I Enjoy Working With: People who want to get the chains (of mediocrity) off. People who want more freedom in their life. Parents who want to see their kids more. Burned out professionals who want a higher quality of life. Young entrepreneurs who aspire to be successful. People who want to retire sooner and with more money. Especially Entrepeneurs, Leaders, Business Owners and Professionals.

I Relax By: Walking outdoors. Traveling the world with my family. Swimming in the ocean. Full body massages on the beach.

I Keep in Shape By: Being an active Dad. Walking, running, bicycling and swimming. I am a vegetarian. I avoid dairy, high fructose corn syrup and fluoride.

Favorite Part of My Business: Inspiring people to live their life by design (set dated goals) and encouraging them to persist until they succeed.

Least Favorite Part of My Business: Working with people who say they are going to do something and then do nothing. People who make excuses. Pessimists.

Favorite Quote:
"You never work for somebody else. Someone else might sign your check, but you're the one who fills in the amount." - Zig Ziglar

Person Who Most Influenced My Life: My Dad (JD Denniston). He had a passion for helping others. He was devoted and always followed-through on his word. The original "serial entrepreneur." He taught me that passive income will set you free. If you want more in life, work SMARTER, not harder! Don't let small-minded people stand in your way. Surround yourself with BIG thinkers who serve you by encouraging you to set goals and who hold you accountable.

Secrets of Business Growth: Keep it simple so people can duplicate what you do. If an 8-year old child can't do it, don't teach it. Make sure everyone on your team is using and teaching the same unified duplicatable training system. There is strength in unity. Recognize people publicly for what they do and remember, giving starts the receiving process!

How Others Describe Me: Wise, Inspirational, Driven, Focused, Supportive, Passionate. If you aren't passionate about what you do then find something you are passionate about. Don't worry about the money, if you focus on doing what you love the money will follow.

Who I Admire: I admire people who accept responsibility for their life. People who design their life and work toward their own goals instead of surrendering to someone else's. If you are in need of mentorship I am here. You can live the life you dream about, just get started!

Most Effective Prospecting Tools Recommended: iPhone, Contact Buddy and SendOutCards. Business is about relationships. It is through these relationships that people grow to know, like and trust us. When you earn a person's trust, they are comfortable doing business with you and if you treat them right, they will reward you with repeat business and referrals! Giving starts the receiving process. What do you give people to earn their trust? Do you give them value? What reasons do you give them to do business with you instead of your competition? Most importantly, how do you make them FEEL? I recommend interacting with your current and future clients on FaceBook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.
