OfflineGood morning everyone! a copy and paste from my last journal post since sometimes journals get overlooked. 
"Been forever since posted in there! Guess just comes a time when what started as an accountability tool....becomes NOT needed after awhile! LOL
Just an update and sharing a bit of excitement.....**UPDATED** Official Freedom Date: 12/16/2011!!! Walking away from the JOB! - o.k. running from it - bbhhahahaah!
a job = it comes a point when it's actually costing you money. lol Get out there and replace your job! Buy your life back! Break free from bondage! Live your life on your terms!
Keep pressing forward, you CAN do anything you make your mind up to do. BUT you have to put the work behind it! You will have to make some changes (mostly with yourself), you will have challenges and obstacles to overcome, you will have to make sacrifices, you will get beat up quite a bit, will will have scrapes, bruises and bloody battle wounds, you will get knocked down....BUT you will hit huge milestones, you will have huge victories, you will overcome, you will pick up momentum, you will have people that once blew you off, calling to try and get 20 min of your time, you will make more in your business than you ever could in your J.O.B. (just over broke - lol)! IF you don't quit! REMEMBER: Doing whatever it takes does not come with terms and conditions.
Owe everything to my Lord and Savior! He is my strength. Everything I am, everything I will be, all the impacts I will make, lives that will be forever changed because I lived.....all because of Him and FOR His Glory!
Without a doubt huge gratitude and my life forever changed because of Dean.
Debt of gratitude and a life of service to the two that made the biggest impacts on me: Dean and Matt. Thank you so much which doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what overflows from my heart!
Thank you to sooo many I am reluctant to name names in that I may unintentionally omit someone. But Thank You to Dean, Matt L., Success Academy, Carol S., Rina, Joe & Stacey, Randy V., Greg M., Jay S., Bill P., Jim K., Michael M., Karen G., Curtis F., Jan M., John G., Tammy R., Valerie R., Linda M., Elix B., Steve G., and Shaun O. Some of you guys were that I followed every spoke word and some I've had direct contact/networking. All have been wind beneath my wings! All have changed my life! Always such great encouragers, amazing insights, and wisdom. What an amazing group of WINNERS!
To new lives, to new beginnings! This is ONLY the first step. About to catch 2nd gear - lol!! I haven't even gotten started good yet!! haha!
MAKE it an amazing day DG.com!
It's your life, your choices, you choose how your tomorrow will be!
luven u!

Jen,
I am so proud of you. You will never know how much you have inspired me to continue with REI. With a lot of hard work and total focus, you have set yourself free. What a Blessing!
GOD is really so GOOD!!!

Hey Lori,
Thank you so much for the kind words.
I am so blessed that I have in some small way been a little ray of sunshine to you in REI. But honestly, you DO have far more strength that I think you have yet to realize for yourself! I AM SOOO stinking proud of you! You have grown SOOO much! You are making HUGE leaps and bounds. What tells me that and confirms you WILL be a HUGE success is your determination and work ethic. You without question do exactly what you learn. You learn then implement! The knowledge gives you the direction the action gets you the results.
Don't forget to celebrate those obstacles you over come, the new levels that you reach. Remember you're moving one step closer to your goals!
Keep me posted on the progress! Keep kicken tail and taking names girl! You are no doubt a force to be reckoned with!
If I can serve you in any way, don't hesistate to reach out!
God bless,
Jen
Impressive! Looks like someone got down to business!
Even though I don't post anymore, I have been keeping an eye on you and your progress. You have done very well. I am very proud of you.
Life as you know is now ready to begin.
Welcome to the Club!

You've got to find your obstacles and call them out! Unsheath the sword, and do battle with whatever it is that holds you back!

lol! "got down to business" yeah, well you kept saying "Go Faster" so I just listened and was obedient! haha!
Thank you Matt I appreciate you far more than you know! You are so awesome! You have impacted and changed soooo many lives....and yes, you can go ahead and bump Jen to the top of the list for most impacted! LOL
You told me once "The world can't deny someone who want be denied".....so I trusted you and it just kind of stuck with me.
May blessings be returned to you 100 fold for the blessing you are to me!
To new beginnings!
God bless,
Jen
You go girl!!! You got me excited just reading how excited you were...lol
Freedom truly is awesome!! Enjoy it!

Jen, your post inspired me this morning when I was scared and logging on here wanting to be productive but not knowing how to start. Thank you so much.
Freedom truly is awesome!! Enjoy it!
LOL! Yes, definately pretty stoked!!
Thank you so much Carol! You are and have been an amazing encourangement and example for me!
God bless and HAPPY Thanksgiving to you and your family!
May your cup runneth over!
Hugs,
Jen
We've all been there! You CAN do this. Don't get overwhelmed.
Study, take action, plug into DG.com...rinse and repeat! Keep it simple, follow Dean's techniques. You CAN have and do anything you set your mind to. If you get stuck on something, use the search engine to seek out the answer or post a forum topic and ask, you will find your answers.
One thing I have learned....When we want something bad enough, we WILL find a way to get it!
As the brilliance above (Carol Stinson) says "sometimes you have to drag fear with you"
Keep on keeping on.
God bless,
Jen
Very impressive! Looks like you are giving yourself the best early Christmas present... FREEDOM! Give thanks to the Lord for He is Good!

