include (a) your past transaction ID, (b) email used during purchase, and (c) the date you purchased the product. We will send you the link for payment and access!

If you bought 30DLBL/30BBM after Jan 1, 2024, you should have received an email with instructions to create your account and access the course right after payment. Go to the course portal to access your course anytime.

If you bought 30DLBL/30BBM before Jan 1, 2024 (and after Feb 1, 2018), we have migrated our courses portal to a different system. We have also updated 30DLBL/30BBM as part of our continual improvement of our courses, so it’s a great chance to revisit it and do a new run by yourself or with a friend or family!

Contact us via the form below with the subject “30DLBL New Portal Access” or “30BBM New Portal Access” and include (a) your invoice number, (b) email used during purchase, and (c) the date you purchased the product. We will get you set up!

Our courses usually come with worksheets or an activity book for you to record your results as you work through the course. These materials have been formatted for printing, so you can simply print them if you prefer to write on paper. 

Printing issues, such as margin misalignment, are usually due to individual printer setup. Unfortunately we are unable to assist with printing problems as it is out of our support scope. Please adjust the margins using your printer settings or via the “Print Preview” page depending on your device. The printed output should reflect how it is displayed on the computer. If it doesn’t work, please contact your printer device company for help!

We are constantly evaluating our course lineup to provide the best selection of personal growth tools for you. As new courses get launched, some courses get retired as they are no longer supported.

  • If you purchased the Blogging Success Program and The Passive Income System, they were retired in 2015 as announced here. Members were given two months to download the materials which was later extended to six months. You should have downloaded the files during that time. Between 2015 and 2020, we continued to offer download access to members who needed help retrieving the course files but no longer provide access support anymore.
  • For other video courses purchased between 2012 and 2016, customers were given download access to the course files right after purchase, along with bonus access to a course portal to access the same files. This portal was provided as a convenience for customers to view the course materials. We continued to provide free access to the portal after the courses were retired in 2016 and stopped support in 2020.

For the courses you purchased, the course files are yours to keep forever. When a course gets retired, it just means that new customers can’t purchase them anymore, but you can still use them in your own time, within the usage rights in our Terms of Use.

Note that the course materials are meant for your personal learning and usage. Please do not upload, distribute, share, re-adapt/modify, reverse engineer, or use them in any way that is against our Terms of Use. Please backup your files accordingly. Personal Excellence is not liable for data losses due to personal computer crashes or misplacement of files.

Live Course FAQs

There are three things you need to attend the live course:

  1. A modern Windows/Mac computer with at least 1GB of RAM. Chrome browser is preferred.
  2. A high-speed internet connection with at least 2 Mbps of free bandwidth. Your internet connection should be stable, i.e. using a LAN connection rather than a wifi network. If you fail to meet the minimum requirements, you may experience technical difficulties during the live course such as audio choppiness and fuzzy screen.
  3. A headset and a microphone to participate in the voice sharing sessions.

Please do a system test here to check your system requirements.

When you log into the meeting room, you may be prompted to give certain permissions before you can enter the room. If you do not see these prompts, do the following:

  1. In Chrome, click on the padlock button on the left of the URL address bar. You will see a popup.
  2. Click on the following:
    1. Notifications > “Allow”
    2. Microphone > “Allow”
    3. Sound > “Allow”
  3. Reload to apply new settings.

It is not recommended to use a tablet or a smartphone as the browsers on such devices are older versions that will not be compatible with the webinar technology. The text on the presentation is often too small to read on a mobile device.

If you still face issues, please contact us via the form below!

There will be voice sharing for certain segments of the webinar. For voice sharing, please get a headset with a microphone and test it before the class itself. Please do not use the internal microphone that comes as part of a laptop as in-built microphones are usually low quality and capture a lot of noise. You need a headset (rather than using laptop speakers where the sound can be heard in the room) as your microphone will pick up the sound from your speakers, which will create an echo.

As it is a live class, please test your headset and mic before class to ensure that they are working. In the interest of other participants’ time, we may have to deny participant sharing from selected participants if the audio quality is consistently poor, the voice keeps breaking, or there are technical issues caused by the lack of proper equipment / bad connectivity.

When you get promoted to share, you will get a browser prompt that asks for access to your microphone. Click “Yes.” If there are other prompts that ask for your microphone access, click “Allow.”

  1. If you don’t see the prompts, please
    1. Disable your AdBlocker. The AdBlocker may block all popups including prompts for microphone access.
    2. In Chrome, click on the padlock button on the left of the URL address bar. You will see a popup. Click on Site settings > Microphone > Allow.
    3. Reload page to apply the new settings.
  2. Check that your device is plugged in and working properly. If you’re using the PC, go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound and ensure that your Speaker and Recording tabs reflect the right speaker and microphone respectively. The volume control should also show feedback when you test your devices.
  3. Make sure you don’t have another application running that requires the microphone (such as Skype) as this could interfere with the webinar if both are running at the same time.
  4. If you are using a microphone built into an external device (such as your webcam or headset), make sure that it is turned on in the settings of your external device, as well as your browser settings.
Once again, please test your equipment before each live session so that you have ample time to troubleshoot and to prevent wait time for other participants.

The most common reason is the user’s internet connectivity. To ensure a high quality webinar experience, we use a high-speed 1 Gbps Fiber Broadband and Ethernet LAN connection, and a very high-end headset. 1 Gbps is an extremely fast connectivity that can download a 15GB Blu-Ray movie in 2 minutes.

To improve the audio quality on your end, here are some recommended steps:

  1. Use a high speed internet connection. As an attendee, you should have at least 2 Mbps of free bandwidth available. This requirement will be higher if you are doing voice sharing during the sharing sessions.
  2. Use a wired LAN connection. This is the best way to ensure the best connection. If not possible, move as close to your wifi router as possible. Closed doors, walls, increased distance, etc. in between you and your wifi router will slow down internet speed. The connectivity signal on your computer taskbar and in the webinar room should show the strongest signal.
  3. Close all applications and windows except those necessary to attend the course. Close unnecessary browser tabs. Make sure there are no applications or downloads running in the background. If you’re using a shared connection, ask the other users to stop their file downloads until the meeting is over.
  4. Restart your computer and reload the meeting room to get a fresh connection.

If you still face audio or quality issues, please contact us via the form below. If you miss parts of the lecture or you can’t hear some of the audio due to your connectivity problems, not to worry as there will be video recording — which will have high quality audio — after the meeting ends.

After you make payment, you will get an email with instructions to register for the webinar. Follow the instructions to get the meeting room link. After registering, you will get an email with the link for the upcoming class.

If you don’t see the email, check your Spam/Trash folders. If you still don’t get the email, please reach us via the form below!

No worries! The video link for each class will be sent to you 24 hours after a session ends. This recording is meant as a supplementary resource for those who can’t attend the live sessions. However, you should ideally attend the sessions live where possible as that’s where the key discussion takes place.

After you make payment, you will be sent an email with instructions to register for the live webinar. If there are worksheets for the course, you will get the instructions to download them.

For course video recording, the link will be sent to you 24 hours after a session ends. If you don’t get it, please check your spam folder. For copyright reasons, the recording can only be viewed, not downloaded. All course materials will be removed two weeks after a course ends.
