Deciding to skip business school to start a gym in 2013 changed my life forever. 

Here’s what happened next: 

2013: Launched United Fitness in Huntington Beach, CA, and grew to 6 locations

2016: Founded Gym Launch and switched from privately owning gyms to doing in-person turnarounds

2017: We transitioned from in-person turnarounds to a licensing business and helped over 4500+ facilities transform their businesses.

2019: Our supplement company, Prestige Labs, launched to help those gyms create another profit center and provide their customers with high-quality nutritional products.

2020: Started ALAN, a software company that helps brick-and-mortar businesses get twice as many people in the door on average for one-third the price of a front desk admin.

2020: Founded Acquisition.com, to invest in and help grow companies. Made our first 3 investments.

2021: We sold our majority shares of ALAN to a strategic partner and a 66% stake in Gym Launch and Prestige Labs to American Pacific Group.

It’s been a ride.

Today, through Acquisition.com we participate as minority or majority partners and use the same models that helped scale each of our companies.

I will die on this hill...

Friends should be willing to pay to support a friend's business rather than asking for a discount.

Everyone could use more support. Don't ask for a discount, buy their product, and leave a positive review. 

Real friends don't ask for "friends and family discounts" - agree?

If you can be in a bad mood for no reason... 


You might as well be in a good mood for no reason. 


Being easy to work with and being in a good mood is such an underrated skill that employees/managers/leaders don't think about enough.

You don't need a mentor.
What you need instead is to:


1. Fire yourself up.
2. Create your own deadlines.
3. Hold yourself accountable.
4. Do more than anyone asked you to make yourself proud.
5. If you're waiting for someone to believe in you, start with yourself.

People underestimate how much brute force you have to use to will your goals into existence.

Reality and perspective check.

 
Also... the platforms you get 300 views on are free.


You don't need millions of views. You need the right views aka the right customers.

Everything that was once hard.
With enough repetition.
Becomes boring.

- Alex ✊🏽

You feel behind because you’re in a rush. 
You’re in a rush because you feel behind. 
You feel behind because you're in a different season than the people you're comparing yourself to. 

You're not behind. 
You're just early.
You're on your own timeline.

Beating 99% of people is simple but not easy.



1. Show up early. 
2. Prepare the day before. 
3. Remember everyone's name. 
4. Say no to opportunities that don't bring value. 
5. Follow up quickly. 
6. Follow up multiple times. 
7. Deliver value at every interaction. 
8. Never make the same mistake twice. 



It's all about doing the basics at scale consistently that makes you advanced. There is no magic potion.

Hard times don't last forever.
There are only three outcomes.


1. You quit
2. It gets easier
3. You get better


But no matter what, they end. Life is just hard, sometimes. 


You have tough seasons. Bad losses. 


And what makes it harder is you don’t know when it’ll end.


But know - it will end.


For anyone going through it right now... 


You do the only thing you can do, keep fighting.


- Alex ✊🏽

The difference between $100,000 a day vs $100,000 a year. 
It is simpler than you think. 

People who make six figures a day are willing to: 

1. Look stupid no matter what anyone else thinks. 
2. Take risks that not many are willing to take. 
3. Outreach and ask an unlimited amount of people to get what they want. 

I'm convinced that the first principle of building wealth is disregarding the opinions of others who don't have "it" but telling you that you're doing it wrong. The difference is simple, not easy.

Your 9 to 5 is not killing your dreams. 
You wasting your 5 to 9 is. 

Best job to have when going after your dreams is the one where you get 129 days a year off to pursue your dreams with full-time pay. Oh yeah, that’s every 9-5 job. Analyze every minute of your life outside of your 9-5 and see where your energy is going. THAT will determine and show you how much your actions are matching your aspirations.

your 9 to 5

Richer people won't judge you for saving your money.
Fitter people won't judge you for cutting your calories. 
Higher-status people won't judge you for being obsessed over your goals. 

It's the people who are going nowhere who have the most to say because they have nothing to do. Never let unaccomplished people, judge your accomplishments.

People fail because they want a dream girl without going on 100 bad dates. 


People fail because they want a dream customer without 100 bad leads. 


People fail because they want a dream body without 100 bad workouts. 


If necessity is the mother of invention, repetition is the father of results. 


- Alex ✊🏽

Anyone can get rich…


As long as you’re willing to make no money for a long period of time while you work to get good enough to get rich fast.

