About Jinny Ditzler

Jinny Ditzler, the creator of Best Year Yet has been teaching people to break out of their comfort zones to produce extraordinary results for more than 30 years. From her early years as a high school teacher, and later as an entrepreneur running two Montessori daycare/learning centers, to her years coaching corporate executives and their teams, Jinny's vision and passion have always been focused not just on achieving goals, but on transforming lives and businesses!

Jinny's philosophy--the one that led her to develop this brilliantly simple Best Year Yet process--is summed up in this statement:

"More than anything, Best Year Yet is about starting to believe in yourself again, and becoming much tougher in the face of life's biggest challenges. The approach helps you to use your common sense and intelligence in new ways to create a happier life for yourself."

And Jinny is a "product of the product" she's been touting for more than 25 years. She and husband Tim Ditzler have used the BYY principles to build both their company and their lives. They share a beautiful home in Aspen, Colorado. Jinny enjoys their two sons and their wives and and two beautiful granddaughters. When she has a spare minute she loves reading, hiking, knitting, cooking ...and all things Italian!

About Tim Ditzler

Tim Ditzler, Director of Franchise Sales and Development for BYY, is a man of diverse talents and interests. But one thing that never varies is his passion. As a former owner of an international business based in the UK, Tim's passion helped him create one of the UK's leading direct marketing companies, with clients that included such international media giants as Time Inc., Fortune, The Economist, Newsweek, Wall Street Journal, and numerous financial institutions.

After 16 years, Tim sold his business to devote full-time to his passion: helping his wife Jinny develop Best Year Yet into an international franchise operation with partners in some 20 US states and 13 foreign countries.

Tim also brings his passion and energy to non-profit and community endeavors. As a full-time resident of Aspen, Colorado, he is active in Rotary International. In 2004 Tim is serving as "Head Duck", responsible for organizing his local Rotary club's annual Ducky Derby, a fund-raising event that generates nearly $100,000 for local youth organizations.

Among this "Renaissance man's" other interests are: reading, thinking, gardening and Buddhism. Oh, and did I mention that he sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1978 - from Boston to Gibraltar -- in a 22-foot sailboat with his friend Tom and his cat "Able Seaman" after a total of one sailing lesson! Tim one day plans to write a book about his amazing adventure.

In the meantime, he continues to support wife Jinny as they continue their greatest adventure yet: developing Best Year Yet into a global company that is making a world of difference to individuals and organizations!
