Daddy Loves You With All of His Heart Little Princess Elizabeth Grace Johnson
This morning my brother from another Mother Marcus came over to drop something off.
Marcus saw my daughter Elizabeth, who's first word by the way was "Dada", and he immediately said - "Aww! Liz is adorable. The boys are going to be lined up around the block to ask her out when she gets older."
Listen here you little future perverts, who are only about 3 years old right now, and I might be 10-15 years early with this warning, but still, this Daddy right here, Uncle Marcus, Uncle Chris, Uncle Kosta, Uncle Kevin, Uncle Matt, Uncle Gary, Uncle CIA, Uncle US Army, Uncle US Airforce, Uncle US Navy, Uncle US Marines, Uncle US Coast Guard, Uncle US Space Force, and Uncle US Secret Service will be watching every single one of you horny little teenagers who try to deflower my little princess!
My little princess Elizabeth Grace Johnson will not be deflowered! I am the most protective Daddy on earth times 10!
I'm going to say it one more time for you future hardheaded horny teenagers who may try to make a move on my little baby girl.....My little princess will not be deflowered!
Malia walked in while Marcus and I were talking about all the bodyguards, snipers, cameras, satellites, drones, swimming friggin attack ducks, and other Anti-Deflowering Security measures we will be instituting.
Malia said someday a Prince Charming is going to come along, sweep her off her feet, and deflower her in a way that I will be able to live with.
Seal Team Six, y'all are on anti-sweeping her off her feet security detail. Feel free to use any and all means necessary to subdue the perpetrator trying to sweep my little Liz off her feet!
Malia also thinks she will marry someone just like her Daddy, because that is what little girls do. A little girls Daddy is her first love. I teared up and then I panicked. Liz, when you grow up marry a Doctor. God, please don’t let her fall in love with “Evil Eddie” or something.
Malia, you may be right that a Princess Charming may someday sweep my little princess off her feet, but he is going to have to go through the ultimate daddy's little girl protection gauntlet imaginable.
Malia, to answer your question if I will give my little princess away on her wedding day, and the answer is- Never!
In all seriousness, I hope my little Princess Liz finds the man of her dreams, and they live happily ever after, but I will be watching you Prince Charming/Man of My Daughter's Dreams!
I feel like the luckiest guy/daddy/husband/dude in the world!
Sincerely,
Michael "MJ The Daddy" Johnson
P.S. I really do love being a Daddy..... https://www.mjtheterrible.com/
P.P.S. Malia, thank you for making me a Daddy, and thank you for bringing such love and happiness into my life. I never knew true love until we met. You are the light of my life, the fire of my loins, and my penguin infinity forever until the end of days!

