Internet Business Mastery | Escape the 9-to-5. Make More Money. Start an Freedom Business, Now!

First thing I jump in the shower. Then I write. Today, in the shower, I started thinking of the fundamentals of my life right now. I'm working on my health, so I planned the day based on what I call my core 4. Nutrition Movement Sleep Emotional States I have spent years studying these 4 categories and I have very specific rules in each. Everyday I mentally plan my day based on them. As I finished planning my day based on my core 4 I thought about you and your dream to start a freedom business. You have a core too and it's exactly what we focus on in the Freedom Club. Your Core 3: You Audience Connecting with your Audience That's it. Those are the fundamentals for a beginner in that order. That is how I designed the Freedom Club, Phase One.

I first met Pat Flynn in 2009 when I moved down to San Diego to live on the beach. I mentioned I was moving down there in our Academy forums, (it's the older version of the Freedom Club Facebook Mastermind Group.) I put together a San Diego LIVE meet up and that is where I first met Pat. He had just started my course and was very excited. I didn't notice anything different about him in that first meeting, but I ended up getting to know him very well over the next 18 months. During that time quite a few things happened. My Academy forum exploded and there was more activity than I could handle. Pat had gone through our course and started helping me respond to the multitude of questions happening in my forum, so I invited him to be a moderator. He agreed. We had lunch not long after that and I found out that he had followed my course advice and had already made $7000. We talked about his business and I gave him 2 pieces of advice, as a test. About a month later I started a mastermind group for the San Diego area. I invited 2 students to join us and Pat was one of them. The group would go to lunch and then go play frisbee golf by the ocean. During lunch, Pat said he had taken both pieces of my advice and was able to double his money from the last time we met. He said he was making $14,000 a month. I was astounded and he passed the test. I gave business advice all the time and almost no one had ever actually taken it, especially that fast. I had given friend's advice, family advice, and other members of my course advice. Pat was the first to actually put my direct advice into action. We continued the mastermind group for several months and I watched Pat's business grow. He was doing very well with the course I asked him if he would like to work with me on Internet Business Mastery, which would require we meet weekly and I'd teach him in return. He agreed. I really got to know Pat well during this time and several things about him stood out. The first was that he took fast action. When we met the first time, I gave him 2 pieces of advice. He went home after our lunch and did the two things right away. He didn't wait till later or when the time was right or when he felt like it or when the moon was aligned with Saturn, he did it ASAP. The second was that he actually followed my course, step by step. He didn't skip around or add stuff from someone else, he actually took the course exactly as it was meant to be taken. He took fast action and actually followed the instructions on the course step by step. At first glance, it might seem simple and no big deal, but it is HUGE. Almost nobody does it like that. He is now reaping the benefits of these simple actions. Last time I checked, his site says he made $148,006.06 a month. That is the kind of money he makes now because of those two actions. The bad thing was that he sucked at frisbee golf! Luckily, frisbee golf was just something to do while we all talked about business. Take fast action and follow the course step by step...

When I started my entrepreneurial journey, my desire was quite simple. I wanted to work from a home office so I could actually be a part of my family’s lives, instead of a haggard figure they might see as I leave early in the morning or as I come home right before they go to bed. I had no grand visions of a monster-sized house, stacks of cash, exotic cars, a jet, a butler, or a hot tub full of models (YET). Back in those days (2004) I only needed about $2500 a month to cover expenses and would get my desire! (Though it might as well have been a million dollars as I didn’t know how to get the money to cover expenses.) I had a small house, a wife, and 2 very young daughters, so the stakes were high, but my expenses were not. I wasn’t even to a point of dreaming about a million dollars. That wasn’t the goal in the beginning. It so wasn’t in my vision that I didn’t even notice when it happened, I was busy working my mission and enjoying my family. That was over 13 years ago and I’ve refined my dream quite a bit. I thought I’d share it with you, to help you get really clear on what you want. I call this clarity your Freedom Factors. You may want the monster sized house, stacks of cash, exotic cars, a jet, a butler, or a hot tub full of models. That’s fine, it’s your dream. Here is what I’ve come to after everything I’ve been through and seen with making business work extremely well. This is my current Freedom Factor: Freedom of Choice: Able to do what I want, where I want, when I want, with whoever I want. That can include GRAND visions or modest visions, you get to choose and there is no wrong answer. After testing my enjoyment with some different Freedom Factors like living on the beach and flying first class around the world, I finally settling down in my modern, dream home in a secret valley. I was able to realize the exact freedom I really desired. Today, what factors are important in your desire for freedom? Understanding your Freedom Factors, as well as your Fulfillment Factors, are critical knowledge you’ll need BEFORE you start a freedom business. I cover both in detail in the new Freedom Club, check it out now: http://www.FreedomClubVIP.com Jeremy Frandsen World Leader in Freedom Business Education

