the secret is YOU: How I Empowered 250,000 Women to Find Their Passion and Change Their Lives
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 kin d, while also sharing his innovative approach for empowering women to become successful entrepreneurs themselves.
