Here's Jill's Bio:

Thank you my Adland Friends,

 

I am truly blessed and I thank you all for this very privileged honor.

 

My husband, Cal and I are both dedicated Adlandpro members.  He loves to read, and I love to post!   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 to 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 married beneath her "Bostonian expectations." so my parents promptly 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 lives on the East Coast with all it's 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 on cardboard boxes "riding the pineneedles."  We knew we won when we landed head first in poison oak....that meant we wouldn't have to go to school for a week because our eyes were swollen shut.  My mother grew to love me more each day....she tried to give me away, but it didn't work!  :-)

 

At 11, my parents divorced, and my mother and I moved inland to Walnut Creek where it was hot and 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 California State University, Chico (CSUC).  It is a great town..... predominately a University and Agricultural hub!  Walnuts & almonds are the primary crops.  Chico 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 very small. we moved to a ranchette in the country.  We raised every 4-H animal known to mankind including ponies & horses, etc.  The tomboy was back in me again, and those were golden years.  I had as much fun as the kids.   :-)

 

Then, Cal 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 nightmare!  It was not uncommon to find kids coloring on engineering plans in the morning.  The home office was short lived, and 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."  I soon learned to cope with contractors, realtors, attorneys, and bureaucrats who WANT IT NOW no matter what.  The definition of STRESS could never be described in words.  (Not to mention mainstream liability  :-)

 

Then.......In the late 80's......it was time for COMPUTERIZATION!?   My ignorance still amazes me!  I was so adamently opposed to computerization, you wouldn't believe it!   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 whom I know God sent there to change my life.....by the end of the cruise, he had me totally 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......but, I felt pretty darned proud of myself!

 

Then, the 90's hit, and I FOUND the INTERNET!  Woohoo!  Now the real VISION was born.......I was in LOVE with the whole planet!  Well, almost!  My journey led me to eat alot of humble pie at first!  I had this nagging fear of logging on.....!  So, I just read about the Internet instead!  I remember thinking a BIG BLACK MONSTER would eat me alive if I logged in, but I was still determined to learn!  So, I set out to master email!   I was so scared of logging on, my business partners had to FAX me their emails!  Yes, it is TRUE!  Yes, I AM VERY HUMBLE, and I frequently 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 winters.  We were at 4500 feet elevation, and trust me, when I say snow.........very very 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 that will insure their retirement for the long term!  :-)
