Dr. Freeman has been the recipient of numerous awards, citations, and honors.
Some have called him a renaissance man. To the casual observer it may seem that he is scattered all over the place with many projects. Ten miles wide, three inches deep. His close friends know that he has a strategic purpose for everything he does. In fact there are no more than two degrees of separation between any two projects that have inspired his passion…and execution.
Dr. Freeman is a bulldog with a smile. He only starts projects that are worth finishing. And then he finishes them…even if it takes longer than previously anticipated—inspiring others to take advantage of the developed resources.
His latest project is creating replicas of the Rosetta Stone.

Work hard. Work smart. Enjoy the journey!
The book and popular seminar program, If Nobody Loves You, Create The Demand, have emerged over the years as Dr. Joel Freeman has built his own consulting business, along with his other entrepreneurial enterprises.
An alternative, long-winded title to this book could be, "If Nothing Is Happening in Your Business, Don't Sit Around Popping Martyr Pills– Work Smarter and Make Something Happen!" One reviewer of the advance manuscript said, "…I almost felt guilty getting this kind of information without having to pay…"
Combining personal vulnerability, pithy advice and reader-friendly content Freeman has developed an intriguing approach to the entrepreneurial journey.
Why was this book written? Simple answer. Time management. To free up Dr. Freeman's schedule. Freeman generously gives of his time and creative energy to help people with their entrepreneurial dreams. Reading this open and honest book is like sitting down with him over the dinner table for a private consultation for a few hours. When people call him, he now encourages them to read the book before discussing their ideas. Most questions are addressed in the book.
In the book, Freeman also includes creative ideas specifically customized for authors, filmmakers, graphic designers, artists, inventors, network marketers, franchise owners, mom entrepreneurs, teenagers, professional speakers and others.