There is only one thing in life that is 100x worse than your enemies. 


By far, bad friends are 100x more dangerous than enemies. Not even close. 


It's better to be alone than to be around people who secretly hope you fail.

Decisions that can change your life:



1. Sticking to anything daily for an entire year
2. Moving cities
3. Upgrading romantic partners
4. Eliminating drinking & drugs
5. Saying no to *shiny objects*
6. Going to bed at 9pm daily



If you don't like where you're at, try one.
Life can change fast. Change is scary. But so is regret.
The life you live depends on the one you fear more.

One year from now you won't remember:  



Who got the fanciest car. 
How good your junk food was. 
Who won the football game. 
What you talked about at the club. 

But you will remember what it was like to not hit your goals... again.

The #1 LinkedIn community & program for personal brand builders.

Founder & CEO

Dennis Berry Coaching

In 2000, I was a sales leader at Sysco Denver and noticed that my Regional Sales Managers had nice big offices and pictures of fishing and beaches on their wall.


▪️ I was making about $80k working 60 hours
▪️ They made $200k working only 30 hours
▪️ And, Sysco was a $30B company


I realized then that I if I was going to put in the blood, sweat and tears, I wanted beach pictures and to make more of the $30B.

So, my entrepreneurial adventures began.


Over the last 24 years I have been part of many business ventures including building and scaling 2 multimillion dollar businesses.


One was a rare coin and precious metals business which I scaled from $0 to $3M in ARR with 25% net profit margins in less than 18 months.


The second is my current coaching business which has taken many twists and turns over the last 20 years.


I started as an addiction recovery coach in coffee shops and shared office spaces, and has since evolved to a multi-revenue-stream operation.


In 2022, I realized that Linkedin is more than just a posting or job site so I did A LOT of research and decided to go all in on building my personal brand and audience here on this platform.


▪️ In February, 2023 I had 1500 followers
▪️ In April, 2024 I have 115,000 followers
▪️ I have over 100k newsletter subscribers
▪️ I run multiple business network groups
▪️ I live on the beach in Playa Del Carmen
▪️ I own a marketing/web dev. company
▪️ I increased my revenue by over 500%
▪️ I offer Linkedin Influencer coaching
▪️ I build Epic Brands and Businesses
▪️ I have a Business SKOOL group

If you're interested in learning how I did this, we can set up a call to see if 1-1 OR group coaching is a good fit for you to build/scale a stable profitable online business.

After building a $3M business the hard way (think 16-hour days and endless stress), I learned success shouldn't cost your soul. 

My journey started rough: a former ski racer turned chef, battling addiction by 15, and spending 15 years using substances to mask deeper struggles.

Getting sober led me to "safety" - a corporate job at Sysco making $80K. 

But trading 60-hour weeks for someone else's dream wasn't freedom. 

I built up the courage to quit and launched a rare coin business, scaling it to $3M in annual revenue with 25% profit margins in just 18 months. 

The money was good, but the cost was crushing.

16-hour days, constant stress, and fear about where the next lead would come from.

The wake-up call? 

Rolling my truck at 75mph after a night of heavy drinking. 

I survived, barely. 

That's when I knew something had to change.

Enter LinkedIn. 

While others chased leads through cold calls and expensive ads, I discovered what elite entrepreneurs already knew.

Personal branding is the ultimate client magnet. 

I transformed my approach, and everything shifted.

Within a year, I built a 150,000+ following and a 7-figure coaching business - all through organic LinkedIn growth. 

Now I work 4-hour days from Playa del Carmen, with a steady stream of inbound leads.

But here's what really lights me up: I've helped hundreds of others achieve the same transformation. 

The truth? LinkedIn isn't just a platform - it's a path to the freedom you've been chasing. 

If it could transform my life from rock bottom to abundance, imagine what it could do for you.

Love always,
D.

99% of people want the results.

1% are willing to do the work. 🔥 

Everyone talks about becoming the best in their industry.
 
Very few actually show up long enough to earn it.

Most people chase shortcuts.
 - They jump from strategy to strategy.
 - They quit when it gets slow.
 - They disappear when it stops feeling exciting.

But here’s the truth: 👇 
The 1% are not more talented.
They are simply more consistent.

