I can't remember what Dana was 39 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: going to school for. But we ended up meeting, but 40 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: not really going into the relationship wise. We were just friends. 41 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: Then we both ended up dropping out of school. She 42 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: moved to New York with her dad. I dropped out 43 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: and I started immediately working and banking, and it just 44 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 2: so happened that I want to say about two years 45 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: in to being in school, I was I'm gonna say 46 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: I was about twenty years old at the time.

I looked at him and start laughing. 81 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: Ever since then, we've been together since, and I remember 82 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: the first time, just to kind of go into business, right, 83 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: I remember the first time she pulls up to my 84 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: apartment because we were going to dinner, but she was 85 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: coming from New York, so she had to drive down 86 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: and she pulls up to the front of my apartment. 87 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: In mind you, I'm living in Philadelphia and not really 88 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 2: in the nicest area. And her car is wrapped with 89 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 2: her face on it, and it says it says ass 90 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: scene on TV and bright red. No a vehicle like 91 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: a wrap car? Yeah? What was it? A h it was? Yeah, 92 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: it was a truck Ford doors as seen on TV 93 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: with her face on there, right. And then there's a 94 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 2: driver in the front seat. She's in the back seat. 95 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 2: So I get I've run out of my apartment and 96 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: straight to her car, and I tell the driver, you'll 97 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: pull off right now. I'm like, well, off right now, 98 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 2: because I'm not trying to get ribbed or anybody think 99 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: I got it. I got some money or something. So 100 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: I asked her when we were in a car, and 101 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, I don't really want to, you know, 102 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: I want to announce the elephant in the room. Why 103 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 2: is your car wrapped? And this was the first rule 104 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 2: of business that she taught me, is that I would 105 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: much rather promote my own business before a business that 106 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 2: doesn't pay me. And from there that blew my mind, 107 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: and ever since then we've been in separable since we 108 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: got married two years ago. And yeah, that's my that's 109 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: my dog. 110 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 4: So all right, so you got jumping jack, So all right, 111 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 4: jumping jack tax joint is it joint owned or correct? 112 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: Correct? Jumping jack taxes joint owned between me, my wife, 113 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 2: and my father in law. 114 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 5: So before you were working at the bank, right, Well, 115 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 5: that's correct that you decided to quit. 116 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: Correct, it was like we're off and running with this 117 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: thing now, correct. So uh, just to kind of no, 118 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: so so just to kind of just to kind of 119 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: give a backstory, just kind of give a backstory of 120 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: how this happened. Right as soon as I dropped out 121 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: of community college, I started working in banking. I actually 122 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: working at TD Bank. I worked up the ladder, I 123 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: was a bank teller, and then I moved over into insurance. 124 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: So I actually got my insurance license in the state 125 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 2: of Pennsylvania and New Jersey life insurance casualty. Uh, and 126 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 2: then in health correct. Yeah, And I was selling a 127 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 2: ton of annuities. I probably sold about, I want to say, 128 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,119 Speaker 2: about ten million dollars worth of annuities for the bank. 129 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 2: And funny, I never received one single commission from that. 130 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 3: I was just about to say, that's a lot of commission. 131 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 2: I never brother. I never received one commission for that, 132 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 2: and I was just getting paid a salary of fifteen 133 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 2: dollars an hour until I started to wake up and realize, like, damn, 134 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: my skills really mean so much, but I only got 135 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: ten bucks in my account right. And then I moved 136 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 2: over into Wells Fargo because I thought that obviously it 137 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,559 Speaker 2: would be better to just get paid more by another 138 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: company as opposed to doing my own. So I wasn't 139 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 2: thinking the right way. And when I moved over to 140 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: Wells Fargo, that's when I continued to sell annuities for them, 141 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: and I met my wife, and then she just came 142 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: to me one day and was like, yo, I want 143 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 2: you to leave your job come work for the family business. 144 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: And I said, you know what, I've had enough. The 145 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 2: very next day, I ended up leaving the bank after 146 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: four or five years, and from there I started actually 147 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 2: working for the family business. I was serving my wife. 148 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: And this is something that a lot of minus understand 149 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: as well. A lot of men put their pride in 150 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 2: the way of actually learning from whomever. And I said 151 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: this before, is that it's interesting how men have no 152 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: issues with learning from their supervisor who's a woman, or 153 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,559 Speaker 2: their manager who's a woman. But yet the very woman 154 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: that God sent into their life, which could be their girl, 155 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 2: their wife, or whomever, they immediately believe that they're supposed 156 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: to look down upon her, appreciate that. And for me 157 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: and for me, I'm like me, I don't block my blessings. 158 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: I learned from whomever is in my space. And my wife, 159 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 2: as y'all seen in part one, she is a firecracker 160 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: and I respected that so much. And I'm a dummy 161 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: when it comes to learning. So any room that I 162 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 2: go into, I'm going to sit and I'm going to 163 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 2: ask questions to learn from whomever.