Not long ago I flew into San Francisco to mastermind with some heavy hitters. The group consisted of John Lee Dumas from Entrepreneur on Fire, Greg Hickman from Mobile Mixed, And Rick Mulready from the Art of Paid Traffic (and our Facebook Ads guru) We rented a beautiful, modern, SanFran house next to some famous park (whose name I can't remember for the life of me) for a few days and got right to masterminding. Each person would get a turn presenting a problem we were having in our businesses and everyone else would talk about all the different solutions they could think up to fix the problem. Then, each person would share tips, secret resources, and big breakthroughs so we could all benefit from them. This went on all of the first day and then the evening was time to 'party' mastermind with a bunch of internet business people who live in San Francisco. There are a lot... The late, great Scott Dinsmore of Live Your Legend and Andrew Warner of Mixergy and a handful of other well-known influencers joined us at a crazy bar/mini-golf/burger joint. The second day was filled with insights and big breakthroughs, and we had a special guest in the afternoon. He lived only a few blocks from our secret mastermind lair. I didn't know Tim Ferriss was supposed to be joining us, but there was a knock at the door and he strolled in. Tims the author of Tools of titans and all the 4-hour books, like four our chef and four our body. I hadn't seen Tim in person since I first met him back in 2007 when he asked to be on my podcast to pitch a little ol' book called, The Four Hour Work Week. (I said no cause we already had a productivity guy, the book became huge, and of course I changed my mind. He did our show a couple months later from his bathroom while he was having a large birthday party at his house, but that's another story...) We spent the entire afternoon getting in-depth and personal with Tim, his business, and some of the investment opportunities he was currently looking into. This continued on throughout the night and into the next morning as Tim showed us around the thriving food and bar scene. The specifics of what is said in a mastermind is confidential and if you share them with others you'll never be invited again, but I can tell you one mindset shift I had from what Tim shared. He was playing at such a high level and had so many possibilities when it came to business that he had a very specific rule when it came to analyzing new ventures. Keep in mind, Tim is very public about being one of the first round of investors in Uber, so he is playing a different level than the rest of us. His rule was that the new venture had to make at least 10 million dollars a year for him to take the time to consider it. No joke, he had so many offers at that level, he wouldn't consider anything not in that realm. I was amazed to hear that, to say the least. What it made me do is shift my mindset to 10x everything I was considering. I had a goal to help 10,000 entrepreneurs get their freedom business started, which I hit, and I decided to 10x that to 100,000! I hadn't decided to do the Freedom Club yet, but it came from my commitment to take all my goals to 10x. That's what masterminds can do for you. Open your mind. Get fantastic advice. Know you're not alone. Help you solve a problem by having other like minds solve it with you. Mastermind groups are awesome. The Freedom Club wouldn't exist if I hadn't been pushed...

