All About Me

 Hello there everyone,

My name is Ken Almendinger, I live in Burlington , Iowa. It is located right along the west side of the Great Mississippi River and the New Great River Bridge, connecting Iowa to Illinois.

I am 65 and single (I just threw that in).  I was blessed with four loving children, one ornery boy and 3 beautiful girls. They are on their own now and I am very proud of each one of them. They all blessed me with eight grand-children and one great grand child and I don't spoil any of them, much! :)

I am retired from Wonder Bread/Hostess Cake, where I was employed as a route salesman for 26 years. This was quite an experience, giving me the opportunity to make lot's of new friends and meeting many others.

I do some catfishing on the Mississippi, at different times of the year.  I love to go Fly Fishing for Trout mostly, usually in Southern Missouri. My father and my dad's brother got me into the sport and I just love it.  I love Baseball (Chicago Cubs) and Football (Chicago Bears).  I enjoy bowling , shooting pool, and going to softball games and to our home town baseball team games, the Burlington Bee's.

I enjoy my retirement as much every day as I possibly can.  Doing what I want and when I want to do it.  I just enjoy life, travel a little, meet new people and go visit near-by relatives and friends.  Put it all in a nut shell, I enjoy life as much as I possibly can and do it day by day. 

 I am a  now a  Membership Coordinator in the DHS Club. .Let me tell you a little story with a very happy ending, and also how I became involved in the business I a in now.

 

Of course, enjoying life takes money, more than what I have right now, for my liking, but let me share what came into my life in September 2006.

 

I became involved in the DHS Club after some real bad experiences with four MLM companies.  They all promised me the world and all the help that I would need to sell their products and make more money than I could imagine. You know what, I never received the world, I never made any money and I never received any help from any of them.  As a matter of fact, they all took me for a large amount just to join.  Then I had to pay a large amount for what they called starter kits.  I had to have a standing order each month and it could go up but not down, in order to qualify for any income that month.  Guess what, I never did make it on the orders, all the purchases just kept piling up to where I never needed anything and believe it or not, I never made any income either.  They also expected me to get at least six member to join just like I did and teach them to do the same. One of them, not mentioning any names, set us up with audio cassettes that the upline made to further our on going training.  The only thing the tapes did was to fill their pockets with a lot of money each week.  Best of all, two of the MLM companies, I am not mentioning any names, but guessing is allowed, I am still trying to get money out of, after they both went ahead and charged product and advertising to my credit card, that I told them I never wanted.  One of the MLM Companies has an upline leader that blocks my E-mails now so I can't get in touch with her about it. Boy, oh boy, what some people won't do to make a living!  After 1-2-3-4, you probably think I should have learned my lesson.  Well I did, and I learned it the hard way, but I hope this has opened some eyes to anyone starting an MLM business; I don't care what they tell you, they are going to get you in the end.

 

I was checking my E-mail and one came up saying," Free Membership allows you to shop and earn cash back rewards", I thought no one gives free things any more, what's the gimmick!! 

 

Then a couple days later one came "How would you like to earn while learning and do it all from home?”  Oh boy, and deleted it.

 

Then one came and it said, "Would you like build a good residual income with little cost?" I thought to myself, here's another one!

 

Then one day I came home and was checking my answering machine: I received a message that said, “Ken, this is Scott Cunningham of the “BHS” Club, just checking to see if you have been getting my E-mails?” I thought I don't know anyone in that Club and erased it.

 

The next day I received a message saying the very same thing, I thought the Club probably wants a donation of some kind, and are being pretty persistent at it.

 

A day or so later, I was reading my E-mails and came across one mentioning a DHS Club in the subject box, I was just looking at it and the phone rang. I answered it and the man said I am Scott Cunningham of the DHS Club, I said hello and asked him if he had left me messages the last few days.  He told me he had and I apologized, I thought it said the "BHS" CLUB; I am a little weak on the hearing.  He then proceeded to tell me a little about the free membership and then I put two and two together.  They had been sending those e-mails.  We talked a short time and I mentioned that I was just looking at the subject line of the E-mail you must have sent today.  He advised me to read it and check it out, see what I thought and get back to him.  I said that I would look it over.

 

I read into the email and clicked on a link that led me straight to what was called a VIP sign up. They were offering me a free CLUBBUCKS Membership to shop and get cash-back rewards points on all online purchases that I made at what they called the CLUBSHOP Mall, with over 800 online stores all in one convenient location.  Then I proceeded to check out the VIP part. They were offering me a Residual Income Opportunity at the price of $49.95, the initial fee to join, with a 30 day money back guarantee, if I was not satisfied.  I had never before been offered something like that, to start a new Home Based Business.  I could not believe what I just read.  All the money that I had spent and wasted on those blessed MLM company's.  I read further in and they had a 2 for $25 program.  That was, if I joined and sponsored two VIP's of my own, in two separate lines that my $25 would stop and it would then come out of my commission checks. I have had enough experience to know that this was just what I was looking for and wasted no time. I joined right into the VIP category. They also mentioned a 10 step E-Business Institute Training Course that was offered as part of the ClubAdvantage Subscription, (VIP).

 

After I joined, the first day I received an E-mail from Dick Burke, the President of the DHS Club, welcoming me to the club. He then told me a little of what it was about and what a great opportunity I had ahead of me.  He said that we work as a team and everyone helps anyone that needs it and when the need it, that is what makes the DHS Club the Worlds Greatest Income Opportunity and a better step into the future.

 

The next day I received an E-mail from my Marketing Director, welcoming me also.  Great two welcomes, I am not used to this kind of treatment just joining a new business.  You probably can't guess who my Marketing Director is.  Well I will tell you anyway, my Marketing Director is the very same person that called me at home.

 

This has turned out to be a great experience.  He told me some of the tools that I could get.  One was "Skype" a system that you can talk to anyone any time of the day or night all around the world, for free.  He also told me about PalTalk, it communicates the same way, except it is used mostly for training and weekly talks from Dick Burke on just what is going on and changing.  I started my 10 step E-Business Institute Training Course right away.  While I was doing this they were adding people under me to build the growth of my line and get my business up and growing.  The upline will continue to do this up until I become a Builder Team Coach.

 

My coach and I have talked a great deal in E-mails, on Skype, or PalTalk. Helping me all the way, showing me different aspects of the business: How to set up my own web page and also my own web site, the right way to set up E-mails, how to advertise, how to send E-mails. He is a great guy, and gives me, and gets me, all the help I need to succeed in my business. I have progressed through the training to Trainee I, Trainee II, Trainee III, Builder Intern, and now I am a Builder Team Coach. I can now take over all the duties of running my business and will be able to take care of all members in my network with confidence.  I love this business, the people that I work with and usually I never see.  But, I do get to talk to them off and on through the week. We now have a team live conference room, in there you can get the necessary information on what the club is all about and where you would want to go. You can join FREE and continue shopping and earn Cash Back Rewards on all your purchases online or offline, or you can up grade to a VIP ( vested income partner ) like myself and enjoy building your own business, the choice is yours. You get the opportunity of going to business  conferences, then you meet a whole lot of people and they are no different than you and me. Now this is what I call a happy ending, but the only thing is, it has not ended.  It is just getting started and I am very excited about the whole thing!!


 So....

I encourage you to get your free membership and change your perception of what lies ahead in your future. J
