 634 | 3 critical steps to not losing it all when you start your freedom business | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

One of the big, positive outcomes from having a successful freedom business is you can create the lifestyle you want. Do anything you want during the day. Stay up as late as you want. Wake up when you want. Create value when you want. Be around who ever you want. I've done it all since my freedom business took off back in about 2006 (I started in 2004, but it took a while to learn about designed my lifestyle.) That was when the money made it so I could really live a "free" life. The spontaneity was fun for a while, but then things changed. I changed... I never thought I'd say this but I love routine. I have a very specific routine now. I now choose to get my "work" done right when I get up. It can take about an hour or two, then I have the rest of the day to do what I want. Creating value in the morning, spontaneity after that. This is all because I learned about the Freedom Formula. Before I knew what it was I started a business that sucked my energy every day. I was working about 12 hours a day, everyday, even weekends. Then I met Jason, co-creator of Internet Business Mastery, and we talked all about the downsides of creating the wrong business. We had both done that with our first business because no one taught us the Freedom Formula. We didn't have mentors back then, just our little two-man mastermind. We didn't even know what we were doing was masterminding. Anyways, after years of doing it wrong we finally figured out the Freedom Formula and that is what has since given me the choice to create my day and my business and my life the way I want. The Freedom Formula is a system that if you put it into effect and go through the formula specifically, it puts you in control of your time and income. It gives you the freedom to do the things you love and wake up each morning excited and fulfilled with your life and pursuits. It's rather simple, but I bet you haven't heard of it before (unless you’ve heard me talk about it...) Seems a lot of people don't really want you to know it. Not me, I want you to know it so bad it's the first thing I teach in the Freedom Club. That way you don't make the mistake of taking all this time and energy to create a business, only to hate it cause you work so hard you never get the time to enjoy life too. There are 3 elements to the Freedom Formula and you have to know them and understand them to make your desire to be an entrepreneur come true. Luckily, the Freedom Formula is the first thing we discuss inside the Freedom Club. Module 1-2: The Freedom Formula Revealed.

 633 | “What do you do for a living?” | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Normally, when you get asked this obvious and persistent question it's pretty easy to answer. What do you do for a living? I'm a lawyer. I'm chief sandwich maker. I'm a professor. I'm President of the United States. The answer’s simple for most people. When I first started this journey to building a successful freedom business, I didn't know what to say. The answer was always slightly awkward. Since, "What do you do for a living?", is such a constantly used question I fumbled around for years with the answer. Basically, I was selling information, but most people don't understand that that is a thing. "I sell stuff online." Back in 2004, this answer seemed to lead to people thinking I was somehow into porn or I was doing spam. "I have an eBay business." This answer seemed to make people think I was going to yard sales, buying other peoples used junk, and selling it on eBay. "I'm a cubicle escape artist." This one would get a grin, but mostly I'd see the thought, "Fine, don't tell me..." Once Pat Flynn, my most visibly successful student, became a #1 bestseller and topped the podcasting charts, I'd say, "I make Pat Flynns." This one would get blank stares from people that didn't know him and surprised nods of approval from those that did. Now, I say what makes me happy. I realized that most people ask this question for something to say and really it's for me to declare my identity to others. My answer now: "I provide knowledge for potential winners to become successful winners." I'm told I'm a bit of an ass for saying it the way I say it, but most people just want the answer to easily categorize you. Since that is the case, I want them to either have no idea how to categorize me or think I'm a bit of an arrogant ass or, if they are a winner, they will ask me more about the specifics of what I do. When I taught Pat Flynn, it was quite clear to me he was already a winner (based on his actions and mindset) and just needed the direction and some specifics to become a successful winner. Winners are going to be successful, they just need some direction. Losers go for "free" and "how quickly can I be a millionaire?" and "Ooooo, let's get on this list, then this list, then this list, and on and on." I attract winners and when they are ready, they come into the Freedom Club and start their journey to become success winners. http://www.FreedomClubVIP.com Jeremy Frandsen World Leader in Freedom Business Education

 632 | How to personify the spirit of an elite fighting force… | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