These 5 habits separate contenders from pretenders:

1/ Show Up Every Day
 ↳ Even when you’re tired
 ↳ Even when it’s boring
 ↳ Success is boring before it becomes rewarding

2/ Stay Resilient When It Gets Hard
 ↳ Setbacks are not signs to stop
 ↳ They’re invitations to level up

3/ Be Relentlessly Persistent
 ↳ Keep going long after others tap out
 ↳ Momentum is built one ordinary day at a time

4/ Do What Others Avoid
 ↳ Hard conversations
 ↳ Hard decisions
 ↳ Hard responsibilities
 ↳ Master the tough stuff and you separate fast

5/ Keep Your Eyes on the Long Game
 ↳ No shortcuts
 ↳ No hacks
 ↳ Just disciplined reps that compound over years

If you want to be in the 1%…
Earn it.
Day after day.
When no one’s clapping.

Are you putting in the work to get the rewards?

#burnout #emotionalintelligence #leadership #focus #entrepreneurship

Neuroscience and Business Development Coach for High Performing Leaders with Burnout or Addictions. Turn Your Chaos into Clarity. CEO, Epic Entrepreneur Media. Founder, Elite Leaders Network.

Most people think success comes from grinding harder.

BUT, TRUE success starts with creativity.

Creativity is the spark behind every great idea, innovation, and breakthrough.

It’s not just painting, writing, or music 🎶 

It’s how you solve problems, lead people, and design your life.

It’s the ability to see connections others miss.
To trust your intuition when logic falls short.

When we lose touch with our creativity, we lose our flow.

We start living in our heads instead of from our hearts.
We trade curiosity for control.

And that’s when life starts to feel heavy and forced. 😢 

Flow isn’t something you chase...
It’s something you allow. 🧘 

It happens when you’re fully engaged, creating, learning, exploring.

When you stop performing and start expressing. 🎨 

Because when you tap into your creative energy, you stop chasing and start aligning.

- Your work feels lighter.
- Your relationships feel deeper.
- And life starts to flow through you, not at you.

Want inner peace?
Want real success?
Reconnect with what makes you come alive.
 
That’s where flow begins... and where freedom lives. ☮️ 

Are you tapping into your creativity?

PS. If you're looking for high level peer support from burnout or your next big business move, I created The Elite Leaders Network.

#burnout #emotionalintelligence #leadership #focus #entrepreneurship

Culture isn’t the beach pictures you have on the wall.

(All leaders and entrepreneurs take note!)

It’s how your employees feel on Sunday night about Monday morning.

If they feel dread? That’s culture.☹️
If they feel excitement? That’s culture too.😎

The best leaders know this.

And they build for it... on purpose.🔥


According to Forbes Magazine, 80% of employees feel dread on Sunday night.

Isn't that both a sad and staggering statistic!?!?!


Here are 5 underrated traits of great culture-builders:👇

✅ They keep promises (especially the small ones)
 ↳ Broken trust starts with missed follow-ups
 ↳ When you follow through, people feel valued
 ↳ Reliability is a culture signal

✅ They protect team energy
 ↳ Meetings have a purpose, or they don’t happen
 ↳ They fight burnout like it’s a real threat (because it is)
 ↳ A healthy culture has room to breathe

✅ They give credit loudly, and feedback privately
 ↳ Recognition in public builds pride
 ↳ Corrections in private build respect
 ↳ Nobody likes being shamed in a Slack thread

✅ They embrace conflict, with care
 ↳ Healthy disagreement makes teams smarter
 ↳ They don’t avoid tough conversations
 ↳ But they lead with empathy, not ego

✅ They make space for real life
 ↳ They don’t punish parents for school runs
 ↳ They understand mental health is health
 ↳ Flexibility is more than a policy, it’s a mindset

The truth:👇
 ↳ Culture isn’t what you say it is, it's how THEY feel!

Have you built a healthy culture❓

The first step is always the hardest.

Not the tenth.
Not the hundredth.
The first.
Why?

Because the first step requires courage you haven’t proven yet.

Most people wait for:
↳ Confidence
 ↳ Clarity
 ↳ A perfect plan
 ↳ The “right time”

But none of that shows up until after you move.

Here’s the truth:
Action creates confidence.
 Momentum creates clarity.
 Movement creates opportunity.