And 213 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 2: I'll tell you that was I respect him so much 214 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 2: because that was something that my dad didn't even do 215 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: for me, and me and him don't really have a 216 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 2: relationship right now. He was in and out of in 217 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: and out of my house and I had to take 218 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: care of my mom and my grandmother, you know. So, 219 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 2: and by the way, my mom and grandmother's now retired. 220 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 2: They worked for us. But and that was that was 221 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: the least that I could do in return for something 222 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 2: that you know, my father couldn't do. But my father 223 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: in law stepped up and taught me all the qualities 224 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 2: of what was necessary to be a man. And from 225 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: there that's how I got where I'm at now. 226 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 3: I saw when you said that you had to pay at. 227 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: First, absolutely absolutely, how did that work? So I remember 228 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: the first phone conversation I had with him, and we 229 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 2: were on the phone and I was asking him for help, 230 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 2: and I said, hey, I want you to mentor me 231 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: because at the time I hadn't. I hadn't I had 232 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 2: an e commerce business, which I'm going to get into 233 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: that too. I had an e commerce business and I 234 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 2: was trying to grow. It was a jewelry business. I 235 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: was selling inspirational jewelry and Dana had vouched for me 236 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: at the time and said, hey, he's a good dude. 237 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 2: Get on the phone with him. The day I got 238 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 2: on the phone with him, he said, hey, listen, man, 239 00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: I'm not really for the riff raff and nothing like 240 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: that or having incomplete conversations. Because I'm gonna tell you 241 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 2: especially one thing I learned in business. A lot of 242 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 2: people will play around with you but never get to 243 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 2: the point of talking about the deposit, right, and they 244 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 2: waste a lot of time. And that's not something I 245 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 2: like to do anymore. So I respected him for that. 246 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: He got straight to the punch and say, yo, listen, 247 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: I need money and it's going to cost ten thousand 248 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 2: dollars in order for me to mentor you and help 249 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: turn your business to the next level. And like Dana said, 250 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 2: which is so important is success has history. You feel 251 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 2: me like a lot of times we'll get around a 252 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 2: millionaire or somebody who has achieved the extraordinary and then 253 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: we start doubting the very qualities that made you attracted 254 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 2: to that individual just because a price point came. And 255 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: for me, I had to realize, damn, look what he's 256 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: differ for his daughter, Look what he's differ for his 257 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 2: own business as the children's entertainment company. And I said, man, 258 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 2: I gotta do what I gotta do. So at the time, 259 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 2: I ended up pulling money from like I think I 260 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 2: had a retirement account of the town with Wells Fargo. 261 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: I ended up the money from that and I gave 262 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: him the deposit, which was the first investment that I 263 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 2: ever made a larger investment for him to be able 264 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 2: to help me. And then it just excelled from that 265 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 2: point on. But just to kind of go into like 266 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: the e commerce business, right and. 267 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 7: You the very and sorry to jump in, honey, but 268 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 7: the very money that he gave my father, we gave 269 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 7: it back to him to put towards. 270 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 5: Jumping drag text was it was it a situation where 271 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 5: he just wanted to see if he was serious. 272 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: About absolutely absolutely he had he had to pull my card. 273 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, he wanted to see if a lot of the 274 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 7: time what happens is we constantly want to take from something, 275 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 7: but are we willing to give? 276 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 2: And he had to pull my card to see if 277 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 2: I was truly serious about entrepreneurship because a lot of 278 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 2: people got so much talk man.

I had a license in insurance and I 286 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: sold over ten million dollars in annuities. How in the 287 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 2: world did I go from selling insurance to selling inspirational jewelry. 288 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 2: The worst mistake I've ever made in entrepreneurship was chasing 289 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 2: my passion over my skill. Wow. And there are so 290 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 2: many entrepreneurs right people that are working at jobs that 291 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: are entrepreneurs, but they feel as though that the very 292 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: thing that's going to make them successful or rich is 293 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: that passion that's deep inside of them. 294 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 7: All. 295 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: I'm going to be a rapper, or I'm going to 296 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: make it to the NFL or the NBA, not realizing 297 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: that you have a less than one percent chance. But 298 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: your job that you're working at, they are teaching you 299 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: the vary skills, the processes and procedures necessary for you 300 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 2: to take that skill from your job to just start 301 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 2: the actual business in that because you already know it. 302 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: You've been there for five years, you've been there for 303 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 2: eight years. Put in the sweat equity, you know. So 304 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: I left the bank of my of in insurance to 305 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: start selling inspirational jelry, and guess what happened. You probably 306 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: know because you're a financial advisor. 307 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 3: What happened with your jew business? 308 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 2: Know what happened with the licenses? 309 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 3: They lapsed? 310 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: My licenses lapsed. I went into the inspirational jewelry business, 311 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 2: which lasted for about two years. And I promise you 312 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: I probably would have made a million dollars two three 313 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 2: years ago with the very skills that I already had 314 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 2: selling ten million for the bank. But I was so 315 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 2: caught up in this passion game, and then I had 316 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 2: to bring it back towards the skill. And it's just 317 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 2: so funny that after two years of being in the 318 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: jewelry business and making all of those mistakes, it brought 319 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 2: me right back over to the very business that I 320 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 2: already knew, which was finances. Went into the tax industry, 321 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: and then within six months jumping Jack tax made a 322 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: million dollars. It's not by coincidence. It was because I 323 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 2: went back into the skill that I already knew. And 324 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: a lot of people here that are listening to this 325 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: podcast or whomever, they have skills, but they're throwing them 326 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 2: away for a fictitious dream. And I'm not telling people 327 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: to get rid of their passion. All that I'm telling 328 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 2: you to do is utilize your skill for five years. Right, 329 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 2: because you got five years you are you already did 330 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: that with a dead end relationship or your job or 331 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 2: at college, whatever that may be. Use that same five 332 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 2: years with your skill and allow that skill to invest 333 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: in your passion. 334 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 3: That's good. 335 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 4: That's like Charlemagne his book, he says your dreams and 336 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 4: what he means by it's like just what you said, 337 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 4: like your dream might be to be a rapper. 338 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 3: People's actually gonna make you as a rapper. 339 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 2: You know, you're playing with odds. 340 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 7: More people need their taxes done than they'll ever buy 341 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 7: your out. 342 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: And that's a fact. 343 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 3: No, that's a fact for sure. 344 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 4: So all right, jumping jack tax Right, so you have 345 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 4: three hundred locations? 