Hi, my name is Richard Bradshaw and I am the creator and author of ...

www.WhoisRichardBradshaw.com

If you are anything like me, you want the freedom of not having a BOSS. You want to free yourself of the 9-5 Rat Race, and have the flexibility of working from anywhere you choose.

If you are anything like me, your grew up being programmed, to make it in life, you need to go to college for 4 years, graduate and get a JOB with good benefits and a pension plan. Just work hard and save your money. Then, all you have to do is surrender the next 30-40 years of your life, so you can retire on a fixed income.

Well that’s exactly what I was told also!

That was the path I took but it was not my passion.

The reason I created this MySpace page is because I meet so many people that have lost their passion to live life. They are already dead, they just haven’t been buried yet! People that have given up and have settled for a low paying JOB, that is fulfilling someone else’s DREAM.

And so, my goal with this MySpace page is to bring back some hope and life to all those “could be leaders” out there who have given up on their DREAMS.

But first, let me tell you a little bit about me…

So Who Is This Richard Bradshaw Guy Anyway?

I was born and raised in Pittsburg, Texas. Chances are you’ve never heard of this small town in the Heart of East Texas.

OK I have to admit, when I tell people I meet, that I’m from Pittsburg, they think, Pittsburgh, PA. I also have to add that Terry Bradshaw is my cousin, I really do have a cousin named Terry. They usually tell me I don’t sound like I’m from Pennsylvania. Something to do with my Southern drawl!

Growing up in the country was a lot of fun. My friends and I did a lot of camping, fishing, hunting and swimming in the stock ponds.

I remember one camp out, we were about 15, and we went frog gigging. We brought the frogs back to camp and decided we would have frog legs for supper. We didn’t have any grease so we decided to boil the frog legs. To make a long story short, this was like chewing on a boot.

High school was a fun time, except for the classes and homework assignments. It was here where I picked up the nickname “Burt” while playing foos ball one night. Needless to say the nickname stuck and there are some people that only know me by Burt.

I worked every day after school on our farm, feeding, shredding, hauling hay and mending fences. I rode horses but I really liked motorcycles. I had a Honda Trail 70 and I spent most of my free time riding that around the farm.

I got a Kawasaki 100 when I turned 15. I rode that to school every day, even with a broken foot. That’s another story, maybe I can share that with you one day.

So I graduated high school and now it was time for college. I didn’t want to go, but I did. I had been reading the guru books since I was 16 and I knew there was a better way.

I quit college, got a JOB.

I went to work at a power plant making electricity. After a few months of this , I started thinking, is this really what I want to do the rest of my life.

Nope, Quit My JOB – Went Back To College!

Graduated college, I actually made it on two of the deans’ list. This is something my sister can’t say, she only made the good one. HA. I didn’t like the classes or the assignments, but I got through it. I even found the library my second or third year there.

I had several jobs after college. They all started out fantastic, but soon became dull and seemed to be a dead end street. I know that alarm clock sure has a way of taking the smile out of your day.

There Has To Be More To Life Than This.

I started searching, reading books, and answering opportunity ads. I really thought I was on to something when I discovered the chain letter deal. Well, I got a real nice note form the Postmaster General asking me to please stop doing that.

Along Came Two Guys In Suits And Ties.

They asked me if I ever looked at other ways to make money. Soon after that we were having a hugh dream building session. Next they showed me the plan. They were drawing circles all over a white board. I Was Excited!

I bought the kit. Now I am in Amway, but I can’t tell anybody what it is. Everybody knew I was up to something, because I was in a suit and tie instead of the normal shorts and flip-flops. I made the “list” and soon became a full fledged member of the NFL Club, yep N o F riends L eft.

Amway was one of the best resources for information I had ever seen. Books, tapes, and lots of people just like me.

I got a divorce.

Actually, I got two , my wife and Amway.

I still had a DREAM. I didn’t give up on me. I kept reading and listening to tapes. I started searching and answered several opportunity ads. I met Chuck Lewis, a true mentor. We hit it off from the get-go. I was making money and things started looking up. We were designing flyers, post cards and full page ads to get people in Gold Unlimited.

Chuck called while I was on vacation. Gold Unlimited was having trouble with their doors. The government put locks on them and froze their assets. That last check I got was worthless. That’s twice the government tried to stop me from being successful.

Now What?

Chuck and I ventured into some other companies but they either dried up or the owners left town with all the cash. Chuck and I parted ways but still remain friends to this day.

I joined Herbalife and had some success with that, but I just couldn’t get passionate about pills and potions.

Late night T.V. introduced me to the infomercial world and Carlton Sheets. Carlton is going to teach me how to be a real estate magnet. I did buy some houses and I still have rental property today.

I got married and we built our dream home on our 54 acre farm. We have all kinds of animals running around. Cows, a donkey, a cat, three dogs, some chickens and a lama. I gave the lama to my wife for our wedding anniversary. Luckily that wasn’t the only thing I got her.

That little voice is still in my head – be your own boss. I got in and out of a few more deals as time went by. It seemed like something was always missing.

Finally, I Hollered “Uncle” - I’m Done With MLM!

I found a guy named Ken Roberts wearing a white cowboy hat that could make me rich with commodities. This is where I learned why they call those guys “brokers”. They help you get “broker” or at least they did me. Heck, if these guys are so smart, why do they have a JOB?

A Red Cow Gave Me Wings and a Broke Neck!

After the helicopter ride to the hospital, I was off work for several months. I had time to think, study, read, listen to tapes and search the internet.

I was ready and the teacher appeared.

After hours and hours of searching, reviewing the internet, and talking to several potential mentors, some real and some just wanted my credit card. I found a mentor that actually wanted to help me succeed.

I found my roadmap, now I needed a vehicle to take me on my journey to becoming a successful business owner.

Find something you love and you will never work a day in your life.

My passion, what is it that I really, really love to do. I really like meeting people and traveling the world. That is my goal. To make a positive difference in as many lives as I can and to be a world traveler.

Add me as your friend today!

Richard