It’s time to pull another email out of the ol’ email bag. I get energy hearing excuses and tearing them to shreds... As always, my comments will follow. “Honestly, I am a waiter... and I don't mean that I serve tables, but that I'm waiting for that "right" feeling. I have tons of skills, but most of my energy is split between my daily employment which takes advantage of those skills and spending time with my family. I have a dream to one day be working for myself on projects I'm passionate about that can help other people, but when I start to plan out the process, I'm overwhelmed or procrastinate. I've owned tons of domains. I have the technical expertise to pull off a good business online... Yet, I'm still living pay to pay working for companies that don't really mentor and guide me to that next level.” ~David P --I was recently reading a book about the U.S Navy Seal team. If somehow you don’t know what they are, they are an elite military unit and they have one of the most grueling, mind and body shredding training there is. Most of the people that try out don’t make it past the initial training. The book is written by one of these elite Navy Seals. One of the things he talked about was the difference between regular people and people who pass the Seal training and go on to become one of this elite fighting force. He said that most people are run by their feelings. They have a feeling, that feeling dictates their behavior and their behaviors are what build their identity. So, David, in your case you are waiting for a feeling to push you to action, so you can take the actions (behavior) needed to become a successful freedom business owner. The Seal said that successful people do it just the opposite. He said the guys that successfully finish the toughest, grueling Seal training ACT like a Navy Seal from the beginning. They take on the identity of a Seal FIRST. They know that ALL the Navy Seals have gone through and FINISHED the exact training they are about to go through, so they decide they are going to finish it before they start, no matter what. They take on the identity FIRST. They decide to be U.S. Navy Seals before they go through the training that is designed to weed out the humans not fit to be Seals. That identity is what decides their behaviors. When they don’t want to or think they can’t do something, the Navy Seal identity they took on says they will. A Navy Seal passes the training no matter what, so they take the actions that lead them to feel like a Seal. This is the mindset you need to take David. Right now you are waiting for this: Feelings>Behavior>Identity You need to choose a success mindset, which is this: Identity>Behavior>Feelings A successful freedom business builder does what it takes to succeed. First step is get the training you need here: http://www.JoinFreedomClub.com The next step is to start working on your mindset, which is the first course inside the Freedom Club. The only part of the success mindset you need to start is the “get the training and start the first course”, I’ll handle the rest. It’s designed to be done in as little as 30 minutes a day. When you have more time, do a bit more. When I took on the mindset of a successful freedom business builder I started finding a ton of time to work on my business. It’s all about priorities. If you choose the identity of a freedom business owner, that is what will create your behaviors. Then,

 631 | Just for you | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

As I mentioned recently, I sold my home and gentleman's farm. What triggered me to sell my "dream" home? Lifestyle design. I always wanted to try the gentleman's farm, but with a big modern home. I did, done. I also wanted to pair down Internet Business Mastery and instead of having 10 huge funnels going and a bunch of employees and a bunch of tasks to do constantly, I pared it down to an email a day and ONE full-time employee. Simplify and minimalism is the lifestyle I'm trying now. This is GREAT news for you. This is why I put ALL over our courses and bonuses into the Freedom club and I only charge $1 a day for it ALL. Lifestyle design. The other part of my recent lifestyle design is starting a new business. Keep in mind, I don't suggest you create more than ONE business when you start out. It's taken me over 13 years to finally start another business. The structure of this new business is all about simplicity. I already did complicated. Internet Business Mastery got BIG and complicated. Jason and I flew all over the world to speak, we had a bunch of people working for us, and my life was like 85% business. Then, it was time to do some lifestyle design again. I wanted to talk to you daily and start a new business. Done. Lifestyle design is how you gain control. Control in a different way than ever. No one teaches this like I do, no one. If you don't get the lifestyle design right, you might end up in a business you HATE. Imagine that, you actually succeed and HATE your business. That happened to me with the business I built BEFORE Internet Business Mastery. I built that business with no knowledge of how business works, so I ended up creating it in a way that it need me to work more and MORE as it got more successful. It got successful and I found myself working 12-16 hours a day, everyday. Yep, even weekends. Constantly. I hated that business because I wanted freedom, not slavery to my own business! That’s where lifestyle design came in. I studied everything I could about designing a life I truly wanted to live. The first part of the Freedom Club is all about lifestyle design. You have to design the future ahead of time, so you aren't enslaved by your business. You have to build a lifestyle that is perfect for YOU. It’s critical and it's ready for you to check out right now. Don't be one of the sad group business owners that create a business they end up hating. Build a freedom business that funds the lifestyle of your dreams now: http://www.JoinFreedomClub.com Jeremy Frandsen World Leader in Freedom Business Education

