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.

Our kiddos are losing their ability to be creative.

(I hope we catch it before it's too late)

99% of what makes us human can’t be automated.

And in today’s AI-driven world, that matters more than ever.

We’re raising kids who can swipe before they can speak…
- But can they connect?
- Can they think creatively?
- Can they build relationships that last?

We can’t let screens replace the skills that build real lives.

When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, we made forts and out of picnic tables in the dirt.

We had to use our imagination with rocks and sticks and some plastic toys.

I'm not saying it was perfect and it would have been cool to have some of the technologies today, but we learned to be creative.

Then Atari came out, and then Nintendo, and then Apple, and the Commodore 64... 

Anyway... here we are in a new age. 

And, it's amazing! 

But have our kiddos lost their ability to be human?
To create something out of nothing?
To use their imagination?

Here’s what matters (to me) more than any device: 👇 

1/ Curiosity
 ↳ Ask questions
 ↳ Explore the world with them
 ↳ Let their imagination take the lead

2/ Creativity
 ↳ Give them space to build, draw, dream, make a mess
 ↳ Limitless ideas come from unstructured time, not algorithmic suggestions

3/ Connection
 ↳ Teach them to look people in the eye
 ↳ Show them how to listen, empathize, and be present

4/ Real-World Problem Solving
 ↳ Life happens off the screen
 ↳ Let them struggle, try, fail, retry, that’s how confidence is built

5/ Human Values
 ↳ Kindness
 ↳ Integrity
 ↳ Love

These never go out of style, no matter how advanced the tech gets

AI is powerful.
But humanness is irreplaceable.

If we want our kiddos to thrive…
We need to teach them what machines can’t do.

Love. Create. Explore.

What do you think?
Have our kiddos lost their ability to create?

#leadership #mentalhealth #consistency #burnout #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.

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. 

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

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?

Why Growth-Minded Leaders Win in the Long Run

(While Fixed Thinkers Stay Stuck)

A recent Harvard Business Review study shows that teams led by growth-minded leaders perform 25% better and are twice as engaged.

Translation?

A fixed mindset doesn’t just block progress, it repels it. ❌ 

Whereas a growth mindset?

It compounds. 💪 

It transforms: 👇🏼
 ↳ Pressure into performance
 ↳ Unknowns into innovation
 ↳ Setbacks into strategy

Here are 7 core differences between the two: 👇🏼
(And, why it matters) 

🧠 Perspective on Uncertainty

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Avoids ambiguity. Needs guarantees before acting.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Leans into uncertainty and makes decisions with incomplete information.

Why Growth?
 ↳ Growth leaders know clarity often follows action, not the other way around.

🧠 Definition of Success

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Success = always being right.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Success = learning, evolving, and getting better.

Why Growth?
 ↳ The pursuit of mastery beats the illusion of perfection.

🧠 Risk Tolerance

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Overanalyzes and hesitates, fearful of mistakes.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Takes calculated risks, knowing failure is part of the equation.

Why Growth?
 ↳ Without risk, there is no reward. Innovation only happens outside the comfort zone.

🧠 Focus in Tough Times

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Gets distracted by problems.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Stays focused on the solution.

Why Growth?
 ↳ When storms hit, mindset determines whether you sink or adapt and sail forward.

🧠 Handling Other People’s Success

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Feels threatened or inferior.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Feels inspired and motivated by others’ wins.

Why Growth?
 ↳ A rising tide lifts all boats, envy kills momentum, admiration builds it.

🧠 Openness to New Ideas

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Clings to what’s familiar and proven.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Actively seeks new input, even if it contradicts old beliefs.

Why Growth?
 ↳ Stagnation starts when learning stops. Innovation begins where ego ends.

🧠 Mentorship & Leadership

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Hoards knowledge to stay ahead.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Shares knowledge to lift others.

Why Growth?
 ↳ Leaders who teach, scale. Leaders who gatekeep, stall.

Do you have a growth mindset?

#leadership #mentalhealth #burnout #entrepreneurship

We don’t build our future in the future.

(I hope they teach this in school)

We build it in the quiet choices we make today.
- Good or bad.
- Like it or not.

