Speaker 1: You are. I appreciate you appreciate, So tell me about
2:18
Speaker 1: that when I mentioned that, a little little history here.
2:21
Speaker 1: Last time I ran into you was at the HBCU
2:23
Speaker 1: week where ESPN, Stephen A. Smith, Magic Johnson, Amntroy Vincent
2:28
Speaker 1: was down there and we were showing everybody about the
2:30
Speaker 1: experience of HBCU. There was no sporting event, and afterwards
2:34
Speaker 1: we had a college fair where you can get own
2:37
Speaker 1: the spot registration and at that college fair, over students
2:41
Speaker 1: were registered and accepted on the spot, and they were
2:45
Speaker 1: over nearly four million dollars in scholarships that were distributed
2:49
Speaker 1: to the students. Uh probably about a little bit of
2:51
Speaker 1: the five hundred got those scholarships. And Dana was there
2:54
Speaker 1: not only promoting that the event was happening, but she
2:57
Speaker 1: was speaking at the event, and that's how we connected.
2:59
Speaker 1: And I said, hey, you said you're gonna put them
3:01
Speaker 1: on the show. I said, man, come on that, come here,
3:03
Speaker 1: come on now now, since that it happens, what's been
3:08
Speaker 1: happening since I last saw you. Let's get a little
3:10
Speaker 1: catch up and now you're on the show now, and
3:12
Speaker 1: what's going to happen in absolutely so, first and foremost,
3:16
Speaker 1: I appreciate you for having me on the show. Um
3:18
Speaker 1: it was awesome meeting you and being at that event,
3:21
Speaker 1: so much poultry that was in the room. And basically
3:25
Speaker 1: since then, from September until now, we've been so locked
3:29
Speaker 1: in going into tax season. So I think the last
3:31
Speaker 1: time that I met you, we've had over a three
3:34
Speaker 1: hundred plus license jumping Jack tax partners around the country,
3:38
Speaker 1: and now between September and December, we have doubled from
3:41
Speaker 1: three hundred and six hundred licensed partners around the country. UM,
3:44
Speaker 1: so it's been it's been totally amazing. The energy has
3:49
Speaker 1: been ridiculous. We were literally shaping the way that people
3:54
Speaker 1: are now looking at the tax industry. And I love
3:57
Speaker 1: it because we're one of the only companies that has
3:59
Speaker 1: ever done it, where just through culture and just through
4:02
Speaker 1: being ourselves, we're now making it fun for the everyday
4:06
Speaker 1: person that is in our communities, that younger individual to say, hey,
4:10
Speaker 1: I'm taking taxes serious. I want to learn about taxes
4:12
Speaker 1: because of the biggest thing is if I got to
4:16
Speaker 1: literally pay taxes for the rest of my life, why
4:19
Speaker 1: not learn how to do it and it's not something
4:21
Speaker 1: that we're taught at schools. And that's where Jumping Jack
4:24
Speaker 1: taxes now filling that void to not just provide that
4:28
Speaker 1: everyday person in our community with the opportunity be able
4:31
Speaker 1: to start a tax business, right, but now offer that
4:34
Speaker 1: same everyday person the education by connecting them with the
4:37
Speaker 1: tax professional and a billion dollar industry. Because people don't
4:41
Speaker 1: know that this this this thing makes billions of dollars here.
4:44
Speaker 1: And uh, I don't like to you know, I don't
4:45
Speaker 1: like to name drop a lot of big companies, but
4:48
Speaker 1: you know the corporate tax companies that are out there,
4:50
Speaker 1: but they make billions of dollars inside of our communities
4:53
Speaker 1: year over year over year over year. From January through April,
4:57
Speaker 1: they closed the gate and then they leave. You don't
4:59
Speaker 1: see them again until December, right December twenty, right after Christmas,
5:03
Speaker 1: and they open back up. But how many of them
5:05
Speaker 1: are actually pouring back into the community from the busiess
5:08
Speaker 1: of dollars that they take? How many of them are
5:10
Speaker 1: actually educating the customer based on why this? Why? Why
5:14
Speaker 1: do you? Why are you even getting a tax return
5:16
Speaker 1: to begin with, and how are you strategically using the
5:19
Speaker 1: money to make investments so you can be financially free.
