Ever contemplate who are you or in my case who am I. What am I all about? First and foremost, I attribute my parents for instilling in me to be a servant leader. My parents had endured the challenges of WWII and immigrated to the United States. Imagine leaving behind all their possessions in Hungary and arriving in the United States with just one suitcase with all their worldly possessions inside.
Growing up in a farming community in Northern Ohio, we learned to be self-sufficient by raising poultry, sheep, and pigs, and tending to a large vegetable garden. We rarely went to the local grocery store (10 miles away) for any staples.
My parents instilled in me that every male member of the family should serve this great nation. So, to honor my parents, I joined the Air Force. To my surprise, I ended up serving for 30 years (the original plan of 6 years). After that, I continue to work for the Air Force as a DOD civilian employee. At the end of 2023, my plan is to retire after 17+ years of service as a Department of Defense civilian employee.
Those almost 48 years of military and civilian Department of Defense service helped further shape who am I today. I learned the value of teamwork, overcoming obstacles, never giving up, and most of all, continuing to pursue your dreams; some, if not all, eventually become reality.
Who Am I-My Priorities
That brings me to the present. When I retire in 2023, I felt that there are a couple of priorities that I need to consider. First of all, I felt that I needed to have a worthwhile endeavor on a daily basis with flexibility. Next, I wanted to ensure that my youngest daughter and granddaughter would be taken care of when the time comes for us to say goodbye.
As a result, I looked at a number of options. In that search, I recalled that my College Marketing Professor highly encouraged me to get into this field. But as I mentioned above, my priority at that time was to serve our country in gratitude for accepting my parents as citizens! However, today, I am following that advice from my professor. It just took over 40 years to get here.
Who Am I: My Focus
All my life, I have been blessed! Throughout the years, my involvement with family, church family, and our community and military family has been an important part of our life. Recently, since joining RRR247, I have met an incredible community focused on not just earning an income source but being an important part of “paying it forward”.
Who Am I: A Marketer
I want to make the next chapter in my life to be as successful as my military and civilian service. With my education and life experiences, marketing is the right calling for the next chapter of my life. I know that this is the best solution to ensure my daughter and grandchild’s future is taken care of. I believe this effort is the best solution to providing a legacy business that will endure through the future generations of my family!
My Who Am I Summary
Who am I? Well it is Family first and foremost the key reason that I want to succeed as a marketer. Plus, I have to say that being a marketer has certain perks. Who doesn’t love to travel? Furthermore, RRR247 has introduced me to new products and services that I would not have known otherwise. For instance, becoming a member of an incredible premium wine of the month club. Even better taking advantage of natural nano tropic products to maintain a healthy lifestyle! That in itself is an amazing success in my mind and health!
