This web site is funded from my hip pocket by earned advisory fees and sales of educational business books and publications I have authored since 1979 (i.e. by John C. Randall ) at RGIofVa.com. Buying these valuable "real-world based" publications is a fully-deductible business expense, not a charitable item. Publications from the Randall Group, Inc., have a 30 day money-back guarantee (see web site for details). The ads on this site are NOT google(tm) or amazon(tm) ads, they are simply links to sites that you can explore and use if you wish to contact me for my services and publications. Also this entity does not endorse any use of social media as a primary means for development of an independent enterprise or church, even though many do so (at their own risk of dependency). Hint: Get your own domain name and independent web site hostiing and e-mail service.
I may also be available as a speaker for your group, conference, convention, trade show, radio or TV broadcast, etc. Contact me at John@JohnCRandall.com for availability and rates. Also, if you are an aspiring politician, you might wish to contact me for insights that are not published.

P.S. If you did the math, you discovered that I am only 85 years old. I am still very much alive, serving clients and blessed to be healthy, living life to the fullest, day-by-day, and all the Glory goes to the one true God: the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