I recently asked my future Freedom Club members, why they didn't buy when I opened the doors to freedom paradise. I got a lot of questions, many of them the same, so I'm going to group them and answer them here. I'm going to be a little briefer as I have to get my chickens all taken care of before the big storm that is supposed to hit this afternoon. (In case you didn't know, I bought a 2 acre Gentleman's Farm in a beautiful, secret valley about a year ago. It was just one of the things I wanted to try, I really enjoy it. Thanks freedom business!) Anyways, let's get to the questions. My comments will follow. ********* "I would have joined the Freedom Club, but I didn't have the money." --Well ya, that can be a problem. I find that most people don't have money problems, they have priority problems. If starting a freedom business isn't a priority, it'll always be pushed back to the "maybe someday" category. When I started I sold my car so my wife and I shared a car. I moved from expensive Los Angeles to a tiny, cheap suburb of Salt Lake City, Utah. I turned off cable, stopped going out to eat so much, and anything else "extra" that wasn't helping me achieve my dream. I knew I had to invest in my dream and actually do the daily steps needed to make it happen. It paid off big, but anything of value has costs and not just money... ********* "I know there are a bunch of courses and bonuses in the Freedom Club, but are they going to be dripped out one at a time over a bunch of months, like most membership sites?" --No. The Freedom Club 10 main courses packed into 3 phases. Phase One: Make your first $500 online (on the side) Phase Two: Replace Your Income and Quit Your Job! Phase Three: Build a 7-Figure Business! There are also a bunch of bonuses, that are laser focused to go deeper on several subjects, and a handful of separate action guides. You can see everything included here: http://www.FreedomClubVIP.com Everything is there and ready for you RIGHT NOW. ********* "I've been listening to you and Jason for years and I was wondering, where is Jason?" --A couple of years ago we hired a CEO to run Internet Business Mastery, so that we could finally start pursuing other projects. Jason and I created all of the 10 courses in the Freedom Club together, but I decided to take on the joy of writing this daily blog post. I REALLY like writing them. I might even like it more than the podcast! BLASPHEMY! Jason is here, behind the scenes, and on the podcast. Though he now has more time to do other things, as do I. ********* "I have no idea what business I want to create and I have no niche ideas in mind, so I don't know if I'm ready to start" --The Freedom Club was designed especially for you. We have an entire course about finding your niche. 12 years of deep dive knowledge to make sure you can finish with the niche you'll use to create your business around. This is the number one concern most people have when they start, so of course, we put everything we know into it! The club has what you need. ********* "Is this just a get rich quick scheme?" --No. There is no such thing as "getting rich quick". It took over 12 years of work and testing (and retesting) and over 10,000 students to create the 10 full courses that are included in the Freedom Club. You will actually have to take small steps every day to get your desired freedom. If you don't, you don't get it. There are no get rich quick schemes that work and are legal... Thankfully, I've never fallen for one of those schemes and ...

I woke up this morning excited and out of my mind with joy. I couldn't wait to get up and write to you. I have a deep affinity for entrepreneurs and people that have the desire to be entrepreneurs. That's you or you wouldn't be seeing these words... Anyways, waking up like this wasn't always so joyous. Back in 2003, right before I started my entrepreneurial journey, I would wake up on a Sunday morning and for a few moments, I'd feel, at best, relief. Relief that it was Sunday and that I didn't have to go to work. Then I'd think of going back to work on Monday and dread would start to fill my mind. I'd do all I could to push the feeling of dread out of my mind. By Sunday night I'd have full on "Sunday Evening Dread". Most of my "days off" would be fighting off the feeling of dread or fully encased in it. That happened for YEARS. I heard a quote that escalated my dread to exasperation. This quote and my 3 "fake" heart attacks shocked me awake. Here it is: "Most people are just waiting to die" … Let that sink in. I don't remember who originally said the quote, but after I heard it I was dazed for weeks. I came out of that daze with one thought: FUCK THAT! I made the choice. I wasn't going to spend the rest of my life just "waiting to die"! I didn't know how, but I made the choice anyways. That choice lead me from playing by the status quo and feelings of being bored, annoyed, financially enslaved, unhappy, scared, and afraid of failure... To where I am now, nearly an eight figure business, high level of freedom, control over daily life, ability to print money on demand, surrounded by hand picked, high-level people, and excited to wake up every day to talk to people I respect and am on a mission to help. My journey started with a choice and small, simple steps. You can make the choice and take a small simple step right now.

