Being home schooled on boats in the Florida Keys, and then moving all the way up to Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands for high school was a shock for a young man. Dean was pretty wild in high school. He loved sports, entertaining and throwing parties; but on the flip side, by his senior year and entering college, when most of his friends were escaping their parents and cutting lose, Dean was starting his own restaurant and making music videos.
So when approached by an attorney, Mark Boyson, to talk about some business opportunity, Dean was ready. “I didn’t know if I could build this business, or more important if I knew enough people to make it. After seeing Brad Duncan show the plan however, I realized my success would come through my ability to plug into the WorldWide system and all the new mentors available to me in my upline. The 2-5 years were going to pass by anyway, and I had no better place to spend them. I had to realize being single was going to make this journey easier, not harder, and to stop using it as a crutch. Some of the fastest Emeralds and Diamonds had been single. What kept shining through was that people here were very successful and also had a lot of fun.”
One and one-half years into the business, Dean achieved Silver, and then 2 months later the Ruby level, then into Emerald qualification. As you can imagine, this was a whirlwind of excitement and growth.
Freedom at such a young age is surreal, but real it is. "My business affiliate with Quixtar and the World Wide support system have improved things so much, I can honestly say it’s a better deal now then when I first got in." In the last 2 years, Dean’s business has grown more than ever. For Dean this business has become a family affair; his parents are Platinums, and his younger brother & sister-in-law are Rubies.
What motivates Dean is freedom. The freedom to raise his daughter, Teagan, as a single parent. He’s teaching his daughter that nothing compares to being around a dreamer. “Our motto is, I help big people, she helps little people.”
Some of Dean’s dreams and plans for the future include making movies, funding music studios, taking adventures, playing in Barcelona Spain and sitting on the fan tail of a yacht in Monte Carlo. He’s excited to have the ability to show young children and adults that the artificial highs available today cannot compete with the natural highs that come from a dream and truly exploring your world and life. These are just some of the dreams and causes that Dean visualizes and believes in.
WorldWide has a fabulous mentorship program in place, with people that have proven track record of achieving significant results. It’s rare to meet someone that has hit a home run financially and even rarer if that person also has control of time. Dean knows that anyone can be a superstar in this business and make a difference, not just a living.
That’s why today, Dean follows in the footsteps of his upline, tackling the process of breaking Emeralds and Diamonds. There’s nothing quite like helping people reach their financial dreams. “I want people to play with, and right now most people’s ability to do good is currently being dictated by a lack of time or money. This is the most fun, flexible, exit-strategy you will ever find. What could be better than 100% ownership with help?”
A lot of people have the heart of a champion but haven’t found a way to put it into action in their own lives. Freedom is real and walking through the doorway is up to each person, but with this Internet based business opportunity, champions are offered a way to win.
Dean would like to thank his line of sponsorship, who have all mentored Dean throughout his journey; his sponsors Mark & Barb Boyson, upline Emeralds Ron & Marcie DuBrow, and Diamonds David & Debbie Shores. “The bottom line is this business has worked for me. It’s the most level playing field I’ve ever seen, but you must have the courage to launch. It’s a common trait among all great leaders.”
The slogan in his group is “I go, you go. I went Diamond, you go Diamond.”
