An Insatiable Desire to Serve
Lisa M. Jones, of Glen Burnie, MD, plays many roles in her life. “I’m an African American woman, a single mother, a Christian and a cancer survivor to name a few,” says Lisa. “Many of these roles I was born into. But becoming a Primerica Representative was a role that I adopted later on in life. It’s allowed me to become a crusader for my community and build a business based upon freedom for families. That’s what lies at the very heart of Primerica.”
Growing up in inner city Baltimore, Lisa says she was a young girl when she realized the importance of a proper financial education. “The income level in my community was low. But once I learned the HOW MONEY WORKS™ Principles, I noticed a trend. The other financial services companies weren’t truly teaching these concepts. They failed to go above and beyond for their clients and many families were overlooked. But you can never underestimate the power of a good education. Education comes first, then comes the freedom to make your own choices.”
As a guest speaker for many organizations, Lisa often shares her journey with stage 4 cancer. It affected her ability to work for four and a half years, and when she finally returned, her self esteem had taken a hit. “I pushed through my insecurities and came back stronger than ever before. Today, I serve as a beacon of hope for my community. I want others to hear my story and know they can overcome life’s obstacles, too. There’s nothing like the power of the bounce back.”
She continues, “Helping my clients is priceless. All they’ve ever wanted is the truth. With Primerica, I’m able to educate first and implement second. My clients appreciate the knowledge I share and often express their gratitude for caring about their family’s welfare. Providing for my community is the most rewarding aspect of my life, which is something I’m able to do daily. I donate money to causes that I care about, act as a guest speaker, and have an insatiable desire to bless people with my walk, my talk and my giving.”
When asked how she’d describe Primerica in one word, Lisa says, “Unique. There’s no other company like Primerica. Many try to imitate it, but nothing will ever compare. What we have is incredibly special and the opportunity of a lifetime. I go to bed each night feeling honored and blessed to witness the greatness surrounding me.”
