Marilyn Clark - CEO and Founder

Single herself for over ten years, Ms Clark recognized that online dating, singles dances and bar hopping didn't produce the results singles were looking for. Online dating, by its nature does everything but allow a person to see and smell another person, the things that combine into the chemistry, that magic phenomenon that makes two people want each other. Singles dances seem to be filled with "regulars", those people who have never been married, or probably won't ever be married again. Dances become their weekly recreation. Serious minded singles are looking for someone to fall in love with and get married to, someone to be with for the rest of their lives. Bars are the worst yet. Those dark, smoke-drenched places where people drink alcohol to relieve their depression, makes a person more depressed than ever. Ms Clark's enthusiasm for her new corporate darling is contagious.

 
An entrepreneur for most of her life, Ms Clark is one of those people who has a new business idea every other day. She believes in writing down all her ideas and, as time permits, developing the best ideas into successful companies which she then proceeds to sell. "My accountant, Tory Brown, once said to me, "Your talent lies in ideas and concepts and that's a lucrative market." Since Ms Clark only briefly worked for anyone other than herself, she enjoys the mind bending challenge of earning a living by organizing and creating new and/or better business models. Since the onset of online dating, she has conceptualized many different types of singles sites, but until the concept of an international posting and searching of singles events came to her in the form of what is now known as Singles In Motion.com, she didn't pursue the industry. "I saw that a few other companies were offering singles events and activities, but their charges prohibited many singles from enjoying their services. Besides that, with millions of singles scattered everywhere, a few event companies in a few major cities weren't really providing an avenue for singles to meet each other," Ms. Clark said in a recent interview.

In researching the web for Singles In Motion.com, Ms. Clark noticed a few speed dating services in a few cities and again found a niche with a glitch. "Find a void and fill it," has always been her business goal when developing a new commercial entity. "The idea was great, but it needed refining. Our Rapid Romance Encounters® are really different. We pre-match people before the event ever takes place so it doubles the changes of finding someone to match with. I also knew how impossible it would be to go around to every major city in the US to hold such events, not to mention the fact that the fees wouldn't even cover my plane fare, so I decided to open it up to anyone who had the drive and stamina to open up their own Rapid Romance Encounters® business. All the ground work is done; the computer does most of the work and it's a great way to meet other singles. Even part time a person can make a substantial chunk of change."

And she was off on her latest venture, her heart and soul full of the thrill she always gets when participating in something that will improve the lives of people in her community and in this case, she feels, the world. "If you find yourself feeling lonely or sorry for yourself, just dive into service. It's not the Band-Aid of pharmaceuticals, it's a real cure for heartache."

Prior to this endeavor, Ms Clark has owned several businesses, from products to franchises to conventions. Most of what she considers substantially successful, were productions and conventions in the event business.

Ms Clark raised four children and one foster child while developing business ideas over the past twenty odd years. With much financial success her main happiness comes from her success as a parent for she believes that no amount of worldly success can compensate for failure in the home.