5:22
Speaker 1: And that's where Jumping Jack tax is coming in because
5:24
Speaker 1: we're shifting that in this entire industry up. Well, what
5:26
Speaker 1: you're doing is that, first of all, can you can
5:29
Speaker 1: you explain us the business the business model of Jumping
5:31
Speaker 1: Jack Taxes before I started asking questions? Absolutely, so, Jumping
5:35
Speaker 1: Jack tax is a licensing company. A lot of us
5:38
Speaker 1: will look at us as a franchise and for those
5:40
Speaker 1: that are listening, there's a big difference between licensing and franchise.
5:43
Speaker 1: To me, a franchise is pretty much you're glorified employee.
5:47
Speaker 1: They provide you with the business plan and for example
5:50
Speaker 1: of semi donalds McDonald's provides you with that business plan.
5:53
Speaker 1: As the franchise, You've probably got to have a million
5:55
Speaker 1: dollars in liquid assets to even buy into the franchise.
5:58
Speaker 1: And when you do, and have to be done exactly
6:01
Speaker 1: the way that they say, the milkshack machine gotta be
6:03
Speaker 1: the same way the fries machine gotta be over there.
6:05
Speaker 1: Everything gotta be done that way in order going to
6:07
Speaker 1: shut you down. Now with licensing, which is one of
6:11
Speaker 1: the biggest billion dollar industries in the world, Uh, just
6:14
Speaker 1: to talk about licensing a little bit. Walt Disney is
6:16
Speaker 1: the biggest licensing in the world. They be over fifty
6:19
Speaker 1: billion and licensing a year. Where literally you licensed out
6:22
Speaker 1: your name to UH to somebody, they pay for the
6:25
Speaker 1: licensing and they're able to use your name to make
6:27
Speaker 1: money because you've built up a big enough brand. We
6:30
Speaker 1: went into the licensing industry with Jumping Jack Tax to
6:32
Speaker 1: where now people, the everyday person can use the Jumping
6:35
Speaker 1: Jack Tax brand that we've built up all over the Internet,
6:38
Speaker 1: all over the country with national branding to now be
6:41
Speaker 1: able to add that to their tax business and now
6:43
Speaker 1: they're able to get customers through that. So we pretty
6:46
Speaker 1: much enroll you in online tax prep school, give you
6:49
Speaker 1: to all the knowledge and education that you need on
6:51
Speaker 1: basic tax law. We show you how to market your
6:53
Speaker 1: tax business, and we've built our own mobile application where
6:56
Speaker 1: we've created an ecosystem and a customer base to we're
7:00
Speaker 1: literally sending all of our text all of our tax
7:03
Speaker 1: licensed partners leads that are in their area. So when
7:06
Speaker 1: somebody downloads the app is going to pull their zip
7:08
Speaker 1: code and it's going to connect them with the closest
7:10
Speaker 1: Jumping Jack tax professional in their area. So we built up.
7:13
Speaker 1: Every single person that's a license of our company with
7:16
Speaker 1: the ability to be a tax professional. Many of them
7:19
Speaker 1: have not even come in with that experience. That's amazing
7:21
Speaker 1: because right now you give them credibility. That's what you are,
7:24
Speaker 1: your credibility brand and allows people to go onto this
7:28
Speaker 1: app and say I'm in Houston, Texas. Go to Houston,
7:30
Speaker 1: Texas and you'll see people that have who've subscribed and
7:33
Speaker 1: a license to your brand. And how do you vet them, Prince?
7:37
Speaker 1: How do you vet them? The the people who are
7:40
Speaker 1: coming over to us to start their tax business. Yes,
7:45
Speaker 1: I'll tell you a crazy story. A lot of people
7:47
Speaker 1: don't believe. This is when we had first started licensing
7:50
Speaker 1: about a year ago, I literally spoke to every single
7:55
Speaker 1: person on the phone, but over six hundred plus partners.
7:59
Speaker 1: I literally so old all too like about two hundred
8:01
Speaker 1: and fifty to three hundred before we even started adding
8:06
Speaker 1: um others sells people onto the team, so I would
8:09
Speaker 1: it was. It was the days where I'm literally on
8:11
Speaker 1: the phone from seven am in the morning all the
8:13
Speaker 1: way up until ten o'clock PM, about to close my
8:16
Speaker 1: eyes and sleep because I'm selling every single person individually.