“MJ The Terrible” & Team Digital Death Plane Crash Details
He was on a flight with his cyber crew, Team Digital Death, back home from visiting with President Elect Joe Biden and Vice President Elect Kamala Harris.
Well, the plane they were on crashed. MJ’s close friend and member of Team Digital Death Marcus was on the plane with MJ when it crashed.
Marcus said MJ slept through the whole thing. He said everybody was screaming and panicking while MJ was sound asleep and dreaming. “MJ was singing a Pearl Jam song in his dream with a smile on his face, while the plane was in free fall.”
Marcus also said MJ didn’t wake up until the paramedics got there. “MJ woke up saying to this big Lumberjack guy named Chuck- Malia, you feel like messing around?”
When he finally was awake, they said MJ asked where the airport was. He had no idea they crashed in a field and almost died.
Team Digital Death member Kevin who was also on the plane, said when they got out and saw where the plane crash landed, MJ said- “I feel bad for the pilot, because it looks like he tried to Captain Sully the thing, and land it in the water, but he was like 50 feet short. Look how close he was to getting us in the water.”
I swear my husband could be sitting in an open field, not a cloud in the sky, and suddenly out of nowhere the storm of the century would hit the field he was in.
Team Digital Death Member J Munda said MJ was completely calm after the crash while everyone else was scared shitless.
Team Digital Death member Gary said, MJ kept trying to find his phone to call me but couldn’t find it.
I’m glad MJ couldn’t find his phone to call me because I left a couple “Where the f@$k are you messages”, and now I feel like a giant bitch. He almost died and I was thinking he was off doing whatever. I thought the worst, in the wrong way. I absolutely trust MJ, but I was being an emotional pregnant crazy woman when I was leaving MJ the “Where the f@$k are you” messages.
I am glad no one on the plane got hurt. After they all got out of the plane, they said they couldn’t stop laughing because it was like nothing had happened at all to MJ, because he slept through the entire traumatic plane crash experience.
I hate to admit it, but after I found out they were okay, I laughed about it too. You would have to know MJ, to know that only something like this could happen to him.
MJ is just prone to the most unimaginable to anyone else type of things happening to and around him.
In the last 5 years, MJ has had subdural hematoma brain surgery, where he had to learn how to walk and talk again, went through a crazy up and down divorce, had 2 apartment fires, we got jumped at a private pool we were swimming at, a pipe burst in our house, and we had to have most of the interior of part of our house re-done, MJ fell down the stairs saving our son Cash from falling down the stairs, he was just in a plane crash, and more.
There is never a boring day being with MJ, and literally anything can happen, both good and bad.
MJ, I love you. I can’t believe you slept through a freakin plane crash! Marcus was like- “When the pilot announced the plane was going down, everybody buckle up and brace for impact, my black ass was scared as hell! Kevin was yelling “Oh God please don’t let us die!” Gary was flipping the f@$k out. Everybody was thinking they were going to die, and I looked over at our fearless leader MJ, and he’s completely relaxed and asleep humming a f@$king Pearl Jam song! I couldn’t reach him to wake him up. I tried to yell at him to wake him up, but he had his headset on, listening to music. The song your crazy ass husband was humming was “I’m Still Alive”. I was thinking, you are about to not be. Wake the f@$k up!”
Kristi, who is also a Team Digital Death member, and was also on the plane that crashed, was sitting across from Marcus, and next to MJ on his left, but across the aisle, said she told Marcus to let MJ sleep. “There is no reason to wake him up for the last minute of his life to be filled with horror. He has been through a lot of shit. Let’s let him enjoy his last minute of dream sleep.”
I am constantly amazed by how hard MJ tries to do good. He tries so hard to do everything right, and be a good guy, a good father, a good husband, a good friend, use his skills to help people, and all of that, and still utter freakin chaos breaks out around him all the time!
If I heard that MJ was on a plane that crashed into a train, that went off the rails and landed on a boat, that sank down into the water, that ran into a submarine, that was filled with aliens, I would almost believe it at this point.
I have determined that special people like MJ, who live the most interesting lives, are in this world to shape it, change it, hold it together, and to give the rest of us something to talk about/entertain us.
Baby, I am never letting you leave home again! Obviously I’m just kidding, but I love you, and I can’t live without you, so don’t die!

Michael Jordan Michael Jackson & Michael Johnson: The 3 MJ The Terrible's
Question: MJ, I came across your website's when I was having a debate with somebody about who was a better ball player, Michael Jordan, or Lebron James.
I found out Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson had the same nickname as you, "MJ The Terrible".
Did you know Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, and you, all have the nickname "MJ The Terrible"?
Did you use the nickname "MJ The Terrible" as a marketing gimmick, to get name association with the other 2 MJ The Terrible's?
They did come along before you, and have the nicknames first. Different industries though. You guys are "The 3 MJ The Terrible's".
Love your stuff man. Keep putting out the great info. Because of the post you did about making money as an Amazon affiliate, I signed up. So far so good. I have already made over 3 grand. Thank you for all that you do. Joe Albaugh Albany, New York
Answer: Thank you for the questions and compliments Joe! I am happy that you signed up for the Amazon Affiliate Program. I think it is one of the best ways to make money online as an affiliate, if not the best way to make money online as an affiliate.
I love what I do. It is a great feeling to be doing well, by doing good.
I did not know Michael Jordan or Michael Jackson also had the "MJ The Terrible" nickname, until recently.
As an entrepreneur, sometimes you get lucky breaks, and sometimes you don't. In this case, having the "MJ The Terrible" nickname association, with Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson, was a lucky break.
People have been calling me MJ for years. The "The Terrible" part, came together through the combination of the computer virus I was rumored to have created, that was responsible for a large scale international incident, and my son was 2 years old at the time, an age that is often referred to as "The Terrible Twos". Put those 3 things together, and people started calling me "MJ The Terrible".
My two cents on the Michael Jordan or Lebron James debate. It is a tough choice. I grew up watching Michael Jordan, but I was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, where Lebron James was born and raised. I enjoyed watching Michael Jordan play back in the day, and I enjoy watching Lebron James play now. I am not sure who is better, but I am damn sure glad they both have played the game of basketball.
Here is a link to the post about the Amazon Affiliate Program Joe was referring to, if you would like to check it out.....