346 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 3: Is that correct? 347 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: Four hundred? Now franchise, Well, it's a difference between franchise 348 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: and licensing, but we can get into that. I don't 349 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 2: like to use the word franchising for legal purposes. 350 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 4: So right, so you license it, correct, Okay, okay, what 351 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 4: are the difference? 352 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 2: I'll tell you the difference. So with franchising, of course 353 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 2: you have you got the fair Trade. You got the 354 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: Fair Trade Commission, the Franchise Association where you gotta you 355 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 2: gotta be registered with those with those folks in order 356 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 2: to be Yeah, it's a whole process to be a franchise. 357 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: Not something that I was interested in doing. What I 358 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: was more intrigued by was licensing. 359 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 6: Right. 360 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 2: Now, here's the thing, and this is one of the 361 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 2: biggest things my father in law taught me, is that 362 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 2: you don't want to be the best store in the mall, 363 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: but instead you want to be the mall where all 364 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: the best stores want to be in. Right, people get that. 365 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 2: People get that concept confused. You want to be popular. 366 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 2: Right I could have. I could have went and became 367 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 2: the best tax office. But what happens now when my 368 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 2: wave is gone? What happens now where somebody just don't 369 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: like Princeville I know anymore? And they released some information 370 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 2: that goes all over the internet. Now nobody comes to 371 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 2: my tax office anymore. I gotta shut down the doors. 372 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: The same way with people who have stores that are 373 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: inside of the mall. How many times have you seen 374 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 2: stores inside of the mall shut down every single day 375 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 2: all the time, But how often have you seen the 376 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 2: mall shut down slim to none now. Of course, for 377 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,479 Speaker 2: those who want to be technical, they say, well, Amazon 378 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 2: shutting down the mass. Amazon is just another form of 379 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 2: a mall, just in just in this digital form. It's 380 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 2: just another form. Macy's is another form of the mall, 381 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 2: just digital now because they sell other people's products in there. 382 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 2: You have to become the mall. So for me, when 383 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 2: going into Jumping Jack Techs, the first thing that I 384 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 2: did was, listen, we got to license this thing out 385 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 2: because in order for me to be wealthy, I have 386 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 2: to make other people rich, right, So, and just to 387 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 2: kind of go into just to kind of go into 388 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: this whole licensing thing, and I started doing my research. 389 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 2: I'm a very analytical person, of course, because of numbers 390 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 2: and finances and everything, right, And I did my research 391 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 2: and found out that the number one licenser in the 392 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 2: world right now is Walt Disney. Walt Disney made fifty 393 00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 2: billion dollars just in license the merchandise last year, not 394 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 2: even not even not flying out today today to their 395 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 2: amusement park, just in merchandise. Fifty billion, nothing, just fifty 396 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 2: billion in merchandises, right, and they're the largest in the world. 397 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 2: Let's just even go on to another's Let's go into 398 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,959 Speaker 2: another example of licensing. How a lot of people like 399 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 2: overlooked this so much. We all know George Lucas with 400 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 2: Star Wars, right, I didn't know who that now. What's 401 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 2: funny is when George Lucas first started Star Wars, he 402 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 2: was trying to shop it around to so many different 403 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: production companies, and all of them said no because they 404 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 2: thought Star Wars was gonna be a bust. And next 405 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 2: thing you know, twentieth century Fox came around and said, hey, 406 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 2: we'll take on the movie. Now here's why it's important, 407 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 2: of why you need to take advantage of your name, 408 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 2: and why you need to spread this and keep the 409 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 2: rights to your name and license this thing out. When 410 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: he booked a deal with twentieth Century Fox, the first 411 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 2: thing that he negotiated was he wanted all the rights 412 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 2: to his merchandising and to his name, to the IP. 413 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 2: He wanted to keep it, and twentieth century Fox said, 414 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 2: you know what, I don't care you could take it 415 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 2: because I think Star Wars is gonna be a bust anyway, 416 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 2: but we believe in you, so instead we're just going 417 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: to cancel out your director's raises where if they do 418 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: any sequels, he won't get it. He won't get any 419 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 2: raisers or anything like that. So they made a bad 420 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 2: move because Star Wars became a hit. And now since 421 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: he owned the IP the licensing rights to that, when 422 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 2: he sold it to Walt Disney, he sold that IP 423 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 2: for four billion dollars. So what ended up happening now 424 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: with me understanding that data, I said to myself, I 425 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 2: got a license out to Jumping Jack tax brand. And 426 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 2: what ended up happening was now when starting to jump 427 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 2: in Jack tax brand, the first thing that I looked 428 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 2: at was people need an opportunity and people need a blueprint. 429 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 2: And when you look inside of your communities right now, 430 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 2: you walk down the street, the first thing you see 431 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 2: is a tax office probably on every single corner, whether 432 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: it be an H and R Block, Liberty Tax, Jackson, 433 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 2: HEWITTT and H and R Block. If you didn't know, 434 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 2: May three billion dollars last year off tax preparation Services 435 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 2: and A is one of three companies that make billions 436 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 2: of dollars in this industry, and majority of their offices 437 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 2: are inside of black communities. Facts, and you could look 438 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 2: that up on Google if you don't believe me. They've 439 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 2: been taking advantage of the communities for so long, for 440 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 2: the past I want to say, got to be forty 441 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 2: fifty fifty plus years. And majority of the people who 442 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 2: own these tax offices are also not black. So for me, 443 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 2: there was a problem, and I said, you know what, 444 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 2: I got to create a blueprint. I have to create 445 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 2: a system in a way for now people of color 446 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 2: to be able to own tax businesses. Because I know 447 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 2: we all talk about buying back the block. That's cool, 448 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: but what about buying back the services that are in 449 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 2: those communities as well, that are making billions of dollars. 450 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 2: You forgot about them. You forgot about the launder mat 451 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 2: you forgot about the tax offices, you forgot about the 452 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 2: beauty supply stores, all of those. You forgot about waste 453 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 2: You've got about waste management. Waste management is one of 454 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 2: the biggest businesses in New York City now, not only 455 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 2: by us, by the way, But that's when I said, 456 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: we got a license this brand out to Jumping Jack 457 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 2: Tax in over six months, through so much consistency, so 458 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 2: much hustle, I literally I probably out of all four 459 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 2: hundred of those Jumping Jack Tax partners. I probably sold 460 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 2: all three hundred and fifty, almost about three hundred of 461 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 2: them all on the phone. 462 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 6: Wow. 463 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: Put in the groundwork. And a lot of people don't 464 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 2: like to understand that. If you ask every single Jumping 465 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 2: Jack tax partner right now, did they speak to prints 466 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 2: that I know on the phone, they going to say yes. 467 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 6: So you provide training and what else to the partners. 