Richard Pope, Author of The Principles of Prosperity Economics, has a history of success in the Financial and Insurance Industry, specializing in Pension Planning, Business Succession Strategies, Estate and Financial Planning. He began his financial services career as a stockbroker in the mid 1980's with Dean Witter Reynolds. Richard began seeing the unstable atmosphere of the stock market and the narrow focus of the field, deciding early on to make a change. In 1987 Richard formed his own financial group, an independent national firm designed to assist clients in meeting their personal financial goals. Richard worked extensively with accounting firms, law firms, and other professional financial and insurance service firms. He brought innovative new ideas for expanding and enhancing their ability to provide comprehensive and complete services to their clients. Richard met with instant success. In the first year after building his team, the sales force landed 150 new clients-more than doubling the firm's profits.

Richard has continued to develop strategies for Business Succession, Pension & Estate Planning. Richard has been an industry-renowned lecturer at various Bar Associations and Certified Public Accounting Society Association on financial, tax and insurance-related topics.
