- Reclaim Your Time, Get Your Freedom and Grow Your Life in January at MAREI
Reclaim Your Time, Your Freedom, and Your Life
Are you feeling stuck in the endless grind of your business or career? Most people work harder and longer, thinking that’s the only way to success—but it doesn’t have to be.
Join us at the January MAREI Monthly Meeting for an eye-opening session with Dr. Jason Wojo of Lifeonaire, where you’ll learn how to create a life of financial and time freedom while achieving true prosperity.
Meet Dr. Jason Wojo
In 2009, Jason Wojo was living what many would call “the dream.” He had a great job, a fancy new house, and all the stuff that comes with it. But behind the scenes, he was drowning in debt, overworked, stressed out, and NOT Happy.
Jason knew he needed something different. Then he attended a meeting just like this one, and it changed everything. He found his niche, embraced the Lifeonaire philosophy, and began investing in real estate. Through these steps, he took his life back.
Years later, after sharing the Lifeonaire message as a student, Jason was invited by Lifeonaire founder Steve Cook to co-lead the company in 2016. Now, he’s on a mission to help others reclaim their lives too.
What You’ll Learn
Dr. Wojo will guide us through the 4 Stages of Financial Prosperity, a proven roadmap to help entrepreneurs escape the rat race and build a thriving life and business.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll take away:
- The top mistake business owners make that turns their dream into a trap.
- How to create a clear and actionable roadmap to reach your goals faster.
- Why “keeping up with the Joneses” is a financial disaster—and how to finally break free.
- A fresh perspective on how to design your business around your life (not the other way around).
Who Should Attend?
This meeting is perfect for anyone ready to transform their life and business:
- New to Real Estate Investing? Learn how to start your business the right way, avoid common pitfalls, and set yourself on the path to financial freedom.
- Growing Your Business? Discover how to scale effectively while maintaining balance and designing a business that supports your life, not one that takes it over.
- Seasoned Investors? Gain fresh strategies to escape the grind, reclaim your time, and focus on what truly matters without sacrificing success.
- Not Just for Investors: Whether you’re in real estate or another field, if you’re ready to make a change and live life on your terms, this event is for you.
No matter where you are in your journey, Dr. Jason Wojo’s insights will inspire you to take action and build a life you love.
Why This Event Matters