468 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 2: So what we provide for the Jumping Jack tax partners 469 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 2: is number one, we enroll them in online tax preparation school, 470 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: which is going to give them one hundred hours of 471 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 2: tax law information. Right now. Here's what's important too. A 472 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 2: lot of people don't understand you don't have to be 473 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 2: an accountant to own a tax business. Something that's information 474 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 2: that we missed over the past fifty years. You don't 475 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 2: got to be an accountant. Why if you walk too 476 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,239 Speaker 2: an H and R block right now, who's sitting down 477 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 2: at the desk preparing your taxes? A twenty five year 478 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 2: old girl that's probably she there part time. So you 479 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 2: don't got to be an accountant to prepare taxes. You 480 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 2: also don't have to you don't got to be a 481 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 2: graduate from college. You actually, to be honest, you don't 482 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 2: even got to go to school. Anybody Joe from across 483 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 2: the street can literally wake up one day and say, Yo, 484 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 2: I want to start a tax business. And there are 485 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 2: no regulations and majority of states that requirement of any 486 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 2: sort of education for you to start a tax business 487 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 2: at the current moment. So but for us with Jumping 488 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 2: Jack Tax, it was more than just tax prep services. 489 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 2: One of the things that I was so passionate about 490 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 2: was We're not just offering tax services.

And the only way to do that 493 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 2: is we got to provide all of our partners with 494 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 2: the education, and then we provide them with the software, 495 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 2: and of course we provide them with all of the 496 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 2: marketing necessary. Because we built an entire hub with Jumping 497 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 2: Jack Tax, an entire customer base, so that now, well, 498 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 2: every time somebody comes on to Jumping Jack Tax, they 499 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 2: already have a set amount of customers that are in 500 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 2: their zip code that are already waiting for them to 501 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 2: open up. 502 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 7: So we integrated technology and created a Jumping Jack Tax 503 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 7: mobile app where now all our partners will never have 504 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 7: to struggle for customers because we built a community on 505 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 7: the Jumping Jack Tax app. When tax season comes around, 506 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 7: we will send that a notification saying we can send 507 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 7: out a tax repair closest to you. And now all 508 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 7: four hundred tax repairers and tax corporations and companies that 509 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 7: are under us now indeed have business. 510 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 4: So were these four hundred locations. Were they already tax 511 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 4: offices that maybe just rebranded or were they. 512 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 2: Just every single every single person that's we've Jumping Jack 513 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 2: tax right now is someone of the community that needed 514 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 2: an opportunity to change their families' lives, and we taught 515 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 2: them a skill for them to be able to create 516 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 2: generational walks. Heal every single one of them. For the 517 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 2: past ten months, I haven't slept. I've been training them 518 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: every Tuesday and Thursday. When it came to marketing, when 519 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 2: it came to grow in the business, I've been making 520 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 2: sure that they were in online tax prep school so 521 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 2: that they can get the knowledge when it came to 522 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 2: tax law. I've literally and the only reason why I 523 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 2: felt this was important was because I didn't want this 524 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 2: is important. You don't want to bring toxic into your business, right, 525 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 2: And I've built this this this powerful community of all 526 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 2: of our partners that are talking to each other on 527 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 2: a daily basis. I didn't want to bring any outside 528 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 2: forces of people who are already tainted in the tax 529 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,959 Speaker 2: industry to bring any sort of fraud or whatever they 530 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 2: were doing over there over here. So for me, we 531 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,479 Speaker 2: built it from the very from the ground up, this 532 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,959 Speaker 2: opportunity and when I educated people on a daily basis 533 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 2: for them to understand that they can start a tax business. 534 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 2: So obviously brought a family business. Are you have you 535 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 2: brought any of your family members into the jumping jack 536 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 2: tax That's that's crazy, bro, absolutely not. But what's funny 537 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 2: is man and I and I just did a video 538 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 2: about this, is that you never put somebody in there. 539 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 2: You never promote somebody into a position that they aren't 540 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 2: ready for. One thing that I'm not going to do, 541 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 2: especially in business, is reach out my hand for somebody 542 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 2: who's going to pull me off the wall, especially when 543 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 2: I have to scale this wall to get over to 544 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 2: my next blessing. Especially when as a man, my first 545 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 2: obligation is my wife. When you get married, and I want, 546 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 2: I want every man to understand this. Don't confuse it. 547 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 2: Your first obligation is your wife, your kids, and then 548 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 2: anybody underneath that from your mom, your grandmama, whomever. So 549 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 2: anybody that's not in alignment with the vision that I 550 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 2: have with me and my wife and my family, or 551 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 2: could potentially cause me to stray away or to distract 552 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 2: me from this vision, then I can't have them aboard. 553 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 2: And I can't beg anybody to be a part of 554 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 2: a business that they know is a blessing. It's funny 555 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 2: that strangers believed in this vision faster than family members did. 556 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 2: And if you know what it is, you know what 557 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 2: it is. I tell you it's because they've seen who 558 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 2: They've seen who I was, so they don't respect who 559 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 2: I am. So for me, you know, I'm not begging 560 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 2: anybody to be a part of something that I know 561 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 2: is a blessing. Do you feel me? I'm not doing 562 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 2: it because and my wife told me that she tells 563 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 2: me this every single day because I be under so 564 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 2: much pressure, is that? 565 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 5: Like? 566 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 2: And I be thinking about so much and I be 567 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 2: feeling for people sometime like damn, like yo, I did 568 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 2: all of this for this person. Why don't they just understand? 569 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 2: You have to said that? Like yo, why it's not 570 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 2: for me to understand when God wants that. See, one 571 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 2: thing I can't do. I can't block somebody's tests for 572 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 2: them to reach their testimony. Can't do it. Everybody got 573 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 2: to go through their own test to reach their testimony. 574 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 2: But whenever they get to that point, God will reveal 575 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 2: that individual to me and then we'll bring them more on, 576 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: you know. But other than that, I got to keep 577 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 2: striving for the vision, for the legacy, and and and 578 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 2: another thing that's important too, is this when you have 579 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 2: such a calling over your life for your community and 580 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 2: for legacy, Like right now, yo, we got we got 581 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 2: millions of people of color right now that are struggling financially, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, 582 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 2: in every way, shape or form. Do you honestly believe 583 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 2: with the calling that God blessed me with with jumping 584 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 2: jack text to be able to create financial freedom that 585 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: I'm about to sit here and argue with somebody that 586 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 2: I grew up with who should respect me, but don't 587 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 2: got time and got it.

