I’m just an old country boy from Oklahoma, USA. I’ve been married to the same beautiful woman, Mary, for more than 50 years now. We’ve been blessed with 2 loving children, Shannon and Heather, along with 5 wonderful grandchildren.<\/p>\n
I’ve worked in direct sales for over 40 years. I’ve had a lot of success as well as a lot of failures. I eventually entered into the network marketing side of direct sales because of a severe spinal condition that wouldn’t allow me to work a conventional job anymore. In the beginning, I was the biggest failure ever in network marketing. After going through all the learning curves and working on myself to get the right perception of this industry, I would have to say that this has been the greatest career that I could have ever chosen.<\/p>\n
It has allowed me to raise my family and to have more of the luxuries in life than I deserve. It always made my wife and I feel good to have something to share with others. I’ve become a Billion-dollar worldwide sales producer with organizations in more than 70 countries. I could never have done this myself. Success in life is not about ME, it’s about WE.<\/p>\n
I don’t consider myself an author, but I do have a lot of experience to share that will benefit anyone in life. Over the years I have had many requests to put into writing what I was doing to build such large organizations. As I became more and more appreciative of this industry and what it provided for my family, I felt an obligation to give back to others what I’ve learned from my experience.<\/p>\n
I am\u00a0working on books that cover many different subjects. It’s my hope that they will benefit people worldwide that are struggling like I did to build a business from home.<\/p>\n
Before I entered network marketing, I used to play the fiddle in a country band. And years ago, there was a singer named Tommy Duncan, who wrote a song entitled “Just a Plain Old Country Boy.” I’d like to share the lyrics of that song with you because I always felt these words described me perfectly.<\/p>\n
Ain’t got much learnin’ I ain’t a yearnin’<\/em> This may sound funny the skies would all be sunny<\/em> Oh I want to go back down among the sleepy pines<\/em><\/p>\n That’s where I’ll find that old sweetheart of mine<\/em> Oh I want to go back down among the sleepy pines<\/em> Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I wish you the very best in all that you do.<\/p>\n Ken Roland<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/kenroland.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/KenMary.png” alt=”Ken & Mary Roland” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”fade_in” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”1px” border_style=”solid” disabled=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section admin_label=”section” background_image=”http:\/\/kenroland.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/about_hdr_bg.png” transparent_background=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” padding_mobile=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”off” custom_width_px=”1080px” custom_width_percent=”80%” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off” fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” disabled=”off”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” make_fullwidth=”on” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”off” custom_width_px=”1080px” custom_width_percent=”80%” use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”0″ custom_padding=”50px|0px|0px|0px” padding_mobile=”off” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.3)” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”on” parallax_method=”on” make_equal=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”on” parallax_2=”off” parallax_method_2=”on” parallax_3=”off” parallax_method_3=”on” parallax_4=”off” parallax_method_4=”on” disabled=”off”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/kenroland.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Ken_400h.png” alt=”Ken Roland” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” sticky=”on” […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-54","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P84sM8-S","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kenroland.com\/web\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/54","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kenroland.com\/web\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kenroland.com\/web\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kenroland.com\/web\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kenroland.com\/web\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54"}],"version-history":[{"count":56,"href":"http:\/\/kenroland.com\/web\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/54\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28906,"href":"http:\/\/kenroland.com\/web\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/54\/revisions\/28906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kenroland.com\/web\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\n For the bright lights that shine upon Broadway<\/em>
\n In my heart there’s a burnin’ for the old home I’m yearnin’<\/em>
\n I guess I’m just a plain old country boy<\/em><\/p>\n
\n If I was doing chores back on the farm<\/em>
\n Though we ain’t got lots of money got bees to make our honey<\/em>
\n I guess I’m just a plain old country boy<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Each day I’m scheming each night I’m dreaming<\/em>
\n Bout a place where cloths don’t make the man<\/em>
\n Soon my pappy I’ll be seeing hear the neighbors sayin’ we’un<\/em>
\n I’ll always be a plain old country boy<\/em><\/p>\n
\n That’s where I’ll find that old sweetheart of mine<\/em>
\n Each day I’m scheming each night I’m dreaming<\/em>
