My youngest sister asked me about how I got started recently and I began telling her the story again.

She stopped me.



She said, "I've heard the story, I want to know how you got the confidence to get started knowing nothing about business."

I said, "I'll get back to you..."

I actually thought about it for days and I came up with this answer.

"Confidence comes when you have the courage to start without confidence."

That was it.

I decided to commit to the desire to start a freedom business and I mustered all my courage and I just started.

I slowly, but surely gathered the information to get started and I tested and tested.  I finally got to know my audience and I focused on getting them the value they wanted.

After doing that, I got more and more confident.

It was really blind, tiny courage that got me started.  

Then that grew into confidence.

All you have to do is start.  

Gather all the courage you have now and get a huge jump start on your journey by not having to slowly figure it out over years.

587 | The catch-22 of getting started…

I was watching a TEDtalk on Youtube yesterday.  It was from an author I was currently reading.  It was great.



A 3rd wave feminist complaining video showed up in the list of video recommendations on the right hand side, I'm not sure why

Normally, I can withstand the temptation to watch such time sucks...

I watched it.

About halfway through I got a text and picture from a friend of mine.  He had just gotten up the mountain to Machu Picchu.  

I've talked about this friend before.  He is the one that started and owns a family bank, all with the proceeds of his freedom business.

I asked him if it was hard getting to the Inca ruin site, one of the new seven wonders of the world.  I had heard it can be a real pain.

I'm not a world traveler, so I only retain the nightmare stories when it comes to world travelling.

He said, "Ya, stuff went wrong and I loved every minute of it all. I'm standing in Machu Picchu!"

I had just watched a video of a screeching harpy complaining about not getting enough free stuff from others and here is my friend living his dreams because he worked his ass off creating value for others.

He wasn't born rich, he built his wealth by creating value, rather the demanding resources from others.

It made me think of something, you can be a victim or a hero, but you can't be both.

You get to decide which way you will live, but you can't have both.

Victim or hero?

657 | You can only have one.

I'm currently working on a new set of goals.  Mostly they are around my new business idea I'm working on and a few are upgrading some personal goals I made last year.



One part of the goal setting process I don't hear any internet business people talking about is something I learned in the Army.

I drove troop transport vehicles in the Army.  

I did it for college money, being as I was to poor to even know there were scholarships, grants, and school loans… more on that another time.

I drove my troop transport vehicles for a special forces group up in Washington State.

The special forces guys were crazy!

The stuff I saw... I can't believe what these guys can do.

One thing that wasn't shocking, but was simply amazing was how they planning out their missions.  One aspect I loved was called the Backwards Planning Method.

Whenever they had a mission, they would start at the clear end state (goal/target) and plan everything they could think of BACK to the start position.

Does that make sense?

Instead of starting at the beginning and planning forward, like most people do, they would start at the final goal and plan every step they could think of, one successful step at a time, backwards to the beginning.

Honestly, most people don't have goals.  

If they do have goals, they just have the outcome in their mind and that's about it.

The Backwards Planning Method is a bit on the advanced side, for sure.

I suggest you try it on your top goal sometime, but there is one place you DON'T need to use this method.

The Freedom Club.

Nope, it's all laid out, step by step from being a total beginner all the running a 7 figure freedom business.

I have it laid out in 3 phases:

--Phase One: Make your first $500 online (on the side)

Included are a bunch of courses and bonuses with everything you need to finish the phase successfully.

--Phase Two: Replace Your Income and Quit Your Job!

Included are a bunch of courses and bonuses with everything you need to finish the phase successfully.

--Phase Three: Build a 7-Figure Business!

Yep, you guessed it.  Included are a bunch of courses and bonuses with everything you need to finish the phase successfully.

The Backwards Planning Method and other advanced strategies are all built into the Freedom Club.  You won't notice them or need to know all about them to make them work, you just start at the beginning and work your way through.

Tiny steps, consistently, that's all you need to do.

Well, there is one more thing you'll need to do…

656 | Using Military secrets to get what you want.

A few months ago I opened the Freedom Club.  As you have heard the response was exciting!
 


There was one question I got enough times that I thought I’d answer it here.
 
“What **type** of business does the Freedom Club teach?”
 
Fantastic question!  
 
My first answer is, “The best type!”  That’s no joke but more on that in a minute.
 
By **type** what people mean is what is the business model.
 
Is it a physical products business I’ll be selling on Amazon?
 
Is it a coaching business?
 
Will I have a blog?
 
Will I have to do a podcast?
 
Do I need to do a bunch of videos for Youtube?
 
Will I have to get over my fear of speaking and get on stage and sell?
 
Let me start at the beginning, the business I teach is a Relationship Business.
 
What do I mean by that?
 
I mean that it’s about getting clear on the lifestyle you want, the audience you want to create for, and the Value Cycle relationship between you and that audience.
 
Everything you do will be about your lifestyle and that relationship with your audience.
 
The better the relationship with your audience, but better your lifestyle will be.
 
I don’t teach how to sell physical products on Amazon.  I actually did some tests on that a while ago and it was a nightmare. 
 
You create a simple blog in the Freedom Club, but that happens by clicking a button.  No hard coding or learning computer languages or anything.  Which I still don’t know how to do after all these years.
 
