Network Marketing Heroes: Host Richard Bliss Brooke

Having lost most of his team in October of 2011, Andi Duli was down on his luck. Then, with the help of a workshop that Richard Brooke held in that same year, he launched his business and his MINDSET. Within 90 days he built a new group of 189 people, which has grown to over 15,000 active distributors. Now his team consists of 21,000 actively preferred customers on a current monthly auto-ship and over 10,000 ACTIVE retail.  Andi believes with all his heart that if success can happen for an immigrant pizza delivery driver, who started out broke with no English and no network, it can happen for anyone. Listen as he shares his incredible story and the greatest lessons he’s learned along the way. 

Valerie Edwards is at the rank of Executive National Vice President in her company, having joined in 2002. Prior to Network Marketing, she owned and operated a licensed daycare out of her home. In addition to her own two daughters, she was watching 8 other children, and soon found herself 25 years old and "somedaying" her life away.     After an amazing product experience, Valerie decided to start building what she thought was just a “cute little business.” But she soon discovered it was much more. Within 18 months, she reached the rank of Regional VP! When Valerie had a stroke at just 33 years old in 2010, she was physically unable to work. But because of everything she’d built the 8 years prior, she saw the benefits of time-leverage carry her through. During this call, Valerie will share more of her journey and how she put the power of duplication to work for her.  

Jay Coburn, a former journeyman carpenter and master mechanic, has been building his Isagenix business since 2002.

Today he is a member of the Isagenix Legacy Club with a team of more than 85,000 active distributors and 280,000 customers.    Jay was first introduced to Network Marketing at age 22.

Jay persevered through 3 Network Marketing companies closing their doors before he started building his legacy with Isagenix. How and why did he do it? Don’t miss this humor- and wisdom-filled interview as Jay shares his stories with Richard Brooke … and you! 

In 2009, April Pointer of Young Living started out like most people in Network Marketing: as a customer using the products. This busy stay-at-home mom, who was also homeschooling her two kids, was not interested in building the business. But in 4 months of teaching classes at the request of friends, she “accidentally” met the 4th rank (out of 10) in the company, and when she hit rank 6, she stopped treating it as a hobby.   Enrolling 30–40 people a year for the first four years allowed geometric progression to really take off, and today April Pointer has 1 million members on her team! This has been a huge blessing for April, who was born with a birth defect and has had 4 dozen surgeries in her life. Hear her incredible story of beating the odds and her oily wisdom for building a team!

Lisa DeMayo spent 14 years juggling a career as a successful pharmaceutical sales representative and coach. But this busy mom was desperate for more time-freedom and less exhaustion. Oddly enough, it was a board game that sparked her vision to build a Network Marketing career. As a student of personal development from the young age of 13, Lisa was able to reach the top of her company at the time in 5 months. (Yes, she will share how she did it!)   Today this leadership coach, CEO and top networker has over 200,000 members and was named 2017 Woman of the Year in Isagenix. She’s the author of “The Art of Getting What You Want: How to Cultivate the Happiness, Health and Wealth You Desire.” Don’t miss Lisa’s unique story, her best leadership lessons, and the #1 key she equates to her success in Network Marketing.   

Even though they both had successful careers, Anna and Yvan Lozano were not happy or fulfilled climbing the corporate ladder. Always a self-described “side hustler,” Anna started meeting female entrepreneurs around Toronto, Canada, in 2010. Fascinated by the energy of one in particular, she immediately said “yes” upon being introduced to USANA. Even though she was petrified of what people would think, Anna got right to work and personally enrolled 4 people in her first 8 weeks. It wasn’t long before Yvan joined her and they started building their team, together.    A pivotal time in their build was year three, when they doubled their personal enrollments up to 60! Listen to this call and find out what the Lozanos did to kick their recruiting into high-gear, the best mentorship lessons they learned, and what they say is the secret to MLM success.   

“Leapfrog” your way to success. As a former hairdresser, Shauna Ekstrom had been prospected a million times and began to think of networkers as “weird.” But when a good friend approached her with an opportunity, she trusted her enough to just take a look … and soon, began to build her Isagenix business.     Momentum really took off when she met and fell in love with Dr. Scott Peterson, who considered himself a “glorified laborer” who was tied down to his dental practice. When they combined forces, they personally sponsored 179 people in a two-year timespan and have built a team into the thousands. On this Network Marketing call with Richard Brooke, don’t miss what this power couple has to say about the distinction between those who make it and those who don’t, finding the people who are hungry for personal development, and how to get into quick momentum.
