About The Secret Is YOU: How I Empowered 250,000 Women To
Product Description USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller! How a trailblazing business turned the hottest bedroom toy accessories into a $350 million global empire. In 2000, Chris Cicchinelli was twenty-five and at a crossroads. He had just been forced to leave a promising position at a large retail franchise when his mother, Patty Brisben, called. She wanted her son’s help in growing her women-only, in-home party business featuring relationship enhancement products. Cicchinelli had been earning well over $100,000 annually at his previous job. Patty said she could pay him just $24,000. Still, he said yes, planning to stay just a few months to get the company—which would soon be rebranded as Pure Romance—on its feet. But after recognizing its potential, he never left. Long hours on the road and a restyled business model initially led to financial struggles, and more questions than answers. But their strategy ultimately paid off in explosive growth that swelled the company’s revenues from $3 million in 2001 to $350 million today. Its workforce of independent consultants now exceeds 40,000 in the U.S. and abroad, despite the recent challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the secret is YOU, author Chris Cicchinelli charts his two-decade journey transforming Pure Romance into the world’s largest in-home/virtual party company of its kind, while also sharing his innovative approach for empowering women to become successful entrepreneurs themselves. Review "Pure Romance is a story about the power of a dream and the will to break down the barriers standing in the way of that dream. Chris tells the inspirational story of how a business that started in a basement turned into a global phenomenon. But maybe more importantly, he clearly reveals that the same principles that were born in that basement, the bedrock of his company's success, still positively impact his company, employees, and customers today. Those principles can help anyone bring their dreams to life." -- Rob Lynch, CEO, Papa John's Finally, a book that shows you how to embrace getting outside of your comfort zone and how coaching, passion, dedication, and hard work are the foundation for accelerated sustained growth." -- Bob Sumerel, Founder, Bob Sumerel Tire & Service "No business leader today packs more wisdom, energy, and inspiration per page than Chris Cicchinelli.
