Who is Keith L. Jones
I’m a 36yr old man that is on the pursuit of happiness. After working my butt off to obtain 2 degree’s, a B.A. in Communications and a Master’s in Education. I've worked many jobs trying to find my place in society. However, after 14 years in corporate America, I never found a J.O.B that I could call my Dream JOB. Don’t get me wrong I had low and high paying jobs but, was never fully satisfied with none of the positions. Some was fulfilling and some weren't. Some gave back to the community and some didn't.
It wasn't until I was worked for a marketing company that really changes my life. I help this particular company gross 1 million dollars under my name within a year and to reward me they gave me a $50 dollar gift card to Amazon.com as recognition for all my hard work. They even took taxes out of my check. I was making $31,000 dollars a year with 2 degrees trying to get a promotion that after 2 years I realized I would never get. My co-workers were being promoted and not me. I was on time everyday, rarely called off from work, and missed a ton of family activities because of my commitment to their business (KEYWORD, their business).
That was my turning point in my career. I could not believe that I was in a situation where I knew I gave them (the business) more time and effort that they deserved. That’s when I start to think. If I could bust my tail and help them make 1 Million dollars, why couldn't I make at least ¼ of that working and building my own business? I had the experience that I needed. Work ethic, time management, management skills, etc. The major component that I had that made me believe in my self was desire to be successful. I believed in myself more than anyone else did.
So in August of 2012, I set out to build my business. It’s been the best 10 months of my life. Sure it’s been a bumpy road to get where I’m at currently however; the experiences that I've gain was invaluable to my success. I’ve met many people that I have the pleasure of calling my business partners and friends. The downside of this process was I lost some key connections with people that I believed were my closest friends, people that I called my family. My inner circle grew even smaller with my decision to control my own financial future. After speaking to several people and reading many books from successful entrepreneurs. This is what happens when you start to think outside the box. Change the way you think and change your surroundings.
So now my Purpose in life is to HELP as many people as I can to build the life they only dreamed about. Not by becoming their BOSS, by becoming their teammate in success.
This is my pledge to my TEAM throughout our journey together.