That's all for now couch one more question. 665 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 8: Played than New Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco forty nine 666 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 8: ers and Los Angeles Rams scratchers from the California Lottery. 667 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 8: A little play can make your day. Peace made responsibilit 668 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 8: must be eighteen years or older to purchase or claim. 669 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 2: And that's the reason why we get rings. And here's 670 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 2: the thing. I never take success for the four hundred partners. 671 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 2: I just take successful being a part of that team. 672 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 2: And you may see me as the CEO, you may 673 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 2: see me as the face, but let's not confuse the 674 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 2: people that are in the background who helped to get 675 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 2: it to this point. And I think a lot of 676 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 2: entrepreneurs they want to be self made so bad. They 677 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 2: want to be self made so bad, and then then 678 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,719 Speaker 2: they're gonna turn out and realize that being so lonely 679 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 2: in your business it sucks. There's no like, there's no 680 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 2: way that you can brainstorm everything in your business by yourself. 681 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 2: It's just impossible. You gotta bounce ideas off of people. 682 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 2: You need to have somebody that while I'm working the business, 683 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: it's somebody on the outside who's looking at the mistakes 684 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 2: that I possibly might make, and they say, yo, fix 685 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 2: that right there. I need somebody that's going to be 686 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 2: my eyeballs. I need somebody's gonna be my my the 687 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 2: person that speaks lifing to me and my wife. You 688 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 2: need people like that to help expand upon a million 689 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 2: dollar vision. But when I hear that self made stuff, man, 690 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 2: I'd be like, all r yo, you you you frawding, 691 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 2: you know, And I won't. I won't never fraud. I 692 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 2: talk about the people that got me to where I am, 693 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 2: and I'm thankful for it, you know. And I don't 694 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 2: care what I do where I go. I'm always going 695 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 2: to surround myself with a great team because I know 696 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 2: that that's the qualities of a championship. And as long 697 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 2: as I got the ring, I'm winning regardless. 698 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 5: So so I'm average drone the street, right and I 699 00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 5: want to have a jump in jacksacks? 700 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 6: What what is the fee for licensing? 701 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 2: So the fee for our fee for licensing right now 702 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 2: is five grand right now? No five grand, five grand 703 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 2: one time fee, and then we have an annual licensing 704 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 2: fee of one thousand per year, right but that is 705 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 2: going to of course increase. We wanted to expand, of course, 706 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 2: and we wanted to provide an opportunity for Uh, we 707 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 2: really wanted to provide an opportunity for the people of 708 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 2: our community to be able to afford this. And I'll 709 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 2: be honest, when you look at the HNR Blocks and 710 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 2: Liberty Tax and all these other companies they're about there, 711 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 2: we're talking about fifty eighty thousand dollars to start a 712 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 2: franchise with them. So and it's funny how businesses do this. 713 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 2: And it's sort of like, how like this whole this 714 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 2: whole red lining they redlined that business in the sense of, like, 715 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 2: you can't afford to get in here. So I'm not 716 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 2: going to tell you no, but I'm gonna just make 717 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 2: it eighty two one hundred thousand dollars to where you 718 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 2: got to say no to yourself and I and I didn't. 719 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 2: I didn't want to. I didn't want to do that. 720 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 2: So I wanted to provide a re in the more 721 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 2: ability for those of our community to be able to 722 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 2: get into this tax business and to be trained to 723 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 2: be able to create create legacy, because that's what this 724 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 2: is what was originally about. So five grand and then 725 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 2: plus one thousand dollars annual licensing fee. But when you 726 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 2: think about this right now. I just break down the 727 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 2: numbers to you because people say, well five grand and 728 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 2: start a tax business. Well, first and foremost, there are 729 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 2: two things that you have to do in this world. 730 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 2: You're gonna die, and you gotta pay taxes. There's no 731 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 2: negotiation with that. You pay taxes than there's no it's 732 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 2: no negotiation with that. 733 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 6: I mean, so I know people's tax returns of more, there's. 734 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,320 Speaker 2: No negotiation with that. Now, the average person, the average 735 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 2: person on the regular pays anywhere between I would say 736 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 2: two two to four hundred dollars average right now to 737 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 2: get their taxes done. Let's just cut it. Let's just 738 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 2: cut it to the middle at three. If the average 739 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 2: person is paying three hundred dollars to get their taxes done. 740 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 2: Like I said to you before, I don't even have 741 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 2: to go on social media to promote my tax business. 742 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 2: We just we just built a jumpin Jack Tax Community 743 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 2: Center right inside of Philadelphia and we're opening it up 744 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 2: coming this upcoming tax season. Do you know that if 745 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,879 Speaker 2: I just do a certain amount of promotion just in 746 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 2: that zip code, just in that zip code with thousands 747 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,959 Speaker 2: or thousands of people there, if I just get three 748 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 2: hundred people, that come and pay a service of three 749 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 2: hundred dollars for their tax preparation on the average could 750 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 2: be cheaper or hied. Who knows it all depends that 751 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 2: right there is ninety thousand dollars. That's ninety currently, that's 752 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 2: ninety grand. And by the way, that ninety thousand goes 753 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 2: directly to your bank account, and all of that comes 754 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 2: between January through April, because that's normally around the time 755 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 2: period that somebody needs their taxes done. So for me, 756 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 2: I even tell people that are business owners that have 757 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 2: other businesses, Listen, figure out how to carve out four 758 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 2: months out of your year to start a tax business. 