Rhonda K Smith

The Real Rhonda Smith

My name is Rhonda Smith and I’m CEO of RKS Enterprise.. I just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself..I hope after my introduction you will know a little bit about me and understand how my journey brought me to Internet Marketing..

I’ve been married for 23 years, I have three beautiful children who make life worth living. I have a 21 year old daughter – Shardai who is college basketball player stand out – I have 16 18 year old fraternal twins Robert who is a baseball standout and Rianna who is a creative genius and she also plays college basketball..

I’m so proud of all three of my kids because they’ve all found something that they are passionate about at an early age.

My husband Robert is the owner of his own Plumbing Organization RKS Plumbing LLC..After years of pushing him to go it on his own he stepped out on faith in 2007 to make it happen. It’s been the best ride of his life.

Our family loves all types of sporting events that we can share together and we all support each other.. While Robert and I support our kids sporting events..our kids support our bowling events.

Now I can’t leave out my precious TIA – that’s my pup..well she thinks she another one of the kids. She’s a lab/pitbull mix black/white with spotted feet..She is the apple of my eye and clings to me like a new born baby.

My Previous Career:

I was an insurance agent for most of my adult life and I can tell you I really enjoyed the opportunity to serve people that were in my community..I started with the organization right after I got married.. I just walked into the office and asked for a job.. I started as a secretary and worked my way up in the company.. After five years I was asked to move to Portland Oregon and start my own insurance agency.. If you can imagine moving to a city where you knew not a single sole and had no experience in selling insurance – it was quite a task.

I was up for the challenge.. Within my first year I had broken all sales records and won all sorts of trips and prizes.. I was even asked to become a mentor for new agents that were just starting out.. I even starred in company videos and made radio commercials for the organization..My specialty was in building relationships which attributed to my great success.

You see I never was a salesperson.. I never could cold call and I did very little advertising.. I built my business on referrals.. I met with people..I identified their needs and I gave them a solution.

After 10 years of service, I received a visit from the Regional Vice President and a surprise it was..It was November 15 2000 and my office was really busy.. my District manager accompanied him so I thought they were coming to present me with another award..

Much to my surprise, an award was not forthcoming..They actually came to my office to tell me that my contract would not be renewed in January and that I could either leave then with severance or leave in January with nothing.

So what do you think I did:

I left there quick fast and in a hurry and went out to get a job..That didn’t work out because it was so hard going back work  for someone when I was used to working for myself..I went from job to job and then one day I was introduced to the home business industry.

They made it seem so easy and of course I had no technical skills but I was determined to replace my income. I went from company to company until I ended up getting into Internet Marketing. That’s when I found my passion, but that wasn’t simple either.

Fast forward, I began to have some success but not where I want to be, I still consider myself a student because the Internet is always changing. The key is to always keep yourself up to date with what is going on and never give up.  So I live by the rules of Thomas Edison.

“Many of Life’s Failures are people who did not realize how  close they were to Success when they gave up!”
