Started another leather business in 1985 and could not sell any of the 800 plus accounts for 5 years that I had sold with the other leather company I had just sold the year before.So it was truely like starting over from scratch. Sold it in 1998
I've done a little network marketing off & on some Ok ..some not.
On August 25, 2005, Thanks to my friend, David Rubright I found the last business I'm ever going to do. A company called Jerky Direct now J D Premium Products.

Donna Soffen or better known as GoGoJerky!!
I was born in Savannah GA Dec 2, ‘57 the oldest of 5 kids. I’ve been in the St Louis Metro East Area on the IL side since '91 and just love it here! I have 4 grown boys & a 6 yr old grandson who has been a jerky store owner for over a year now!!
I’ve been with JD since Dec 15th ‘05 when my sponsor introduced me to JD & asked me to just check it out!! I really started "working" the business late Jan ‘06 after meeting with Jay Hebdon at a training meeting being held in my area. After that meeting there has been no slowing me down!! I won the Salmon River Trip last year & had the time of my life. I was bound & determined to win it again this year & with my teams help – here I am!! I am so excited! I can’t wait to meet all the new winners this year!!
I Love everything about my JD Premium Products Business!! I first fell in love with the Organic Line because I had finally found a jerky that I could actually eat without any reactions!! Now my favorite is the Original Turkey Jerky! Oh, & we can’t forget the amazing Signature Series Jerky & the Apple Cinnamon Fruit Stixs (my favorite now!)
I love the supplements & what they have done for me!! And now, oh my goodness the Toxic Free Skin care line …. there are just not enough words to describe this line of awesome products!!
I have an amazing downline & I love helping them & everyone else learn about this business! I have finally found what I have been looking for all these years! Now when people ask me what I do for a living I can hold my head up high & I am proud to say; "I have my own JD Premium Products Business – let me show you how you can have your own!!"
Christina Wiley
Vacaville, CA
Distributor since 5/15/06
Most bios are written in third person format even if the person of interest is writing their own bio. I decided not to do that this time. I’m gonna write as if I were talking to you in person. I hope that’s alright. ☺
In case you couldn’t tell, my name is Christina. I live in Northern California in the city of Vacaville which is half way between Sacramento and San Francisco. I’ve only lived in Vacaville for a couple of years. I actually grew up the next county over (Yolo County) in the teeny tiny town of Madison. Population: 252. It’s pretty much four square blocks of homes, a corner gas station and a post office. That’s where I grew up with my parents and sister and it was great. For time’s sake I’ll fast forward a couple of decades now…
Prior to getting started in business for myself I was in law enforcement until I was injured on the job and forced into medical retirement at the age of 33. My income was cut in half and I had a huge amount of debt. I turned to network marketing as a means to supplement my income. I was also retrained for web site design through workers comp. I also have a design business I work from home.
Since I joined our company, got on the Enhanced Plan and plugged into the weekly training and events I’ve enjoyed better health and less back pain, have more peace in my life and have paid off a substantial amount of debt. In fact, last month I paid off my car. For the first time in my life I’m driving something I fully own and it feels great!
I am truly thankful that I found JD Premium Products in 2005 and started my JD biz in 2006. My JD biz hasn’t just made a difference in my pocketbook, but also in my leadership and training skills (I love training!) as well as my circle of friends. I have met some amazing people because of my business and made some wonderful friends. I have an incredible team full of individuals I admire and respect.
This business is so simple, but it still takes work. The difference between JD and other companies is that the work is actually fun! I enjoy every minute whether I’m preparing a newsletter, calling prospects, leading training or simply answering questions. I firmly believe that if you set a goal in your JD biz and work purposefully toward it you will reach it. Of course you already know that and that’s why you’re reading this bio in the first place. ☺ A huge Congratulations to you and I can’t wait to meet you in Idaho Falls!!

In Sept. of 2004, I enrolled in the Network Marketing program offered by Jerky Direct. That has been a lot of fun. The Marketing program that is available to everyone is tremendous. Unfortunately only a few see and understand the potential offered.
