A Dead Closer

Tracey JonesMay 04, 2026

Golden Tempo — a 23-1 longshot most of the room had written off before the gates opened — had just come from dead last to win the 152nd Run for the Roses. Afterward, his trainer said something I haven't been able to stop thinking about: "He's a dead closer."

Earn Your Stripes: The Stories You’ll Tell When It Matters Most

Tracey JonesApr 19, 2026

Last night, historian Bill Federer shared a line that stopped me cold: when we meet Moses, David, and Daniel in heaven, they'll want to hear about our acts of bravery and kingdom work. Lord, have mercy. A reflection on warriors, publishers, speakers — and why the stories we're living right now matter more than we think.

The Peril of Apostasy: Preserving the Legacy in Leadership

Tracey JonesMar 04, 2024

In the dynamic realm of business and leadership, it's often tempting to chase after the allure of progress and innovation. Yet, amidst this pursuit, a perilous path exists—one that can lead to the demise of our legacy through apostasy.

Fifteen Years Later: Reflecting on God's Unique Path for Tremendous Leadership

Tracey JonesJan 08, 2024

The greatest thing I’ve learned in 15 years is that God's love for me is not contingent on my accomplishments in my business. I rebuke any lies from Satan that suggest otherwise. I will praise God for every day I can turn on my lights and pay my bills, knowing that His grace and resources are more than sufficient. And should the day come when that provision ceases, I will praise Him in wherever He guides me next. With unwavering dedication, I will continue to work until His return, fully aware that everything sown on this earth will hold eternal value in heaven.

Couldn’t We All Use Some Therapy

Tracey JonesJul 06, 2020

Everyone should be in therapy. It’s good for the body, mind, and soul. It helps unpack baggage and enables us to deconstruct the mysteries that vex us in life. In The Three Therapies of Life, Charlie “Tremendous” Jones shares practical and applicable ways to heal yourself so you can continue to impact others and change lives. I uncovered this material from a DVD I found. It was recorded back in the ’90s when my father was in his heyday (which was technically every day). In this message, he spoke to an audience of fellow speakers and presenters at the National Speakers Association (NSA). His words rang truer to my ears and heart than they ever had before. I guess I needed some “Tremendous” therapy. Read more...

The Anointed Call of Leadership

Tracey JonesJun 22, 2020

We are thrilled to release our 32^nd Life-Changing Classic - the first one to feature a female leader! A peasant girl, an agent of God, a heroine of France, and a canonized saint, Joan of Arc possessed seven virtues that enabled her to make history. She was a humble citizen turned military leader who took no title other than the Maid, rising up at a time of great social and political upheaval. This foundation was poured by the God-given anointing of leadership and cemented through history and circumstances. Read more...

Excited or Entrenched

Tracey JonesSep 24, 2019

The landscape of our lives is constantly changing which wreaks a great deal of havoc on humans who would often rather die than change. We lose relationships and our health, we miss once in a lifetime and repeated opportunities, yet we continue to blame everyone but ourselves.

The Great Realization

Tracey JonesApr 28, 2019

Throughout my leadership journey, I’ve heard one constant refrain--people are your greatest asset because they have within them the mind, heart, and spirit to do great things. Having worked with thousands of individuals over the past forty years of my professional life, I used to think, “well, that depends on which people you're talking about." Which brings us to the genuine question, is there an innate great encoded in every single human being? Do we have the seeds of success embedded into our DNA waiting patiently for the trigger that causes them to begin manifesting? I used to think the answer was ‘no,' but now I see it is ‘yes.'

The Granddaughter Project

Tracey JonesOct 28, 2018

In the Spring of 2017, a successful business leader asked me to take his five granddaughters on a weekend retreat and provide professional development and mentorship in a private, relaxed, yet focused setting. There were two goals; first, help these young women unlock their inner greatness and second, help them stay away from the people who would derail them. Pretty much sums up the path to a tremendous life!

Ten Years Later…. Life is Still Tremendous by Gloria B. Jones

Tracey JonesOct 14, 2018

Through even the hard times and the changes we see with our families and everything around us, we still must be hopeful and go forward and take each day at a time. At ninety-one years of age, I have genuinely found that this is the path to living a tremendous life. Thank you to everyone for the continued support, encouragement, and prayers. Charles' vast network of speakers has meant the world to me. He and I shared many beautiful times with The Speakers Roundtable and the Veterans Speakers. Their love and support allow me to feel still so connected. May God richly bless you all!

Salute to a Tremendous Father

Tracey JonesJun 10, 2018

What he could not have fathomed was the utter lack of individual ownership in creating their own lives. He knew what it was like to be dealt every bad card in the deck. From an impoverished upbringing to a lack of schooling, abuse, and betrayal. Yet, he gloriously pursued life without an ounce of "woe is me" or "you owe me." Pity parties were for thumb suckers, and he repeatedly proclaimed, "No one is a failure until they blame someone else."

Capturing Wisdom: Write to Life

Tracey JonesApr 08, 2018

“When you read a book, when you hear a speaker, when you hear a sermon, always take your pen and read or listen with the pen to cultivate the habit of making notes of things you think rather than what you thought you heard. Now, today make a few notes. As you hear speaking make notes of what you think. Listen, but listen just enough to get your mind in motion and start those thought process.”
