The Price of Freedom is Less Then You Think
By action | January 25, 2008
I Work Seven Days A Week Because I Love What I Do – DO YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO?
For me the line between work and play is nonexistent because I LOVE WHAT I DO! I don’t work to survive anymore because I created multiple streams of income which will PAY ME IF I WORK TOMMORROW OR NOT! I get to go where I want, when I want and with whom I want. My commute is across the hall to my home-office in my nearly 7,000 square foot home.
Recently we have had some serious snow storms hitting Utah but I don’t have to worry about driving in it because I work from home. My beautiful bride also stays home with me and we wake up WHEN WE’RE DONE SLEEPING!!!
I have seen slaves (a.k.a. employees) who have had to uproot their families and head north just to remain employed. I have seen fathers snatch their children and run for the hills because Daddy was relocated to a work camp all the way across the country.
New school. New friends. New boss. Sad children. What a horrible way to live.
Spouses cry. They lose their friends and the slave trade persists.
The Harsh Reality Is That 97% Who Failed To Pay The Price Of Freedom Are Employed By The 3% Who Decided To Pay It!
But alas, there is a way out. How? Because each slave is allowed to BUY their way out and EACH SLAVE is allowed to BUY his or her FREEDOM. The price is TIME and ENERGY and an INVESTMENT into SELF versus a life exchanged for another man’s dream.
The cost is NOT too high, yet it does seem like TOO MUCH for those without the COURAGE to pay the price.
Doing all you can do isn’t stopping at five o’clock or fetching another man’s Star-Bucks.
Be your own best friend. Who cares if it takes 16 hour days to locate the person YOU were born to be. It worked for Edison and Hanks and it’s worked for me and Millions of OTHER slaves who decided to PAY THE PRICE.
“Well J.R. you don’t know my background.” BS! I was born on welfare, dropped out of highschool in the 9th grade so I can provide for myself because I had no where to live!
“Well J.R. I don’t have any upline support.” BS! I had an upline that was so backstabbing and conniving that they would STEAL my systems and tools and pass them off as their own! They even went as far as to get me TERMINATED after 5-years of my life I gave to their company. So SUCK IT UP! Because what is the alternative? Rolling over and wetting on yourself! No thanks – NOT FOR ME!
“Well I just can’t get motivated.” Well friend, GET MOTIVATED! All I have to do to get motivated is look in the eyeballs of my bride and four children – THAT KEEPS ME MOTIVATED!
Do you realize that there are MLM, Network Marketing and Affiliate companies out there with fist fulls of cash just waiting to give to you! All you have to do is be a little creative and simply get started!
Do you know that last week I taught a simple little system in my 22-minutes webcast which has grossed me HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS? I charge a whopping $20 to watch the replay of the webcast yet their are still those people out their WHINING about investing twenty bucks in THEMSELF!!!
Listen folks, you need to be willing to invest in yourself if you are ever going to reap the rewards this industry can give you!
If you are interested in the training I’m talking about click the link at the top of this page that says “101 Techniques to Build Your Downline!”
So in closing what are you willing to give up for your freedom? I challenge you to open up and spill your guts RIGHT HERE – RIGHT NOW in front of your peers! Maybe it is time that you step out on faith a little and tell someone what your dreams are and what you are willing to do to accomplish those dreams!!!
I challenge you to hit the COMMENT BUTTON BELOW and tell us what your dreams are!
Successfully and Sincerely Yours,
J.R. Jackson
Stay @ Home Dad & Husband

