JR Ridinger

James 'JR' Ridinger, Founder, President and CEO of Market America, Inc. passed way August 30, 2022.

Obituary: "Market America Worldwide | SHOP.COM has lost its great visionary, and the world has lost a passionate human being who believed in other people even more than they believed in themselves. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with JR have lost a friend, partner and mentor.  JR's leadership, passion and energy were the sources of an enterprise that enables people to live a more fulfilled life and a life on their own terms."

Market America stated: "J.R. leaves behind a company that only he could have created, and his entrepreneurial spirit will forever be the foundation of Market America.  J.R. always positioned and empowered his team to carry on into the future as he instilled belief in us and encouraged us to keep growing.  The company is forever strong because of the belief and passion J.R. instilled in all of us.  The foundation he built has prepared us to continue to carry his dream forward for generations to come." - directsellingnews.com

Now bear in mind that JR created an online retailer that has already generated 10 billion in sales and currently employs over 800 people world wide.  Earlier in the year, as I listened to JR speak, I began to more fully appreciate the impact both he and his wife Lauren have been making.  That 'impact' is made possible by their development and promotion of a unique system that will result in you benefiting from a 'self-managing company' as you build an income from retail sales!  

The Ridinger's have been helping tens of thousand of families improve their well being and financial outlook.  By working the 45 year plan JR and Lauren have been making it possible for us, the UnFranchise® Owners to achieve our own financial independence in just 2-3 years or less.   He's repeatedly made the point that once your UnFranchise® is running optimally, you'll have a business organization that makes money for you without you being involved in its day-to-day operations.  

TIME is the one asset you can never recover once it's spent!
