Colin Jones’s Summary

Apple Bank (NYC) is where I started my Corporate life but that interest changed to Health so I then worked at Maimonides Medical Center for several years. Initially, I was very interested in Cardiothoracic PA program. Attending college to aquire the prerequisites for entry into PA school changed my mind, I got turned off by the excessive use (and abuse) of medications today especially with the many damaging side effects.
I began getting interested in computers and the IT field, Inspired by the owner of Eastern Microsystems Inc. I successfully built my own first computer. I was hooked, I then attended several courses, A+, Net+, then came the Microsoft MCSE then on to the Cisco CCNA, because of my great interest, I was able to complete all these in relatively short time. I was very satisfied with my achievements but I needed more, seems that something was still missing. I was busy everyday but had little to show for it.
Finally, I was introduced to Usana, and after a few months everything just seemed to fit into place and after a few years of working on myself and the business I was able to retire at the age of 41.
A lover of Health & Wellness & the IT field. I live my life to its fullest in health and happiness!
I am a student of Klemmer & Associates, Jim Rohn, Earl Nightingale, Dennis Waitley, Napoleon Hill, Robert Kiyosaki; I am also a student of life.
Usana has changed my life in many ways, the personal development is incredible. This is personal development with a weekly paycheck. In a few years I was able to build a global business spanning many countries, I am so blessed! and now its time to give back.
I now mentor others to live this same extraordinary life. If you are interested in having, doing, giving, becoming more than what you have, do, give or became, I would be happy to mentor you to the success levels you deserve, especially in this recessive time.
Life can be wonderful!...Life is Wonderful!

Maimonides Medical Center

September 1990 — December 2006 (16 years 4 months)

Worked there for over 16 years, from the Dept. of Nursing to the Dept. of Finance, had an excellent manager, very fair; So excellent, that I promised never to have another boss, ever again! And I have kept that promise.
I also had my share of "hill & valley" experiences there and learned a lot about people, how they think & relate, and what drives an individual to make the choices they do.
I also learnerd that a job will never give me freedom, and I had an incredible need to be totally free! so I searched until I found a way to realize that Total Freedom. Now...I am totally free realizing that I received this freedom by helping others gain this same freedom...A true win-win situation.
