Short excerpt of a YouTube video titled "Cheap thinking keeps people stuck." Mark Evans (DM) critiques people who refuse to invest in themselves, using the example of the DM Alliance membership fee ($12,000/year) as a signal of whether someone values themselves and can access relationship capital. A secondary speaker emphasizes that paying can yield broader relationship benefits within the group.
What's interesting to me about all these DM alliance is your group. Are all of our groups that we all belong to and have actually people belong to ours is how many people are not willing to invest in themselves. You know, the DM alliance is $12,000 a year. And I'm like, and it's funny, like, people won't do it. I'm like, you're not worth 12,000. It's not about me. It's not about Josh, not you. It's about you as the investment in yourself. And if you don't think you're worth 12 grand, I genuinely don't want to hang out with you. I have nothing in common. I can't help you because you can't even help yourself. And I'm not saying you have to pay people. But like, I do know that is a sign of success. You can be successful without it. But like, what does that look like? Are you. Do you want to work 12 more year extra years to save 12 grand? Like, it's just so weird. They just don't.
There's so many things with it too that people don't realize. It's it. You talk about relationship capital, that that 12 grand could turn into other relationships within that group, not just you. They don't like if they never meet you, I mean, they'll going to hear you and stuff. But I'm.
The least important in the group if you do it right.