8:19
Speaker 1: I based my sales process not yourself of income, but
8:22
Speaker 1: off of money. And the biggest thing I tell everybody,
8:25
Speaker 1: because Jump and Jack Tex stands on the foundation of
8:28
Speaker 1: us being able to share with one another and a
8:30
Speaker 1: group economics. And every single person I asked, when when
8:33
Speaker 1: I'm selling them on the processes, do you believe in
8:35
Speaker 1: group economics and do you believe in sharing information that
8:38
Speaker 1: you know with other partners? And if they say yes,
8:41
Speaker 1: that is my biggest requirement because everything else can be taught,
8:45
Speaker 1: but it can't be taught. Is you learning how to share?
8:49
Speaker 1: And you're having a selfish mentality when it comes to
8:51
Speaker 1: our community. And the reason why that's very important is
8:54
Speaker 1: because it fits into the mode of the overall vision
8:57
Speaker 1: of what we're trying to achieve. And I tell everybody
8:59
Speaker 1: that's is that it's not about taxes, especially when it
9:03
Speaker 1: comes to our to our minority community. It's not about taxes.
9:06
Speaker 1: It's not about what industry that you go into, but
9:08
Speaker 1: it's about all of us pulling our dollars together to
9:10
Speaker 1: achieve a common goal. Taxes, to me, is just a
9:14
Speaker 1: vehicle for us to be able to generate revenue in
9:16
Speaker 1: a billion dollar industry. Right if every single person, let's say,
9:23
Speaker 1: after this tax season is over, every one of our
9:25
Speaker 1: jumping Jack tax partners now has just made a hundred
9:28
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Now I'm going to be able to go
9:31
Speaker 1: to each and every one of them because the understanding
9:33
Speaker 1: group of economics and sharing and say, hey, there's this
9:35
Speaker 1: there's this block that has all of these abandoned buildings.
9:38
Speaker 1: How about all of our partners. Let's all of us
9:41
Speaker 1: put our money together a certain percentage of that revenue,
9:44
Speaker 1: and let's all buy that block together, and we all
9:46
Speaker 1: have a piece of that ownership. But we have the
9:49
Speaker 1: numbers to be able to do it if we work together. Well,
9:52
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty hot. That's what we're trying to achieve.
9:54
Speaker 1: So that I need people to have the heart. Well
9:57
Speaker 1: you got what you got the heart and the plan.
9:59
Speaker 1: That's what I love about. I gonna just tell you
10:00
Speaker 1: we're about to go to break here. But Prince, when
10:02
Speaker 1: I when I ran into you and uh will with
10:04
Speaker 1: the delaware you know you wasn't you know? I thought
10:07
Speaker 1: you was a low key guy. You're a hype man brother,
10:09
Speaker 1: because you know Dana can talk cheak talk talk coal.
10:14
Speaker 1: But man, you got the skills too. And I'm really
10:16
Speaker 1: impressed with this whole duel. I can see why you
10:18
Speaker 1: two are successful. We come back and asking more questions
10:20
Speaker 1: about social media, marketing, family, working together, what you guys
10:24
Speaker 1: are doing, community and black economics, because that's what you do.
10:27
Speaker 1: I watched the video online and uh, you're impressive. Mary.
10:31
Speaker 1: That's why I gave you the intro. I gave you.
