The Perfect Network Marketing Recruiting & Belief Building Tool

ONLY for beginners in network marketing. Very strange audio w music on while he's talking. Poorly produced and entirely unhelpful. More like a primer in what network marketing is and how it works. Looking for a book on how to? Get Go Pro.

Exceptional Guide to => TIME & FINANCIAL Freedom!

I love this book ("The Four Year Career") by Richard Bliss Brooke, because it speaks to SO many of us!

I have the original version, which I just re-read - and there will be a "10th Anniversary Edition" coming soon (in Kindle format).

To give a quick overview of WHY I feel this book is so timely (and important!) ...

In addition to running a busy Business & Financial Consulting practice, I have been involved in the Network Marketing industry (part time) for 32+ years, with different companies - as well as having had the privilege of being on the Board Of Directors of its professional association for four years, representing Canada (ANMP [dot] com) - the Association of Network Marketing Professionals - a global, non-profit organization which serves to educate, protect, and inspire Associates everywhere). HOWEVER - - -

SELF EMPLOYMENT - As a Consultant, I am a SELF EMPLOYED professional - which means "trading hours for dollars" - "time for money" (the same as any other "Self Employed" professional (Attorney / Health Practitioner / Electrician / CPA / Dentist / etc).

NO LEVERAGE - We have NO "leverage" - i.e., if we - go on vacation - get sick - take a sabattacal - our income basically STOPS. We are very vulnerable - it presents us with high RISK - unless we have "other sources" if income! -- On the other hand - - -

BUSINESS OWNERSHIP - There is NO more powerful "wealth creation" metric, in the history of humankind, than that of owning a successful BUSINESS.
Nothing - not personal real estate - not the stock market - not gold / silver / rare art / coins / Reits / stamps / mutual funds / vintage autos / forex / family heirlooms / crypto currencies / options -- Nothing -- Nada.

NETWORK MARKETING - More specifically - there have been more multi-millionaires created from real "Business Ownership" than from any other means - and the Network Marketing "business model" (in it's purest form) is perhaps the single finest one ever created by human-kind -- WHY?

(3) FORCES - Because it provides a "combination" of financial forces that NO other asset / investment / business / career / profession can provide ... (3) Powerful Benefits ... which come together, in "one package" -- i.e. -- (1) LEVERAGE + (2) PASSIVE (Residual) INCOME + (3) COMPOUNDING - along with Business Leadership Training + Personal Development + Time & Financial Management Skills + Lifetime Friendships -- all of which are "priceless" in scope.

ASSET VALUE - This (asset value concept) was one of my own biggest takeaways. In addition to the many areas covered in his book (including the success stories, from all different companies), Brooke paints the picture of a successful Network Marketing business being compared to a Financial Asset that can throw off significant CASH FLOWS (Passive, Residual Income!) - for decades - almost on automation - just like a profitable high-rise Apartment Building, or Office Tower, etc -- but, "without" any of the financial RISKS!

EQUIVALENT 'CAPITAL' - Or, putting it another way (my figures) -- developing a monthly income from a Network Marketing business of say, $5,000/month, is the same as having a lump sum (capital) sitting in the bank.

EXAMPLES:

-- For $5,000/month - at (4%) - it's like having this amount in the bank = $1.5-million

-- For $5,000/month - at (3%) - it's like having this amount in the bank = $2-million

-- For $5,000/month - at (2%) - it's like having this amount in the bank = $3-million

Most people will "never" be able to SAVE UP those large amounts in the bank ("after" taxes -- "after" living expenses -- "after" inflation, etc) -- probably not in (2) lifetimes!

BUT, with the right "Network Marketing" Home Business -- they can "create" that $5,000/month - fairly quickly - and with that LEVERAGE + COMPOUNDING + PASSIVE (Residual) INCOME - all mentioned above ("plus" the TAX savings that go with a HOME-based business).

Brooke puts it this way - - -

How "much income" (after taxes & living expenses!) would one have to earn - in order to invest enough - to build $1-MILLION in say, Real Estate, or Equities? How "long" would it take? How much would you have to "sacrifice" in your lifestyle to do it?

In essence ... The asset value of one's Network Marketing income will be approximately 200 times their monthly income ... so if they're earning say, $5,000/month in Residual (Brook calls it a Royalty) Income - and they can rely on it continuing - their Residual Royalty Income could be worth $1-MILLION.

In other words, it is "200 times EASIER" to build your Net Worth in "all three" ways, using your Network Marketing income to fund the "other two" options (Real Estate + Equities). And, you can get to your target Net Worth in 4-5 years -vs- a lifetime (or 2 lifetimes)!

===============

TRANSPARENCY - Richard Brooke, in this great book, separates "fact from fiction" - he outlines the "3 activities" necessary for success - he explains the "cornerstones" of the Four Year Career -- and he does so with simple and clear language. This makes "duplicating his philosophy" something that even a brand new Network Marketing Associate can put into practice.