I get asked, from time to time, what's the first thing I did when I started to feel successful. I have to admit, what I did was pretty cliché. It's so cliché that most internet "gurus" point to it in their free content or their ads. You've seen the ad, pretty girl sitting on the beach with a laptop or a young guy sitting in a beach chair, with a laptop and an umbrella drink... It's so cliché that when I ask people this question, "what will you do with your new found freedom?", 48.754% of them say the first thing I did… No, it wasn't, "go to Disneyland". I'm a grown man, after all. Alright, so what is it? "Live on the beach." Yep, I moved to the beach. Funny thing is, I didn't originally feel successful because of money. My first million came and went and I didn't even notice. I know that sounds stupid and unrealistic, but I was totally engaged in my business. I enjoyed the "work" I was doing and I just got in the habit of doing it. That wasn't the thing that triggered me to be cliché. At that time, I lived in Salt Lake City, Utah. If you don't know Salt Lake, it's mostly surrounded by mountains and is at a high altitude. The winters can be brutal. That winter WAS brutal and I had enough. Summer came and the feeling of annoyance was decreasing because of all the snow was melting away. Then it happened. It snowed on June 3rd. I kid you not, it snowed in the summer. It snowed about a foot and a half. I fumed all day as I watched snow fall in front of my home office window, IN JUNE. Then it struck me. I didn't HAVE to live here. I had the money and freedom to live where ever I wanted. So I moved. The first thing I did with my new found freedom was move to the beach in San Diego, California. Freedom of Location was the first Freedom Factor I partook in. There are 5 Freedom Factors we talk about in the next course I'm adding to the Freedom Club. You can learn more about the Freedom Factors in the widely acclaimed Freedom Club here: http://www.FreedomClubVIP.com Jeremy Frandsen World Leader in Freedom Business Education

This morning I was reading a fascinating book about being able to manipulate the naturally occurring drugs in your brain. You've probably heard of these happiness drugs, like dopamine, endorphin, oxytocin, and serotonin. Dopamine produces the joy of finding the rewards you seek. Endorphin produces the oblivion that masks pain. Serotonin produces the feeling of being respected by others - pride. Oxytocin produces the comfort of social alliances. What's awesome is that the PHD that wrote this books says you can consciously take specific actions to make these drugs release getting a certain level of the feeling they produce. Most people don't understand these drugs and how important they are, which leads them to taking actions that could hurt them in the long run, just so they can trigger these drugs. To trigger these drugs many people use alcohol, food, money, "illegal" and legal drugs, sex and other risky behavior. If we understand these brain drugs instead, we could learn to trigger them with the actions we consciously choose! I love knowing stuff like this. This is why I'm a knowledge geek... I think knowing this is not only useful in becoming your own brain drug dealer, but it's very important in how you deal with your future customers. Knowing how to help your customers trigger the good drugs could be very powerful. There aren't only "good" drugs in the brain. There is a "unhappiness" drug called Cortisol. The last thing you want to do is trigger Cortisol in your potential customers and leave them with it. Having a freedom business triggers most of the happiness drugs in me every day. That's one of the main, mostly unconscious goals of having a freedom business, to create happiness with the use of the Value Cycle. What I mostly see in beginners is a trigger of the "bad" stuff, Cortisol. I believe this to be mostly from the fear of failure, so we'll be talking about how to avoid that in the future. For now, just know you can take daily actions to trigger your own happiness brain drugs. This is something to be celebrated and rejoiced! You can trigger both Dopamine and Serotonin and learn about the Value Cycle by joining the success community in my new Freedom Club here: http://www.FreedomClubVIP.com

