A Tremendous Amount Of Love
Charlie “Tremendous” Jones began his career in insurance in his early 20’s. Within one year, he was awarded a Most Valuable Associate Award, and within ten years, he received the company’s highest management award. He later went on to start his own consulting business, 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.
The story doesn’t stop there. Charlie is also a self-proclaimed expert on marriage relationships. After marrying someone who is completely his opposite and sticking by her side for 60 years, Charlie has learned a thing or two about the difference between love and commitment. Women need men who are going to hold them close through good times and bad no matter what.
Charlie believes that it’s who you’ve met and what you’ve read that will make the difference in who you are today versus who you’ll be five years from now. We are the sum of our parts. We are what we know. We can only become what we’ve seen and been taught. That’s why Charlie encourages people to seek out people and books that share the same passions they do.
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.
Why is Charlie so thankful? He grew up in the 1930’s, a time when even the rich were poor. His parents sent him and his siblings to church (although they chose not to attend with the children), and so his faith in God sprang from the love he saw in his Sunday school teacher. In return, Charlie Jones now brings poor children to his estate home to entertain them with carnival rides and hot dogs.
Charlie’s love of God doesn’t take away his respect for people who worship other religious icons. He’s a very non-offensive person who never waters down his religious beliefs and expects others to hold true to theirs in his presence as well. Love is in the center of everyday life for Charlie Jones. Spreading love is what he does best.