759 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 2: Because if you could generate anywhere from thirty to ninety 760 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 2: or one hundred thousand dollars during that four months, what 761 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 2: could that do for the other businesses that you already have. 762 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 2: That's good because it's a serve is that everybody needs. 763 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 2: And I'm not telling I'm not telling people right now 764 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 2: to find a new way to spend money. I'm just 765 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 2: trying to convince people to redirect where they are already spending 766 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 2: their money at. And it's something that that's already being done. 767 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 2: It's not coming over to our pockets. So I'm just 768 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,240 Speaker 2: promoting the people. Hey, let's just take back the services 769 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,919 Speaker 2: of our community. It only makes sense. 770 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 7: Plus, something that he missed to that I think it's 771 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 7: important is I think where I was so flabbery acid, 772 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 7: and obviously I didn't know about it. He taught me 773 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 7: is how your tax preparation fee is coming straight from 774 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 7: the I R S. So this, honestly was the first 775 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 7: business I could legit think off the top of my 776 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 7: head that I was like, hold on, so you mean 777 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 7: I don't even have to give you money or open 778 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 7: my debit I don't have to open my wallet or 779 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 7: give you my debit card number. 780 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 3: To pay you. 781 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 7: No, it automatically comes from the IRS. So you're getting 782 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 7: paid regardless without the person actually having the funds to 783 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 7: pay you, because it's coming out of their tax attorney exactly. 784 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 2: So I was like, whoa, that's insane. 785 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,839 Speaker 7: I've never been in a business where I was gonna 786 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 7: get my money regardless. 787 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 2: Correct, insane, that's insane. 788 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:13,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, you guys like me, Yeah some of us don't. 789 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, not the same. I got you, I got you. 790 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 3: Guys. 791 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 6: He's thinking of me buying as many properties as possible. 792 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 2: Please, this is I think, I think what's important too, 793 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 2: and I want to touch on something because a lot 794 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 2: of people they hit me up and say, don you know, like, 795 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,439 Speaker 2: why can't I just do my taxes on my own? 796 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,240 Speaker 2: Right and hit me with that question all the time, 797 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 2: And I gotta ed, I gotta educate people in this. 798 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 2: Number one, let's just make this plain and clear. The 799 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 2: I R S don't work for you. I think this 800 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,720 Speaker 2: is a huge misconception that, oh, I do my taxes 801 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 2: on my own. But but there's a difference between doing 802 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:03,959 Speaker 2: your taxes on your own and actually having a tax 803 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 2: expert that's walking you through this process because the IRS 804 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 2: does not work for you, and it's very important to 805 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 2: understand as well. And I find this, I find this 806 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 2: pretty funny, an interesting system that they put together of 807 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 2: how as long as you pay more, they don't got 808 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 2: a problem with you. You pay less, they got a 809 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 2: problem with you. But if you pay more, they won't 810 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 2: tell you that you pay more. You gotta find out 811 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 2: that you pay more. So for me, it's like it's 812 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 2: really a double ledged sword that you got here, and 813 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 2: the only way to find out if you pay more 814 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 2: is that you had to go to an actual professional 815 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 2: who could look over your information and say, hey, here's 816 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 2: where we could have fixed this. So it's important for 817 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 2: people to understand the irs don't work for you. By 818 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 2: thinking that you're smart by trying to do the tax 819 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 2: doing your taxes on your own, you're actually you're actually 820 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 2: doing a disservice to yourself. And the last thing I 821 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 2: like to tell people is this, if I walk this 822 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 2: side of a courtroom right now, it walks out of 823 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 2: a courtroom, what is better to come with? And I'm 824 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 2: this is this is not to this is not to 825 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 2: put down quarter point of attorneys at all, but just 826 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 2: to make a point what makes more sense me actually 827 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 2: bringing my own lawyer into the into the courtroom to 828 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 2: represent me, or to have a quarter pointed attorney that 829 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 2: came directly from the court who's loaded with with with 830 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 2: with with with cases all the way up to their 831 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 2: eyeballs and they just found out about your case probably 832 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 2: the same day, so you was already up ship's creek. 833 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 2: So for me, it's all about making sure that people 834 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,399 Speaker 2: have the right representation and most importantly, by you having 835 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 2: somebody that's a professional, they're gonna be able to educate you, 836 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 2: not just between the months of January through April, but 837 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 2: actually educating you throughout the entire year. And that's something 838 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 2: that people in our community actually need, and that's how 839 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 2: we're gonna be able to improve the financial health of 840 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 2: our people, not just from a tax standpoint, but from 841 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 2: a credit standpoint, but from are you actually ensured the 842 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 2: right way, like the entire financial scope. And unfortunately a 843 00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,959 Speaker 2: lot of people in our communities can't afford to, let's say, 844 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 2: pay a financial advisor, or sometimes when I was working 845 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 2: at the bank, you had to have a certain net 846 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 2: worth in order to even to engage with the financial advisor. 847 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 2: So we at Jumping Jack Tax provided an alternative now 848 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 2: for the folks of our communities to still have access 849 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 2: to a financial services representative without being outpriced because they 850 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 2: don't have the network to talk to someone. 