Mark Evans DM argues you either control money or it controls you. He spent $20,000 on a private flight to reclaim time and comfort instead of complaining about airline policies, illustrating how mindset shapes your financial choices and freedom.
Do you control money, or does money control you? That's the big difference. And I'm telling you right now, we only have one shot at this thing called life. One. And I'm living it every day until I die. And until that day, when I die, my goal is actually my life. My legacy lives on way beyond me and beyond my kids and beyond their kids, et cetera, because we are plotting that path. We're doing it today. By the way, when I go invest 20 grand, it's an investment to me, by the way, flying private. When I invest that 20 grand to fly from Florida to here, I literally hacked so much time. Car pulls directly up to the jet. We hop out. Boom. Snap a family pic. Hey, another year in the books in Florida. Let's get up to Ohio.
Boom.
We're in the jet. Literally up into the air within eight to ten minutes. Boom. We land. Kids are playing, having fun. We're relaxing. No one's talking to me. Turn off your cell phone.
You have.
You're on Internet, Europe. It's like you. I'm a grown adult, dude. Get the out of here. You think I can't use a cell phone in an airplane? Like, I don't need people to put your tray up.
Why?
See, the thing is, is everybody's about this control. I control me. And listen, I'm not just talking. I'm actually doing something about it. I fly private so I don't have to deal with that stuff. I don't like to be told what to do as a grown man. And if you do keep. Keep doing it. The difference is, so many people are complaining about the problem but not doing anything. I can't go change the airline's policies, clearly. So instead of changing them, I change me and go fly private. That's how this thing called mindset works. You got to change. You got to evolve. You got to develop. So I could fight this. I could get pissed and get mad and do all these things. But when I fly private, Boom. Car pulls up. Boom. Everyone grabs stuff. I walk right in.
Boom. Boom.
Boom. Check, check. Oh, let's go. Boom. We take off. We do much, try to take a nap, but that's not. Have no two kids land in Cleveland. The cars at the tarmac waiting on us pop in the stuff. Boom. We head up to the car, head up to the house. I should say. See, the thing is, is we.
We.
We like to. It's like, I. It freaks me out, the sheepish mentality in the airports. Honestly, it's very sheepish. Here's the single file line, are you first class line, are you second class line, Are you this line or that line? Oh, by the way, if you got this star, you can set like, dude, like why can't we? We're growing people. He shows you how common sense isn't so common. If they have to have these kind of policies in place to tell someone, you can't have hot coffee sitting on a table when we're getting ready to take off and go straight up in the air. This doesn't make sense. This is why they do. I understand the meaning behind it. I just don't like to be told. I already know what to do, you know what I mean? So instead of changing, I change me. Instead of fighting it, I look inside of me and say, what is the solution? Let me say it again. What is the solution? The solution starts with me. If I have a problem with it, I have to create my solution. And it might be me unbelieving my old truth. Then I started walking by people in first class. I'm like, why can't I be that person? I was embarrassed to even make eye contact with them. I almost felt like they were better than me for whatever reason. That's kind of how I was always taught they must be a special elite class of people. Blah blah, blah, blah, blah blah. Dude, the truth is, it's actually not the case. From my experience, they're just hard working people that figured out a way that understands. Maybe they're getting the free ticket, maybe they had an upgrade, maybe they travel a million miles a year. I don't know, I'm not there to judge it. And, or maybe they understand the value of time and they invest in themselves because they, maybe they want to sit in luxury, maybe they want to have the big seats. And if you've ever been stuck on the tarmac, on an airplane, first class, you know, I've been stuck in situations where we're sitting on the tarmac for five hours for whatever reason and in first class we're getting served dinner, we're getting served drinks, while everyone else is just like, oh shit, I should have got something. And I'm not saying that's the only reason, but that's a reason I would be sitting in first class. That could happen again. I'm looking for what the possibilities could happen. And then I start looking for where's the opportunities to get bigger and learn from Kevin's diem.
I'm here to help and teach him what I know and how I did it to discover freedom. There ain't no question. More Kevin's. When he stepped in the doubt. He's closing deals. Time to tell him what the DM stand for. I'm a deal maker. A deal maker. But I'm not just a deal maker. I'm a dream maker.