The Freedom Club will not go into podcasting or making videos, I consider those advanced tactics and your audience may not even have time for them.  
 
The Freedom Club goes into the fundamentals of creating the perfect relationship with your audience and letting **them** tell you what they want to buy.  
 
You don’t even have to figure that out, they will tell you!
 
That’s just one reason why it really is the best type of business, in my not so humble opinion, and I’ve tried out a handful of other types...

654 | The first big question you *must* answer…

Boy, I'll tell you what...



Anytime I talk about what it takes to succeed, the whiny snowflakes come out to do their thing.

Here is an email I got yesterday that I'm going to use to help you with your mindset.  As condescending and 'fixed' mindset as it is, I'm going to take a crack at it.

My comments will follow her SJW rant.

"You come across as very judgmental. I'm 
not sure if you're open to feedback, but 
I recommend that you read Carol Dweck's 
book Mindset for some tips on how to use 
language that is less based on praise and 
intimidation.  That is, unless your intention 
is to communicate that only "smart, non-lazy" 
people will buy your product. I wish you the 
best with your business. I hope you read that 
book, and you put more of your best self out 
into the world. There are many people you can 
help. I'm sure you have something wonderful to 
offer.  Keep putting in effort and trying new 
tactics."

Janna

--I don't just come across as judgmental, I am.  

We all are.  

You are.  

You just judged me to be judgmental.  

It was totally obvious, but you were right.  We are both judgmental.

Next.

Carol Dweck's book is awesome.  It is so good that when I read it years ago I added it to the top of my reading list, which you can find here:
http://www.jeremyfrandsen.com/books/

I write my posts to the growth mindset people.  

I write my posts to turn OFF the fixed mindset people.  I can't change the fixed mindset of another person, even if I wanted to.  Instead I have an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email, just for them, and I suggest they stop reading my posts rather than get their panties in a bunch.  I want them to leave, because I don't want them to come into the Freedom Club Mastermind Group and ruin the budding success mindsets that are growing there.

To your next point, yes, I am only intending to communicate to those with growth mindsets that are open to accepting and growing a success mindset.

These posts are to help smart people get over their fears and past programming to enable them to get the freedom business these very much desire.

Next.

You are right, there are many more I can help.  

As I've said, I want to take the 10,000 people I've already helped to start freedom businesses over the last 13 years and make it 100,000.  I can't do that with a bunch of snowflake, whiny, loser mindset type people gumming up the works.

I don't have a magic wand I can use to change their mindset, only they can change it (maybe), I have to weed them out to let those with the guts and curiosity and grit needed to become successful.

Those that are easily offended are usually fixed mindset people, so that makes it much easier to piss them off to weed them out so they will unsubscribe or stop reading my posts.

Success isn't for the faint of heart.  Not one of the people I know that are objectively successful with their freedom business need to clutch their pearls and faint back onto a Victorian couch at what I or anyone else says.  

They have grit, determination, and a massive growth mindset.

My suggestion, Janna (and you reading this now), is to read Mindset if you feel any tingly feelies telling you to be offended at this post.  Get rid of that fixed mindset, it's not doing you any good.

653 | Reality is a bitter pill for some…

Not long ago I asked what was in the way of you joining the Freedom Club and here is just one of the answers I received.



This one is a general excuse about time.

Here are a couple replies, then I'll comment after each one.

"Too much to do! Every time I do one thing I, I need to do 5 other things to figure out how to do the first thing right..."

~Sarah

--Look, saying you're too business isn't a time problem, it's a priority problem.  What you're really saying is that you've not made making a freedom business a priority yet.

When I got started I had a mortgage, 12 hour days at work including drive time, a wife and 2 young kids, and two dogs.

I understand the excuse, but during that time I also watched a lot of movies and TV shows and even somehow had time to play some video games.

I had no time, until I made escaping the rat race the highest priority I could.

With that in mind, the Freedom Club is designed to get through with just 30 minutes a day.  If that's too much for you in the start, just do 15 minutes a day.

Change your priorities to change your life.

"Hah, honestly it seems like it's just laziness! I keep coming up with excuses for why I'm "too busy" to do anything etc. etc., when in reality I'M NOT THAT BUSY!! Got any advice for not being lazy/making excuses??

Thanks!
James"

--I really like that the second person was at least honest about it!

My answer to you is simply to start.  

1- Sign up for the Freedom club, it only takes a couple minutes.  
2- Go inside and open the first course, the Freedom Formula.  
3- The first thing to do is listen to an audio.  Put a timer on and do 5 minutes, that's it.  
4- Then you can go back to being lazy.

Put an alarm on your phone and set it for the same time tomorrow.  When the alarm goes off, do 5 more minutes.

It'll be easy to do it this way as the Freedom Club is step by step.  You don't have to waste time trying to figure out what comes next, just go to the next item.

Laziness is overcome by taking small, easy steps.  Stop looking at the big picture, which just overwhelms most people.  Just see what the step is in front of you and take JUST that step.

In a few days you'll be so excited about the journey you have started you won't be able to stop even if you wanted to.

You've got this, just take step #1 right now here:
