Love Is Tremendous

Charlie “Tremendous” Jones was in his early 20’s when his insurance career began. It took only one year to become the company’s Most Valuable Associate, and only ten years to receive the company’s highest management award. After such success, Charlie decided to start a consulting company, Life Management Services.
Charlie Jones isn’t only an insurance salesman. He is the author of nine books, including “Life Is Tremendous”, and he is one of the world’s top speakers in leadership and motivation. Charlie has a passion for helping others. He often invites children to his home to hand out gifts as if he were some sort of Santa.
As if that weren’t enough, Charlie Jones is also somewhat of an expert on marriage. He believes the key to a healthy marriage is commitment, not love. A spouse needs someone who is willing to stick with it through the long haul even when the going gets tough. Someone who marries only for love is in for a rude awakening.
What makes you different from the person you’ll be in five years, according to Charlie Jones, is the books you’ve read and the people you’ve met. Each of us is nothing more than what our experiences have taught us to be. The more you learn, the more you can become. Charlie encourages people to read just as he has always done.
So, what makes Charlie Jones a “Tremendous” Charlie Jones? It’s a nickname that embarrasses him, actually. When someone buys a new car or has a new baby, the first word out of Charlie’s mouth is, “Tremendous!” People started calling him Tremendous and the name stuck.
Charlie feels that the name Tremendous sounds like the name of a wrestling star or football legend. He’d rather be referred to as “Learning Jones” or “Thankful Jones”. He has a sincere heart, is thankful to God for every one of life’s blessings and challenges, and he truly enjoys helping others. His goal in life is to pass on that passion to others.
Charlie Jones grew up in the 1930’s, a time when everyone was poor. Although they didn’t attend any religious services themselves, Charlie’s parents always sent him and his siblings to church alone. It was through a dedicated Bible class teacher that Charlie’s devout faith in God was born. In turn, Charlie shows his godly love to poor children by inviting them to is estate home, complete with hot dogs, popcorn, Christmas presents (year round) and an amusement park.
Charlie never waters down his faith in God, but he doesn’t expect people of other religions to do so either. He respects everyone’s right and duty to believe what they feel is right. He’s a non-judgmental person, and he loves people of all backgrounds and faiths. Love is at the heart of everything he does.
