Hello Everyone, It's time Again for The BEST New Forum at AdlandPro that Honors Members of Our Community;
Welcome to *Adland's Weekly Parade Of Stars*! Week# 18
This forum is fun, exciting, and is a much needed addition to the AdlandPro community because we are featuring many great and caring people that may otherwise go unnoticed. That is why our forum is a little different than other ones here at Adland that honor members of our community.
Our forum features a member of the AdlandPro community each week who is truly a bright and shining *STAR*. It is a person that may not necessarily be a "high-profile" person per say, but rather someone that is not only a great friend to many, but also has a good heart and truly cares about others.

The Meaning of The Name JILL.
Jill is a shortname for Gillian wich comes from Raman names Julia and Julius. The name Julius is derived from Greek word 'ίουλος' (ioulos) "downy-bearded". Alternatively, it could be related to the name of the Roman god Jupitar wich is derived from Greek Zeus-Pater. This was a prominent patrician family of Rome, claiming descent from the mythological Julus, son of Aeneas. Its most notable member was Gaius Julius Caesar, ruler of the Roman Republic and a skillful military leader who increased the borders of the Republic into Gaul before being stabbed to death in the senate. This was also the name of three popes.

Here is JILL'S Bio:
I truly feel blessed and I thank you all for this very special honor.
My name is Jill Bachman. My wonderful husband, Cal, is also here on Adlandpro. We have 3 grown children, and 3 fun-loving grandchildren :-)
I am a full-time passionate Internet marketer with a HUGE goal for our entire family follow in our footsteps!
I was born in Pittsfield, MA to a mother raised in Boston, and a father raised in New York. My maternal grandmother never got used to that idea that my mother did not marry a Bostonian, so my parents conveniently packed up and moved to California when I was all of 6 months old. So, technically I am a Yankee-Californian :-) Although I still live in California, my heart loves the East Coast and all the incredible history.
I lived in the Oakland, CA hills through grammer school, and loved it! We were 1000 feet in elevation with a great view of the golden gate bridge The best part was being a kid in the hills with my friends. Our favorite sport was sliding down hillsides with cardboard boxes on pineneedles. And, you knew you won when you landed head first in poison oak, so you wouldn't have to go to school for a week because your eyes were swollen shut. My mother grew to love me more each day!
When I was 11, my parents divorced, and my mother and I moved inland to Walnut Creek where it was relatively flat with no pineneedles. I had to leave my tomboy habits behind. Darn! After high school, a year later I moved north to a small town called Chico to attend CSUC. It is a great town... essentially built around the University and agriculture - walnuts & almonds. It is bordered by the Sacamento River on the west, and at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains on the East.
I met my husband, Cal, at CSUC, and we were married a year later. He graduated in civil engineering, and then he was activated to duty in the Air Force shortly thereafter. Once he returned home, he went to work building the Oroville Dam. Then we started our family. When the kids were little we moved to a ranchette in the country, and raised every 4-H animal known to man including ponies & horses, etc. The tomboy was back in me again, and those were great times. I had as much fun as the kids. :-)
Cal then started his own engineering business when the Oroville Dam project was completed. We started out with our office in our home. With 3 children, that was a mistake! It was not uncommon to find kids coloring on engineering plans each morning. That was short lived, so the office moved to town.
From that time on, I split my time between home and the downtown office. I became the Office Manager, otherwise known by many close friends as the "Queen of Problem Solving." It was a great business, except for learning how to cope with bureaucracies and politics, that was for sure.
In the late 80's......it was time for COMPUTERIZATION!? I was adamently opposed to computerization, because I knew it was going to put the entire world out of business. (Funny how that has changed for alot of us :-) Then an amazing thing happened! I spent a week's vacation on a Yankee Schooner cruise off the coast of Maine, and had the absolute time of my life.....except for a "computer guru" shipmate who drove me crazy.....who by the end of the cruise, had me so excited to jump into computerization, I could hardly wait to get home. Strange, but true. Nobody was ready for the change in me, that's for sure! :-)
So, I spent a year implementing word processing, data base management, spreadsheets and all the boring stuff......and I felt pretty darned proud of myself!
Then, the 90's hit, and I found the Internet! Now the VISION was born! Well, almost! My journey led me to eat alot of humble pie first! I had this nagging fear of logging in.....! So, I just read about the Internet instead! I remember thinking a big black monster would bite me in that huge unknown black ocean, but I was still determined! So, I set out to master email! Now, you aren't going to believe this, but I was so scared of logging in, my business partners had to FAX me my emails! Yes, it is true! Yes, I am humble, and I still hold my sides laughing when I think about it.! Finally, my son tied me to the computer and made me take the leap. So, from total ignorance to addiction, here I am today, and I love it!
Once the vision of the Internet really sank in, I was off to higher places :-) We started our first network marketing business in the mid 90's, and finally closed our engineering business in 2000, and we haven't looked back since. We actually moved to a high mountain location on a lake to prove we could work anywhere!. It was the greatest feeling of freedom we have ever experienced, and we would still be there today if it weren't for the winter snows. We were at 4500 feet elevation, and trust me, when I say snow.........deep snow! So we wimped out and moved back to the valley!
So, there you have our story. Even with our humble Internet beginnings, we are now full-fledged Internet Marketers and loving the freedom and lifestyle. Our job now is to help and teach others to find the right businesses and tools that will secure their retirement for the long term! :-)