I learned that the hard way.
In my early twenties, I chose the easy path.
Drugs and alcohol
Comfort food.
No exercise.
No real goals.
Late nights.
Numbing out.
Telling myself I’d get it together “soon.”

I wasn’t thinking long term.
I was thinking about the next hit of comfort.
The next distraction.
The next excuse.

And life got hard.
Really hard.

My finances suffered.
My health declined.
My relationships fell apart.
My confidence vanished.

Every easy choice came back with interest.
The kind you don’t want to pay.

It took years to climb out of that hole.
One honest step at a time.
One day at a time.
One decision at a time.

Choosing water over alcohol.
Choosing exercise over excuses.
Choosing coaching and inner work over autopilot.
Choosing to build a life instead of hide from one.

Hard choices.
Repeated daily.
Quietly.
Without applause.

But that’s when everything began to change.
That’s when I learned what the science already knew.
The brain is always shaping itself.
Always learning from what you do now.
Always preparing you for the future you are creating.

We think we judge our lives by big moments.
We don’t.

We judge them by the habits we repeat.

If you feel stuck right now, remember:
Discomfort is not a sign you’re failing.
It’s a sign you’re choosing a different future.

Every disciplined choice rewires your brain.
Even when the progress is invisible.

What feels hard today becomes your strength tomorrow.
IF you keep going.

I’m living proof that you can choose easy now and pay for it later.
And I’m living proof that you can turn it around.
With work.
With sacrifice.
With better choices made consistently.

You’re not trapped.
You’re in the middle of  BECOMING.

Just keep going... it will make sense later.

If you're looking for that high level peer support to help you make those moves, I created The Elite Leaders.

Helping Founders Scale, Prepare, and Exit | Value & Profit Growth | Live Streaming Business Development | Buying & Selling Businesses | Chief Exit Officer | LinkedIn Live Stream Host

Running a business was supposed to give you more freedom, not take it away.

But somewhere along the way, growth slowed. The work got heavier. You’re buried in day-to-day decisions, your team is busy, but results aren’t where they should be. Instead of scaling, it feels like you’re stuck.

That’s not failure. That’s a business plateau. And it’s more common than most business owners are willing to admit.

I help fix that.

For more than 25 years, I’ve worked with owners and leadership teams in manufacturing, ecommerce, and B2B services to help them grow businesses that run better, generate more value, and eventually become sellable when the time is right.

Through Exit Your Way, I guide B2B companies to build systems, elevate teams, and create exit options, even if they don’t plan to sell for years. Through our work at B2Btail with the Digital Game Plan strategy development/execution process, we help companies stop being the best kept secret by creating marketing foundations that attract their ideal customers and position them for long-term success.

My focus is simple: helping you build a business that works, whether you’re in the room or not.

Common challenges I help solve:

Low visibility: Your best customers don’t know you exist. We fix that by aligning messaging, strategy, and marketing assets to bring them to you.

Owner overload: If everything depends on you, growth hits a wall. We help build teams and systems that keep moving, even when you step away.

Exit confusion: You want out someday, but the path forward is unclear. We build companies buyers want and owners are proud of.

When it works, here’s what changes:

Customers find you because your message finally speaks their language

Your team handles the day-to-day, freeing you to focus on higher-value work

You move from reacting to leading, and from being stuck to scaling intentionally

I’ve built and sold companies, led investor-backed teams, and helped founders grow from $5 million to $30 million and beyond. I bring the tools, perspective, and calm needed to lead through messy growth and prepare for clean, profitable exits.

But this isn’t just about growth or selling. It’s about control over your time, your team, your income, and your future.

If you’re ready to lead again instead of constantly catching up, I’d be glad to talk.

Your customer is the hero.

You’re the guide.

Remember that to earn trust and drive sales.

Most businesses position themselves as the hero:

🔷We do this.

🔷We built that.

🔷We’ve been around since…

But your customer doesn’t care about your story…

They care about how you help them succeed.

When you make them the hero in your messaging:

🔥Your story supports theirs

🔥You become a trusted guide

🔥Your brand becomes magnetic

When you clearly help people understand how you might help them succeed your messaging resonates more clearly.


⚡Show people how things will be better working with you! ⚡


How would your messaging change if it was all about your customer’s success?


⭐ Helping owners grow their businesses with coaching, training, systems, and a supportive community. ⭐
