Hey, it's your boy Mark Evans team here hanging out in beautiful Florida. Many people ask me, what's it take to be successful? Well, I want to take you in.
The day in the life with the dm.
Let's go. Gotta talk to the family every day. Call my dad in the morning, my.
Mom at night, see what's up. Make sure everyone's alive still and kicking. Now it's time to do some content. All right guys, what's up? Good morning. Good morning.
Good morning.
That's right, get your ass up. Guys.
We're sitting here shooting today, going a.
Day in the life of the dm. So what's up atl?
A lot of cool stuff going on.
Thank you for the share, Jason. Thank you guys. Success tip.
You got to get up early.
Been up a little after 4 o', clock, guys. Beautiful day here in Florida.
Harded up, already done the workout, got some good stuff going. And I'm gonna sit down here at the Starbucks here. Get some work done.
Time to focus Operation Get Shit Done. That's right. What you're watching right now, shooting emails out of doing the thing that I hate first. By the way, it's a very big piece. I'm posting content, I'm editing new content for blogs, for a new book. I've coming out for some audio video stuff. Actually stuff that you're watching like this right now. This usually lasts about two or three hours in the state of action. Now it's time to get my juice on. And then what? You're right. Close the deal via phone on the way back to the car. All right, let's roll. Driving to baby swim class.
Got to have the family, the all this stuff. It's about 9:15, 9:30. Well, it's 9:15ish. We're heading over there like I said, to go see the baby and catch a glimpse of that. Then I got a bunch of meetings for the rest of the day. But again, there's so many people out there stealing. Yes, you heard me right.
You're a thief.
If you're not pushing harder every day. If you're not pursuing and getting the things you want. Now listen, you might be able to stick a hundred dollar bill on the table and you might not ever touch it. You actually might grab it and hand it to me and say, hey, you forgot this. But at the end of the day, I kind of feel like you're stealing millions of dollars. Not kind of, you're stealing millions of dollars in your future by not going after what's Available to you.
Yes.
It's going to be uncomfortable. Yes, it's going to be hard. Yes, you're going to push harder. Yes, you're going to have to wake up earlier. Yes, you're going to go to bed later.
Today's a beautiful day.
9:30, I was up at 4 this morning. I didn't get home till 11 o' clock late last night.
And back at it.
I was in a meeting until 11, boom, got home and now we're rolling. But the key is it doesn't matter when you're pursuing opportunity, when you're pursuing your dreams and your vision and your plan, it doesn't matter how much work you put into it. No one cares. The only person that might care is you. And all I care about successful people, all they care about is results. I don't care if it took you a day to do it, an hour to do it, or 10 years to do it. All we care about is results. So as you're pushing forward and you're pursuing your dreams, stop looking at all the work it has to take to get there and just focus on getting there.
Get there.
It takes a lot of work. There's no shortcut, there's no secret. Doing the work is the secret. I've talked about that a lot. But hopefully today, through the video that you're watching here, I hope you learn a lot through this. I hope you see the visualization of what we're doing, what we're accomplishing, how we're going about it. And I hope this inspires you. Hope it pushes you, hope it stretches you, hope it inspires you. I hope it drives you. I hope, more importantly, that you actually take this and run very hard with it. Stop overthinking all the details. Just go after massive action. And remember, as my boy Mike always says, you don't have to get it right, just get it going. The opportunities are now, every single day. You can't do anything about yesterday. We can only focus on now and in the future. If you're trying to say, well, I need to do this, I need to get this set up, I need to get this set up. All you need in business is a phone and prospects, and prospects are everywhere. And a great product to deliver, of course. But if you have all these things and they're available to everybody, you just have to start seeing the opportunities. Another great gift that I feel like I've built over the years is saying yes, yes, without knowing all the details. So many people are looking at all the details. Spend seven years trying to figure out if it's a deal or not a deal. To ultimately never do a deal. For me, I say yes and then figure out all the details later. It's a habit. It's something ingrained in me. And I think if you start doing that, like when I do real estate investing, I say yes every day. We buy property every day or sell property every day. So we're always in yes mode. Yes, let's do it. Yes, let's move forward. Yes, let's get more leads. Yes, let's find more people. Yes, let's, you know, do this video shoot. Yes, let's get Dan on board.
Yes, Dan.
Let's get a computer. Like you have to say yes and fast action. Not just BS yeses and act like you're fronting. Like we do this. This is a daily habit. This is going on every single day.
