Richard Bliss Brooke went from chicken chopper to CEO, according to Success magazine in its 1992 cover story, an issue that outsold every issue in the 100-year history of the magazine. He was only 36 years old when Success magazine featured his journey from earning $3.05 an hour cutting chickens for Foster Farms to creating millionaires from his sales training and performance coaching.
Had it not been for an obscure management decision by Foster Farms – they would not promote anyone who did not have a college degree – Richard would have recently retired from a 40-year career at the processing plant. Instead, he pivoted and built a nationwide sales organization of 30,000 people by the time he was 28 and went on to build two global companies over the next 35 years.
As a keynote speaker, he has wowed audiences of over 10,000 and shared the stage with Tony Robbins, Sir Richard Branson, Bob Proctor, John Maxwell, and many others. As an author, he has written three books and hundreds of articles and blogs.
Today Richard runs his three multimillion-dollar companies from his home on the island of Lanai, Hawaii. Richard joins Mitch on this episode to share his background, experience and how he is helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses and make better decisions along the way. You can also watch a video of their discussion on our YouTube Channel.
