Take the basic idea that it’s possible to create a business that enables you to do the types of things you want to do. Add to it great videos and content that shows you how, exactly, to do it. Then take said content and stir in the awesome coaching of my friends Clay Collins, Jonathan Mead, and Dave Navarro. What do you get from all of this?
I’ve been watching a lot of the videos and paying close attention to what they’ve been doing, and though I could give a really long review of it, I’ll keep this short(er).
I have a two-part test to determine whether or not I should recommend products and services to you: 1) is it valuable?, and 2) is it worth the cost. If it’s not valuable content, then it’s not worth your time or money; if it’s over-priced, then I don’t want to recommend it. On the first tack, I’ve run into a serious problem here lately, because a lot of the great stuff I read isn’t great for me because I’ve been doing a lot of research and practice with it for a while, so I have to think about whether it would be good for someone who hasn’t done all that. Every once in a while, I’ll run into a gem that makes me sit up, pay attention, and take notes; in those cases, I know it’s valuable. I’ve got a few pages of notes from stuff from Project Mojave – and I haven’t gotten through the Keyword Research video yet.
I’ve also learned to think about whether I’d tell Angela (my wife) to read it/watch it and use that as a gauge; if it’s not worth telling her about it, it’s not worth telling you about it. (I don’t waste her time on less than excellent products simply because if I do so, I’ll have less opportunities to waste her time on other things.) I’ve asked her to watch several videos and have been talking to her about it for the last couple of weeks.
So Project Mojave has passed the first part of the test with flying colors. Is it worth the cost? This one’s a bit harder for me, since the subscription is $97 per month. That seems pretty steep, yet you get the handholding of six different coaches (I said three above, but that’s because I have personal connections with those three and I know and trust them), and the content delivers to the degree that, if you actually follow the process, you will make it up, and then some, within the month. If you want some light material that gives business ideas that you can consider using, do not join Project Mojave. If you’re ready to build a freedom business in about 3 months, then join Project Mojave. And then there’s there whole 100% Satisfaction Guarantee that lets you determine whether it’s worth it.
So, it’s valuable content, and it’s worth the cost. Easy enough.
The bad part: Project Mojave closes tonight at midnight (CT). If you’re serious about getting a freedom business started and making a profit, get a move on it.
If you’d like more information about Project Mojave, check out:
- The Liberation Manifesto written by Jonathan Mead. This manifesto is free.
- The Freedom Business Blueprint – This video by Clay is free.
- The Project Mojave Blog – which contains a lot of the personal story behind Project Mojave
- Project Mojave Sales Page - I don’t think this is as strong as the first three resources, truth be told.

For what it’s worth, in the Rebirth of Entrepreneurialism, I’ve been writing about the changes that have made “freedom businesses” not only a viable economic option, but one that suits creative entrepreneurs especially well. It so happens that Clay has been working on the “how-to” piece of the puzzle somewhat independently from me developing the other parts. I say somewhat because we’ve been dancing around each other – and having fun doing it – for a year now, and at a certain point, it’s easy to lose track of whose ideas are whose.
Anyway, go check it out, but don’t delay!

Thanks for linking all of the information. I could not agree with you more on the idea of setting up a business to capture your own personal freedom. It’s sad when you talk to as many people as I do on a regular basis, and many of them simply don’t realize that their personal freedom is directly tied to their economic freedom. All people really have to do is look at their Facebook news feed on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday to realize how closely tied people’s lives are to their job.
The internet has leveled the playing field so much that anyone can go out there, develop their entrepreneurial genius and find a vehicle that works for them and replace their full time job income in due time. If you put together a business that you can walk away from and still be profitable, then your entire week becomes 6 Saturdays followed by a Sunday.