851 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 4: And I could ask for that because I'm a financial 852 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 4: advisor and I used to do my taxes myself. 853 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 2: And exactly, it's serious. 854 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 4: Don't play around with it. You can make mistakes. Yes, 855 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 4: you can think you know what you're doing. You can 856 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 4: still make mistakes that you can, and you don't want 857 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 4: to get ordered it. 858 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 2: So and then when you get audio, you run to 859 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 2: a tax professional anyway, So it doesn't make sense to me. 860 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 2: You might as well do it the right way in 861 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 2: the beginning. 862 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 7: So so can we talk about text message marketing. 863 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 4: I've heard you've talked about that before. Oh man, what's 864 00:40:59,120 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 4: the what's the deal with? 865 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 2: So it's funny because I pretty much built the entire 866 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 2: jumper Jack tax business off text message marketing, but for 867 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 2: the new entrepreneur, it's very expensive. And I want to 868 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 2: tie into this is that as an entrepreneur, if you 869 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 2: don't have the ability to communicate with your customer like this, 870 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 2: you are going to fail your business. And I think 871 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 2: it's important just to piggyback off of what Dana said. 872 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 2: We're fighting against large companies right now who have billboards, 873 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,280 Speaker 2: they got radio, they got commercials, everything to drown you out. 874 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 2: And you're just thinking about posting on social media for 875 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 2: Sally to be able to see the post, and she 876 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 2: ain't going to see it because they're limiting your algorithm. 877 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 2: So for me, I had to start finding strategics, ways, 878 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 2: strategic ways to be able to connect with all of 879 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 2: our potential Jumping Jack tax partners. So here's what ended 880 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 2: up happening. So when I built the Jumping Jack tax website. 881 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 2: We had a basically people had to apply. Now, when 882 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 2: they applied, of course, I'm already thinking ahead of time 883 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 2: time of how am I going to communicate with these 884 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 2: people if they decided they don't want to start with 885 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 2: jumping jack texts. So when they applied, it's important that 886 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 2: you grab data. So they filled out their name and 887 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:10,919 Speaker 2: one of the biggest pieces that I made them fill 888 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 2: out was their phone number. Now, when they filled out 889 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,399 Speaker 2: their phone number. Every single day I was exporting all 890 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 2: of these forms, it was about like five hundred or 891 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 2: more applications a day coming in. So I'm getting all 892 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,720 Speaker 2: these phone numbers in. Now I go to an actual 893 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 2: text messaging service and I upload I want to say, 894 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 2: about fifteen twenty thousand phone numbers into the system. And 895 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 2: I remember when I was about to send out my 896 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 2: first text message, they brought up the price to send 897 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,800 Speaker 2: out the text and it was like fifteen hundred bucks. Wow, 898 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 2: to send out one for one message. Fifteen hundred dollars. 899 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 6: I was determined by the amount that. 900 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,279 Speaker 2: It is determined by the amount of phone numbers that 901 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 2: is going to deliver to. But it's going to get 902 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,959 Speaker 2: directly to their phones, and that's why I tell people 903 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 2: that communication is super expensive, and that's the reason why 904 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 2: moving and kind of like positioning over over to now 905 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 2: I'm pushing the app so hard with Jumping Jack Tax 906 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 2: app is because now that I have an app and 907 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 2: I get people to download this app, I don't have 908 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 2: an overhead cost to send out notifications to everybody's phones, 909 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 2: as opposed to text message marketing, where if you don't 910 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 2: got the money as a new entrepreneur, that you can't 911 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 2: you can't even afford fifteen hundred bucks. I had the 912 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 2: ability to do it, but it was and the reason 913 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 2: why was because by me sending out a text message 914 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 2: for fifteen hundred, if I just get one person to 915 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 2: close a deal with that same night, I made five 916 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 2: thousand back and my expense was fifteen hundred, so I 917 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,760 Speaker 2: may thirty five in profit. So you spent that fifteen 918 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,360 Speaker 2: text mess oh for sure. No cheaper way to do it, 919 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:42,480 Speaker 2: No cheaper way to do it? 920 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 3: What service? How do you do that? 921 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 2: It's like text messaging services. You could just google it, 922 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,239 Speaker 2: but all of them have the same price. They're gonna 923 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 2: charge you. They're gonna charge you on to say about 924 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 2: three cent, maybe three to three to four cent a text. 925 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 2: It's very expensive. And that's why it's so important man, 926 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 2: that you have your own platform, you get your own 927 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 2: mobile application or some sort of technology, because now you 928 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,879 Speaker 2: can if you if you, if you cannot affordably communicate, 929 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 2: you're going to cause a huge, a huge a riff 930 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 2: in your business. 931 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 7: So at that point in time, the app wasn't yet 932 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 7: uploaded to Google Play and Apple, so we had He 933 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 7: also still wanted to be able to continue to move, 934 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 7: so in that meantime he went ahead and used the 935 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 7: text message marketing. But as soon as we went ahead 936 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 7: and the app was published and it was live, he 937 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 7: started repurposing all the users and now speaking to them 938 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 7: through the app. And so that same exact thing that 939 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 7: used to cost fifteen hundred now was free with his 940 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 7: own mobip place. 941 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,879 Speaker 2: No limitation to the amount the app exactly, you could 942 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 2: literally send out if you got a million in your app, 943 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,399 Speaker 2: one hundred percent and it's going to hit all their phones. 944 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,760 Speaker 2: Jumping Jack Tax app and we call ourselves the Uber 945 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,799 Speaker 2: of tax preparation services.

