Interests

Interests:
Fishing is tops on the list. I enjoy making new fishing buddies everywhere...it seems to me that in the greater fishing community, you rarely meet a stranger and nearly everyone will give you tips on local conditions. The best trip I have taken was to Belize,CA where the fishing is phenomenal. You can dive the reefs and fish the back lagoons or dive for lobster. I remember the first time I went down in the 60s the Queen Conk (beautiful pink spiral shells) were so plentiful you couldn't walk in the Eel Grass without hurting your feet. Today, you can rent a nice apt for $300 a month and many ex-pats live down there on their social security alone. Very laid back and no shopping malls so my wife will visit but not stay. I am also a fan of Cowboy Shooting Society and have always loved the idea of being a fast draw expert...got close in my early years when a few of my friends and I would set up targets..bottles,cans, rocks, anything really and then shoot up 4 or 5 boxes of 22 caliber shells a day. I even got where I could shoot a few out of the air!

Activities:
My activities are some what limited these days due to the inevitable aging process. I have recently moved to Colorado and I have walked the Cherry Creek Canyon and spent time taking photographs. That creek is about a foot wide and back in the 30s, there was such a torrential rain that lasted for several days that it actually flooded Denver with great devastation. Today it just gurgles along making great habitat in the canyon for deer,bobcat,turkey,and an occasional mountain lion. I also visited the Air Force Academy with my grandsons and took a drive up Pike's Peak. Getting used to the altitude change is taking a while, less oxygen at 6400' elevation.

Favorite Authors:
Just about anyone who writes about espionage or future flight. Most of my reading time is spent with the greatest book of all, The Holy Bible. I learned that reading and re-reading is the best way to figure out how we are supposed to live with each other...Jesus makes it very clear when we allow Him to lead and we follow.

Favorite Quotes:
"Talk low and talk slow and don't say too much" is a quote from John Wayne which when you consider the wisdom in the words, can be inspiring. Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ,nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

About Me

My life started out rather simple and ordinary like most people. I was born shortly after the start of WWII. My father, who is still doing very well at the age of 94, was a pilot who flew in the bomber wing that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. Once he left the service, we moved to a small town named Wilson, Arkansas, a town of about 18,000 population 60 miles south of Memphis, TN. where I grew up and graduated from high school. We were your average middle class family and my Mother and Father always provided well for us with hard work and long hours. Something they taught me well.

Growing up, I loved sports...football, baseball, and basketball but after the age of 16 my days were spent either in school or working for my Dad. No chance for me to be a pro...too slow!!The things available to kids today were future dreams in the minds of those who could think that far ahead, so I worked hard everyday right up until I graduated from high school hoping to get the things that mattered most at that time..my first car! After that summer I went to a great school, the University of Mississippi....Ole Miss...the same school that produced two Miss Americas back to back in the sixties and during that same time we (the guys)were blessed to have an additional 4 "State Misses" attending school.

After graduating from grad school,the real world showed up and I had little idea of what I was going to do. As a recent design major graduate, I worked for a very short while in design and advertising but that was not for me so I moved around and got a job selling retail furnitue. That was a good thing because it gave me exposure to my current wife of 27yrs and some sales reps who were making really good money. I eventually got a position with a major manufacturer as a rep and my life really changed...I found out I could sell!

In my early forties I married my wife Shirley and together we purchased the franchise rights in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area for a company called Fantastic Sams Family Haircutting. We had great success in that industry for a number of years and then sold our business and moved to Boca Raton,Florida where I made my first attempt at network marketing...we had more success and we both became National Marketing Directors for a water filter mfg company named Nation Safety Associates.

After several years of tremendous growth and success at that, I felt I could manufacture a better filter just and with two friends started a company called International Environmental Technologies, which we sold out after two years because we got an offer we couldn't refuse.

At that point I simply decided to slow down a bit and mostly did sales consulting and continued, over the years, to make a very good living in telecommunications and the gas and oil industry as a sales consultant.

I then began to look at other MLM companies and that brought me, after several thousands of wasted dollars, to my current affiliation with a company that is giving me the opportunity to recoup some tremendous losses that my family,like so many others,experienced when the economy began it's nose dive back in 07. The biz op I'm currently involved in is very low cost to enter,we have a single product that doesn't require stocking or monthly purchasing or monthly fees and has the marketing tools to allow me to generate the kind of income I was once accustomed to.

While I am not an internet marketing guru, I have the skills and will rapidly gain the knowledge to get to the top again.

As a top sales leader and past trainer for four national corporations, I am quickly establishing myself with my company and my driving belief is that those who may join me must know that I will do everything I can to ensure their success.

There are 1000s upon 1000s of people who need help in our great country and by giving first and making sure I'm doing all I can to help those who want to truly help themselves to become successful, together we will prosper!

Best regards,

Frank McDonald
