In 1985, Charlie was awarded the President's Award by the Harrisburg Association of Life Underwriters and in 2004, he was recognized with the Registered Financial Consultant (RFC) designation.

The book was awarded the Platinum Book Award on April 25th, 1993 for 1,101,283 copies by the Evangelical Christian Publishers. To date, the book has never gone out of print. Charlie was also featured in numerous other speakers' books and training programs including: "Leadership by the Book" series with Ken Blanchard, "Excelling in the New Millennium" with Jim Rohn, and many more.

He was honored by Central Penn College in 2003 with an honorary Doctor of Human Letters. And in 2005, he was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Chiropractic Humanities by the Texas Chiropractic College and Doctorate of Public Service by the Parker College of Chiropractic.

About Being Tremendous
Charlie "Tremendous" Jones

About Being Tremendous
People called Charlie "Tremendous" because he called everyone else tremendous. If asked how he got the monicker, he'd blame it on a limited vocabulary: "Tremendous"
➤ When someone told him they were having a child, he'd say "Tremendous!"
➤ When someone got a promotion, "Tremendous!"
➤ When someone got married, succeeded at something, met a great mentor...all "Tremendous". And pretty soon, everyone realized Charlie was "Tremendous."
For over 50 years, Charlie "T" Jones had a simple, yet powerful mission: To help people improve their lives through reading. Charlie entered the world of business, in the insurance industry at just 22 years of age. By age 23, he was awarded his agency's Most Valuable Associate Award.
