About this ebook
Do you want to take back your life and be more safe and secure?
Do you dream of having strong privacy online and in your everyday life?
This book will show you how.
The Successful Privacy Mindset is for anyone that has ever felt watched, ever felt that their privacy has been compromised or for anyone that has ever felt less than safe and secure. You deserve to feel safe at all times!
If you are a survivor of an assault, rape, mugging, stalker, identity theft, home invasion or any other ugliness - there will be ideas in this book that will make you feel safe. One of the most troubling things about crime is that the victim can feel the scars for years and years afterwards. My goal for readers of this book is to help switch you out of the victim mindset and into the survivor mindset. Take back your life. I know you can. You deserve to feel safe at all times!
After dealing with a stalker who tormented me for several years I finally decided enough was enough! I made a vow I would take back my life and that started with my privacy. Over the years I became an expert and made a new life for myself - one built on the principals of privacy and security. I used many of the same secret techniques used in the Witness Protection Program as well as additional precautions so I would never be a victim again.
In this book I will teach you all the tips and tricks you need to know to stay safe and regain your privacy. These tools will keep you invisible from potential stalkers and criminals.
I am not in law enforcement nor do I have a military background. I am simply a law abiding citizen that wanted to take control of their life - so I became a warrior for my freedom. I learned how to be a master of privacy both online and in my everyday life, and now I will show you what to do to stay safe too. Every tip in this book may not apply to every reader, but I can guarantee that if you follow even a few of the simple steps I have outlined here, you will be safer than 99% of your peers.

Hi, I’m Jack Norton. I am an Emmy Award winning American writer currently wandering around Europe. I love travel, reading, smoking lots of weed, collecting old records, eating raw vegan food, practicing yoga and obsessing over other people’s dogs and cats. I am married to my high school sweetheart Kitty.I am fiercely independent and always have been. I self-released my first album when I was just a kid back in 1997 and I self-published my first book way back in 2001. That was long before the days of indie authors and ebooks! Over the years, Kitty and I have created record labels, booking agencies, film and television production companies, publishing houses and more.Currently my focus is as a writer and publisher - authoring books across many genres from nonfiction (music business, motivation, musicology) to fiction (thrillers, steamy romance and pulps), poetry and memoirs. I also have a daily blog and host several podcasts.When I was a kid, Tiny Tim (the guy that sang “Tip-Toe Through The Tulips”) was my babysitter and neighbor. He taught me how to play the ukulele! When I was in elementary school I was a totally weirdo (I guess things never really change). I was obsessed with writing and music history. I started trading correspondence with authors Hubert Selby, Jr. and Nick Tosches. I also befriended musicians Tom Waits and Leon Redbone while I was still in middle school. I attended an Arts High School which is where I met my soulmate Kitty. Together we failed our way through high school and I graduated earning the lowest possible grade...while still being allowed to get a diploma. I remember the principal telling us that we would never have a career in the arts and that I specifically was a total failure as a creative artist and as a human being.Two decades have since passed and I have made my living solely as a professional working artist. In fact, I have no resume or job history - other than pursuing my own schemes and dreams over the years!Along the way, I taught myself how to be a filmmaker and ended up getting into the world of corporate video production. My clients included: the Pentagon (US Department of Defense), MTV, Disney Channel, Interscope, Island-Def Jam, KidzBop, Sony, Whole Foods and even Justin Bieber. I also directed dozens of music videos, short films and a few features as well. My 2015 feature length documentary film Jug Band Hokum included appearances by humorist Garrison Keillor, bluesman Charlie Parr and Grammy winning rap legends Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. The film had a successful run at major film festivals and independent cinemas around the world. And our entire production budget was $600.I love working through limitations and finding creative ways of self-producing creative content!Kitty and I co-created and self-financed a kids television show that ended up earning six regional Emmy Award nominations and was broadcast on over 150 PBS member stations