10:32
Speaker 1: Be right back with more money making conversations. Hi, this
10:35
Speaker 1: for Sean McDonald, and you're listening to money making conversations
10:38
Speaker 1: on the phone. Is a part of that dynamic duo
10:41
Speaker 1: of Jumping Jack Tax Prince Donnelle. It prints before we left,
10:46
Speaker 1: you was talking about being on the phone. It's really
10:49
Speaker 1: I had a comedy club back in Houston back in
10:51
Speaker 1: the day, and uh, and sometimes I was just answering
10:55
Speaker 1: the phone on Friday night when it was and I
10:57
Speaker 1: would tell you I would pack that place just answering
11:00
Speaker 1: the phone with just a few phone calls because actually
11:03
Speaker 1: knew my brand. I knew how to talk to my
11:06
Speaker 1: customers versus when I had staff in there, well nobody
11:10
Speaker 1: in the club. So I know that when you talk
11:13
Speaker 1: to the customers from the from the seven and ten
11:16
Speaker 1: pm at night, you extended a good understanding of what
11:20
Speaker 1: people the opportunity that people could could achieve. They came
11:24
Speaker 1: on board with Jumping Jack Tax. Correct. Correct, and it
11:29
Speaker 1: also set a standard too. Crazy. Story is that when
11:35
Speaker 1: you talk to every single one of our Jumping Jack
11:38
Speaker 1: Tax partners right now, they'll tell you the main reason
11:41
Speaker 1: why they signed up and paid the Liken to T
11:43
Speaker 1: fee of five thousand dollars. And it's surprised the heck
11:45
Speaker 1: out of me. Every single one of them said, don
11:48
Speaker 1: the defining factor between me choosing Jumping Jack Tax and
11:52
Speaker 1: not choosing some of the tax company with the fact
11:54
Speaker 1: that I've never met a CEO that was humble enough
11:57
Speaker 1: to answer the phone and say hello to me. That's true,
12:01
Speaker 1: and they say the same thing with me. Aren't you
12:03
Speaker 1: the host this? Yeah, they go, you're answering the phone,
12:07
Speaker 1: I said, I say, I want you to come see
12:10
Speaker 1: me to night. To that people don't understand that. That's
12:14
Speaker 1: the key is that we we live in this world
12:17
Speaker 1: of social media to where we feel like we're supposed
12:19
Speaker 1: to be untouchable from the everyday person, not realizing that
12:22
Speaker 1: that every day person is the one who builds, who
12:25
Speaker 1: builds the business, who who helps us to grow. So me.
12:29
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see a day where I'm never
12:31
Speaker 1: not on the phones are connecting with the people, because
12:33
Speaker 1: that is the key to building a successful business. You
12:35
Speaker 1: have to be the one that leads it first before
12:38
Speaker 1: everybody else can see the examples of it. And the
12:41
Speaker 1: reason why our culture is the way it is is
12:43
Speaker 1: because every single day I'm on the phone selling people
12:46
Speaker 1: on the brand and the vision because nobody can do
12:48
Speaker 1: it like me. And every day I'm training all of
12:50
Speaker 1: our partners on how we want this company to be.
12:53
Speaker 1: So it's no surprise as to why it is the
12:56
Speaker 1: way it is now. Because you gotta build a big
12:58
Speaker 1: brick by brick and I have my hand on every
13:00
Speaker 1: single piece of it, and that I televery entrepreneur that man. Look,
13:03
Speaker 1: don't take any shortcuts in this. We've got to get
13:05
Speaker 1: down into the dirt and make it happen. Well, you're
13:07
Speaker 1: doing it. Let me ask one quick question. I went
13:09
Speaker 1: to the website Jumping Jack Tax website and there's a
13:12
Speaker 1: there's a video and it strolls down you guys are
13:16
Speaker 1: jumping Uh who are the individual large group of people
13:19
Speaker 1: and you and Dana in the very front of leaded this. Uh,
13:23
Speaker 1: this celebration. What is that group and what do you
13:26
Speaker 1: guys signifying with that video? Oh, we're signifying unity, that's
13:32
Speaker 1: what it is. It was. I remember the day of
13:34
Speaker 1: that event that was at our national conference in August thirties.
13:37
Speaker 1: Um many that don't know that they're listening. I grew
13:41
Speaker 1: up in Philadelphia my entire life, and every single day
13:45
Speaker 1: when I would work downtown when I used to work
13:47
Speaker 1: for the bank, I would walk by the Rich Carlton Hotel,
13:50
Speaker 1: one of my favorite hotels. I always wanted to sleep there,
13:53
Speaker 1: but it was out of my budget at the time.
13:54
Speaker 1: You gotta talk about four hundred dollars fours a night
13:57
Speaker 1: for a real I know exactly when you ask, it's
13:59
Speaker 1: expect to. So we got started with jumping Jack tax.