My eyes were shut and I could hear a lot of activity going on in the room. I was laying on a bed. I felt weak and disoriented. I could hear my wife talking to a man with a deep voice and a handful of other voices moving around the room. I finally dared to open my eyes. I was clearly in a large hospital room. There was a lot of medical stands and devices around the bed, some making very light noises. My wife was talking to a tall doctor when she noticed I was awake. They looked at me, concerned. She looked like she was going to faint… The doctor told me I had been through 2 major heart attacks. I was in the ICU and I’d be taking a bunch of pills for the rest of my life. My heart would be very damaged and I wouldn’t be running around playing soccer with my two daughters again anytime soon. Overwhelmed, I shut my eyes. The last 2 days came flooding back into my mind. The massive chest pain on Christmas night, with my entire extended family around me. The ambulance coming, my family crowded in the front window, watching, Christmas tree lighted up behind them, as I was rushed to the local hospital. The rest of the time was a blur as I remember chest pain so bad I passed out in the ambulance. Hours later I had to be moved to a larger, city hospital and I remember the chest pain being so intense that I thought I was about to die. I passed out, again. That is when I work up in the room with the doctor and my wife and about 5 nurses or so, all busy doing who knows what. I was numb. I was only 28. No history of heart problems in the family. I didn’t drink, smoke or do drugs of any kind. I had a fairly low-stress office job and had risen through the ranks, making it out of the cubicle farm into an office. Why me?! How did this happen? My mind was racing and then I felt it. Like a UFC fighter punching me in the chest with all his power. Consciousness faded as did the massive strike of sudden pain. I woke up again, in another room. It looked like a simple hospital room instead of a packed, state of the art ICU room I was in before. No one was in the room. What if I had another heart attack and I simply died? What would my family do? Was this life I had what I had really wanted? Have you ever heard Tony Robbins talk about the rocking chair thought exercise? It’s where you pretend you are at the end of your life, sitting in a rocking chair, thinking It’s where you pretend you are at the end of your life, sitting in a rocking chair, thinking about all the decisions and actions you had taken or not taken in life. Would you be proud of your life or completely regretful? I spent about an hour going through that exercise, with what I thought could really be the end of my life. I realized I was proud of a few things and totally regretful about many others and I wasn’t even 30 yet. Long story short, the doctor came in and told me that they had called a specialist. They didn’t find any blocked arteries, I had no health risks, I was young, and the cardio unit couldn’t figure out why I had had 3 massive heart attacks in 2 days. The specialist did a simple test and found that I had a virus in the sack around my heart. It was no worse than getting the flu virus. I wouldn’t have to take all the pills the rest of my life and my heart was NOT damaged. The virus SIMULATES a heart attack, with no lasting damage. I was to take some antibiotics and I’d be fine in 7 days… I was completely shocked, again. I felt complete relief.

"What the hell is the Freedom Club? Please tell me without all the hype and rah-rah." That's a question I got recently. I think this page, http://www.FreedomClubVIP.com , does tell you without the hype, cause I'm not big on flashy sales crap. But, I thought I'd break it down as hypeless as I can...

A week or so ago I was talking about the way to build confidence is to act courageously by taking the first step. In my studies, I found some more great info for you. You begin by asking, "who am I going to be?" You decided to be courageous again. So what's next? Act that way. Act with courage. And here comes the part that's so simple it's easy to miss: the way you act will shape the way you feel. When you act with courage, immediately your fears start to shrink and you begin to grow. If you want to feel different, act differently. This isn't complicated, but it's amazing how many get it wrong. Cato (one of the original stoics) was a man who decided at an early age what kind of person he wanted to be – someone who was stoic, tough, self-sacrificing - and then he set out to become that person. When you put identity first – when you start from your conscious choice to be a certain kind of person – the way you think about achievement changes too. You see that character precedes achievement. I don't mean that good things only happen to good people, or that there's no such thing as luck. I only mean that while what we accomplish is something beyond our control, we can always shape who we are. “We can't promise achievement. But we can become the kind of people who are worthy of achievement." ~Eric Greitens, author of Resilience So there you go, choose what type of person you want to be and then act like you are already that person. You want to be the owner of a successful freedom business, act like it. Take the smart steps a successful business owner would take.

Yesterday I did a rundown of some of the big mistakes I made when I started this freedom business journey. I didn’t do this to whine and moan about the past, I wanted to make sure I learned all the lessons I should have. I do this every year or so. Why? Well, as Scott Adams says: "Failure always brings something valuable with it. I don't let it leave until I extract that value." I like to make sure you can get the most value from my failures too, by not making the same mistakes again. When I started, I made a lot of mistakes. I didn’t have a step by step plan. I didn’t have a mentor with a proven plan. After years of messing around and making mistake after mistake I finally figured out a bunch of things and was able to make it work. Even as things started working there were new levels of business to mess up on. That is why there are three phases in the Freedom Club with 10 step by step courses and many bonus courses to help you through each phase. It makes no sense for you to have to waste time making the same mistakes, skip them and just get to the good stuff! http://www.FreedomClubVIP.com Jeremy Frandsen World Leader in Freedom Business Education