nationwide and in 175 countries on the AFN Family Channel on Trinity Broadcasting Network. We spent just under ten thousand dollars to make the entire series. At the time, one reviewer called it “Barney meets the Black Eyed Peas”, because we were doing electro hip-hop music for preschoolers. LOL.Speaking of film stuff, I am a horrible actor but somehow I have appeared in a few films, including roles opposite Woody Harrelson and Laura Dern in Wilson (2016) and an unfortunate stint as a prisoner in the Tom Six cult horror film The Human Centipede III: Final Sequence (2015). In 2017, we wrote and performed four original songs for the Oscar nominated Willem Dafoe film The Florida Project (A24) which was made by director Sean Baker (Tangerine). The Florida Project premiered at the 49th edition of Cannes Directors’ Fortnight as part of the Cannes Film Festival. Pretty wild stuff.I no longer performing live, however over the years I have opened for: Norah Jones, Willie Nelson, Dave Van Ronk, Leon Redbone and the Squirrel Nut Zippers (to name a few). A few years ago, Kitty and I were given the incredible opportunity to perform in 19 countries for the US Pentagon, where we entertained military families in Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. We’ve also performed at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC and at the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee. We actually lived in Nashville for a while and really loved our time in Music City!In late 2019, we released Two Stalkers One Goal, a memoir co-written with Kitty. It is an inspiring book offering hope and healing for victims of stalking, cyberstalking, narcissistic abuse, gossip and bullying. We are survivors of a story so crazy that, well, you just have to read the book! ;)This is a great time to be a creative artist and independent creator. The makers movement has only just begun and I couldn’t be more grateful to be along for the wild ride through the golden age of creative content.Connect with me at:http://www.jackandkitty.comhttp://www.instagram.com/mrjacknortonhttp://www.twitter.com/mrjacknorton

Foreword: Who Is This Book For And Why Should You Read It
By Sally Cohen
Coming home from my twenty first birthday party in downtown Chicago, I was attacked. That was the first time violence from a stranger had ever been inflicted on me - but sadly it wasn't the last time.
Several years later I met a very nice man that volunteered his time to edit a short film I had directed.
(Don’t worry this film editor isn’t my friend Jack Norton who wrote this book, and asked that I write this introduction).
This man and I worked together for several days side by side. I felt safe and he put me at ease. Little did I know that the few days we spent together on this simple film project would send my life in a direction I could never have imagined. My film premiered in Chicago - and my editor was in the audience there to support me along with my friends, family and everyone that helped out on the film. I didn't see his behavior as weird (at this point). However, I began to get alarmed when he would show up at festival screenings in the various towns my film and I traveled to. He surprised
me with his support
in Detroit, Milwaukee and Minneapolis. The biggest shock was when my film was invited to SXSW and guess who again surprised
me with his support
? You guessed it! My editor had driven all the way from Chicago, Illinois to Austin, Texas!
As most of the cases of stalkers go, our relationship escalated rapidly. We had become Facebook friends during our initial days of editing together. However, somehow he found out my favorite coffee shop, and from there followed me home - and now knew where I lived. What's more, he showed up on the set of the next film I was shooting. How he knew where our location was, well - when I found out how he knew - I was beyond shocked!
Eventually, when I confronted him with my worries and explained that I felt we needed some time away from each other, he became verbally abusive. His temper was terrifying. That's when the real insanity began: he started to write letters to my family and friends. He showed up to my best friend's work and refused to leave until she talked to me on his behalf. One night, I arrived back from a shoot - and - he was waiting for me in my apartment! Thankfully, I live just three blocks from a police station and cops were on hand within a minute of my call.
To make a very, very long and detailed story short, this man consumed my entire life for nearly two years. Eventually, after the legal system all but failed me (I had a restraining order which he repeatedly ignored), I decided to take matters into my own hands. I began to study all of the books, blog postings and news articles I could find on privacy. I became a student of YouTube tutorials on safety, self defense and common sense privacy for the digital age.
My friend Jack Norton and his wife Kitty have a
