Denis Waitley Taught Individuals How to Win in all Areas of their Lives

I’ll never forget my struggle to break free from an impoverished, scarcity mindset into an abundant, joyful lifestyle. I grew up in a low-income, wartime environment during World War II and the Korean War. While my father was away on the front lines, my mother worked in a factory. My parents later divorced, and I felt inadequate and mediocre at best.

Believing we would always be at war, I graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and pursued a career as a naval aviator. Deep inside, I wanted to help people grow, rather than remain a warrior. I left the Navy and embarked on a 10-year self-discovery journey, learning from the world’s greatest thought leaders.