14:02
Speaker 1: I was walking down the street and I said, and
14:04
Speaker 1: this is this is the biggest investment that I've ever
14:06
Speaker 1: made in my life. This is the craziest thing. I'm
14:09
Speaker 1: walking down the street and I said, I want to
14:11
Speaker 1: have a national conference and I wanted to be at
14:13
Speaker 1: the Rich Carton Hotel. I called the folks on the phone,
14:16
Speaker 1: and I remember this. The lady was on the phone
14:19
Speaker 1: with me and she was like, well, you know, I
14:20
Speaker 1: know you want to get started. I know all of
14:22
Speaker 1: these things that you said that you wanted to have
14:24
Speaker 1: the side of this place, But I want to run
14:26
Speaker 1: you about forty dollars. So I stepped back for a
14:30
Speaker 1: second and I said, hold on, I've never spent this
14:33
Speaker 1: kind of money before a day of my life. I
14:35
Speaker 1: called back and I'm just like, you know what, let's
14:37
Speaker 1: do it. And from that day of having that national
14:42
Speaker 1: to all these thirties, that's what literally pushed us to
14:45
Speaker 1: that next level. And it made me realize that many
14:47
Speaker 1: times its entrepreneurs. We can't be afraid to spend money
14:50
Speaker 1: because when you let your money go, it always comes back.
14:52
Speaker 1: For friends, absolutely, you know, it's really uh. Then that's
14:55
Speaker 1: a fear of a fear of fear of the unknown.
14:57
Speaker 1: When they when they came back with that dollar figure,
14:59
Speaker 1: then you said you know something and you calm down.
15:01
Speaker 1: You look, because I always tell people, you know, you're
15:03
Speaker 1: gonna have to spend money to be successful. So if
15:05
Speaker 1: you if you're you know you can get you can
15:08
Speaker 1: spend get by money, or you can spend money. They're
15:10
Speaker 1: gonna make you successful. Now this is branding and being
15:13
Speaker 1: at the right place. And I knew exactly the rich
15:15
Speaker 1: Carson you're talking about. I've stayed there many times, so
15:19
Speaker 1: conduce to you. And so that was your first conference
15:22
Speaker 1: that you had last August. Is there going to be
15:24
Speaker 1: an annual event for Jumping Jack Tax? You said? Will
15:28
Speaker 1: there be another one? Yes, sir, oh absolutely, the next
15:32
Speaker 1: one is gonna be even better than this one. We
15:34
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta continue to set the standard. And uh
15:38
Speaker 1: me'm I'm I'm a huge believer. Literally, I'm more of
15:43
Speaker 1: like a as of right now in the beginning stages
15:45
Speaker 1: of this business. And every entrepreneur understanding is that the
15:48
Speaker 1: reason why we were able to grow at such an
15:50
Speaker 1: exponential rate as in this business right now is because
15:54
Speaker 1: I'm like a seventy thirty type of guy. And what
15:57
Speaker 1: do I mean by that? Literally seven cent of all
16:01
Speaker 1: the revenue that's made in this business with Dumping Jack
16:04
Speaker 1: Tack is being reinvested right now into every area of
16:08
Speaker 1: marketing and being able to grow to brand. It's what's
16:12
Speaker 1: being used for me to live off of and to
16:14
Speaker 1: be able to pay pay all of the bills that
16:16
Speaker 1: need to be paid for. All seveny percent of that
16:18
Speaker 1: money is going as a right now, we're investing that heavy,
16:21
Speaker 1: and entrepreneurs asked me or my wife all the time,
16:24
Speaker 1: how are you able to buy all of these buildings
16:26
Speaker 1: in cash and get it all and literally get this
16:31
Speaker 1: building redone in the matter of three months. Because we're
16:33
Speaker 1: really living off a thirty percent of our revenue right now.
16:37
Speaker 1: When most entrepreneurs coming to this game, and they think
16:39
Speaker 1: that when they become entrepreneurs, they're supposed to have an
16:42
Speaker 1: immediate lifestyle change. I'm supposed to be on the yacht guy.
16:45
Speaker 1: I need to get a brand car, need to get
16:46
Speaker 1: myself paid. Just paid myself to this day, send myself
16:50
Speaker 1: still to this day with a million dollar company. I
16:53
Speaker 1: pay myself literally less than thirty thousand dollars a year.