These 5 First Steps Matter More Than Perfect Plans:

1/ Start Before You Feel Ready
 ↳ Readiness is a feeling that arrives after you begin
 ↳ If you wait for it, you’ll wait forever

2/ Take One Simple Action
 ↳ Don’t build the whole staircase
 ↳ Just take one step you can’t talk yourself out of

3/ Let Imperfection Be Your Teacher
 ↳ You don’t learn by thinking, you learn by doing
 ↳ Mistakes are just proof you’re in motion

4/ Be Willing to Look New at Something
 ↳ You can’t master what you won’t try
 ↳ Every expert started as a beginner

5/ Keep the Promise You Make to Yourself
 ↳ Self-trust is built one kept promise at a time
 ↳ When you keep showing up, everything changes

Take that first step.
Even if your voice shakes.
 Even if your knees shake.
 Even if your mind tries to talk you out of it.

You'll look back one day
 and wonder why you waited so long.

Authenticity has no competition.

(I wish I learned this when I was a kid)

Most people spend their lives trying (and failing) to win the game everyone else is playing. 😢 

But here’s the secret: 👇 
↳ You escape competition by playing a different game.

One that only you can win!  

When you find something that feels like play to you (but looks like work to others),
you’ve found your zone. 🎯 

↳ That’s your advantage.
↳ That’s your signal.
↳ That’s your edge.

Because when you’re in that flow state:👇 
✔️ Work feels effortless
✔️ Creativity skyrockets
✔️ You stop chasing and start creating

↳ No one can outwork you when you're being you.
↳ No one can copy your energy, your story, your style.

Anyone trying to compete is already behind.
Because there’s only one you.

The real flex ❓ 
Being so authentic there’s no room for comparison.
Just alignment!

Are you being authentic ❓

#leadership #flowstate #focus #business

Most people think leadership is about being in charge.

High performers know better.

Leadership is about how you show up when it counts. 🔥 

And here’s the truth:
↳ There’s not just one way to lead, but the best leaders have one thing in common:
↳ They choose their style with intention. 🎯

Here are 9 leadership styles that show up again and again among high performers:👇 

✅ The Visionary
↳ They don’t just lead teams, they lead movements. 
↳ They make you feel the future before it arrives.

✅ The Coach
↳ Their superpower? 
↳ Spotting potential before you believe in it yourself.

✅ The Pacesetter
↳ They set the bar high and pull others up by being the standard. 
↳ They’re all-in, all the time.

✅ The Empath
↳ They read the room like a novel. 
↳ People follow them because they feel seen.

✅ The Quiet Leader
↳ They don’t need to raise their voice to make an impact. 
↳ Their calm presence is the loudest thing in the room.

✅ The Strategist
↳ They see patterns where others see chaos. 
↳ They play long games, and they win often.

✅ The Servant
↳ They put people first and lead by lifting others. 
↳ They earn loyalty without demanding it.

✅ The Transformer
↳ They don’t fear change... they thrive in it. 
↳ When the rules shift, they stay grounded.

✅ The Democrat
↳ They ask. They listen. 
↳ They build strong decisions through shared ownership.

Great leadership is situational.
But the mindset? That’s always intentional.

Which leadership style are you using?

#leadership #mentalhealth #burnout #entrepreneurship

No one is coming to regulate your emotions for you.

(We should really teach this in school.)

If you're waiting for someone else to:👇
 • Stay calm so you can too
 • De-escalate the tension
 • Say the right words first

You're giving away your power.

And when emotions run high?
That power matters most. 💪 

Here’s the truth: 👇
 ↳ But you can lead with presence.
 ↳ You can’t always control the pressure.
 ↳ EQ isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a toolset.

I’ve helped leaders navigate conflict, chaos, and high-stakes moments.

These 12 phrases help them stay grounded when it counts most: 👇

✔️ “Help me see this from your side.”
✔️ “I want to understand, not just react.”
✔️ “Let’s focus on solving, not shaming.”
✔️ “Let’s not make decisions in this state.”
✔️ “Let’s take a breath before we respond.”
✔️ “I can feel we’re both charged right now.”
✔️ “Can we pause and revisit this in 10 minutes?”
✔️ “Can I share what I’m feeling, without blame?”
✔️ “I don’t have all the answers, but I’m listening.”
✔️ “I’m willing to be wrong—let’s find what’s right.”
✔️ “What outcome would feel good for both of us?”
✔️ “We’re on the same team, even if it doesn’t feel like it.”

These aren’t magic bullets.
But they are anchors.

Because in moments of tension, clarity matters more than control. 🔥 

So ask yourself:

Do you want to win the argument…
or protect the relationship ❓
