1. BUSINESS BUILDING SEMINAR BY EXECUTIVE DIAMOND COUNCIL MEMBER ROCKY COVINGTON "When I was a bank vice president, I managed lots of money, but most of it belonged to other people. My time wasn’t my own, either. Today, I set my own schedule and enjoy a lifestyle that was once only a dream." When he turned 30, Rocky began to look back at his years of working at the bank and partying with his friends, and realized he felt little joy in his accomplishments. Even though his offices got bigger with every promotion, he felt the walls were closing in on him. Rocky was introduced to the business in 1977 by an old high school friend. He gave in to his friend’s barrage of phone calls because, "He was more persistent than I was stubborn," laughs Rocky. Rocky attributes his success to a bulldog mentality. "Bulldogs don’t let go of something once they get their teeth into it," states Rocky. "The same goes for this business. Once you choose to pursue it, you have to go at it like a bulldog." Thanks to this business today, Rocky calls Myrtle Beach, South Carolina home. "I always wanted a home at the beach," smiles Rocky. "My dad brought me here when I was a kid, and I swore I’d live here one day." Rocky also enjoys the beaches in places like Hawaii, Bermuda, Grand Cayman Islands, Virgin Islands, and the Caribbean. But, what he enjoys most is "being able to help others achieve their goals and dreams in life."
