ello, my name is Bill Good, and here is a little bit about myself:

     Sometime in late July or early August 1971, I took a girlfriend to an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles. Opera singers and wannabes would frequently come in and sing. On this night, a tenor got up and sang a Puccini aria the way I like them sung: with great passion.

     When he finished, I went over to his table, introduced myself, and we started talking. Very quickly, I realized he had something special. Call it a presence if you like. I wanted to know where he got it. So I asked him point blank, "What are you into? What are you doing?"

     He was somewhat taken aback with my line of questioning, but answered very slowly, "If you want to know, read Dianetics." I had no idea what it was. So I read it. I then went to a Scientology Center in Westwood, a suburb of Los Angeles, got some counselling (you may hear it referred to as auditing), and just based on my personal experience in the very first session, I knew that Hubbard had found the way out.

     I've been on the road ever since.

     ***

     I met my wife-to-be Joava about a year after getting involved in Scientology. I went to a Chick Correa (jazz piano great and long-time Scientologist) concert, saw a very pretty girl in a long-white dress, found out her name, asked her out and asked her to marry me that night. She said "Yes."

     On December 22, 1998, we will have been married 25 years. We have three children, Bret, Nicci and Jenny. Nicci has given us a wonderful grandson, Justin. All the kids are pursuing their Scientology studies.

     My wife Joava runs our travel agency, Sky High Travel. I manage our marketing company, Bill Good Marketing. We produce training seminars, computer programs and marketing systems designed primarily to assist stockbrokers and financial planners "DOUBLE THEIR BUSINESS OR WORK HALF AS MUCH."

     If you happen to know a stockbroker or financial planner, ask, "Have you ever heard of Bill Good?" The answer will be "Yes."

     The reason I'm so confident of that is that I have written a monthly column in the major trade magazine in the industry since 1984. I've published a book on sales prospecting which has sold extremely well (Prospecting Your Way to Sales Success), and I do about 90,000 pieces of direct mail every month to brokers and planners. They'll know my reputation.