WOW! Just the slap to the forehead that I needed!! My dreams? Help families get mortgage/debt free in 1/2 (or less) the time with interest cancellation and be paid BIG for it! Then bring my husband home so we can be the FAMILY that we were born to be!! NEVER worry, fight or cry about $$$$ again! Build 5000 sq ft homes in Northern Utah, NM and MT and donate $50,000.00 a MONTH to the Indian Walk in Center in Salt Lake City, UT, as well as other organizations. Send my husband to Parelli University, assist my children to build their financial education and begin to mentor them in building multiple streams of income! Pay off my parents and inlaws homes and take extended family on annual trips. Acquire my custom RV and travel to the places that my children learn about in homeschool! Set up foundation to teach financial principles for Native American people. Assist people build straw bale homes that are self sufficient. OH, and “wake up when I am done sleeping!” The price I am willing to pay? 16 plus hours and let go of a comparatively small amount of $$ to make room for much more. I realize that I started with very little to begin with and expected huge things to happen, but I was thinking from scarcity! I am thinking from abundance and open to spending the little amounts that are being offered to us here and now! Am willing to travel to Highland for some great mentoring! 😉 (and pay for it!) Pay the price by spending time to learn these techniques, and the money to make things happen! Lets see, from the outset, this may take some time from my family, however, that is part of the price I am willing to pay! THANKS FOR THE REALITY CHECK!

JR,
That sure was from your gut.. and I wish more people would realize that in order to succeed you need to go the extra distance, knock down walls of fear and rejection and just keep pushing toward your dreams. I’m new in this business and I am always learning , reading and attending classes and trainings. I will no longer be a victim or chained to a job that stiffels my creativity and talents.
January 25th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Thanks for the post Tim.
I know you are putting a lot of time into your business by going to advance trainings, conference calls and working with your team.
Your hardwork WILL PAY OFF!

Wow Kelly that is fantastic!
You obviously have some great goals in mind. I hope you have taken the time to write all of these (and more) down on paper and PUT A DATE ON WHEN YOU WILL ACCOMPLISH EVERY SINGLE GOAL!

“Thwunk!” against my forehead by your hand.
Very motivating and inspiring. I know you well enough to back up what you’ve written. Thankyou for posting this inspiring and motivating note. It came at the perfect time for me. Thankyou for your friendship, leadership and mentoring!
Anyone who thinks you aren’t the real deal is dead wrong. My wife Lorraine and I know. Anyone who wants to get ahead can learn much from J.R.
We all will have challenges as we build a future, fortune and achieve success. That is a valuable resource to molding our characters and proving us worthy of what we want. It enables us to stand strong and tall as leaders to ourselves, our families, our business customers and our business associates.
The future is ours!

I, too, join you all in the comments. Though I’ve never met J.R. personally, I feel like I know him well. It’s sure nice to have such positive support around. Is it true you can really be so positive and happy all the time? If so, that’s my #1 goal.
The last couple years has been very tough and I want to turn that around like you wouldn’t believe. I don’t need a 7000 sqft home (too much to clean… haha) or the ultimate of ultimates. Just being able to live comfortably without worries would mean SO MUCH to me at this point in time. I think if that happend, my #1 goal would be met. So perhaps the FIRST question I should ask is what will it take to describe “without worries” to make that happen?
(1) Being able to schedule the monthly bills to AUTOMATICALLY be paid online each month instead of doing it manually month to month because of a paycheck to paycheck sitation every other Thursday.
(2) Having enough left to get household necessities without having to go the cash advance. Just that feeling of “CALM” over the financial situation I think would make me positive and happy ALL THE TIME. With that, I can survive fine in my 2400 sqft home that isn’t the most gorgeous thing, but the CALM feeling of positiveness and happiness would be something I’d cherish for a while FIRST. I’d be happy even doing “busy work” on my business in the beginning until it builds, little by little, til I can live the “ultimate of ultimates” lifestyle.
So what’s stopping me in “busy work”? Right now, it’s the upgrade of the resume extractor in hotjobs. ?? For some reason, ever since I downloaded the upgraded version, it just hasn’t worked. I wrote a “contact us” email to traffic attack, but no response yet. I asked my computer tech person whose fixed my PC a few times if he knew about resume extractor programs and such; he just gave me the weirdest look of “wwhhaaaatt?”
I was so fortunate to get access to the asapresumes J.R. offered us at a steal of an “investment” (for ME); how many times have I used them… zip. Why… I just don’t understand how to use the resume extractors with it; as I said, it’s not working at all since I downloaded the upgrade. If anyone can help me, I love to hear from you. denandoug@centurytel.net
I’d LOVE to keep busy putting in 16 hrs a day (give/take).. haha.. with that sort of “busy work” if only it would WORK. That, too, would make my spirits feel good like I was DOING something POSITIVE for me and my family… a lead into making that first goal come true.
What are other goals and/or would I “dream” of happening…
1. Pay back my mother of so many thousands of dollars she has willingly GAVE me and my family through the struggling times of the past couple years so we could get into our first house. She probably won’t take any of it, but it’d make me feel good to know I could “give back”… just like J.R. is doing with us.
2. Get us completely out of debt.
3. Bring my husband home from his sous chef job that he works 12-15 hrs/day at, night shift, and makes it real hard for him to visit with me and the kids. His job is draining him, literally, and I wanted so bad to do this home job on the side to HELP. If wish I could FEEL like I was.
4. Finally go on a dream vacation, without the kids.
5. Being able to START SAVING for my kids’ and our family’s future. As they say… “the future is NOW.”
If these couple of SIMPLE things could happen, THEN maybe I’ll think about that bigger home (somewhere IN BETWEEN 2400 and 7000 sqft; WITH a housekeeper 🙂 ) and that car with four tv’s. Until then, I have to stay in the real world and try and turn this around for me. I have every confidence it can happen too. I guess that’s why I just love these positive words of confidence from everyone. I didn’t mean for this to be a “poor me” note, but I want you to know how much this blog means to me. You are my “hopes” (and my dreams to come). Thanks SO much.
You wanted my goals J.R.; here they are. I’m not picky. 🙂