16:57
Speaker 1: People look at me and say, Yo, you're crazy, because
16:59
Speaker 1: I don't know how you live like that, because I'm
17:02
Speaker 1: living to the lowest capacity that I need to to
17:04
Speaker 1: be like to push this brand out, because it's not
17:06
Speaker 1: about me. It's about the company and all of the
17:08
Speaker 1: partners that are trying to win. Well. You know it
17:10
Speaker 1: shows in your first of all, you still dress good,
17:13
Speaker 1: your wife still dress good. So you know I need
17:15
Speaker 1: to follow you around a little bit there, you know,
17:17
Speaker 1: because you you you gotta crack, you gotta, you gotta wired. Brother. Now,
17:21
Speaker 1: the thing about it, first of all, I just gotta
17:24
Speaker 1: go back. You know when Dana was on the show,
17:26
Speaker 1: it was an energy and her passion that overwhelmed me. Man,
17:29
Speaker 1: you know because I never communicated with a young person
17:31
Speaker 1: like that. And I'm gonna say the same thing with you.
17:34
Speaker 1: You know, your your your thought process is very clean,
17:37
Speaker 1: and you approach this from a business perspective, and also
17:40
Speaker 1: you understand that the opportunities to go beyond just making
17:43
Speaker 1: a dollar, but turning that dollar around to to recycle
17:46
Speaker 1: it within the community. Now that photo, that that video
17:49
Speaker 1: that I was talking about this on the cover of
17:51
Speaker 1: the website, a lot of young people were in that
17:54
Speaker 1: with that is that is your brand being built through
17:57
Speaker 1: the through the through the younger community. And that is
18:00
Speaker 1: the craziest part about it. And and I'm still surprised
18:04
Speaker 1: and not understanding to this day how sixty five percent
18:08
Speaker 1: of our company with Jumping Jack Tax are our individuals
18:12
Speaker 1: under the age of twenty eight years old. Said, this
18:17
Speaker 1: is a lot of young people on this phote over here,
18:19
Speaker 1: look and tell you and and and people ask me,
18:24
Speaker 1: you don what is the secret how did you get
18:26
Speaker 1: younger folks to want to believe in at tax business
18:29
Speaker 1: and not even understanding is because they weren't believing in
18:32
Speaker 1: at tax business in the age of social media. Right
18:36
Speaker 1: now they're believing in a person. We live in the
18:39
Speaker 1: age of influencer marketing right now, Well we've never stopped
18:42
Speaker 1: living in the age of influencer marketing. You take a
18:44
Speaker 1: look look at the insurance industry. Everybody knows Flow Progressive
18:48
Speaker 1: the lover. That's the reason why Progressives has increased by
18:51
Speaker 1: billion dollars when they added flow to their commercials. The
18:54
Speaker 1: same thing here. You have to be the influencer of
18:57
Speaker 1: your brand and when people believe in that, they're going
18:59
Speaker 1: to follow whatever it is you do. But it comes
19:02
Speaker 1: with the level of responsibility. So so many younger people,
19:05
Speaker 1: a lot of them are coming out of college and
19:07
Speaker 1: of course you may you know this as well, that
19:10
Speaker 1: college debt is number one in the country as right now,
19:14
Speaker 1: forty is projected that by two thousand, twenty three of
19:18
Speaker 1: all college kids that graduated with college that are going
19:21
Speaker 1: to be in default. Right if we're at over a
19:24
Speaker 1: billion dollars in debt, which means that we have a
19:27
Speaker 1: huge issue in our country as right now, and my sister,
19:30
Speaker 1: prime example, graduated from school, she still can't get a
19:33
Speaker 1: job and her degree as of now, so that those
19:35
Speaker 1: are real facts. The kids need a game plan and
19:40
Speaker 1: unfortunately their parents don't have it because they don't know
19:44
Speaker 1: and they grew up in at different time where the
19:46
Speaker 1: end that was not around. So a lot of these
19:49
Speaker 1: kids they just needed a plan and jump in Jack
19:51
Speaker 1: tech them start to finish and then and then it's
19:54
Speaker 1: something for them to believe in. Its something tangible where
19:57
Speaker 1: they said, hey, I can start making money right now.
20:00
Speaker 1: Is that it's it's your version of Mary Kay, your
20:02
Speaker 1: version of Avon, your version of Amway, your Williams Insurance