Do you know that 1003 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 2: when you have a tax business that you can make 1004 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,879 Speaker 2: a hundred you can get one hundred thousand dollars loan 1005 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,239 Speaker 2: from the bank with no credit, no W two's or 1006 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 2: no income shown whatsoever. One hundred thousand cash loan. Break 1007 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,480 Speaker 2: it down, basically, when you run when you own a 1008 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 2: tax business, there's a certain thing called bank products. Right, 1009 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 2: there's a third party bank that's in between the I 1010 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 2: R S. When you actually go to submit your return 1011 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,880 Speaker 2: to the I R S. Right, every time that you 1012 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,480 Speaker 2: submit that return through the bank, the bank is basically 1013 00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 2: going to give you a credit. They're gonna give you 1014 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 2: one credit. So let's say, for example, I do five 1015 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,840 Speaker 2: hundred returns in the tax business. I got five hundred 1016 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 2: credits with the bank. And let's say the average tax 1017 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,760 Speaker 2: prep fee is three hundred dollars. The bank now knows 1018 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 2: that I just made one hundred and fifty grand from 1019 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 2: January through April during the tax season. Right now, of 1020 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:19,920 Speaker 2: course I'm gonna get my full one hundred and fifty grand. 1021 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,360 Speaker 2: A bank is gonna send it over to me. The 1022 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 2: customers are gonna get their money. Here's what happens now. 1023 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,560 Speaker 2: Those bank products are super important because that's how the 1024 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 2: bank also makes money as well. The bank makes about 1025 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,239 Speaker 2: thirty four ninety five every time that you submit that 1026 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 2: return through the bank. Right now, what ends up happening 1027 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 2: is after the tax season is over. What I can 1028 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 2: now do is because it's all based off of performance. 1029 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 2: Imagine if you could get a loan off a performance 1030 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,279 Speaker 2: and not your credit. I can go after tax season over, 1031 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 2: go to the bank now and say, hey, bank, look 1032 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 2: what I did this past season, and then they're gonna look, 1033 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 2: They're gonna run your ef IN number. Now. An EFIN 1034 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,880 Speaker 2: number is an electronic filing identification number in the tax industry, 1035 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 2: a EFIN number is this is just the same as 1036 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 2: a Social Security number, like how the bank runs your 1037 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 2: social and they can see your credit score and ethan 1038 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,840 Speaker 2: number runs your performance. After the season is over, I 1039 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 2: go to the bank, the bank is gonna ask me 1040 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,840 Speaker 2: for my efing, and they're gonna they're gonna type it 1041 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,799 Speaker 2: in six two, six, three, nine to five. They're gonna 1042 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,880 Speaker 2: pull it up. They're gonna see what my performance was 1043 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 2: for that year. They're gonna look at how much money 1044 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,880 Speaker 2: I made in tax prep fees. And then they're gonna 1045 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,759 Speaker 2: see what they're gonna They're gonna look at what's called 1046 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,720 Speaker 2: a funding rate. Now, funding rate basically means how many 1047 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,320 Speaker 2: returns got funded by the IRS because a lot of 1048 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 2: people's stuff get offset because the child support a bunch 1049 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 2: of different things. Now, as long as my funding rate 1050 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 2: is at ninety five percent, meaning out of those five 1051 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,439 Speaker 2: hundred returns, I don't know what ninetyf I would four 1052 00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,800 Speaker 2: hundred and and eighty of those people actually got approved 1053 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:49,359 Speaker 2: and the IRS sent their money. The bank is now 1054 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 2: going to write me a check for one hundred thousand 1055 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 2: dollars on the loan, No credit necessary, no w two, 1056 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:57,840 Speaker 2: just based on my off of my performance to what 1057 00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,719 Speaker 2: I did last year. And now I could take that 1058 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,680 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand and I could do whatever I want 1059 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 2: with that money. Of course, I'm supposed to use it 1060 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 2: to expand my tax business, but they don't care what 1061 00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,279 Speaker 2: I use the money for. And the way that I 1062 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,480 Speaker 2: pay back the one hundred thousand is the following tax season. 1063 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 2: They're going to take the one hundred thousand from the 1064 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,879 Speaker 2: profits that I make that next season. So now I 1065 00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,080 Speaker 2: was able to get one hundred thousand free and clear, 1066 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,240 Speaker 2: and the interest rate on that is like three percent, 1067 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:28,200 Speaker 2: which is unheard of. And I have no collateral, no home, 1068 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 2: no nothing, and they gave me one hundred thousand. I 1069 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,719 Speaker 2: could take it, do what I want, and I only 1070 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 2: got to pay them back the following season, just based 1071 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 2: off of my performance to what I made last year. 1072 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 2: And a lot of people don't understand that. And if 1073 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,359 Speaker 2: you're struggling with funding right now, trying to get cash, well, 1074 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 2: how about do you believe in yourself enough. If you 1075 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 2: believe in yourself enough you need to get the cash. 1076 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 2: Then what you do is go into the tax industry, 1077 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,479 Speaker 2: show your performance, go get the business, get you build 1078 00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 2: up your clientele, and prove to the bank that you're 1079 00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 2: worth it. And the bank is going to write you 1080 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:08,879 Speaker 2: that check of meeting right after the season is over. 1081 00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,239 Speaker 7: Yeah, but the bank, regular banks are taking a whole 1082 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,200 Speaker 7: bunch of other stuff in consideration that doesn't necessarily say 1083 00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 7: you're responsible. 1084 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:17,360 Speaker 2: That sucks. 1085 00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:19,320 Speaker 7: We can't go to the bank and get loans. 1086 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,440 Speaker 5: The second they see our skin color, they're like, you 1087 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:21,879 Speaker 5: want what? 1088 00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 2: Oh, they won't tell you that.