 630 | Your fear doesn’t make sense… | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

A few episodes ago I told you about the top level, secret mastermind group I made my way into with the guys that make the *real* money online. It's the group that took me years of doing business before I was invited and allowed in. I had to earn my way in, I couldn't just buy my way in. Anyway, I want to share another huge, body slamming secret I got from that group that I think can help you. In fact, I know it will. This group of mega-successful guys agreed that after all the years they had done business, there was one top thing that stops people from buying their products and it was the same thing, no matter what the market they were in. It doesn't matter if the product is personal development, fat loss, finding a mate, or starting a freedom business. Here goes: **Most people are so afraid of FAILURE, they never try.** That might already be obvious to you, but wait. There's more... **First, you need to understand this fear because when you start your freedom business, you'll be dealing with it all day, everyday from your customers too. Here is the other part of the secret. Only about 2% of people who buy most information products ever make any effort towards the end goal of the product. So, they buy it and never use it. The Givers of Secrets in my mastermind group agreed that they use to think the problem was that the 98% were lazy. That is what they USE to think. After decades of getting to know their customers they found out... ...get this… It wasn't because the 98% were lazy, it was because if they didn't actually try, they could keep the DREAM alive in their minds. The dream of finding their ideal mate. The dream of losing weight. The dream of gaining freedom and owning their own business. If they tried and failed even once, they felt their dream would die. They believed that not trying was better than losing their dream. This is so profound it makes me nearly cry every time I think of it... We can all logically understand that you can't get your dream until you take action (try), but our brain thinks saving us from failure is better than actually making our dreams into reality. It's a complete brain fart, but it happens all day, every day. It's crazy, but I totally get it. I still fight this messed up thinking about other things in my life. Because of this I have dedicated massive amounts of time to find ways to battle this 'fear misunderstanding'. In the first course I've added to the Freedom club, called the Freedom Formula, I've added what I call Success Behaviors to battle such dream crippling fears. We’ll destroy these fears and design a plan to actually get the dream out of your head and into your life. That is the first thing we'll do in the Freedom Club.

 629 | Your adventure begins today! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

My life changed the day I watched the movie, the Matrix. I saw it in the theater back in 1999. In fact, I watched it twice in one day and another 3 times in the theater. It seemed like they made the movie for me. No really, I had the creepy feeling that the filmmakers were making movie just for me and where I was in my life. It was eerie. Generally, it's about a bored, office dweller at the point of nihilism that is searching for the truth about life. Boy, does he get it. His world is rocked. It ends up being 1000 bigger than he ever imagined. I was a bored, office dweller too. Like Neo, in the movie, I felt there was more. I felt I was stuck. Life wasn't a movie, it was life, but I wanted something big. It took my almost 5 years from seeing the movie to escape the Matrix myself (triggered by a book, more on that another time,) and now I'm offering you the chance. The chance to escape the trap you're in. How do I know you want to escape? You found me. You searched and found my podcast or were sent to it. You found my site and decided to get on this email list. Or both. In the Matrix movie, the mentor character, Morpheus, offers the hero two options in the form of pills. A blue pill and a red pill. Here is what he says: "This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." ~Morpheus, The Matrix movie. You are the hero and here is your chance. This is no joke, you can start right now. Take the red pill: http://www.JoinFreedomClub.com Jeremy Frandsen World Leader in Freedom Business Education

 628 | So many downsides until this happens | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

In my reading time yesterday I came across a quote I want to share with you. "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness concerning all acts of initiative and creation. There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen events, meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: 'Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now!" ~W.H. Murray's brilliant thoughts on the matter from his Scottish Himalaya Expedition. Recently I made a commitment to a journey I've been wanting to take for 26 years, but have been very afraid to take. I committed knowing there was going to be some high prices to pay. In just over a week, "providence moved" and things I thought would be nearly financially fatal shifted and went in the other direction. 2 weeks after I committed I've already had, as the quote suggested, unforeseen events, meetings and material assistance which I couldn't have dreamed would come my way. All because of locking into a dream with committing. This isn't the first time either. Commitment has been something I've used for years. I'd like to pass this magic sword of commitment to you now... Commit to your dreams and take a small action on them now. http://www.JoinFreedomClub.com Jeremy Frandsen World Leader in Freedom Business Education P.S. Remember Goethe's quote: "Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now!" Damn right.

