\"Carl<\/a><\/p>\n

Carl Willis\u00a0is\u00a0the creator of\u00a0Create Your Blog Now<\/a>,\u00a0The Marketing Classroom<\/a>\u00a0and the author of\u00a0The Troubles Of A Righteous Man<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Lessons From The Storm<\/a>. \u00a0He is an industry leader and featured speaker in the internet marketing\/network marketing space. \u00a0He is also a featured contributor to\u00a0Me Inc. magazine.<\/p>\n

Carl\u00a0grew up in Wichita, Kansas and always had a love for entrepreneurship. After high school he\u00a0married his sweetheart and began a career in law enforcement, working as a police officer in Fort Worth, Texas and Dodge City, Kansas. During those years he\u00a0tinkered with several businesses on the side including a police equipment supply dealership, a professional recruiting service and a computer repair service.<\/p>\n

Carl\u00a0left law enforcement in the mid 90s and went into banking and investments. During that time he\u00a0also entered the ministry and began leading local churches. Eventually he\u00a0ended up opening his\u00a0own financial advisory firm and used that to support his\u00a0ministry work.<\/p>\n

In 2008 he\u00a0started Simplicity Church Network, a ministry that plants churches and Bible colleges around the world. His\u00a0ministry was designed to be funded by commerce; however, the reality of the financial advisory profession made it an unsuitable mechanism, so he\u00a0went in search of a solution. That solution led him\u00a0to something he\u00a0swore he\u00a0would never be a part of\u2026.network marketing.<\/p>\n

Carl\u00a0uses network marketing to not only fund his\u00a0ministry, but also to give income opportunities to people who are rebuilding their lives.<\/p>\n

Carl and his wife currently live in Wichita, KS and are the proud parents of 3 great children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
