Off course is not failure. It is information. A GPS does not shame the plane for drifting, it recalculates and points it home. The only real mistake is not looking. That is what your numbers are for. Free live event, September 19.

If you're busy every single day and still can't say whether you're on track, it isn't a discipline problem. It's that no one ever showed you the two numbers to fly by.

Goals get you off the ground. Metrics get you there. On September 19 at 9 AM PT I am teaching the two that matter, free and live. Register here: bliss.richardbrooke.com/september

Goals get you off the ground. They don't fly the plane.

A flight from San Francisco to New York only lands on time because someone tracks two things the whole way: speed and direction. Your business is the same, and most people track neither.

Speed is the new people you talk to each day. Direction is how many of your builders are recruiting builders, not how many are on the team. I put both down in writing, along with the one idea that changes how it feels to even look at your numbers.

Read it here:

Goals get you off the ground. Two Metrics That Predict Growth get you there: your speed and your direction. Here's how to track the numbers that actually predict growth.

Joni Rogers-Kante started SeneGence out of a baggie of product, with a price sheet she made by hand and a fax machine for orders. In her first year she personally recruited 1,200 women and did 1.7 million dollars in sales. And it still took her thirteen years to build what most people would call a real company.

This week she sat down with me and told the whole story, including the year a packaging shortcut made the lip color leak in customers' purses and she had to destroy 10 million dollars of product.

If you think your start is too small or too messy to build something real on, this one is for you.

Joni Rogers-Kante joins Richard to talk about how SeneGence actually got built, starting well before the company existed. She grew up on a farm in Oklahoma, was sent to California at fifteen, and spent her teenage years working at Sav-On Drugs before finding her way into Mary Kay in her early twenti...

Goals get you off the ground. Metrics get you there.

A plane leaving San Francisco for New York doesn't arrive on hope. It arrives because someone tracks two things the entire flight. Speed, how fast it's moving. And direction, whether it's still pointed at New York.

Your business is the same, and most people only track one of them.
Speed is your pace of play, the exposures you make every day. It's the engine. Direction is whether the right thing is happening underneath the activity, whether the people you bring in are becoming builders themselves. Fast in the wrong direction still lands you in the wrong place.

The good news is you don't need more willpower. You need your instruments. You can't correct a course you're not tracking, and once you can see the drift, fixing it is simple. Off course isn't failure. It's information.

Most of us do not stall for lack of courage to invite. We stall because we run out of people to invite. We write down everyone we can think of, work through the list in a few weeks, and then we are staring at a blank page, sure we have run dry.

We have not. We have just been working a list when we should be tending a map. A list is finite. A map is the web of relationships already in your life, the people you would help whether they ever bought a thing from you. Tend it, and you never run dry.

Be The Pope: Being over Achieving It sounds like the Cardinal Prevost has arrived finally at his ultimate vision, the holy grail, if you will, of goals. Becoming Pope. It is a heady thing. The Pope leads 1.4 billion people spiritually, which is 4 times the population of the US. He leads for his life...

Our most powerful advocacy is not a lobbyist. It is your story. The mom who found flexibility. The couple who paid off the debt. The person who found their confidence for the first time.

That is what my new conversation with Dave Grimaldi, CEO of the Direct Selling Association, is really about. If direct selling has changed something in your life, we need it on the record. Tell your story, it becomes part of the case for all of us.

Dave Grimaldi, CEO of the Direct Selling Association (DSA), returns for his second conversation with Richard this year, and the timing is not an accident. September is when direct selling goes to Washington, and Dave says the stakes this cycle are as high as he has seen them. Richard and Dave get in...

There is a time to listen, and there is a time to speak up. This weekend, I am asking you to speak up. My new conversation with Dave Grimaldi, the CEO of the Direct Selling Association, is live, and it comes down to one thing. The future of this profession gets decided by whether we use our voice. Dave says the most powerful advocacy we have is not a lobbyist or a talking point. It is your story.

So here is the weekend ask. Give it a listen. Then think of the people you know who rely on network marketing for even a little more lifestyle, community, adventure, or health. There are potentially 10 million of us in the US alone. Imagine the influence we would have with 10 million voices. Listen, then share it with one of them.

Goals get you off the ground. Metrics get you there.

It is easy to fall in love with the goal. The trip, the title, the income. But a goal is just a destination. It does not fly the plane.

What flies the plane is two numbers. Speed, how often you are getting in front of new people. And direction, whether that activity is the kind that actually builds. Most people set the goal and then fly blind. The ones who get there know their numbers, and they check them.

What is so mundane in your life that you take it for granted? Your love partner? Your parents? Your health? Why do things have to go away before we steep ourselves in the gratitude they deserve?
Humans…crazy people.

This happens most mornings at our home. I find myself ignoring it while I read away on my computer. LOL.