 627 | You’ll never work in this town again! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

That was the last thing my last boss ever said to me just over 13 years ago. I don't know if he meant to be cliche, it was Hollywood, but he sure was. I was excited to go on the adventure of learning how to start a business and the moment did feel a bit like a movie, but I couldn't believe he said it. "You'll never work in this town again!" I had just quit so I could go start a business. I felt like I couldn't go any further unless I went on this quest. You didn't quit the job you worked that hard to get. I was one of the youngest guys to get THAT job at Warner Brothers movie studio and I can't imagine anyone ever quit that highly coveted job before. I did. I had to. My boss was astonished when I said I quit. He just stood there staring at me. His brow furrowed and he slowly started shaking his head as if to say, you can't do this. Then he blurted it out. "You'll never work in this town again!" Thus ending the 'working for the man' era of my life. He was right, though, I have never worked in Hollywood since. What I have done is dedicate my life to helping others and I was able to make a 7 figure business doing it. Instead of being a Hollywood faceless minion, I helped 1000's of people with my first online business and over 10,000 people with Internet Business Mastery, including the brand new Freedom Club. I have one more business I'm starting, not in the start an internet business space, but I'm still going to follow the step by step plan laid out in the Freedom Club (with some new additions I'm going to talk about in the private, 'for members only' Facebook Mastermind group.

 626 | Don’t buy into their crap… | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

I’ve been seeing an annoying trend recently. To be different and “edgy”, I see a lot of people saying that finding your purpose and building a business around it is NOT the way to do it. They say that you should simply find a good market and that is really the only thing to think about. I see a LOT of people saying this now like it’s the new “cool” thing to say. I think that’s stupid. Let’s see what a world famous psychologist that created the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs has to say about the subject after spending his entire career on the study: “The most beautiful fate, the most wonderful good fortune that can happen to any human being, is to be paid for doing that which he passionately loves to do.” ~Abraham Maslow I think I’ll stick to a world-renowned expert rather than an edgy newcomers trying to get attention by being contrarian. My 13+ years of experience proves out Maslow’s quote as well. What I think happens, other than just trying to get attention is that these edgy newcomers can’t figure out how to find their purpose so they can’t be passionate about. So, to cover up their failings, they change the rules. Don’t buy into, it’s crap. I studied as much as I could find on the subject, tested it, worked with over 100 coaching students on the subject, and I finally made the Freedom Business Blueprint. The Freedom Business Blueprint is the second course that comes to you inside the Freedom Club. I’ll show you how to find your Single Motivating Purpose, so you make sure you will enjoy your successful freedom business for years and years.

 625 | Another dose of tough love… | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

A couple weeks ago I asked a question. “What the hell is holding you back?” I got a LOT of responses. Here is one, but it is the big daddy of responses. It’s one that I think everyone thinks, no matter what other issues they might have. Here is the response and my tough love comment after: “Im afraid of failing and losing money.” ~Cartlon --Here comes my one two punch, ready? 1- There are only two ways to fail. Quitting and not starting. By not starting, you ARE failing. You shouldn’t be afraid of failing in the future, you already are failing RIGHT NOW by not putting your all into starting a freedom business. If you start and decide you are going to keep going UNTIL you succeed, you will never fail. Succeed or die, that is what I decided when I got started. I knew there would be massive challenges and that I wouldn’t get the results I want most of the time, but the only way to fail is to quit… once you get started. 2- Here is the next hard truth, you are already losing money. Had you started when you realized you had the desire to have a freedom business, you’d very likely be making money already. Your hesitance is what you should be fearing. It’s ruining everything. It’s making you fail AND lose money, every single day you don’t go after your dream. It’s no joke. You are already living the nightmare of failing and losing money, my friend. There is one more hard truth for you. 3- You are also completely letting down the audience you could be creating value for RIGHT NOW. Your audience is out there right now, waiting for you to help solve their issue and you are failing at that too. Get your ass in gear. You wouldn’t have the desire to create a freedom business that helps you have the lifestyle you dream about and help your chosen audience if you didn’t have the ability to make it happen. I’ve talked about before, most people don’t even have the desire to create a freedom business. You do! Get your ass in gear and stop failing by committing to succeed or die. You owe it to yourself AND your future audience. You will keep working to create value for your chosen audience until your experience of the world ends. It’s succeed or die. Get started and keep going until you get back the value you have earned. The success journey can start RIGHT NOW: http://www.JoinFreedomClub.com Jeremy Frandsen World Leader in Freedom Business Education

