It was such an honor to be able to work with you to bring Mommy Sabbatical to life! It was also a lot of fun!
I can't wait to see you go deeper and further into this adventure--sharing, serving and loving mommy so much!

Kinda Pregnant
Just so no one has a heart-attack...no, I'm not actually pregnant. But in a way - I'm kinda pregnant. After growing seven babies in my belly, you'd think I'd be plenty weary of pregnancy. I'm no spring chicken either; at 43-ish my body is past the birthing years & cresting the mid-life-crisi...
Kevin - I'm honored to have you and so many others in FAA at my side through my free agent journey! What an amazing interview we had with Kenny Wallace...a true free agent!
I'm going to be listening to this one several times to extract all the goodness Kenny shared. I've followed him for years but he shared a new level of his passion today.
Why NASCAR star Kenny Wallace believes in free agency
We brought NASCAR star Kenny Wallace onto our live show today in order to interview him on his life as a free agent. Self-employed. We got WAY more than we bargained for, and it's all good. More than good, it was GOLD. Over 100 people tuned in live, and this will motivate the many of thousands...
Thank you for writing this! My father retired in that building in 1993 and US Strategic Command was my last duty assignment. Though it was almost 10 years ago, your words ring true.
You've captured both the military members' dedication to mission and the heart behind it. It's what I miss most now that I'm no longer in uniform.

The Side of the Military Most Don't Get To See
“Carry on, carry on,” he would say to all the soldiers who stood at attention as we walked passed. “Carry on, carry on.” At 6’4”, he’s an imposing figure. A major general in the U.S. Army, he’s one of the ranking officers in charge of the U.S. Strategic Command -- one of the 10 Unified Commands ...
Teri - You have never been so close to perfect as when I've visited and even stayed at your home. I'm always amazed at what you do and how you can do it with all the kids and people and craziness that are our events.
But in all your stress next time, remember...we are FAAmily! And even though we can stress over visitors (family or FAAmily), know that most won't notice the imperfections or even care...they just want to enjoy the precious time we have together.
Hated missing this one, but hope to make the next one. Maybe even bring my excuse for missing with me! I know she'd have a blast!
Love you guys!

Hospitality For Dummies (and that would be me)
To-do lists. People coming. Schedules to keep; committments to honor. Running kids here & there, school lessons to complete, errands to squeeze in. Shopping list of 'gotta-haves' on a too-tight budget, in a too-tight time-constraint, with all 7 kids in tow. Gotta clean the house. No, really - r...
Dan Miller just called me a cow! At least I'm a free range cow! :)
A true free agent legacy, Ray Miller 1913-2010
I just returned from my Grandpa's funeral, Ray F Miller. He was 97 years old and finally breathed his last breath. They say the 'F' in his middle initial didn't really stand for anything, so everyone joked that it was for 'farmer,' which he was. I've always viewed farming as the ultimate roots...
Wow! I feel sorry for anyone who isn't inspired by this!
I needed this right now...and will be off to see my grandparents soon.
Thanks for sharing this with the world. I'm sure your grandfather had no idea the legacy he left and how it continues to grow.
Blessed by you constantly!

Preach it, brother! So blessed to be a member and a leader in FAA!
Now who's up for the challenge? Who's going to live a different life starting NOW?

How Free Agent Academy works
I'm starting off by making a case, but if you really just want some nuts and bolts of how this 'school for self-employment' works, skip down to that heading. You can also scroll to the very bottom to hear the full show we did on this topic. WHAT If you are reading this, then you have a desire t...
Are you a wizard? You post this the same day it arrives in my mailbox?!?!?! How did you get the USPS to do that?
As for my goals, well, I completely struck out. Zero for three. But it does help me see a pattern that's holding back my progress.
Nonetheless, I've moved forward in other areas, including some very significant ones.
Thanks for this exercise, Jonathan! Very insightful and interesting!
I wrote myself a letter
I opened a letter to myself today. In late May at the Free Agent Academy Intensive event in Woodland Park, Colorado I gave an assignment to each of the attendees. On an index card I had them write down the top three goals they wanted to accomplish in 3 months, then seal it in a self-address...
Wouldn't it be interesting if we had to choose to go out on our own and be self-sufficient, owing nothing to the government or those who choose the opposite, to be wards of the state? We could each have the "utopia" of our choosing.
Fast forward and one will collapse and one will teach the survivors a new way, and the vision of our forefathers would be strengthened in the same way a broken bone heals stronger than it was before.
Our society can't be separated so absolutely. Yet in the end, the change will come. Choose a new way today, or have it thrust upon you in the collapse of a company, a market, a society, or a nation.
Amen brother! Big freaking amen!

News Alert: We're getting high on our own supply
Folks - this is the top headline at USA Today this Wednesday, Aug. 11, 2010: Obama administration provides $3B in aid for unemployed homeowners - http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/housing/2010-08-11-obama--housing-aid_N.htm Can we agree that: Nobody is entitled to own a house 99% of h...
Shawn,
You're only a year older than me and your story really hits home. I cannot imagine the emotions running through you and your family during this time. I'm sure each and every moment is precious right now...but really aren't they all? We only need perspective to see it.
Praying for a masterful surgery and recovery for you!

Shawn's Chapter
It has been a gut-wrenching week for our family. My cousin, just 37 years of age, had his third heart attack in three months. His life is hanging in the balance as we anticipate open heart surgery this week. His condition is serious, and we do not know the outcome. Selfishly, perhaps, we...
Purpose is a big word, Kevin. It gets thrown around a lot, but you've re-positioned it well. Quite a challenge to anyone you've inspired here! I hope they take you up on it and start their journey.

PS - Nekoda came from a cereal box? Is that how you ended up with seven kids? I may never eat cereal again! :)
The only way to achieve 'purpose' in your life…
That is not just a headline and this isn't just a blog post. I'm laying out the crux of my mission here. It's what I was made to do and what I most care about. After some prayer and devotions this morning I went straight inside my house (I was sitting outside) and presented it to my wife and m...
Knowing and working with Susanne on her biz, I can tell you she is making amazing progress because she lives it and shares it.
Quite simply...if you know Susanne, you know her passions.

'Concrete action steps' - from a member
RE: action steps to discover your calling. I'm just being the messenger on this one...this is a direct cut and paste from a communication today between two members at FreeAgentAcademy. Now, a bunch of folks responded, but one reply was so chock full of wisdom that I wanted to share it publicly. ...
