JT Foxx SCAM or NOT? Be your own judge, not a puppet.

People ask me who the heck is JT Foxx, and why am I travelling around the world attending his functions, as they see on my posts on FB.

I might have asked the same question myself, or I did when I first met him. Here he was standing on top of our seminar table, at a function in Singapore, 6 thousand people in attendance, sprouting about how good he was, and where he came from and where he is at now, and why we weren’t there also..

JUNE 2015, As I sat there looking up at this guy (at a Tony Robbins function I was at) jumping up and down, my neck stretched up, thinking – who is this guy?

But as I listened to him, and having been to many different seminars and workshops, have heard the language many times, so nothing could offend me, being home truths etc., I realized that this guy’s starting story was very much like mine, only he was more successful than me, and more smarter.

I was obviously more older then him, but if he could be doing what he is doing, imagine what I could do with what time I had left. I was still a baby entrepreneuress, 2 years into learning what it means being an entrepreneuress, about the brain and the creative ideas etc, and NOT being scared to have a go at anything.

Wonder if he was like I was, to begin with, then somehow harnessed and channeled it all into what he had now – and all of this just through coaching and learning off coaches. hmmmmmm food for thought.

SO THEY SAID HE WAS A SCAMMER!!

Anyway, I posted on Facebook about him, and immediately 2 friends came back at me saying – avoid this man like the plague. Why I asked?, to which they replied, bad reviews, scammer etc. The usual stuff you can get from people if they don’t believe in something you do.  Know that they had never purchased a program off him or through him, they were only going by others words alone.

Being a person that likes to learn by experience, I did some more research and found the usual shit online that people write, mostly like most things, you always get people pissed off at successful people if it doesn’t gel, but there are many reasons why it wouldn’t gel. I had learnt by then, that no matter who you are, the more successful you are, that you will find those that want to bad mouth you, and bring you down. Their reasons may seem just to them, but too many good points outweigh, and I firmly believe we bring into our lives, what we give out and how our mindsets are. The term HATERS, goes to those who waste their time on trying to bring you down.  This world I have found is full of cuckoos, and people affected by drugs, or bipolar amongst other things, and an avalanche of hate can spew forth.  I just want to focus on survival, successfulness and living a great life.  Kama will come to those who deserve it.

So, in saying all that, as his presentation went on, I was interested. So interested, that I thought, no way am I getting jammed at the counter like a packrat when everyone ran for his special, so before he even finished his promo price etc., I was over there saying, give me a form thanks, how much is it by the way?

Then satisfied,  just as he was giving the price I walked back to my seat with my white IPod recordings in my hand and my paper of having signed up for something, that would further bring me in contact with this man and how to further myself as something more than what I currently was.  I really felt he would be different to others who promise, and sure enough he was.  His company actually did what they said they would do.

Mind you, I had purchased supposedly what was supposed to be a meal with JT Foxx, but turned into 5 minutes of chatting and me not even knowing what to chat about hahaha. I believe he had so many take up that offer that it just wasn’t viable, so had to forgo that for the 5 minutes. That pissed a lot of people of, but as you get to know JT Foxx you live and learn, you go with the flow. He will make it up to you somehow in many other ways, unexpected ways.

#FAMILYFIRST

Anyway, I believe I was coming in on the end of change in JT Foxx’s businesses. Building on the added value of #FAMILYFIRST, and JT’s belief in sell something, then create it, the whole concept of what he started grew to such an extent I believed it changed JT’s life in some ways. (This is my own personal perspective by the way, nobody else’s, but then I got to spend a lot of time around him, and could see this as well.) Like me to a certain degree, I felt like I belonged to something special. With JT’s journey to where he is now, he found something special in starting a creation, that became so much more than I probably think he even expected, and that also meant a lot to him. LOYALTY being a big one – is for me also. People felt drawn to his #FAMILYFIRST, and wearing the rubber armlets with his programs and FAMILY FIRST on them, gave a sense of cultural belonging to something special worldwide.  To like minded others with same mindset.

LOVE OR HATE HIM

A lot of people thought JT was very arrogant or egotistical, and maybe he was to a certain degree, but then with success comes that right to be, but looking out from a different perspective. When you grow in life and learn in life, things that used to hold you back or give you no growth in life starts to fall away. When you come across people who still have this in their lives, but they don’t seem to do anything to let it drop away and don’t grow, it gets very frustrating, especially when you give them opportunities to get growth, but instead they see you as someone who brags, or is a smarty pants, or whatever it is that they think that becomes an excuse to sit in their same skin, and judge others who choose the harder path of creating success.

I personally signed up for nearly every program that JT had, my pure right-hand brain, needed to find out how JT Foxx created this world of his, if I was a lot like him, then where was my left-brain smartness. If I got coached and stayed in his arena, maybe my left brain would grow lots and lots, and I could become a late comer but like JT, many businesses, travelling all over, teaching people and so on.

Little did I realise my right brain would hold me back so much from being successful, yes to a point i was creative and was able to produce a lot, then it went all stale for me as had nothing else to bring in and be more creative and successful.. It has a tendency to wander a lot between things, yes very creative, but trying to do 10 things at once. Ideas can become businesses and all it takes is energy and ideas. Obviously, it also takes having people around you with the same mindset. AND a great team – like JT Foxx has amazing people!

HE TELLS IT STRAIGHT- LIKE IT & GROW OR BE OFFENDED & DONT GROW

Anyway, one thing you learn with JT, ask him something and he will hit you right on with the truth, no holes barred. Too bad if your sensitive, get over it guys, you asked, you went, you want – take it like a man. I was trying to work out what I needed to take me to the next level, what could I get off JT that would make me think like others and get onto the right track. (OMG this is from a ADHD or ADD person, or whatever they like to call a person like me, on the go a hundred miles an hour – hyper active all my life). Surely, I could be the same, even if I was a late starter being 58 at the time.

So, I was at a TOP 1% function in Thailand, my second one, and I heard him give some gold nuggets to another person, and I thought WOW, that to me sounds like something I need, so when it came to my turn to ask a question, of course, not knowing what I needed, meant a not knowing what sort of question to ask. So, I said whoa hang on I need something like the nuggets you gave to that other person.

He said, ‘SERENA – all you need to do is JUST FOCUS on one thing’. Whaaat, I have 3 businesses, one thing. Hmmmm So he went on to the next person, whilst I sat there squirming, sitting on being told off and not getting what I thought would be my gold nuggets.

Anyway, by that stage I had trumped up quite a few of JT’s functions of getting knowledge and learning techniques etc. and then going to work on my businesses being a bit more smarter.

Eventually after some health problems etc., I thought I’d start looking at doing my personal one on one coaching now that I had a better mindset of everything else. If I had done it at the beginning, it all would have gone in one ear and out the other, as it does with so much coming at me – big picture, not fine detail, and it would have been wasted.

Up until this stage, having been part of JT’s Family FIRST for a year, I began to grow to be more. Some of the places I went to for his functions and workshops were.

SOUTH AFRICA

In Johannesburg, I met some amazing people, and he let me go on stage doing a partial MC. I have to say right from the beginning JT said to me, you would make a good speaker. HA!! Yeah right, you’re just saying that to make me feel good.

BUT… of course he also planted a seed, not for immediate action, but of course it would grow. JT has an ability to see people for what or who they are which is great, so maybe he saw something I didn’t, or didn’t think was possible.

So out in front of 2000 people he sent me, no training, ‘you’ll be right Jake mate’ (not that Americans say it that way – only us aussies do..)…….

My first experience, but what an experience. I was so nervous I didn’t know what to say. I got to introduce JT on stage and all I had to go by was the video I saw of that guy in America (Bruce Buffer I think) saying… heeeeeeeeeereeesss Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy Teeeeeeeeeeeeee Foxxxxxxx and in his same deep voice. OMG, did I do that. Hahahahaha oh well, live and learn – please train me next time JT.  So, my first experience on stage, thankyou JT.

WOW MEETING MY IDOL JOHN TRAVOLTA

Wanting to brand myself as they teach you, take advantage of every opportunity, get photos of yourself with every celebrity, videos when you’re on stage. HA!! Here I am with my phone to video in my hand and completely forgot to do it and lost my opportunity. Good One Serena… Trying to work out what things to say to make people laugh, and forgetting every-one of them once I was in front of the crowd.

Anyway, the experience was awesome, amazing, nerve wracking, terrifying and fun at the same time. I want to do it again, but I feel each thing you do, brings you a little bit smarter to something bigger and better, and part of you starts to grow and you become more.

WINNING THE ‘AUSTRALIAN ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR AWARD’

amazing thing happened whilst we were there as well. They were giving out awards and all of a sudden, I hear my name get called out. JT Foxx’s Australian entrepreneur of the year. Oh wow, what an honour to receive a medal for that. Quite proud I must say. And I took advantage of when I went on stage to give JT an Aussie gift I bought all the way over from Australia. It was a souvenir bottle opener and supposedly made out of kangaroo balls.

Well what do you do when you want to give a gift to someone who has everything. You want to give them something unique and different, representing your country. Needless to say, he gave them to George Ross and now I believe they ended up on Therese’s desk. Hahaha   Another thing I love to do, was when JT is in my world, my country, I make a point of going to every function in every state if I am in Australia at the time. I love sitting at the front desk with the guys helping them out, signing people into the seminar, and feeling part of it all. I get to meet everyone which I also love, sharing with people.

SHY SPEAKER – WORDS TUMBLE ALL OVER EACH OTHER

Then out of the blue, JT will call me up to the front of the stage, to sing my wonderful feelings of all my experiences etc., cos I have had some really great ones, but nerves hit again, I get up there, the right brain kicks in, and I have no idea what comes out of my mouth, but as my business partner tells me, it wasn’t pretty much what JT asked me about. Hahahahahaha, oh well, it must work. She would laugh and say – you know you never answered his actual question. OH. Really!! I can’t remember what he asked, I was just nervous and said whatever came to my mind. Who cares, I can shout to the world how awesome My experiences have been with JT and his team. Experienced some great coaching in my Dream Team events, and my personal one on one coaching this year, so finally getting further than I have before.

Having a coach gives me structure, planning and a direction to follow. I am big picture visual person, so usually run by my brains thoughts and its images. Never figured myself as a business person, so don’t know how I got in this place in the first place, but love learning how to handle it like JT does. It also helps to break down your old conditioned barriers of thinking your not worthy or good enough, and can’t really do it. If fear sets in, its easy to back off, and blame others for your inadequacies, of not being able to produce and be successful. But the biggest thing I learnt is that, you can;t do it on your own, and you wont grow much unless you have the experiences of those better than you. THAT is where coaching comes in and everybody should have a coach. JT has about 6 himself, amazing coaches they all are as well.

I have been to many, many functions, seminars, workshops in my life, trainings, guru marketing events and so on, and I have to say, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME, I saw a person and a company actually do what they said they would.

Now, the big thing here is if you’re someone who feels they haven’t, I would have to say maybe your part or involvement wasn’t as good as it should have been, because it takes two to tango, not one. Doesn’t matter how much money you pay anybody, it ain’t going to work unless you put in effort. Don’t pay the money and sit back and wait. Sometimes you have to learn by trial and error, what works, what doesn’t etc.

If a right brainer, with no business experience, except for gut, intuition and a go gettum personality can do something, anybody can.

If you think you can do it on your own, WRONG, you’re only going to be as good as your thinking can be, and previous experience, but nothing new and nothing to excite your juices to be more, with lots more experienced knowledge from others. And you won’t be able to be in front of others, if you’re not being coached to think outside the box, to be different to your competition and to get BIG thinking ideas to make your business more than what it is.

Thanks to some of the workshops I went to, it’s not just the other people from all over the world you get to meet, mix with, do JV business with, create new businesses with, get invitations to work around the world with but you also get to rub shoulders, listen to and learn off great and awesome celebrities.

TO BE A PART OF OR NOT BE A PART OF – YOUR CHOICE

JT may seem to some people aloof, but when you have hundreds of people trying to get you to listen to their stories, or sell their trade to JT, and yet are not interested in investing in him to have this option, he won’t be interested. When you’re a #FamilyFirst member, a student, in his programs or coaching courses, then you have right of way to be involved with JTFoxx. This I love, as JT loves nothing more than loyalty, and when they achieve success by following his lead, listening to his advice etc., that they never forget where it also came from. JT, can open many doors for many people in many ways, and get them involved in many countries. I have seen this with hundreds of his students.

Anyway, I can only end up by saying, you can be someone who can call JT a scammer, rip-off merchant, or you can be one of his students who get to be very successful, I believe it all falls on the shoulder of the person and how they take on what he teaches or shares. We all have life conditionings to react often in negative ways, but seriously, if you decide to take on JTFoxx, listen, learn and grow. Only way to go. Keep the ego in tight rein, and see if you can also be as successful as he is, and well loved by his #FamilyFirst members.

JT, I salute you man. Nobody hates you, as there is nothing really to hate – they envy you for doing so well with yourself, and we all have a lot to learn from it.

Love being part of the #FamilyFirst. I am getting where I need to be as a right brainer who is a bit scattered and wanting to change the world..

I have learnt how to run a business successfully, and yes have tried to do too many businesses, but opportunities through being part of your organisation have opened many doors for me, and also given me two successful business partners and opportunity as well, world wide.  The nextworking with worldwide experts has been absolutely huge and given so many opportunities and business growth.

One thing – Never forget where you came from, no matter how much you grow.  #FamilyFirst is a CULTURE and can also be so much fun.

Thank you to you and all the people in your fantastic company team. You guys follow through. Anybody wanting to contact these guys – http://jtfoxxblog.com/contact-us/ (updated December 2018)