 624 | Do you have a fake life? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

About 15 years ago, while sitting in my cubicle office, I realized something horrifying. I realized I had fallen into a trap. I was bored and unhappy with most of the day. This was not supposed to be my life. I'd drive 45 minutes to a job that was only 13 miles away from my house. I'd sit in my cubicle office on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, bored. The day was going to be long and just like the last. After about 10 or more hours I'd drive home, it'd take about an hour to get through those 13 miles to get home. L.A. traffic, ya know... I might make it home in time to kiss my young daughters good-night, if traffic wasn't too bad, or they'd be asleep and I didn't even get to see them that day. Then on to the next day... This day would be like all the rest, except my wife and kids would be at Disneyland with my visiting family. My kids were experiencing something they still remember to this day, the first time they went to Disneyland as kids. I remember it too, sitting in my office, since I realized I was living someone else's life. It certainly wasn't my life. When I graduated high school, with the entire world as a possibility, I wasn't hoping that I could spend most of my day, everyday, in a boring job. Missing my kids growing up. Wondering what fun they were up to while I inched towards death being about as fulfilled with life as a rock. I couldn't take it anymore. I decided to refuse to live that fake life. Things are very different today, but I have a question for you. Is your current life the one you'd choose or did you fall into the FAKE trap?

 623 | Immortality is right around the corner, you better be prepared. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

This morning I watched a video about how scientists now have a device that can keep a heart beating perfectly FOREVER! Wa-What? I read about stuff like this everyday. I'm totally a futurist tech junkie. I actually use my personal Facebook feed to see everything I can about biomed, the singularity, transhumanism, AI, robotics, anti-aging, nanotech, biohacking, and more. Because of this guilty pleasure, I got some really crazy looks from a bunch of fellow business owners in the Dan Sullivan Strategic Coaching group I was in. The first task we had in the group was to write down the age we expected to die. Sound morbid? I liked it! After we wrote the age, we all had to say the age out loud one at a time, for all to hear. 78. 84. 87. 152. That last one got a chuckle from the room and the coach stopped everyone and asked me... “Why 152?” I answered, “Because that's about double what the 'normal' death rate is now.” I went on to back my crazy number by talking about a handful of scientific breakthroughs that already exist now. Some of the smartest people in these fields say that a doubling of our life expectancy will be possible in our lifetime. These same scientists and PHD's have a united goal: Live long enough to live forever. BOOM. Science fiction? Maybe not. I choose to believe it anyways. Pick the delusion that works, as Scott Adams says. So what does this have to do with having a freedom business? Great question. Here goes… Choosing to start your freedom business now is more important than ever. We already know that life expectancy is going up, maybe not to 152 (yet), but people are already living longer. This means that you'll have more time to hate that soul-sucking job you have far longer than age 65. This is one of the reasons that I decided to fight the fear of failure and just go for it 13 years ago. I couldn't imagine another 30-50-75+ more years of trudging through traffic to get to a job I hated so some idiot could dictate what I do and how to act for 8-12 hours a day. I wanted freedom the day I started my entrepreneurial journey and I'll fight to gain more freedom and give more value in order to keep the freedom I already have. Whether 152 is possible or not, I'm preparing my finances to be the first to find out. Building a freedom businesses is part of that preparation! Join me now:

