Here is LEON'S bio;

Hi Friends,

I want to thank Marilyn and the Gang for selecting me for this wonderful exposure at AdlandPro.  I have been around for a while, but I have been taken away by my efforts elsewhere.  I do read many of the threads that pique my interests, but I don't spend a lot of time posting like I used to.  In fact, I have had such a dismal response to the forums that I have created that I even stopped doing that (temporarily that is).

This seems a bit strange to me in that I don't like to talk about myself very much. I have heard it said, "If you don't toot your own horn then it will never get tooted."  Well then listen to the song my horn will lend to your ears....

Born November 22, 1950 in a small northern Oklahoma town called Hominy.  I grew up in Muskogee, Oklahoma... and yes, I hated that song when Merle Haggard sang it in 1969... the year I graduated from high school.  Nevertheless, "I am Proud to be an Okie from Muskogee".  Uprooted through my life experiences and am now living in Lebanon, Tennessee... a small burg just east of Nashville.  I am now a Country Music fan unlike my earlier years in Muskogee.  

After proudly serving my country in the very unpopular police action in South Vietnam, I was released from the U.S. Army with an honorable discharge and sought employment in Georgia where I married a Georgia Peach.  I found a fairly good J.O.B. and continued with it until... well just keep reading below about what I have to say about myself and what is going on in my life today...

I don't consider myself an "online" expert. My expertise lies on the nation's railroads. You see, I am involved with enforcing railroad safety laws as they apply to railroad signaling (train control and highway-rail crossing signals). Before my J.O.B. as a Federal Government employee, I worked for one of the safest and most efficient railroads in the country. It was all I knew and I thought there was no way to make a living other than to live the life I had grown accustomed to.  I was locked in to that work-a-day life and I would be bound to it by my debts.  But, I found a way out of it because I got so totally frustrated with the constant, mundane work and being at-work all the time. Finally, in 1995, I quit my job as a railroad ignalman.

I went to work for an aluminum extrusion company in their maintenance department. I liked the work and was doing okay financially until the orders dropped off and they couldn't afford to keep a second shift working... OOPS! A new chapter in my life was about to be written, again.  At that time, I went to work at a rug mill owned by a Belgian company in Georgia where I did minor maintenance duties. I realized that the income I would bring home would not be enough to sustain a family of five so I applied for a job at the Federal Government.  As I waited for the Government to come across with a job, I continued to hope for something better to appear.  Lo and behold, the rug mill job lasted about 16 months.  Spring of 1997 brought a fresh start with my current J.O.B.  So, I am now a bit more happy and not so worried with the finances.

Over the last 30-35 years, I have been involved with several extra income generation programs.  I tried different MLM organizations and I never was successful with any of them.  I found that the concept "just get 2" was the most difficult thing I had ever tried to do.  I still am drawn to that concept because it is a very good one. I found myself trying to "just get 2" over and over with the same results.  Many people say, "That is the definition of insanity." ... well, call me insane then!  I like to accomplish what I set out to do and this one thing has made me so "driven" that I will not let it beat me.  I am trying through many avenues to learn all I can to make "just get 2" work in my life.  I have set my mind to do whatever it takes to make it work too!  Life without challenges would be very dull, don't you think?

So, what is it that has made me consider myself so "driven"?  I cannot put a finger on it completely, but I have searched my soul and have come up with at least two things that I feel have caused me a lot of difficulty.  One is that I have never been associated with people very much... not very many opportunities to "network" with people in my daily routine in the past or present.  And two, is that I cannot lie to people to get them to "join" me in a business.  I cannot tell somebody how good something is if it isn't doing anything for me at the time they ask.  Whenever I've started with a new program, I have a tremendous desire to make it work, yet, I have found these humongous hurdles right in front of me that I could not seem to climb over.  I have great faith in the organization that I am working with, however, I am totally blown away by the fact that I haven't had a success story to tell to people. I won't "make something up" so that has been my demise.  I have to deal with facts and I will only give the facts when I talk to people about my program.  So, as you can probably detect, "just get 2" is still the hardest thing I have ever tried to do.  

I can now say, for once in my life of 56 years, that I have succeeded in something having to do with a matrix.  That one program has ended my search for financial independence forever.  It will do the same thing for others who take part as well.  So, what is that wonderful program?  It is a group of people really.  It isn't a company or business that most people are used to seeing.  But the fantastic thing is this... once your team is built, you never have to build it again.  Nobody ever has to quit!  You know how big of a drag it is paying monthly for something and not seeing any results.  People get frustrated and decide not to continue to pay out anymore and just quit.  People do not have to quit because we have a PLAN that works!    

There is a Team Builders Group within this group of people and we go to work together as a team to help build the team of all who want to take part with us in the Team Builders Group. This builds the new member's downline and ours as well. There is never any new expenses if the plan is followed and it offers  lifelong, willable wealth.  If you have a desire to have us help you with your downline and build a financial future together, I encourage you to visit my page at Plan4Power.  

I am having great success with this and now it is a lot of fun working for a change.  When you see something happening then it changes your perspective.  I am now a changed man!

Again, thank you for featuring me as one of your rising stars.  It is humbling to think others see you differently than you see yourself.  This is very uplifting and I am eternally grateful for all of the positive people who participate in this forum, and all of the others, at AdlandPro.

May the Lord bless and keep you.  May He make His face to shine down upon you and give you His Peace. - AMEN

Peace to you and yours,
Leon Horton
