"Bouncing Back Fast – Changing your Life at the Speed of Thought"

All success is non-linear: Personal and professional success is often accompanied by setbacks. Your speed to success is often dependent on how quickly you can adapt. Overcoming obstacles great or small, is usually not a matter of intelligence or resources. It begins with maintaining Optimism and having a Resilient Mindset.

But how do you get it? Where does it come from? The simple fact is that this skill can be taught and learned so everyone can respond better when facing adversity.

Here’s what we are going to cover:

• The critical importance of focus
• How to identify the limiting elements to change
• How your nervous system determines your ability achieve anything
• The 1 thing you must avoid if you want to achieve dramatic results quickly
• The 3 critical elements of success in ANY field

In addition to chiropractic care, he discovered a passion for teaching others to become healthier and more successful in all areas of their lives. To that end, he started his first training company, Total Health Training in 2005.

His skills and experiences made him a natural fit to become an International Master Trainer for Peak Potentials and Success Resources, two of the largest personal development companies across the globe.

As a way of continuing to share his insights on the ability of anyone to change for the better, Dennis authored his first book “Turning Terrible into Terrific” which debuted as a #1 Best Seller.

According to Dennis, the reason most people have not reached the level of success and fulfillment they desire in their lives is because they “work too hard” at it. The key to being successful and happy at life is not to work harder but to work smarter. To that end he teaches others how to accelerate their path to success thought the use of more effective communication and financial strategies.