Sometimes "Rock Bottom" Is The Best Place To Start Your Comeback by Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson
I am so happy right now. Happier than I have ever been. I went through 5 years of complete hell, which I thought was a curse, because I didn't know that those 5 years of hell, were really the life lessons I needed, to be happy personally, and successful financially.
2012 to 2017 were an all out assault on me mentally, financially, physically, emotionally, socially, and just about every other way I can think of.
After hitting rock bottom, and feeling nothing but depressed, about myself and my future, it hit me. When you have nothing more to lose, that's as bad as it can get, and sometimes it is the best place to be at, to make your comeback.
It took me awhile to realize that, but once I did, I started using it to my advantage. I cleaned house of all of the negative influences in my life, got my priorities straight, and focused on recovering mentally, physically, and emotionally.
The plan I put together with the beautiful angel I'm kissing in this picture, we called- "One Thing At A Time".
We knew it wouldn't be easy, but we also knew if stuck to the plan, we could do it.
We both thought it would take until about the year 2020, to settle and solve all of the problems, challenges, and issues we had.
As we started solving, fixing, handling, etc, one thing at a time, we started building some momentum. It wasn't long before we were knocking out big chunks of the list at a time.
It was one year ago today, February 25th, 2017, that we completed the entire list.
When I rolled over and kissed the beautiful girl in the picture this morning, she reminded me it was the one year anniversary of completing our comeback list.
I told her we completed the list 3 years early. That means we have some extra time to make a new list of things to accomplish.
She asked me what I wanted to accomplish next, and I told her there is only one thing on my list, and that is to love the shit out of her!
She said- "It won't be easy."
I said- Then how about we start one kiss at a time?
From there, use your imagination. #ilovesundays

The 2016 Presidential Election and MJ The Terrible
Vladimir Nikolaev (Moscow, Russia): I was reading a hacker rumor blog article about you. There are many unaccounted for coincidences. You have to admit.
MJ: Although I can't speak to this directly, for legal reasons, I will say this- From May of 2016, through the election, I was recovering from brain surgery, I was going through a divorce, I still had legal issues to solve, related to my involvement with an oil company I worked for, and more. Where would I have had the time to do this?
Vladimir Nikolaev (Moscow, Russia): Those could all have been distractions. The writer of the article mentioned how it was done legally, as not to get any one in trouble, if the plan would have failed or been found out. It is not illegal to use search engines to help a candidate get elected. Why not admit to it if you were involved?
MJ: If I had anything to do with it, I'm sure some day, some how, the world will know. But, if this did happen, and I was involved, I'm sure I would have done it for/with, only the best of intentions.
If my son, who has had to deal with so much of this already, woke up one day, sometime around his 40th birthday, and read or saw on the news that his daddy was involved in this and why, and by his daddy doing what he did, it helped the country avoid disaster, even though I probably won't be alive to see it, I bet my son/kids, will be pretty proud of their daddy!
Vladimir Nikolaev (Moscow, Russia): Ok. I may contact you again some time. I am happy your life is doing good. The article mentioned your strength of character. Good men deserve good things.
MJ: Thank you Vladimir. The best to you as well.

