Elevate your career with these 3 types of business relationships
EMPLOYEE: Hired hand, lowest value, does what they’re told, low loyalty, easy to scale, pay for continued results.
PARTNER: Higher skill level, Shared mission, medium commitment, must negotiate, potentially high impact.
MENTOR: highest skill level, no cost because they believe in you, greatest impact.
Use the right relationship type for the right situation:
*** If you need EFFICIENCY, hire employees. Checklists drive repeatable excellence. Get out of working in your business, so you can work on your business.
*** If you need SCALE– to multiply business results, find a partner. They will give you distribution and authority.
*** If you need DIRECTION, get a MENTOR first. Do this before you hire employees or find partners. Direction is more important than speed. Wise counsel ensures you have a solid strategy.
All three types require that you establish clear mutual benefit.
Do you have the right mix of employees, partners, and mentors?
Do you need help in any of these areas to drive efficiency, scale, or direction?

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.