To me, the "Four Year Career" is possibly the single best resource available - not only to to teach new Network Marketers the WHY (and the HOW) - but also, to give those who might be "thinking of" starting a Network Marketing business - the "straight goods" on what to EXPECT.

Without hesitation, I highly recommend this masterpiece - for anybody who wants "a better life" - and I easily give it a 5-STAR Rating.

Sometimes an author just really nails it.

As the `MLM whole truth' guy, I like to think that I tell it like it is. But frankly, no one does a better job of describing the real value and benefits of Multilevel or Network Marketing, without exaggerating a single fact, than Richard Brooke.

And let me tell you, after reading it, I think you will agree that the truth is good enough! The case for network marketing is well made.

This newly revised, 118 page 2013 edition is an excellent belief-building guide for anyone considering Network Marketing.

Here's what you will find in this compelling, easy-to-understand recruiting tool:

A brief discussion of the economic uncertainty many are facing, and the challenges that traditional means commonly considered for building financial security pose

A revealing explanation of the myths and realities of Network Marketing (some may surprise you)

Industry statistics and third-party endorsements that reinforce the power of Network Marketing as a wealth-building vehicle

Stories of real live Network Marketing millionaires, including their tips for success

There is only one section of the book I might have done differently.

On page 21 Mr. Brooke describes...

Myth #2: Network Marketing is an opportunity for someone who is not doing well financially to make some money--maybe even a lot of money.

But then, takes it back in the next paragraph:

Unfortunately, many of the success stories have perpetuated this myth with a rags-to-riches theme. Although there are enough people to substantiate the myth, it is still a myth.

If it happens, it is not a myth. He goes on to imply that people who already possess skills that have made them successful in other areas of life will be much more likely to succeed than a person "who is not doing well financially."

It is very true that "people who are struggling financially are doing so for a number of reasons, including low self-esteem and/or lack of the basic skills and preparation that allow one to succeed in anything." Indeed, skills, readiness, and persistence are requisites for anyone to succeed in Network Marketing.

But I wrote in the margin of my copy in big letters, "THESE THINGS CAN BE LEARNED!"

But even in differing slightly in this area, Richard Brooke's candor and straightforwardness is apparent and recommends the entire work.

This book really helped to launch me into my network marketing career! I made a 4 year commitment and went for it full force. I started making 6 figures after my second year. I attribute much of my success to reading this book at the start of my career!

The biggest fear of most new network marketers is, "Can I do it."

Richard Bliss Brooke has broken down the mind set that is necessary to over come all of the mental roadblocks that stand in the way of being successful in any business.

Looking back on his very successful career starting as a chicken cutter at Foster Farms on a high speed processing line, fighting through 4 years of nothing happening and coming out the other side making more money in 1 month than he would have made a year after 40 years in a chicken plant he knows what it takes.

While network marketing is an easy profession to do mastering those few skills is not easy. The biggest skill necessary is getting the mind right and that is where Richard Bliss Brooke shines. "The Four Year Career" is a blueprint to learning how to learn, or better yet, how to unlearn all the things that have thrown a barrier to your success.

This book is a must for anyone who is a network marketer. It should be given to every one of your new recruits, every member of your team and just random people on the street. Who knows, one of them might be a chicken cutter looking for a better life.

A friend of many years posted on Facebook that she had some Qivana Editions of this book if anyone was interested. It was free. What the heck! I was entertaining the idea of doing something different (other than going back to a corporate tech job!) so, I contacted her. She sent me a copy, I read it and now...she's my mentor and I AM ALL IN!

You will find the content compelling and easy-to-understand! From describing the 40/40/40 Plan to the advantages of Network Marketing and why it works; myths about the business model and a comparison between traditional sales versus Network Marketing. The facts are undeniable! Many facets are covered enough to provide a clear picture, without getting bogged down in the nitty gritty!

The icing on the cake (for me) is the section of Qivana Success Stories. What makes it SO REAL is that I have personally known one of those people featured in this section for over 30 years!!

I have read it twice and will definitely read it again, and again, and again...

30+ year Network Marketing Guru Richard Brooke nailed this masterpiece. Well-known in the MLM circles for integrity and authenticity,he carried that throughout his work. Four Year Career gifts us with a clear and concise view of the industry, its possibilities, personal growth aspects and also touches on the myths floating around the profession. In keeping with his vision he inspires all through the book with powerful quotes. He completes his creation with an incredible set of short bios from others in the field. In short, anyone interested in "ethical network marketing", leadership, giving back or freedom of time & money this is a MUST-READ. Its a quick read, set in a genius format, easy to refer back to over and over again. I give it a 5*. Many thanks to Mr. Brooke for this creation. It has revolutionized my life!!

