Meet a Member – Tony Dollars
Posted on June 23, 2009 - Filed Under Jane Thoughts, Meet a Jane, Which Jane Are You?
Carlos Merriweather is Tony Dollars. Tony Dollars is the Host and Carlos Merriweather is the Producer of the Tony Dollars International Satellite Radio Broadcast. He is published in literary work, and seeks talent through his web site www.recordsongs.us. Tony’s first record released was, “Solrâc”, which battled its way to the top of regional charts, earning respect and the friendship of Buddha Records recording artist James Baker (recording artist with Motown manager Harvey Fuqua) of The New Birth with their most recognizable song ‘Wild Flower.’ Tony went to work writing another regional hit titled, “Just Because of You,” 1987. Tony attended Boston’s Berklee College of Music, holds sound engineering and marketing certificates from Berklee, a literature diploma from the Children’s Literature Institute, and a business administration degree from Indiana Wesleyan University. Tony wrote, produced and recorded music and lyrics for the Kentucky Arts Council, the Jefferson County Public Schools, the Peace Education theme song, “Stop the Violence,” and community love song, “This is The Way We Grow,” with La’Shay Porter.
As an entrepreneur, Tony’s goal in starting his business was to begin building value in positive message – music. He named his musical style, Soul-Rock, or “Compassion Music, Songs of Hope.” Now as a member of the American Federation of Musicians, Tony’s talents help other people as he believes, “One of the most exciting things about my business is to be able to work with national artists, and local talent, while offering my services to non-profit organizations to help them raise funds.” Tony began his endeared endeavor of the compassion campaign launching “The Love Club,” non-profit in 1997. T.L.C.’s camps, retreats, radio broadcasts, CD productions and live monthly stage performances captivated many regional followers.
When asked about the Which Jane Type Are You assessment, Tony says that he is “a Mr. Jane Dough. Being a Jane Dough, I really do enjoy running the business and I am comfortable and determined in marketing and selling. I do not at all mind working the long hours it takes to get the work done.” Tony agrees with the assessment, and would advise others in the Jane Dough category to
- Perfect your elevator pitch
- Hire smart and,
- Document your systems.
Tony believes that you can change your Jane Type over time. “At first, I was an Accidental Jane type. Immediately I became Merry Jane type. Although I was struggling, juggling work, three schools, and a family, I couldn’t help allow my true identity to come out. I have been a Tenacity Jane type through time, and I hope to meet other true Jane types that I can help promote and get your business flying.”

Wow!!!
This was great. After an interview you can be left to wonder, “Will what they say be true to me.” I would like readers to know I am a male and not struggling with my identity, but the Jane types are true to me taking the gender consideration away. I would advice anyone to take the Jane test. It was painless.
Thank you Jane Out of the Box!!!
Glad you liked it! Tell all your friends about the assessment!