This morning I was reflecting on the last few months. In 2017 I decided I was going to totally change my life and go after another dream. Since then I’ve gotten rid of more than 90% of my stuff. I’ve sold my home and gentleman’s farm. I’ve streamlined this business even more. I’ve gotten a new place in a different city and moved there. I’ve set up my life to be perfect for my next hero’s journey. Once I make a decision, I move fast. Why? I took to heart a what author Phil Stutz said in his book The Tools. Phil said that the longer we wait between feeling inspired to do something and actually doing it, the more our confidence and self-respect erodes. When I make a decision now I take action as fast as possible. I also prefer to lead by example, not just theory. How long has it been since you realized you had a dream to create a freedom business? Have you noticed your confidence in taking action waning as you wait till “the time is right?” Have you also noticed your self-respect corroding as you make excuse after excuse as to why now isn’t the time? Speed is a force, that is why you need to take action towards your dreams as soon as possible. Start now: http://www.FreedomClubVIP.com Jeremy Frandsen World Leader in Freedom Business Education

As I am about to start a new business my mind drifted back thinking about how I originally started this business, Internet Business Mastery. I made a ton of mistakes. I'm going to list a few of them in hopes you can learn from my past ignorance and then I'm going to give you the plan that finally made it all work. As I said, I made a ton of mistakes. I didn't choose my mentors wisely, I picked who ever was most seen and was putting out the most info. I got on over 30 emails lists and I buried myself in beginner information and I let it go on for far too long. I let my fear stop me for far too long. When I finally started, I started a bunch of businesses. I tried mashing all the different business plans and advice into a Frankenstein hybrid business. I picked the wrong business model and one of my businesses actually became successful, which made it so I had to work at least 12 hours a day, seven days a week. I ended up hating that business and business model. I kept starting different projects, but never finishing them. I could go on and on, but there is a little taste. Now I'm going to tell what finally started working. I learned it from a guy in the first group mastermind I was in. This guy made over 1 million dollars a month with his business. 1 MILLION DOLLARS A MONTH! I told him all the problems I was having and I asked him why he didn't have the same problems and here is what he said he did: He understood the power of ONE. ONE BUSINESS He choose to work on one business at a time. He said he'd get it to a place where he was happy with the money and then he'd just hire a CEO to run it exactly the way he did. ONE MENTOR He choose one mentor at a time to take advice from. He said they had to have been doing whatever they were teaching successfully for more than 7 years and he didn't want to hear about fads. No fads in business plans and no fads in traffic generation and no fads in sales and marketing. Just fundamentals. He said the power of one was how he was able to get his business to 1 million dollars a month. I decided to take his advice and everything changed for me after that. I stopped building businesses and I focused on one business, this one. Internet Business Mastery double in size and profit each year for the next four years in a row. At 10 years in business we hired a CEO to take over all the day to day operations. That was 3 years ago. Don't make my mistakes. Instead focus on the power of ONE. One Business. One Mentor. http://www.FreedomClubVIP.com Jeremy Frandsen World Leader in Freedom Business Education

Back when I got started I had a major fear. Actually, I had a lot of fears, but one especially stood out. I looked out over the internet and saw a LOT of people already successful doing the exact thing I wanted to do. I had the mistaken belief that if someone was already doing it, in my case a LOT of someones, then there was no room for me. I recently found a quote I saw years ago that helped: "Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But, since no one was listening, everything must be said again." ~Andre Gide You can say what has already been said, but add YOU to it. This is another reason I love the personality-based, relationship business I teach. You learn the ins and outs of the subject you want to teach and add YOU to it. No one can copy YOU. I'm a combination of my mentors, my thoughts, my actions, and what I've learned (and didn't learn) from my actions. That makes me different from anyone else, even if we talk about the same things. I'm going to say something that has been said a different way than anyone else. I bring a different angle, a different voice, and different view and so do you… See, I bet if you were to write an email based on this quote, you'd make a different point, maybe a better point. Maybe you'd make the same point, but make it more clear. You'd use a better story and point out someone that did an action that proves your point. Maybe you'd be sarcastic or more optimistic or use your dog as an example. Maybe you'd decide this quote is dumb and find a different one. No matter what, if you have a desire to be heard and create value for others, do it. It may have already been "said", but not by you. Time to get your nuggets into the club: http://www.FreedomClubVIP.com Jeremy Frandsen World Leader in Freedom Business Education