I have GOT to make this RE work because I wouldn't be able to stand hearing the jeering laughs of others who say I can't do this or that RE doesn't work.
I love reading posts like this! I have no doubt you will reach your goals!

Nicely done on the apt bldg.!!! GREAT JOB!

@ conquesttsi89 - YES, No doubt you CAN do it!!! And YES, I have come a LLOONNGG way!
@ RENinja - Thank you! All I can say (nicely - lol) about the naysayers.....PROVE THEM WRONG! Let the 'junk'/ negative/ comments fuel you! It's easier for them to try and bring you down then for them to try to come up to your level! Keep pressing on!
@ masseur07 - my plan/purpose. To help/assist/impact as MANY people as possible! To leave it better than I found it!
Many blessings,
Jen
I'm hoping to be right behind you in my own RE career.
I need to make the change back to having choices again. RE success will do that!
Hope to see you at a DG event.
Continued success!

Yes, you paid the price, but FREEDOM is worth it, girl! You, me and everyone in the deep blue sea knows it!!!! And now it’s all on YOUR terms! Doesn’t it feel so goooood?!
Jen, there’s one thing I know beyond a shadow of a doubt. There is NO WAY that I would be sitting here right now, waiting for tomorrow - 2:30pm to get here for the Property Inspection on my FIRST deal – without YOUR encouragement, motivation, selfless sharing of knowledge and gold nuggets , and the many, many moments of inspiration you have sent my way. I would have thrown in the towel again (almost did), if not for you and I just can’t thank you enough!
I am SO proud of you and what you have accomplished in such a short time since I’ve known you. If it were me, I would have quit the JOB LONG AGO! Something tells me I won’t be far behind you.
Good luck on your future “ventures”. I know you have a plan in place and if there’s a plan to execute, you’ll be one to do it!
Thanks for sharing, and I’ll still be watching, following, and copying you so, don’t stray too far!
Godspeed,
John

John,
I've known you could do it ALL along!
YEAH!!! SOOOO excited about the first one in sight! I am soooo very proud of you!
But can't take credit for anything......it was ALL you John. You've done the work. Will be YOUR VICTORY....YOUR WIN! Leaving the closing with check in hand of that first deal, is oh so sweet. In a split second the pride, accomplishment, self esteem and confidence all mixed with happiness and tears for following through, not giving up, keeping those promises to ourselves and others that WE COULD DO IT! Nope, John....that's all YOU my friend! You earn it!
It will click, you will pick up momentum, then you have the shift and Dean says "the wind to your back".
I believe in you John! The life you want.....it's waiting for you to TAKE IT! Make it happen!
If I can serve you in anyway, you know how to reach me!
God bless,
Jen
So proud of you and your achievements. You truly are an inspiration for us all. Continued success on your journey and hope to see you in person one day. God Bless.

My deal to pay for the cruise hasn't come in yet but I've been to almost everywhere the cruise is going. If you or someone wants to pay for me to go and to be their personal guide, I'm at your service

Thank you Karen (roomie - lol...can't wait!)
I appreciate all of your kind words of encourangement!
My son....wow! If he only truly knew how much he's my air. I will to the day I die implant in him how he CAN do anything he sets his mind to. That he is destined for greatness! That he will change the world! That he is blessed and favored! I tell him this EVERY single day. But I ALSO know that actions speak louder than worlds! I hope to be the example that will encourange him to dream BIG!
He's reading Dean's Totally Fulfilled right now. I will love and support him no matter what he chooses to do. But I do educate him that whatever his path, to choose based on facts and having all the data. ex: If he chooses to get a JOB it will not lead him to financial independence. If he wants to go to college it's for the knowledge/experience NOT to prepare him to go out and "get a good job" (yuck, felt dirty just saying those words - LOL)! Basically bottom line, I want him to have choices, to create the life he wants, I want him to realize God didn't put us on this earth to live in bondage and opt in the 40/40 plan (40 hrs wk for 40 yrs).
My bad Karen, got off on my soap box again. lol! I will try and control myself on the cruise! bbhhahahah!
luv u guys back!
hugs,
jen
I am sure we will be reading about you in one of Dean's new books.
God bless you in your new line of work.

Thank you Jay! You're so awesome!
"time to celebrate" - yeah, no doubt will do the 'happy dance', probably get mani/pedi (little deferred maint. - look like I've been kicking rocks - bhhahhaah) THEN take things UP notch!
Got quite a few big things happening. I in no way am slowing down, quite the opposite!! I already have a detailed schedules, plans, and check points to keep myself in target to hitting my next goals all while preparing for the next! Kind of like having your feet on the ground while reaching for the stars!
As Dean says "sometimes you have to break things to have a breakthrough"! leaving the JOB was something I planned/prepared for, now must break it!!
Appreciate you!
God bless,
Jen
Girl, you are just awesome!!!
you have been, are, and always will be a great source of inspiration for me and everyone around you!
Just a word of wisdom from one mom to another
... never tell your son that he is 'special'; when I said it to my son he said it made him sound like he was retarded-LOL!!! So.. keep using the word 'GREATNESS' and nothing less!
Blessings always,
Valerie
