Mach II

There is a level of personal development and life engagement in which you will experience more abundance, peace and power — and make a greater contribution to others. The secret to motivation is a crystal clear vision that is aligned with your goals, your true values, gifts and the theme of your life currently. Everyone always has and will have visions. It is not a matter of getting on one, it is a matter of replacing the ones we have with the ones that propel us toward our goals. This is Mach II.

-A powerful introduction to the art of personal vision and self motivation.
-A challenge to personally produce, direct and star in the movie that is your life.

Richard Brooke grew up on a cattle ranch in central California. After high school, Richard pumped gas at Pearson's Arco at the corner of G and Olive streets. He lived at the gas station in his camper. After failing to lock the front door of the gas station two nights in a row, he was fired and went to work for Foster Farms, the largest poultry processing plant in the world. It was a union job that paid $3.05 an hour, complete with benefits, seniority, vacation, and best of all—retirement. Richard cut chickens into parts as they flew past him on the production line.

Having established gainful employment at the age of 22, Richard fully expected to spend the next forty years of his life working at the chicken plant, building seniority (POWER), vacation time (FUN), and clicking off the years to retirement (FREEDOM).

Then a friend introduced Richard to a business model that promised fun, freedom and (as he would later describe it) a life beyond money: Multi Level Marketing (MLM). Stepping in to a new way of thinking and working required a huge change in perspective. Richard had to believe that he was both capable and deserving of success, and then relentlessly pursue a new direction in his life. With the help of friends, mentors and coaches, he did just that.

Richard made his first million before the age of 30, advancing to the top sales-leader position in a $60 million Network Marketing organization made up of more than 200,000 sales people. At age 31, he became the Executive Vice President of that company. Since that time he was inducted into the MLM Hall of Fame, served on the ethics committee and is a current member of the Direct Selling Association (DSA), served on the board of the MLMIA, and current owns and operates his own MultiLevel Marketing company.

Through Richard's coaching, writings and seminars thousands of leaders and network marketers have discovered new distinctions in listening, leadership, courage, relationships, team spirit and big-time fun. He is the author of Mailbox Money, Mach II and co-author of The New Entrepreneurs: Business Visionaries for the 21st Century. Some of the presentations that Richard has authored include:

-The 4-Year Career Plan™
-Listening Through Objections
-Value-Based Prospecting
-Vision and Self-Motivation
-The Un-Boss
-The New Leaders
-Therapeutic Listening
-Coaching For Personal Breakthrough

Richard continues to play full out from his home on the lake in the resort community of Coeur d' Alene, Idaho and a horse ranch in the California foothills. He enjoys Harleys, golf, water sports, scuba-diving, skiing, snowmobiling, helicopter flying, a good game of poker and a real Cuban cigar.
