EJ McKnight - Work and Business Experience
There was a time when he worked for the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital as part of the housekeeping staff, cleaning operating rooms.
He was top salesman for Southern Ohio Security Systems for 9 straight months. He was the youngest and most inexperienced on the sales team, yet he outperformed the “veterans” because of sheer determination and hard work. “Plus the blind belief in a very simple formula,” he adds.
He also ventured into network marketing, and became a Regional Director of his own long distance phone business (Excel Telecommunications). He recruited a large downline of representatives and customers. He left the parent company because of philosophical differences in customer service, but he still receives residual monthly income from his efforts.
Together with his youngest son, he created and managed McKnight Real Estate Management and Development. They purchased, renovated, and resold or leased distressed properties. At one time, the company owned 11 rental properties, and the eventual sale of those properties allowed EJ McKnight to become financially secure. Father and son did everything, from contracts, actual construction or rehabilitation work, sales, negotiation, ordering, and dealing with subcontractors. They learned the whole business from the top down, and still believe that real estate is the greatest investment available today.
Today, EJ McKnight is a well-respected English teacher at the number 1 ranked high school in the U.S., (Stanton College Preparatory School), a professional magician, and President of Standing Ovations, a unique success training and motivational company, which has been nominated as Outstanding International Organization by The Florida Chamber of Commerce. EJ McKnight’s energized and engaging presentations have received enthusiastic response from audiences as large as 6,500 in 14 countries and 4 continents.
