With the warm climate, abundance of places for frolic and fun, five sisters, and an unending supply of tropical fruits, game birds and river fish, Lloyd completed his early education and, with the help of a scholarship, Engineering College, without even knowing that his family was poor.
After a Mechanical Engineering and Life Insurance career, Lloyd moved his family away from the political uncertainties of the time, to Canada, where he spent two decades with a transit company. Lloyd is twice estranged and has several children. He became awakened to the fact that his job was not going to bring financial security; neither would the service business he operated until his decision to fold due to the prevailing business environment.
Lloyd wanted time and financial freedom and he determined that Network Marketing, called the “Business of the 21st Century” by Robert Kiyosaki, offered the best scope for these. This was also the perfect vehicle to make a difference in other peoples’ lives as he could build, mentor, coach and help a team of like-minded people use their time and energy to better advantage than they could with their jobs; all this from their homes. He was also now able to spend more time on his passion…writing. He had always to publish his writing so that he could share his thoughts with the world. The collection of poems he had been storing over the years was augmented by the prolific writing in 2011 and 2012.
Encouraged by friends to publish he finally took the plunge when one of his friends emailed me the details of Xlibris. The rest, as they say, is history.
Lloyd has other writing projects on which he is currently working. Another anthology follows as well as his first full novel.view less
