About Jonathan
Jonathan Williams was born in 1975 and raised in Sheffield, England. He is the youngest of five siblings born to parents who migrated from Jamaica in the early 1960s. His main occupation is as a consultant in Education, where he specialises in Behaviour. Over the past 18 years, Jonathan has develop a specialism in supporting young people aged between 11 to 19 who are at risk of underachieving and dis-engagement, working within both the public and the private sector.
Alongside his profession, Jonathan has spent many years engrossed in studies, from politics to economics, to globalisation, sociology to criminology and political theory. Jonathan describes himself as a lifelong learner and has been a student at the University of Sheffield since 2008 till present. He has a range of qualifications including a BA Hons degree in social and political studies from one of the leading universities in England for the social sciences, the University of Sheffield, where he is also at present engaged in the final half of completing a doctorate in education.
Alongside all of this, Jonathan has spent many years building multiple income streams from his home, where he has made effective use of his academic background, spending a number of years studying investment strategies in commodities, real estate and marketing. Jonathan has also developed both a practical and theoretical understanding of the multi-level network marketing industry. Putting his theoretical knowledge into practice, over the past 10 years Jonathan has been utilising various online and offline programmes to generate additional sources of income. During his time engaged in the network marketing industry, Jonathan has develop a sound understanding of the key principles within the MLM industry, which he credits to his experiences of both the high times and the low times.
To truly understand Jonathan’s career, it is also important to understand his overall journey to this point. Firstly each of Jonathan’s roles as an Education and Behaviour Specialist, as an entrepreneur and as an academic has not come via the traditional educational routes and have all evolve through interconnected experiences of engaging heavily in various activities. Jonathan believes that he owes a large part of his successes to the fact that his journey has been very much an unconventional one. For example, much of the success Jonathan has experienced working in supporting young people and their families within the areas of educational inclusion, achievement and underachievement, have evolved from his own experiences of underachievement within his early education, which was then followed by a brief period of social dis-affection. Jonathan attended comprehensive schools in England and throughout his time in comprehensive education Jonathan was unable to fulfil much of his potential, leaving school with no real qualifications. After leaving school Jonathan had a stint at college, but whilst there was totally disengaged and when he failed his college course he drifted into total dis-engagement with education and became a disaffected youth, spending much of his time associated with many other disaffected young people from across the city.
Luckily, despite his underachievement in school, Jonathan always possessed intrinsic motivation and as a teenager growing up he had a range of interests in the areas of sport and music. At the age of 13 Jonathan took up the martial Art of Tae Kwon Do, where he became a national champion and a member of the British Team. At the age of 19 he started boxing and spent 5 years as an Amateur Boxer. After leaving school and then falling out of college, it was his interest in music that got him regularly attending his local youth centre, The Hub. In 1993 Jonathan got involved in a three-year music programme at the centre called the RRAR Project (Rap and Ragga against Racism). Through the RRAR project Jonathan joined a local band where he instantly began playing an influential role. Eventually this role developed into management and Jonathan managed the group for a number of years.
The knowledge and experience that Jonathan obtained from both touring with the band and in band management, resulted in Jonathan establishing his own independent record label in 2001 Trackshicker Records, which was his very first business venture. Trackshicker Records ran as a social enterprise, supporting acts from the local communities and Jonathan eventually attracted funding from South Yorkshire Key Fund. Trackshicker Records enabled local bands to receive national and international distribution deals, along with mainstream press recognition. All these results ignited a multitude of other successes for Jonathan, such as receiving an award for his outstanding contribution to his local community from the Community Champions organisation, and featuring in the Billboard Book I Don’t Need A Record Deal by Daylle Deanna Schwartz, where Jonathan can be found within six chapters giving advice and sharing his experiences of successfully setting up his own independent record label and managing bands.
Many of the bands that Jonathan managed were made up of young people who came from poor local communities; some were experiencing their own disengagement with mainstream education and others was also experiencing social disaffection. It was during this time that a number of the local youth workers at the Hub identified many of the personal qualities and skills that Jonathan had working with other young people. One member of staff there encouraged Jonathan to enrol on a local youth work course. After months of persuasion Jonathan eventually did enrol onto the programme and it became the start of his career working with young people. His experiences of successfully working with groups of disengaged young people at his record label, enabled Jonathan to develop skills that were transferable. These same skills, along with a qualification in youth and community work, enabled Jonathan to obtain his first employment in 1999, working for the Black PALM mentoring project, supporting 13- to 19-year-olds from minority communities.
After three years working for Black PALM Mentoring Project, Jonathan then went to Sheffield Futures and Connexions, where he began as a personal advisor gaining experience in working with 13-19 year olds within all three settings of the organisation, the careers department as a careers advisor, schools and education as a school councillor and within local communities as a youth worker. In 2003 Jonathan was then transferred to another department, obtaining a role as a PAYP (Positive Activities for Young People) key worker for Sheffield Futures and Connexions, and working predominantly with disaffected boys.
In 2005, Jonathan joined the Sheffield City Council’s Multiple Heritage service where he worked alongside social services mentoring young people (aged 0-16), as well as delivering workshops to pupils in schools around race and identity.
In 2006, he began to work for the Sheffield City Council’s education department as an inclusion officer. Jonathan eventually led on the delivery of the inclusion project, working with young people whose behaviour would put them at risk of school exclusion. He also supported schools through shared teaching and staff training in order to build capacity, enhance inclusion and reduce exclusions amongst vulnerable groups.
It was during a time in this particular role that a desire was ignited within Jonathan to go to university, as the city council was implementing an overall organisational structure change. This change saw many people receive promotions and increases in pay, were others received either caps in both pay and promotion or cuts in pay and de-promotion. Jonathan saw how that, on paper, his lack of academic background hampered his chances of upward progression within the city council. In 2008 he applied to the University of Sheffield, and was accepted on a BA honours degree in Social and Political Studies part of the life-long learning sector as a mature student. After graduating Jonathan immediately enrol on the EDd Doctorate in Education programme at the same university where he has spent the last three years and is in the final phase of his doctorate in education. Jonathan eventually left the city council and moved on, setting up Tailored Intervention in 2009, which he currently runs independently working as an Education and Behaviour Specialist supporting both schools and colleges. Upon reflection, Jonathan now understands how his early experiences in education partly contributed to his experiences of disaffection after leaving school. However, this journey enabled him to develop a profound understanding of the many issues that disengaged young people face and to understand the social mechanisms, which lead to disaffection amongst teenagers. Jonathan has utilised this knowledge to great effect, in order to achieve successful results with a variety of young people that many institutions had difficulty engaging with.
Despite all his achievements after leaving school, Jonathan always questioned the level of freedom and true ownership that he had in his own life and the lives of those around him. Jonathan would always question the whole concept of having a job, recognising from his experiences over the years, that no matter how much he loved his job working with young people, he did not own his job, and a job can be taken away from you at any time, and given to someone else or be totally removed altogether and replaced by another service. Jonathan also questioned the time factor in any job, questioning how much freedom we truly have. In 2005, when Jonathan was first introduced to the MLM network marketing industry, he saw an opportunity of achieving that freedom and security that he was really looking for. Jonathan became actively engaged in the MLM industry, but it was only in 2008 when his first child was born that he began a mental conversion in viewing his activities within the MLM industry as a way of bettering that of his primary income he received from his role as a consultant in education.
Both Jonathan’s careers and personal life experiences have helped him develop the type of character one needs to become a success in most endeavors, but especially so for the MLM network marketing industry. His own journey has enabled him to have a sound knowledge and understanding into both the right character and the right skills needed in order to achieve your own financial goals.