Over time there have been many small books that impact and revolutionize lives. "As a Man Thinketh" and "Chicken Soup for the Soul" are just a few. Never before has there been a small book that has revolutionized and impacted an industry like "The Four Year Career". Richard Brooke's simple and clear explanation of this often grossly misunderstood profession of multi level marketing is inspirational, and his clear explanation helps those uninformed and misinformed finally understand the beauty of what the model offers. Everyone who reads it will be inspired to spend four years doing what few are willing, to enjoy a lifetime of benefits few ever achieve. "The Four Year Career" is a wonderful business building tool, congratulatory gift for rank advancement, and must be in every serious MLM professional's library. Thanks, Richard. You nailed it!

The simplicity of the Four Year Career makes it an engaging, yet simple read. Richard Brooke does a fantastic job of breaking down what Network Marketing is and what it isn't. There are so many people out there that are disillusioned to the profession because they think it's a way to get rich quick. While there are tremendous benefits to it, Network Marketing also requires a lot of hard work and dedication, which is laid out in this book. It's why Network Marketing will always be a part of my career. Do what nobody else is willing to do for 4-6 years of your life to be able to live the rest of your life as only a select few can. The work is hard, but the benefit is very real. If you are even considering network marketing or thinking about joining a company, this should be the first thing you read.

Richard has greatly simplified the business model for network marketing by making it ever so universal and simple. Using the book itself as a marketing tool is brilliant and something everyone can understand. Once someone is interested, I am then able to bring in information from the company I am partnered with. First, however, people buy into NM from reading this book...or not! This greatly simplifies my life because I am not listening to 'my cousin's neighbor said...' there weeks later. Richard lays it all out.

I love "The Four Year Career"!! Here are 3 reasons why YOU should buy it!
1) It is a quick read and will give you a better understanding of how network marketing WORKS, giving you increased confidence.
2) Give it to your prospects so they can get a clearer understanding of what your business is about from a 3rd party, company-independent source. Let Richard be the expert and give your prospect some validation to your business.
3) Whenever you hit a low-point in your business (don't worry, we all do), pick up The Four Year Career and get a quick shot of motivation/confidence to get yourself going again!

In recent years there have been more and more books on building a business in the direct sale profession. As a career professional I read them all and have been around the profession since I was 18 closing in on 3 decades! I also have interviewed Richard on more then one occasion for the MLMIA and HBRN, Home Business Radio Network the fastest growing radio network in the world devoted to the home business professional. [...]
I love Richard's tell it like it is, get in your face,the truth is good enough attitude! In the direct selling space it is very refreshing:)
I believe Richard better then anyone in direct sales helps people "GET IT" better then anyone I know. He helps you see the promised land! He has a way of helping you get the math that is involved in leveraged distribution (direct selling). When you fully understand a job is exchanging time for money( no leverage)vs building an organization of customers and distributors the light bulb goes off. Richard is the best at getting the light to go off period...Once you understand the power of leverage and your ability to do what most people will never do in their entire career in as little as 4 years you will be never be able to go back to traditional non leverage thinking. If you want to change your and your family's life for the better do not just read The Four Year Career, DEVOUR IT UNTIL IT IS A PART OF YOU! It is not what you remember it is what you can not forget...

This book is awwwwsome! I used to approach differently but after reading The Four Year Career and watching the you tube video that focuses on the cornerstones is helping my business to really take off!. I also have the Wake Up Call dvd's to hand out and between all of it I have 2 new distributors in 1 week and another one next week. It has taught me how to talk to my team members in a more professional manner on the level of network marketing. Thank you so much for all the wonderful information in the book and on the dvd.

Richard Brooke is one of my Network Marketing Education GO TO GUYS -- I give his book to everyone I introduce the Network Marketing Profession to. It clarifies, simplifies and debunks the myths of our profession allowing me to present my information to a better listener. It also helps me define who my real potential business partners are, because, face it, if you don't like what Richard teaches? You are not going to like this profession! Thank you RIchard! Dianne E.

The more tools we have for people to understand network marketing, the better.
This book simplifies the basics, keeping it short and sweet.
The price makes it an easy giveaway, and will never run out - we buy it by the case with other leaders also growing their business.

The Four Year Career is my favorite book to share. It is an easy read, and helps with the big picture of Network Marketing. I recommend it to every new distributor in my organization and mail copies out after an initial new distributor training call is done with a new team member.

It's not surprising Richard Bliss Brookes' alter ego is "MLM Man", complete with red cape.
In this one easy read anyone wanting to create a life beyond the tedium of 9-5 and make their dreams of financial freedom a reality can learn how to:
1. blast through the myths about network marketing faster than a speeding bullet.
2. create momentum more powerful than a locomotive
3. Leap over excuses and objections in a single bound.
We use "Four Year Career" to inspire and ignite our own team of super MLM heros.
You should too!

Fantastic book! I ordered the book and watched Richard's video on how to use it to help me build my business. The first person I shared the book with inviting them "to just have a look" called me 2 days later and said "let's talk". I am sharing it with my upline, downline, and my futureline. It's easy to read, full of practical business tips, which makes it easy to share.
