Default Before You Buy Anything. Updated Sept. 1 2019 FREE copy here.

One note, I deleted my "memorial" to Dan Kennedy, since he is still fighting the fight.

So, I will have a new update (which means you could be in that version) on or about Sept. 15.

Here 'tis.

Default BONUS. 52 IDEAS.

Read BYBA, get some ideas.

Then, here is a BONUS. I did this for Christmas 2016, but you may find some decent ideas in it.

Default My new mentoring program. For You? Maybe, maybe not.

I've had 500 dollar programs, which worked well. And lower cost programs which had more problems, and as you read in BYBA, why I chose to go with low cost products several times a year vs bigger ticket items. The fact some of you have been buying from me for 20 years is testament to the concept, taught to me by Jim Straw and his "peanuts on a bar" metaphor.

Albeit, I pretty much swore off mentoring, I've had a change of heart. Mainly because my Hollywood Collaborator is going to be around for a year, nearby, and that makes our thing easier more efficient and frees up a little time.

So, here's the deal. I'm going to offer a custom tailored one of a kind mentoring program to you and if I have the ability to deliver it to you...some things I just don't have the knowledge on, like eCom as it is today, and drop shipping which I don't care for.

The guys in BYBA would serve you much better than I could,

Well, I'm willing to commit a year to your success, if you have some idea of what you want. I may offer a one off, WHAT DO YOU WANT type thing for a 45 day period too.

But if you have some idea of what you want to do, we'll set up a VIEW FROM THE ROOFTOP, CREATE the rungs up the side (52 platforms, 7 steps each)...
which serves as YOUR

BLUEPRINT to follow based on your time, knowledge, skills and goals.

The year deal is 995, and the 45 day figuring out what you want deal is 175.

Let's start with some email, so we can determine if we'd be a good fit. Fair enough?

Gordon Jay

PS We'll be USING a lot of the tools from the GJA SQUARE ONE WORKSHOPS TOO.

PPS If you learn how to apply the SQ1, I'll consider making you a master teacher of them.

Money back guarantee: only for the year deal, no refunds on the 45 day finding yourself thing. Once we set the plan, YOUR PLAN, based on YOUR GOALS, then after 6 months if it isn't working for you, or you've had a change of heart, or if you need to pay your rent (that's actually happened)...then I will gleefully give you every penny back. Although, if you aren't serious to begin with, and lack the DESIRE, DON'T waste either of our time, OK?

Default A few guidelines for you.

What do you want? If you've been around here for awhile, you may be sick of hearing it. Fair enough.

I can help you figure that out, in about 45 days (for 175 bux) and this is the process. First we exchange email.

I'll ask you a few questions, get a feel for you. Then we chat. Allow one hour for our initial chat, where we do an ASSESSMENT. Where you are at, where you want to go, or think you want.

In the last 25 years, the majority have wanted MORE MONEY, but are stuck on the right way for THEM to get it. And trying systems, courses, doing this and that seldom leads to the money.

YOU need a FOCUS, built around your FOUNDATION of your experiences, skills, knowledge, wants and desires. Then we build a FRAMEWORK around your customized blueprint.

Then you go do what you need to do. Without me tagging along.

The 995 a year program starts somewhat similar, we have to have baseline information, like we gather in the WHAT YOU WANT (175) program.

After you decide what you want, we create a PERSONALIZED PROGRAM PLAN. The PPP has quarterly evaluations, weekly checkpoints, and specific time frames.

The biggest mistake most make is, OVERESTIMATING the amount of time you really have to do this.

In both the 175 and 995 programs, we spend some time looking at all the possibilities for you. If you are 42, 5'6" and want to play in the NBA, we won't even get started.

But if you want to double your income, for example, we look at the easiest and the lowest hanging fruit for you to pick to realize that goal.

Now, I probably won't work with anyone who has a goal of less than 5k a month at the end of the year, that is a MINIMUM you should bring with you.

I'm not wasting my time on people who don't want some SIGNIFICANT growth.

We'll look at the whole spectrum of money making opportunities, from the Voo-Doo Investor world (including crypto, weed, stocks, Forex, etc.) which can make you rich very quickly, if you have the stomach for it (I don't), but I know plenty of people who make their living making deals on their computers, basically pushing buttons for TRANSACTIONS.

One thing we will discuss is the TIME vs MONEY paradigm, and how many things take up too much time.

There was a time when I was very sociable and liked to get out among the people, although after a couple of years under Harvey Brody's wing, I had a total shift away from that to CONTROL of my time, or working much less and making more money.

I just can't see doing all kinds of things to get a customer. Actually, this is why INvesting is so appealing, no people contact.

My other BIG Ah-Ha (via Harvey and others) was, no PRINCES of FIEFDOMS.