My Dreams My Dreams My Dreams I get it excited just writing them cause I know I can make those dreams a reality. Some of you might know by now I’m J.R.’s sister I’ve been though the welfare, like J.R. put its BS hes right its a excuse and a lousy one at that. I have taught my younger kids to make dream boards they love doing it. There dreams do come true. You ever see 7 and 8 year old boys get excited well mine do I tell them they can be and have anything. I’ve taught them to Ask for what they want, Believe with undying faith that its theres then Receive it.
Like Jesus Said Ask and Ye Shall Receive!!!
Well if that don’t tell you something.
Just something we love to do. So back to my Dreams that’s one of mine is my kids believe anything is possible for them. The world is at there feet. I have a great marriage now it wasn’t always like that that was one of are goals and we did it we can go though anything now.
If God be for me who can be against me.
This is my year to by a Escalade Got To Have one. We went to the car lot about a month ago to see what SUV I would want and that was by far the best to me. I grabbed a picture of the Escalade and up on my board it went. Also, A new house 4000 SqFt out in woods somewhere. Room for are cows. Unlike J.R. I live in the country no city for me. Have to have 1/4 horse the best breed of course and has to be the perfect color and has to run like the wind. We love to go look at them it gets us going on are goals and helps us keep that feeling to remember are goals and that we can do anything. Want my kids to have plenty of funds available for when they go to college. Money Money and more Money there is not anything wrong with wanting more don’t ever let someone tell you there is. Her’s a good one that I really want we have concrete company and yes I go help hubby he hates that I go. I keep telling him soon we wont be going don’t worry cause I hate doing that work its hard labor and I’ll be blunt it SUCKS. So there’s a few of mine and may I say don’t give up there’s story after story that I have read about real people that didn’t give up and there dreams did come true. Only those who gave up will never know what they could of had. In closing
Remember Faith Power Works Wonders…

One more thing how could I forget J.R. SORRY. He is Fantastic watch out he’s on Fire and he will help all of us make are DREAMS come true. You mark my words he is a man of Honor when he says something he does it. So listen closely and ask questions. No I didn’t get paid to say this. LOL
January 25th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
Thanks Melody. I love your story. And I love your last two or three sentences in your first post. I DON’T plan on giving up. It’d be nice if it were just a little easier with working programs and such.
And that is a very powerful statement you said also: “Only those who gave up will never know what they could of had.” That is SO true. So as I said, I DON’T plan to give up. I get more and more “pumped” at each webcast and every new “trick” I learn. It’s a GREAT feeling. I just keep hitting roadblocks it seems, and that isn’t so great.
Thanks again for your contribution of “positiveness”. You are more proof it is possible to ALWAYS be positive and happy if you find your ways around the potholes. 🙂

That’s great don’t give up. Let me tell you I have dyslexia my family has always teased me about the way I spell or write my words or pronouned words I didn’t know for a long time I had dyslexia it was when I was in college I found out. I know I have to try harder but it is worth it. I have only just been learning all this stuff about computers but I won’t give up I either. Like one very famous man once said “I Never Said It Would Be Easy Only Worth It” Jesus. Hope that helps also what I like to say when I don’t understand something or have a hard time spelling words (thank God for spell check)or get stuck on the computer is “What’s The Opportunity That This Is?” Sometimes I have to think hard about it then it comes to me. So keep listening to J.R and we will all be successful.

Dena thanks for opening up and telling us what you want.
I know you are going down the right path. You have all of the tools you need to build a huge business.
I know a few other people who are using the exact same system (asapresumes, extractors etc) and the system is working great for them.
My recommendation for the extractor would be to delete the old one and do a complete reinstall of the new one (should take about 30-seconds).
Let me know if that helps.

Melody thanks alot for those comments.
I love each and every one of you and my success story is helping each of you accmomplish yuor goals.
Dianna and I had dinner with friends this evening. People who are dreaming even big then I do. In fact, one of them is looking at buying a jet next week.
You need to break out of as many of the bad habits as you can. Surround yourself with successful people.
I read somewhere that your income will be within $5,000 of the 4 people you hang around with.
Hang around with drug users and you will proably be a user.
Hang around with people on negative people and you will probably be negative (I hope my mom reads this).

After reading the above posts, I would like everyone to know that I consider myself to be very fortunate to have someone like J.R. as a mentor. J.R. is a seasoned professional who speaks openly and honestly from a position of authority and experience that is rare in this industry. He has been instrumental to both my business success as well as my personal development. I have always been into self improvement, but J.R. has taught me things I would never have learned in a book.
Whenever my wife and I run into someone that knows J.R., we almost always hear them use the same two words used to describe him: “Marketing Genius.” And it is very true. I would put up J.R. against any “PhD Marketing Guru” out there. Give each of them the same budget and time frame and I would bet my mortgage that J.R. gets better results.
And as the business gurus say, “the only thing that matters are the results you get.”
I am very grateful for having J.R. and Dianna in our lives – it has made a world of difference.

Thanks for posting the video and inspirational message J.R. The video especially really hit home with me because I love Rocky, but not only that, it reminded me of the exact opposite of how I was raised. I’ve always been told “No this” and “No that” and I should be this or that from my folks and I think somewhere along the way, I had forgotten who I really wanted to be. And now at 26 years old, parts of me feel like I’m headed in the right direction, but there’s certain parts that are still very uncertain. I finished reading the alchemist this morning, then did some meditation and asked for some help and what my true purpose was. Then literally minutes after I jumped onto the internet watched a video from the CEO of the current MLM company I’m with and heard him mention UTAH. I immediately began researching and eventually it brought me to you.
My biggest goal that I want to achieve is simply having PEACE OF MIND. Knowing that if anything were to happen to me, that my parents, relatives, & future family when I get married and have kids will be taken care of. I grew up as an only child where weekends in Wendover, NV was suppose to be the meal ticket (and it hasn’t changed) and just about every fight my parents ever had in front of me growing up was about money.
Other goals I have are to be able to pay off my student loan debt completely. Purchase a home. Turbo charge my IS300, travel & experience the world, set-up a non-profit or be a regular contributor to a non-profit organization that helps children, and be able to pay for my children’s educations (when I have them & put them through school).
I’m DETERMINED to get myself to the financial point where my kids won’t have to be raised like the way I was, where just about every decision that was made was determined by how much something cost.
I feel that I just need guidance, and I know that I had found you today for a reason. I definitely need to get around more like-minded individuals like yourself. You’re the 1st person that I’ve found in Utah that has had the successes that I would like to have. I hope to be able to spend some face time with you someday soon. Even if I do have to pay for it.
Thanks again for posting J.R.
