– 2 hours of learning followed by an hour of doing beats 3 hours of doing.
– If you have to say you’re an influencer, successful, honest, or whatever– you’re probably not.
– Things are never as bad, or as good, as they seem, at the moment– so slow down a bit.
– Why do people buy? There’s the “real” reason and socially acceptable reason. Appeal to the emotion first, then the logic.
– Successful companies are based on teams, not heroes. If you are growing your business, do you have a partner and several mentors?
– The “secret” of Facebook ads or the newsfeed algorithm is not a magic formula, but mastery of the fundamentals– goals, content, targeting.
– If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then a video is worth 1,000 pictures and 1,000,000 words. Make one-minute videos the heart of your marketing strategy by organizing your people and the process around it.
– Having a few high-quality friends is worth more than “knowing” everyone out there.
– Most people are struggling on the inside, but put on a good face– so be nice whenever you can.
– Occam’s Razor is a good lie detector and problem troubleshooter– the simplest explanation is usually the most likely.
– Dunning-Kruger variation– those who talk the most, know the least. The best people to know are not the most famous ones unless your goal is to be famous.
– I’ve gotten more stuff done by sleeping 7 hours each night than “hustling”. That hour of clear thinking is worth 5 hours of tired, mistake-ridden zig-zagging. I justify working out as a business investment in my mind.
– It’s okay to say NO– you don’t owe anyone your time. And without a filter, you can’t really say YES to what matters. Mari Smith taught me to say NO to anything that wasn’t a heck yes.
– Don’t confuse motion with progress. I work only 3 hours a day since I need 2 hours to learn and 3 hours to teach (#LDT = learn, do, teach).
– Perhaps the biggest learning– to consciously make time for GRATITUDE at the start and end of each day, to appreciate the awesome people I’ve been taking for granted.
What I've learned about entrepreneurship and getting stuff done
I'm a member of Blitzmetrics Academy and a friend of Dennis to boot. Not only is Dennis highly intelligent and full of great and creative ideas, he's also incredibly generous with both his knowledge and his time. Success couldn't come to a better guy. Thank you for all that you do for the world, Dennis! 🙏

Working with Dennis has been a delightful experience. After meeting him in 2015 I got to collaborate with him on countless occasions. His understanding for state-of-the-art marketing, his implementation, and his leadership put him into the top 0.01% of marketers and mentors.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Dennis for my podcast in 2021 and since then we have maintained a friendship that grows with each interaction. I have seen Dennis' devotion to his friends and clients firsthand, and our conversations often result in us talking about how we can provide more value to the people around us. He is someone whom I can ask questions on a technical level, and look to on a personal level. If you have any hesitancy about hiring him, get over yourself and do it!

Geez, where do I start recommending Dennis? First, he is an absolutely brilliant marketer who understands where marketing is today and where it's going tomorrow. He also has an incredible passion for the International Worker community. The lessons he has taught me from his almost 20 years of experience hiring International Workers have been immense.
Most importantly though. Dennis Yu is someone who wants the absolute best for you and is willing to tell you the truth. Dennis sat with me at a point in my business where I was floundering but did not want to admit it. He asked some very straight forward questions to get me to admit my issues, highlighted the issues, and then helped me create a roadmap to success.