Hey guys, what you're watching now is me rolling with the dm. New episode coming out with my boy Joe Evangelistic. Like I said, we're heading to the cigar bar. But more importantly, I just appreciate you guys jumping on here and watching this, getting behind the scenes of what it really takes to be successful. You see, you may, may or may not know this. I know we're talking about this right now and you're watching this, but a lot of things have happened. You know, I've been up since 4:50 in the morning. I've got the workout in, I've got the conversations in, I got the emails out, got the calls out. I've closed deals. I'm now sitting in the cigar bar with a bunch of ballers that are crushing it. Literally multiple millions of dollars of deals went down at that meeting at the cigar bar. And what's amazing about that is that you need to be doing this. This is what it takes to be successful. I'm creating content on content on content. And it's a powerful tool to create this content so people can start to know who you are. Often times it's not who you know, it's who knows you. Not only that, we're going to dip in the car and jump and go get our boy Ray. Ray Mabry is the man crushing it out there in North Carolina doing some amaz. The Ray and I get behind the scenes. We do another episode of Rolling with the DM. Over there.
Yo, yo, yo.
7:35Pm, Jumping in the Uber, rolling down the breakers at the HMF to meet my boy Joe. But as I'm in there and the Uber driver talking, having fun, having conversations, I always Love talking to guys that are on the ground doing stuff day to day, you know, asking them questions like, how's the market looking? How's the people? You know, is it busy now? Is it not busy? That's a good indicator how his life and business is going. Plus the community that you're in. So kind of just a quick little tip there, but I got a question for you. What are you guys doing to build.
Your legacy for your family?
And now I'm rolling to go meet my boy Joe. That's who I'm meeting. My boy Joe Evangelistic. Make sure you're following them over at the Flip team. So as Joe, there he is, he's pulling up right now. It's my boy Joe pulling up. We're gonna have high level, insightful conversations. I love being able to bring value. He brings value to me. I bring value to him. We've done a lot of stuff together over the last couple years, and we're gonna be doing stuff together for many, many more years to come. This is the kind of dedication, this is the kind of commitment it takes to make this a reality. What's this? Your life? Listen, the truth is, at the end of the day, you know, a lot of people know me about virtual real estate investing and this and that, and I am virtual. I can be anywhere in the world doing what I'm doing. But what virtual means to me and to everyone else that I talk to about how I'm doing my business is about really working on my business, not in my business. Now, listen, you might be saying, hey, Mark, you're going to these meetings, doing these things, and you're in your business. And I guess depending on how you look at it, you can be right. But this is fun to me. This is exciting to me. Me, I get to meet amazing people.
I'm hanging out at the cigar bar.
I'm hanging out with my wife and kid at the pool. What you've really watched over the day is kind of a genuine, a real day for the dm, you know, listen, you can sit at the beach. Maybe today I didn't. I went to the gym. But maybe in the next day I might walk down to the beach, who knows? But at the end of the day, it's getting these pieces in and you don't have to be like me or want to do these things like me. And I get that. But it's all about, what do you want? What do you want the business to do for you? You listen, it's not what do you want to do? For the business. Because you're hustler.
You're watching this, you're getting excited. I'm excited talking about it.
But virtual to me is working on the business, not in the business. Maybe you're the guy or gal that read a book and thinking, go sit on the beach, smoke a joint, drink 50 beers and do whatever and listen, been there, done that. You can go do that, I guess. But you're never going to create that legacy. Remember the question that towards the end here I'm asked you, I asked you earlier, what is your legacy? What do you want to leave back? What do you want to build? What do you want to do for life, your, your family, your kids, your name, etc. So I hope this video today of the day in the life is just a glimpse or an insight and or more importantly, an inspiration to you to get you to understand that there is hustle behind the scenes. It's not me just hanging out in shorts and flip flops and a crazy hat, right? And cool cars and doing these cool things, but more importantly about how we're getting to the destination. Guys, I'm telling you this right now. There's someone right now that's watching this and or not watching this video and sitting, trying to figure out how to take your game over, how to take your business over. I don't let off the gas pedal. I'm full steam ahead 24 7. I'll never retire. I don't know what a vacation is. The vacation to me is every day because I'm doing exactly what I want to do, when I want to do it and how I want to do it. This is a mindset shift. This is a lifestyle shift. This is a different person that you might have to become to get there. But my question before we leave this day or this night, I should say, as you're watching this, we're getting done. We're wrapping up about 11:18pm I'm gonna get home to baby DM on my wife. But more importantly for you, as the viewer challenging you to step up your game, what can you add value to the market with a video, with Periscope, with emails? I mean, there's 80 things that we've done today. How many of them are you doing? Are you complaining? Were you a quitter? You can't complain and get results because complaining ain't going to get you the results. The actions will get you the results. Again, I hope this video has inspired you to take the next step. I would appreciate it if you got a lot of value out of this. Share this with your friends. Share this with people you care about. Share this with like minded people that can elevate their game. Listen, my goal is to help you. My goal is to be in front of the people that I can help that want to help them themselves. And at the end of the day, if you're watching this, I hope that you I extend my hand out to you. I don't look for handouts, I look for hand ups. There's so much opportunity, there's so much excitement around this business and in life in general. This ain't just about real estate, this is about business building. Right? So let's step the game up. Hope you enjoyed the day in the life with the dm. Talk to you soon. Bye Bye.
