Three Ways I Can Help You

And how you can reach me

Jesse J Rogers — author / mentor / manager / math tutor / real estate agent

Sixteen years ago, I was right about where you are now.

Maybe worse.

I lived on a mattress in my friend Manny’s kitchen, because it was a small one-bedroom apartment. There was nowhere else to put me.

He didn’t exactly want this arrangement forever, as you might imagine. He started rent at $100 to help me get on my feet, but it was going to keep rising every month.

It was fun for a while, we played a lot of sports and video games. I read self-improvement books and dreamed of starting companies while he was busy finishing up his master’s degree. I found a part-time job that I hated. I couldn’t get a girl to go out with me to save my life (mostly because I was still too shy to ask). After 6 months or so, I had to leave Orlando and move back with my parents in West Palm Beach.

Manny and I are still good friends to this day, and I treasure that season of my life. But I’ll never forget how much it sucks to be broke.

Today I sometimes feel as if I have no time. But back then it was much worse to have no money. After all, my abundance of time got squandered on stress, worry, and escapism anyway.

I’m lucky for my parents. Even though they were pretty broke too back then, they’ve always been kind and wonderful people. I recognize now that not everyone has the support, encouragement, and guidance that I received.

Today, I live the American Dream — happily married, a full-time job, benefits, retirement account, homeowner… stability. Along the way, it sometimes seemed like a difficult road. I often made things much harder than they needed to be.

The truth is, I am where I am now in large part because I’ve caught so many lucky breaks and opportunities along the way. In retrospect, I now realize I was handed life on “easy mode”. Here’s my story so far in greater detail.

Your Story

By contrast to my story, if you’re setting up your adult life in the chaos of 2020, or starting a new one after losing a job or relationship, then I’m sorry. Truly. You’re not going to have access to the same opportunities that I enjoyed. You’re playing the game of life on “expert level” difficulty settings.

I wouldn’t have wished this on you or anyone else. But here we are. I won’t mince words: it is going to be brutal, and it is not your fault. All I can do is to help you face reality as it presents itself and teach you principles to become capable of overcoming unpredictable challenges.

But at the same time, there’s an enormous opportunity for you. And as terrible as it sounds, perhaps this is for the best. As Tony Robbins’ mentor Jim Rohn put it, “don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.”

Another phrase I want to ring in your ears comes from the ancient stoic Epictetus, “only the educated are free.”

Speaking of education, I’ve spent my career working at Palm Beach State College because we’re open access. Unlike prestigious and exclusive universities, we take everyone that has a diploma or GED. I absolutely love that. I want everyone to have a shot at a better life. I want you to flourish to the maximum of your potential. I want your future to drastically surpass the present-day limits of either your imagination or mine.

In this digital economy, everyone is trying to run the maze while the walls keep shifting. New dynamics keep opening up, while others are closing. I’ve already written a series of articles on the topic of how to thrive in an ever-changing environment, and I’ll keep sharing everything I learn.

Services I Provide

Writing Help

Back to your story— I don’t just want you to read, I want you to write. Write a lot.

Reading and writing are now and always will be vitally important skills, but not just for writing resumes, reports, or articles. It goes well beyond the ability to make money, although that’s important.

To perform the act of writing is a powerful first step to weaving the reality which you desire into being.

I’m not talking about something supernatural, per se, although I think spirituality is a meaningful aspect of life that I want to talk more about another time. For now, I’ll just say writing is a way to train your mind to clearly understand what you want and to solidify what you’ve learned. You’re conditioning your brain to be clear about what you desire and then to notice and seek out more of whatever you’ll need to get it.

Here are some articles to help you develop a writing habit and get the right mindset.

I sometimes give feedback to other authors who leave comments. Below are some examples. Be sure to put a link to your best article in the comments if you want me to take a look at your work and give a response.

Math & Business Tutoring

My day job is still as a math tutor for Palm Beach State College. I used to manage a large staff, but if you’ve read Redefining Education in a Digital World then you know that’s no longer the case. Now I’m back on the front lines tutoring math one-on-one remotely.

I find that a lot of people are intimidated by math, so I wrote this to help you face that fear.

If you’re currently enrolled at Palm Beach State College, your instructor will tell you how to access the Student Learning Center and make free appointments with me.

Subjects I tutor include:

  • Arithmetic
  • Algebra
  • Liberal Arts/Finite Math
  • Statistics
  • Trigonometry
  • Precalculus
  • Calculus 1&2
  • Financial & Managerial Accounting
  • Economics

When I have time, I put out free videos on YouTube like this one, so you can always check out my channel for free help.

If you’re not a Palm Beach State College student, you can book me for appointments on Zoom at a rate of $100 per hour. This is an intentionally high cost for one-on-one tutoring partly because that’s what I value my time at, but also because I prefer to incentivize you not to work one-on-one.

I strongly believe you’ll learn better as well as have more fun (yes, math should be fun!) by teaming up with classmates.

Splitting the cost among 5 study-group partners brings your cost down to only $20 per session.

If you’re a social butterfly who can recruit 9 other classmates to the session, then the ten of you would only pay $10 per session. That makes me far less costly than even the cheapest 1 on 1 in-person tutors out there.

Real Estate

As a homeowner, I can tell you that no investment decision has been better for my financial position than owning my home. I avoid rent and gain tremendously from the appreciation of this asset. Tragically, homeownership rates are far lower for my generation than they have been in the past. That significantly stifles wealth building and is putting us behind.

A desire to help you change that situation is one of the reasons why I got into real estate. I mainly serve Broward, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie Counties.

Here’s what I’ve written about my experiences so far.

If you’re moving to or already living in Florida, I want to get you into your own home. I want you to see your asset appreciate in value. And if I can’t you to help to get you into a home yet because you don’t yet qualify, then I want to help get you on the path as soon as possible.

Life is short, don’t defer your dreams.

If any of the ways that I can be of service would help you or someone you know, then please reach out and email me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you.
