Gus Searcy

Gus SearcyMr. Gus Searcy has an interesting and varied background. At age 16, his parents signed over Power of Attorney to him as an adult so he could play the Stock Market. Once they realized he really knew what he was doing, the only way to buy and sell over the phone was to give him “Adult” status. So by age 17, he was earning a six-figure income and has been doing that every year since (he jokes that is only about 5 years now). By age 19, he became a landlord owning one of the most rented condos in Mammoth, California. By age 21, he became the youngest owner in the world of a 7-Eleven franchise and still holds that title today. By age 24, he owned a world champion Frisbee- catching dog, which made more money than some people make in a lifetime (and he managed that money). By age 26, as a performing member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood, he became one of the highest paid magicians in the world. By age 28, he invented a new technology that changed the world. That invention is Voice Recognition and it resides in the Smithsonian today.

So why would a self- made Millionaire and Inventor start a Pre-Paid Legal home business?

That is an interesting story in itself. Mr. Searcy fell into the business completely by accident. It was a wrong phone call transferred to him in error. When Ms. Liz Foo realized it was the wrong person on the other line, instead of hanging up when most people would have, she had the presence of mind to say “ You’ve been very nice about this, may I get back in touch with you and explain what this is all about?” Then she proceeded to follow up with him every few days (with a new tool) for the next six months! Mr. Searcy thought “If she spends half the time helping me as she did trying to get me, this might be worth looking at.” Ninety days later he became an Executive Director and 32 months later earned the Six-Figure Ring.

Pre-Paid Legal has turned out to be the most fun and the most rewarding thing Mr. Searcy has ever done. “I get to help so many people with our membership and our opportunity. The $100,000 ring I wear on my hand says it best “Making a living while making a difference.” Pre-Paid Legal has also been easiest thing Mr. Searcy ever seen. He says “If you think it’s easy, it is. If you think it’s hard, you’re right! Remember- the difference between dreams and reality is effort.”
