"A BIO . . .
. . . WHO IS LON LINDSEY
My
name is Lon
Lindsey
and I am married to my wife, Jan. It is our hope that our religious faith
will be a source in guiding us as we continue to make
decisions for ourselves and influence others whom we
come into contact. We have two children who are now
both grown and leading their own lives.
I
am a former public school administrator in the Louisville/Jefferson
County school system. My wife was a high school English
teacher in the same system. Perhaps my greatest
accomplishment was being named Kentucky Middle School Counselor of the
Year in 1984.
Much of my time was spent as a middle school guidance
Counselor helping and guiding children and parents.
I was also treasurer of my church, Sunday school teach
and camp counselor.
In
1983 I formed my own company, JAN-L Marketing and in
1993 I incorporated. I had an interest in "Multi-Level"
Marketing ever since I was introduced to the concept
via an Amway meeting in the late seventies, but it was
when I received something in the mail that told how
I could build a business without meetings and totally
do it through the mail that I really got interested.
In fact,
I had such a passion for the industry I basically came home
from work and did another eight hour "stint"
on what I consider my second career. That career grew
into a passion which ultimately allowed me to quit my
job early and work network marketing full time. I can
truly say it was a pleasure seeing my children off to
school rather than their seeing me off to work each
school day.
I
began my MLM mail-order quest with a company called
International Home Shopping in which I became a state
director for Kentucky. Within three years, I had built
a solid business only to find that the company did away
with it's multi-level division. It was off to another
company . . . FFP .Financial Fitness Program. I again
built up a nice business all by mail and really had
something going when I was notified that the business
was being closed down for what was called lack of sponsoring.
It was on to another company, "Bykota," in
which I built
up a downline of over 1,500 distributors. I thought
I had arrived, but the door of success was shut in my
face when I found
out from one of my downline members that we were "out
of business."
As you might imagine, this was getting old as my goal
was to build a future as well as a present, but starting
over and over again was certainly not what I had in
mind.
I spent the next five months looking at companies, but
with a different focus. This time I was looking for
companies that had been around for awhile . . companies
that I would not have to worry about whether they would
be around next year. I was shocked as there were only
a handful and now I understand why. Not only did I find a company that had
been around for a long time, I found a company that
cared for people and had wonderful quality products
that made people's lives better . I found a company that had a heritage and
represented "apple pie, Chevrolet, and USA"
. . .a company that when I mentioned the name, people
smiled rather than walk the other way . .. a company
I could build my future on without worrying about whether
it would be around tomorrow.
I have been able to utilize many of my experiences in
order to develop a variety of business-building strategies
ranging from mail-order, classified ads/phone systems
and Internet business building. The Internet has opened
a whole new door to business building. I currently author
a FREE online newsletter called "The Master Networker . . . The Art
of Building A business." Should you be online, feel free to subscribe
by clicking here.
I have also developed a very valuable tool that has
helped thousands determine if they are really cut out
for their own home-based business. I've had many
tell me it was such a valuable tool for them that it
made a huge difference in how they approached building
a business. It's called the HomeBizQuiz and it will give you your own potential business
success rate based on nine critical factors I found
that determine success in our industry. If you
have not taken it yet, please do by going to http://www.homebizquiz.net
My goals are simple. To be a source of help for others
so that they can make a difference in their lives for
I know if I can help people attain their
goals, I will certainly attain mine.