It took awhile to wrap my head around this, but it has been huge for me.

And I'm going to use the OSCARS of HOLLYWOOD as a metaphor. There have been people like Woody Allen, Marlon Brando, Kate Hepburn, George C. Scott are among the more notable, who REFUSED the award.

Reasons vary, but the gist of this is, if you accept praise, then you accept criticism. Both are judgments. And ARTISTS don't need judges, their work, their craft, their art is all that there is.
I don't allow anyone to judge what I do.

I did. I liked getting the little statues of TOASTMASTERS, after winning a competition. But my best work, didn't even place.

We live in a competitive world, and there is all the noise about competing. Which is a way of comparing. If running track or playing sports, it comes with the territory.

In the game of life, comparison is the poison we take of our own accord.

Who knows better than YOU if you've done your best?

A story of veterans. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I get it when I wear my Navy hats, although, I've mostly quit wearing them.

I was in a place with someone I knew, a Navy veteran, who was the biggest screw up there was. Busted a couple times, brought up to Captain's Mast on several occasions. Someone I would not trust beside me on the Sub.

But he wears his Navy hat, and sucks up the THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE that comes his way.

Really? I'm going to thank that guy?? How do I know if he gave good service? And if he was drafted, especially late in the Vietnam war, and spent his time stoned, high or selling drugs...why would I want to thank him for that?

MY point is. My shipmates could tell you if I should be thanked or not for MY service. They know, were there, saw.

How it relates to YOU and your business? One thing I mentor you in is to REJECT all criticism, critique, or opinions from people who don't know what your goals are or what you are doing. Let your RESULTS be your guide, you know if you did your best or where you slacked off.

I don't give pats on the back, or kicks in the butt. Bring your own darn motivation for crying in the buckets.

When you set down goals, it is pretty simple, you either reach them or you don't. If you get to week 34 and you are behind, that is on you. I don't need to yell, or motivate, or indulge you, it is what it is.

So, maybe this will scare a few away who have been considering the 995 program. I'll do everything within my power to assist, mentor, guide you to where you want to go, but there won't be any golden statues at the end of the year, and the harshest critic will be your own results.

Take it or leave it.

Gordon

This one piece of advice should be shouted from the rooftops all over the country.

It is one of the best ways to keep yourself going, upbeat, and focused that anyone can put into practice today.

Amen, Amen, Amen !!!

Default We live in a world of low self esteem, bullying, and comparison.

Thanks Millard.

Life doesn't come with instructions. No manual, guide, or instruction booklet (Until the GJA-SQ1).

We are TOLD how we should be, we are instructed in how our lives SHOULD be, we are controlled, manipulated and influenced for our own good, or so adults believe that when raising children.

By the time we are 12, we have heavy neural imprints, from religion, government, adult "care"takers but no one, has given us the HOW LIFE WORKS.

So, it is the purpose of the GJA-SQ1 WORKSHOPS. To offer a guide.

Basic instructions on how life works. It is not complicated.

You are born (LIFE). Your will die. Between those two points in time is your life. Not much say in it for the first dozen years or so, someone is in control of you (as a child).

Adults have CHOICES. Free Will (or do they?). They take control of their lives or surrender the control to others.

What many do not understand is how those early child influences are STILL at work, still in play, and unless brought to conscious awareness, we will never know what invisible forces are working on us, usually against our best interests.

Religions give millions a safety blanket of comfort, and eliminates thinking, which is the hardest thing we do. Most critical thinking is taught out of us by the time we are 12, because conformity suits our societies.

Governments try to control billions of people.

Pseudo religions, also offer escapes.

We have failed to instruct people in LIFE. How life works. Not just for me, you or us, but for everyone, born anywhere, of any race, religion or ethnicity.

The GJA-SQ1 can do that, but, I don't think people are interested in learning, because it requires them to think. The want shortcuts rather than thought.

It is much easier to assign BLAME, to not accept responsibility, that we have put ourselves in the place where we are, with the exceptions of unavoidable accidents and illness.

Even those gurus of Self Actualization, and fulfillment...try to dictate what it means, and what their idea of success is, with all sorts of guides, checklists, and of course MONEY involved.

We're born. We die. We either have control of our life, or we don't. Barring sickness and accident, still 98% of adults in the Free world are responsible for their condition, and today, even in the countries which control their citizenry (or try to) from cradle to casket, they are losing the battle of self discovery.

Gordon

PS. Prompt me, I'll tell you all why there is no such thing as a sub-conscious mind because the Mind IS a construct to describe various brain activity. It comes in handy, especially in the Billion Dollar MANIFESTATION "religion", of which I am a high priest, sans the 19.95 certificate of achievement.
