“The Good Fighters Of Old First Put Themselves Beyond The Possibility Of Defeat, And Then Waited For An Opportunity To Defeat The Enemy.” - Sun Tzu

Keith Dennis is an entrepreneurial success story but it wasn’t always that way. Being in business for yourself has major ups and downs. The right path isn’t always clear. You win some and you lose some but most of all you enjoy the journey.

The Beginning

Keith started his journey in investing in the year 2000. If you remember, that was the year the “tech” bubble popped! He had all year of amazing returns and then poof! They were all gone and turned into losses. The major investment firm he was with hadn’t taught him or any other of their employees how to make investments safe and secure. In fact, most of them don’t! He didn’t learn how to protect IRA income and other assets while still getting close to market returns until a few years later on his own through a few years of research.

Those Were Some Rough Years

The market did come back a little but coming back only means recovering some of the losses of 2000 and not actually making money. Interest rates had also been dropped off of a cliff and it was almost impossible to use fixed income for income. With the market too volatile to risk retirement money and interest rates too low to worth the effort, Keith started looking for other ways to earn income for clients and take care of them in the best way possible.

The kicker was that when he found a better investment, his company wouldn’t let him use it! Why?? Their official stance was that they didn’t think it was right for their clients’ investments. Keith holds that the real reason was because of their conflicts of interest and kick backs from the companies they recommended. He couldn’t recommend the “better” investment for the client because the firm made less money, bottom line. That being said, no way was he going to stick around and play games with a client’s life savings and nest egg. If the firm wouldn’t let him use what was best for the client he was out of there!

Out Of There!!

He ran into the same problems at a couple of other major firms before launching his own company in 2005 which is now called Dennis Investments, Inc. where he helps those that are close to retirement and currently in retirement protect their nest eggs and IRA Income generating assets.

Keith believes that protecting your income generating assets should #1 priority and they should never be at risk of loss or at risk of your income dropping because of rates. Sun Tzu’s quote above best describes his investing philosophy. Beyond defeat is protecting your income generating assets so that you never have to worry about your how you will take care of yourself and your family in retirement. Annuities are the best way for most people. No worries of going back to work, the stock market roller coaster, or interest rate cliffs dives ever again. The enemy is failing at retirement, which means going back to work or sometimes even worse.

One More Step

Unfortunately Keith was finding that there wasn’t much he could do for investors that didn’t save enough money for retirement. There just isn’t a way to create a lasting IRA income if there isn’t enough investment money to begin with. Annuities do not work for people without money to begin with. He started looking at different ideas to help those people make more money in retirement without going in and punching a typical time clock. What he found was amazing but not at first. You have to go through the bad ideas to get to a good idea.

A Great Idea!

Keith started his network marketing business in the hopes that he could help retirees and those close to retirement earn more money to retirement safely and stay in retirement. What he didn’t know at the time was that he could help people create an income stream so that they could retire at any age! And it had nothing to do with investments and how much you had made or lost. If you were 40 and had built your business well enough you could retire then! It works for any age including retirees!

Keith was so excited he started building his own business as well as helping other people. What he found was that some people did great and had success quickly and some didn’t. After diving into the problem he found it was a lead problem, not enough people to talk to. Those that knew lots of people and were social did well and those that didn’t and weren’t social didn’t do so well. Frustrated he decided to find a way to help those people succeed as well.