I have recently hit just over 100 emails written since I started writing daily emails for Internet Business Mastery. Recently a friend of mine asked me about these daily emails. She asked, "Is it hard coming up with what to write every single day?" At the time I said, "No, not at all." But this morning it happened. I woke up a few minutes ago, excited to write to you but no subject came to mind. I was actually a bit shocked. Usually I have 2-3 things I could write and I have to just choose one and make a note of the others for days like this. I have a huge mindmap of things to write about, so I went to that and nothing stood out as something I wanted to talk about. I sat there a moment and thought... What advice would I give to someone that feels stuck? I'd normally say, just start. Take action. Even if it doesn't seem like much, do something. So I did, I wrote about having hit over 100 emails. I kept writing until I finished the email in one pass and made this podcast for you. Don't know what freedom business you want to create? Don't know what niche you want to go in? Don't know what audience you want to create value for? Don't know how to use social media to draw traffic to you? Don't know how to create a website?

 621 | The most powerful word in business… | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

When I had decided absolutely to start a freedom business a strange thing happened. I learned about the Value Cycle, (entire video discussing what it is and how to use it is in the Freedom Club), and it lit my mind on fire! I went from having NO ideas on what niche to go into or products or anything specific to 1000's of ideas. It's like the act of deciding I was going to do it FOR SURE turned on something in me. At first, I really liked it. I was a business idea generator. 1000's of business ideas. 1000's of different avatars I wanted to help. 1000's product idea's I had so many business ideas it was hard to sleep. It actually became a bit of a burden. I didn't know which idea I should focus my time on. At first, I decided to pick about 5 businesses and give them all a shot, which I did. It was chaos. Couple 5 businesses with FOMO (fear of missing out) on all the shiny and new techniques the big-wig goo roos were tempting me with so they could make more dollars and I was making very little progress in ANY of my business. This actually went on for years until I ended up in a very special local mastermind group. There was only 5 of us and we'd meet once, sometimes twice a month. Every time we'd meet we'd all get a turn chatting about our businesses, what worked, what didn't work, and what we needed help on. There were some big hitters in the group, but one specifically taught me a very important lesson. We'll call him "Mike". Mike had a big business. Mike was making about 1 million dollars a month, no joke. Mike didn't say too much, but when he did it was usually life altering. One time, I was blathering on about several problems I was having in several of my businesses. I realized that the Mike didn't really say anything after I blathered on and on and I made a mental note to talk to in after, which I did. I asked him what he thought about my general issues with business and if he had any advice. He said my main problem was that I couldn't say the most magic and important word in business… NO. He said I’d make as much money as he does from saying no to everything except what will help his ONE audience the most and that makes him the most money. That's it. One business, one issue. That changed everything for me. I started learning to say no. One of the 5 business I had was Internet Business Mastery and it was a "whenever we get around to it" business. I talked to my business partner, Jason, and we decided to say no to everything else and just focus. That one act changed our future. We doubled our profits each year for the next 4 years (and had nice steady growth for years after) all by saying NO to everything but what would help our audience most. No. No. NO. No really comes down to focus, learning about the Value Cycle, and picking one audience to help. Building a business around that is what changed everything for me.

I'm reading a fantastic book again. It's called "Making Hope Happen" by Shane Lopez. One of the main points of this book is that you have to design your future before you can set and achieve goals. Shane calls this Futurecasting. This is such an important idea I added it into the first course in the Freedom Club. Most people miss the specifics of how to do this when they make their goals. Usually, they just pick a goal. Then 6 months later they realize they didn't do anything substantial towards getting the goal. I searched for this book because I found that I was getting only about a 10% success rate on my goals. I couldn't figure out why. I did all the thing you're supposed to do, be specific, set a date, backwards plan, etc. Even after doing it all "right" for so many years, still only about a 10% success rate. That is until I learned about futurecasting. Because of it, I was able to double my business income 5 years in a row, and that is just success in the business arena. I was able to do similar things in other parts of my life. I started using it with my coaching students and saw massive results. That is when I decided to mix it into my cornerstone, starter course, the Freedom Formula. It's the first course to go through in the Freedom Club, start going through it now and lets up that success rate. http://www.JoinFreedomClub.com Jeremy Frandsen World Leader in Freedom Business Education