Valentine's Day & "The One" by Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson
Whether you are celebrating Valentine's Day with the one you love, your friends, your family, or will be enjoying some " me time" today, Malia and I would like to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!
From the time Malia and I started to show an interest in each other, there were some who didn't think it would work, who didn't want us to be together, that tried to tell us why we were wrong for each, that kept giving us reasons why it wouldn't work, and many/most of those people, I'm sure had the best of intentions.
The people who didn't think it would work, forgot to look at all of the reasons we were right for each other, and the reasons that it could work.
Malia and I at the time, didn't have all of the answers to the reasons why we would work. Over time though, we were able to find the answers to the reasons people were giving us, that we wouldn’t work.
I would like to answer those questions right here, right now, because some of you might be going through the same things/might have to answer the same questions, about your relationship, and maybe this will help.
Question: Malia is black, and you are white. That could be a challenge.
Answer: So f..... what! Should we not be with each other, because people might not like the fact that we have different skin colors? We both chose to be happy. If you don't like us, because our skin colors aren't the same, the problem is with you, not with us.
Question: You come from completely different backgrounds. That could lead to problems.
Answer: So f..... what! Should we not be with each other, because people might not like the fact that we come from different backgrounds? We both chose to be happy. If you don't like us, because we come from different backgrounds, the problem is with you, not with us.
Question: MJ is married. Are you willing to break up your marriage to be together?
Answer: This question was answered for us, because my wife left me.
Question: There is a 10 year age difference between you and Malia. How are you going to overcome that?
Answer: So f..... what! Should we not be with each other, because we were born at different times? We both chose to be happy. If you don't like us, because we were born at different times, the problem is with you, not with us.
I could write out and answer the other questions and answers people had for/about us, but the answer to every question that anyone ever had about us/for us, was pretty much the same. At the end of the day, we knew we loved each other, and we were dedicated to making it work/being together.
Is it possible we may not have worked out? Yes. Is it possible that the people who had questions and concerns about us, could have been Right? Yes.
We did listen to people's thoughts and concerns. We really did, but virtually every one of the people who showed concern/had questions about us being together, recommended we talk to each of our best friends, the person each of us turn to in our darkest hour, to see what they thought.
So, we each called our best friend, and asked them what they thought. I called my best friend, her name is Malia, to ask her what she thought. She thought us being together was a good idea. Then Malia called her best friend, his name is MJ, to see what he thought. Her best friend MJ, thought it was a good idea for us to be together also.
When you are in love with your best friend, who knows you inside and out, who is always there for you, who already fits into your life, who understands you, your wants, your needs, your goals, your fears, supports you, and knows what makes you tick, you know you are making the right decision by being with them, regardless of all of the factors that shouldn't matter....age, race, religion, etc.
There are definitely things that can make a relationship more difficult, but life and relationships both have challenges. Malia and I knew there would be challenges, but we knew each other better.
In the summer of 2016, right after I had gotten out of the hospital, Malia and I were sitting on our bed at our house in Bethesda, and she said- "Are you ready to tackle our challenges in Texas now?" I thought about it for a second and said- Yes. She said- "Are you sure?" I said back- You said- Are you ready to tackle our challenges in Texas now, and I said yes, because I'm sure. Then she said- "Why are you so confident?" And I said- Because we already made a comeback from death, you helped me learn how to walk and talk again, we have flipped the script on the truth about me, that I'm not really a villain, we put together a plan to make sure I had shared custody of my son, with my soon to be ex-wife, and we have built 2 successful businesses, all at the same time. Quite frankly, if I was our Texas challenges, I'd be running as fast as I could to get away from us, because we are going to crush them!
Then she said this- "I don't know what the future holds, but if the future doesn't involve us being together, I have some bad news for this future fella, because he is going to be changing his plans."
Bottom line....If you love someone, and they love you back....It's a beautiful thing!

The Rule of Three by Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson
"The Rule of Three" is one of the most effective sales/marketing/advertising strategies in existence.
"The Rule of Three" or spaced repetition of a message or ad, works like this- Say it once, so the person hears you. Say it again, to make sure they heard you the first time. Then you say it again one more time, to make sure they heard you one of the first 2 times, and so the message sinks in deeper.
Most consumers these days need to see an ad/hear a message several times before they feel comfortable enough/ become interested enough to buy a product or service.
It pains me to see companies spend a lot of money to create a commercial/ad, and then not have much money left in their advertising budget to actually run the ad much.
Spaced repetition is a crucial part of sales/marketing/advertising, and never before in human history, has there been a more effective and efficient marketing platform, than the internet.
If you are promoting a product, service, business, organization, or you're trying to raise awareness for something that you believe in, the internet can be a game changer!
"The Rule of Three"/spaced repetition by itself, used on just about any sales/marketing/advertising platform can be very effective. "The Rule of Three" combined with the internet, the the most effective and efficient sales/marketing/advertising platform of all-time, there's no telling what you will be able to accomplish.
Whenever possible, work smarter, not harder. By working smarter, not harder, you are more likely to achieve the success you want, and you are also more likely to achieve the success you want faster.

