About JLM

For those I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with, you know I love my kids, JLM, more than anything in the world.  This web site is dedicated to them.

For those who may not know me yet, something you should know is that I have had a curiosity about money for as long as I can possibly remember. For the longest time I have asked myself: what is the origin of our money, how is money created, what determines its value, and how I can safely create wealth for myself, my family, and those I meet?

I am always striving for better answers to this puzzle because I believe money should not be a mystery. Unfortunately, for 99% of population money is not only a mystery, it’s not even an interest of study. This last thought blows me away. Why trade valuable time for money (AKA labor) if you are unwilling to invest the time and energy into learning how to safeguard your earnings from risk of loss and taxes? My guess is that people love what they do so much that they desire to do it forever… or perhaps the answer is that they have simply never thought as deeply about money in the same manner as I have. Regardless of which camp you fall into, I want you to know you have an opportunity presented by history to change your lot in life, but only if you take action. (I’ll leave out the learning of history part because I understand some people aren’t interested in history and simply want answers without context. If that happens to be you, here’s the only shortcut I’ll ever offer. Proceed to Step 2 below.)

Here’s what I want you to do next:

1. Watch the video at this link: www.CashValueBanking.com.
2. Go to the Contact Us page to schedule a telephone, online, or in person appointment.
3. Watch the Elevation Group video for a quick education on what’s really going in the world. Go to www.ProtectMyLifeNow.com.

Best of luck in all your financial endeavors.

What People Are Saying About JLM Wealth Strategies:

“I do find it very intriguing your approach to improving others’ lives with financial education and options for relief. We are so ingrained with the current financial system to follow along, not think for yourself or not break from the mold – not to mention the large gap in the education system that does not include financial or health education. It is easier to be a lemming, just not necessarily the best bet. Its refreshing to find someone talking about alternatives over doom and gloom – and the media hype which can be an exhausting roller coaster ride.”
