2021 Journal: Earning Freedom, January

by Michael Santos

Our team at Prison Professors created this Earning Freedom Journal series specifically for people in a jail or prison setting. We encourage the pursuit of a self-directed pathway to success. This interactive journal both teaches and inspires people. The Earning Freedom Journal series includes all of the leadership strategies that empowered me through 26 years in prisons of every security level. My name is Michel Santos. Anyone can use this journal to develop better critical-thinking skills and more persuasive communication skills. Use this journal to build strength, restore confidence, and prepare for success. The journals help people navigate challenging times.Leaders taught me the power of keeping personal-accountability journals. By making values-based, goal-oriented decisions, we can live productively and intentionally, regardless of where we may be. By using this strategy, I earned a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in prison. Publishers brought books I wrote to consumers. I got married in prison. Together with my wife, I started a publishing company to help others learn the lessons that leaders taught me. As a result of documenting the 9,500 days I served in prison, many income opportunities opened upon my release. Anyone can use this tool to build higher levels of liberty and prepare for success. One key to success is in documenting the journey. Each page of the journal offers instruction to prepare for personal growth and success,Create a strategy,Set priorities,Develop tools, tactics, and resources,Measure progress every day,Execute the strategy to succeed, andUse the record of accomplishments to leverage new opportunities.Participants may use this journal interactively. We encourage family members to follow along by visiting the PrisonProfessors.com/Journal or the Prison Professors’ YouTube channel to see the journal in action. We offer insight and practical steps that anyone can follow to prepare for success while serving a prison sentence.Please visit PrisonProfessors.com for more books and courses to help people prepare for success while going through challenging times.Sincerely,Michael Santos and our team Prison Professors