The 3 C's of Professionalism by Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson
There are undoubtedly going to be times in your business/career, where it will be difficult to stay calm, but try to remember that cooler heads prevail.Never lose your cool with a customer/client. Always try to maintain your composure, no matter what the customer/client does. When you do that, it shows that you can keep your composure in tense moments, and it builds their confidence in you.
When we are upset, we are unbalanced and unreasonable. Try to move beyond being upset as soon as possible, and never make big decisions when your emotions are doing the decision making.
My first sales manager and mentor, who I still consider to be in the top 5 best sales professionals/closers I've ever known, taught me the following strategy that I am about to share with you. I thought this was great advice back in 2003 when I first learned it, and I still practice it to this very day. The strategy is called the 3 C's of Professionalism.
Derron, or "Big D", as we used to call him, said this to me- "Michael, I always practice the 3 C's of Professionalism. Do you know why? Because if you practice the 3 C's of Professionalism, which are calm, cool and collected, you have the highest likelihood of getting the 4th, and unwritten C, which is cash, and cash is what makes it worthwhile enough to be away from your friends, family and loved ones during the business day."
"Don't settle for less than everything you want. Know when to shut up and collect the money. It's better to get paid than be right. Money doesn't buy happiness, but it can afford you the time to find happiness. Without a challenge you can't rise to anything. Pick your battles. Push your limits. Ask for more. Demand better. Eliminate should from your life by doing. Live a life without regrets by trying everything that interests you in the least and don't waste time, because time is the most valuable commodity in life." Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson, Founder & Owner of Masters of Money, LLC.
And always follow these 3 words, the most important 3 words for success and achievement- BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
How To Always Have The Highest Likelihood Odds For Success
1. Limit mistakes. Instead of saying or doing the wrong thing, think first and then execute.
2. Make success a must. If you must do something, then you will think of a way to do it, nomatter what.
3. Refuse to be outworked. Go early and stay late when you need to.
4. Use proven strategies for success. Proven strategies come with proven odds for success.
One of the fastest and most effective ways to succeed in life and in business, is to duplicate, not innovate.
If their is a proven/high odds for success strategy that you can follow to get started or improve your results, to achieve success quicker and easier then what you are currently doing, do it!
Proven formulas are called proven for a reason- They work! One of my favorite sayings is- “You can either be right or you can get paid.” Being right can be very expensive. Getting paid is very enjoyable.
By working smarter, not harder, you are more likely to achieve the success you want, and you are also more likely to achieve the success you want faster.
5. Learn from the people that are at where you want to be at in the future.
6. Master the basics. Many of lifes and businesses most important moments, come down to the basic fundamentals.
7. Improve your skill level whenever possible. Practice CANEI: Constant and never ending improvement
8. Learn from your mistakes. We all make mistakes, but if we can learn from our mistakes, then we are turning negatives into positives.
9. Focus. Having a single minded focus. Focusing on what you want day in and day out, keeps you moving in the direction of what you want. Anything worth doing, is worth focusing the majority of your time on.
When you throw yourself completely into what you are doing, you are much more likely to experience a positive outcome.
10. Communicate effectively. Try to keep all of your communication simple and to the point. Clear and concise communication, is more effective communication.
11. Be open to change. Change is coming whether we like it or not, so get used to it, and see the possibilities, versus resisting it, and only seeing the negatives.

Is "MJ The Terrible" A Mean Man?
Sometimes people ask me if I am a mean man, because of my nickname- "MJ The Terrible".
I always say no, but I probably deserve the nickname for the international event that transpired a few years ago. I've been through a lot, and it has made me a better, more caring person, who appreciates life, people, and things more.
This side of me is the past- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB3NQ_TiwDE

What kind of friend is "MJ The Terrible"?
Your birthday.......He's not remembering it.
Anniversaries........He's not remembering it.
Being unbelievably late to everything but you know he will always show up.........That's MJ.
When the world is taking a dump on you and you need someone who will drop everything they're doing to be there for you........That's MJ.
Need to bury a dead body in your trunk at 3 o'clock in the morning no questions asked and you never have to worry about the person telling anyone about it........That's MJ. Not that this has ever happened. Shhhh!
Need someones help because you are being bullied or messed with.........That's MJ.
Need someone to take your side when everyone is against you..........That's MJ.
Need someone who will say you were with them when there is incriminating evidence showing you were somewhere else........That's MJ.
Love and laughs,

An Open Letter To Haters
Dear Haters,
I'd like to take a moment to thank you. Thank you for pointing out all of my weaknesses, so that I can improve on them.
I really appreciate you spending so much of your time focused on me.
I almost feel bad for consuming so much of your time. I mean, while you spend your time finding my weaknesses and areas I need improvement in, your lives suffer.
Please make sure you spend time improving yourselves as well, because if you only focus on me, your own lives won't improve at all.
Sincerely,
Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson
