The Freedom Factor: 
How close are you to your freedom?

Hello there!
 
I am so happy that you are here! 
 
This is the initial step on your journey to freedom. This short quiz will help you determine exactly where you are starting from, so we can best strategize on how to get you to where you want to be: freedom.
 
I know that you are beyond excited to reach your freedom. I am confident that you will get there....sooner than you could have ever imagined!
 
Here are a couple guidelines to help you get the most from this quiz:
  1. It is crucial that you answer these questions as honestly as possible. Remember, the goal is to get an accurate starting point and that is difficult to do if you are not 100% honest. You are the only person seeing your answers and your results.
  2. Answer the questions as things are right now in your business, not how you want them to be in the future. Remember, in order to get to where you want to go you need a crystal clear picture of where you are right now.
 
Now dive in, and lets get you to your freedom!
