Richard Bliss Brooke . . . Every day, we are changing the way Network Marketers network and market.
Richard emerges from simple beginnings when he had an $11,000 house in 1976 holding a first and second mortgage. Later, his dad took out a third mortgage on it for $5,000 to start Richard’s MLM business. What are you willing to invest to achieve your dream?
The Four Year Career was created in 1979 as part of a big idea to recruit college kids at Drake. Having interviewed 30 marketing majors and pitched them the idea of: “What if you invested 10 hours a week in each of your four college years and graduated with an Asset Income of $3,000 – $4,000 a month? What life choices could you make differently? How would YOUR life be different if you graduated with a full-time Residual Income? At age 28, he had 30,000 active partners building with him.
After studying under greats like Kurt Robb, Paul J. Meyer and Lou Tice, and reading everything from Think and Grow Rich to Psycho-Cybernetics, he taught workshops on Vision and Self-Motivation as an edge to motivate his sales teams to succeed. In 1983 he invested $22,000 to become a certified Pacific Institute Facilitator for Lou Tice transformational workshops, learning that our self-esteem, our internal stories, and our belief systems determine whether or not we’ll be successful in any given venture -- this became his focus.
SUCCESS magazine featured Richard and the company he owned on the cover. It was the first and last time SUCCESS magazine ever featured Network Marketing on the cover. This issue outsold every issue in the 100-year history of SUCCESS.
After doing Vision and Self-Motivation workshops for many years, Richard wrote Mach2: The Art of Vision & Self-Motivation in 1995 as a way for the participants to carry on with the work. The principles in this book are what launched him to breakout success . . . and what landed him on that history-making cover of SUCCESS magazine. Mach 2 is like an owner’s manual, for the mind and the motions and the heart, to teach you how to create, on your own, a state of self-motivation.
He began a crusade in 1990 to raise the standards of our professionalism and our industry image. The Upline Masters series was the first generic series of events in our profession led by John Fogg in the late 1980’s inspired by his landmark book, The Greatest Networker in the World. Then came The Mastermind Event created by Art Jonak, followed by Eric Worre’s Go Pro. He has been a regular speaker at all of these events and many more.
He was a member of the Direct Selling Association Ethics committee for ten years and a member of the board of directors for 3 years, leading the change in the ethics and compliance conversations of our industry association.
He believes we have the most potent wealth building model on the planet for the average person and that most of us that participate, most companies, and even the DSA have a massive reinvention project on our hands and hearts. “We have to change the way we represent this grand profession. We have to change the value proposition of our products from fad to fabulous. We have to change how we Invite people to take a look. And we have to change the way we self-regulate. We have to do all of this with long range Vision, servant leadership, and integrity.”
He wrote The Four Year Career as a fair and honest view of Network Marketing. By writing it, he clearly endorses the Network Marketing business model but is also one of its most vocal critics and change agents. The purpose of the book is to educate both sales leaders and the public on the truth about the potential of the income and wealth-building model . . . and the truth about what it really takes to succeed.
Times have evolved and so has the Network Marketing profession. He updated this book with the latest stats and the latest techniques to help your prospect see the Vision of Network Marketing and what is possible.
Dressing up as Super MLM Man and hitting the streets in Spokane, Honolulu, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City to interview the public on what they know, believe, and think about the Network Marketing model, what became obvious is that the public has no idea what Network Marketing is, what MLM is, or even what Direct Selling is. No idea. But they do know what Amway is, and they do think they know what a pyramid scheme is. None of it is good.
One of the best gifts he has received from the profession is the gift of love. A speaking engagement led him to connect and fall madly in love with his now wife, soul mate, and partner for life, Kimmy.
Together, they own two global businesses and run them from their personal paradises in Lanai, Hawaii; Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; and Boulder, Colorado.
Through the work of Bliss Business, their Network Marketing tools, training, and retreat organization, they have made it their mission to share their knowledge on growing ethically with leaders from ALL organizations . . . because they know that we are all better together! <MORE>
