Mark Evans explores whether constant dissatisfaction drives growth or burns you out. He argues for thought auditing to reshape your internal narrative, shares how leaving his small town and building businesses changed his trajectory, and lays out concrete habits: cut toxic people, spend daily hours on self-improvement, expand your circle, and choose your advisors carefully.

Welcome to the Making of A dm. Is being never satisfied good or bad for you?
We're about to find out on this show. So with that said, let's get started.
What I know and how I did it to discover freedom.
There ain't no question mark.
Kevin's when he stepping the doubt, he's closing deals.
Time to tell him what the 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.
Hey there, it's your boy, Mark Evans, dm.
Welcome to another show of Making of A dm. That's right, you are the DM of your life, the deal maker, most importantly, the dream maker. I want to share a show today. I've been kind of pondering what I wanted to talk about, not procrastinating pondering because I want to make sure when I show up, I share real with you and because I'm here to help you. There's a lot of people that are coming new to follow and listen to the show. So I want to say thank you so much. As I'm talking today, coming to you live from Kirtland Hills, Ohio in the Treehouse office. Getting excited. I got some painting going on on the doors here and excited to share with you guys the pictures when it gets done. So if you're brand new to the show, welcome. If you've been here, make sure to get over there and leave a five star review over on the platform you listen to and let me know that you did via social media, arkevansdm on Instagram or Facebook or any of those. There's so much going on in the world and it's wild to me because I don't know if you suffer with this, but I want to talk real talk with you. This might bounce around a little bit today, so bear with me. But I want you to know, like.
I'm never satisfied, ever. And it's not like I'm mad, it's.
Just I'm very anxious to accomplish and help people in my life.
See, as I'm sitting here talking to.
You today, like if I, if I, I don't really share all my wins and all that shit because if I did, you know, people do like, oh.
Dude, all you do is brag and all this stuff. And it's not bragging, it's like, have you ever asked yourself, as you guys.
Know, I wrote a book called Magician vs. Mule and I talk about a.
Very, very important thing.
It's called Thought Auditing. I truly believe this is one of.
The biggest things I've done my entire life. And once I really realized the power.
Of it, it changed my life.
Thought auditing.
When you hear something like this, like, dude, I just bought a $350,000 truck sight unseen, never driven one before, I don't even know the fucking guy's first name I sent the money to, but.
Yet I'm excited about it.
Do you think, well, good for you, Mr. Fancy Pants, $350,000 probably piece of shit.
Probably got ripped off, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Or do you like, damn, that's awesome.
Whatever happened, or anything in between, those are your thoughts. And these thoughts have been implanted in you.
And you either believe them or you don't.
And if you're talking shit, how do you expect great shit to happen for you? And if you're excited, you probably have a lot of cool things happening in your life because your thoughts start everything. I know people in my life, it could be raining hundred dollar bills and they fucking complain because they said, oh my God, I'm just trying to walk to the car. And then there's other people's like, holy.
Shit, this is amazing. Let it rain more. It's money coming out of the sky.
And then the person's complaining about it raining. Money also is the same person complains about. It's not about the money, I don't have any of it, blah, blah, blah, blah and all that, right? When I was a child, I always wanted more out of my life. I don't. I'm so thankful. I don't know where this came from.
But I'm grateful for it drastically.
I always knew I had me. I had to become a better person to get what I wanted. If I wanted to settle for what I already knew existed, I just keep doing the same shit.
And just deal with it.
Because that's what a lot of people around my life did.
They just deal with it.
What's funny is I always used to hear people say this, mark, I don't care about money like you do.
I'm like, it used to bother me. And I'm like, huh, Keep on. I'm a child at this point. I'm like 16, 17, like, I want.
To make a lot of money.
Back then it was like 100 grand a year, by the way. And I'm like, wait a minute, have.
You ever asked the question, think about.
This, what do you wake up and do every day?
The person that's saying this information to.
Me, by the way, was not where I Wanted to be. So I don't listen to that anyways, right?
Never take advice from someone. That's not where you want to be at. If a 400 pound person saying this is how you lose weight, if someone's saying this is how you get rich, it has no money in the bank that's asking you to borrow money. Why the fuck would I listen to you, period?
I don't need to go any further right on that.
So be careful of who you take advice from. You're not going to take advice from.
Me on how to become a yoga instructor. I can barely move already, but lots of people come to me to learn how to make money, how to be a better business builder, how to create a better lifestyle, inside the business and all that.
I know how to do that.
I've been doing this for 26 years and beyond my whole adult life. I'm 44 now. Right?
But back to this whole thing. It's not about the money, but everything they do is about going to work to get money, huh? So think about this mind fuck. It's not about the money, Nancy, but every day you fucking complain. You get up early, you go to work at a job you hate to make money, and then you come home and talk about it and repeat process. Well, if it's not about the money, why are you doing it, huh? Have you ever thought about that? I always knew early on, like I said, I had to change my thoughts, I had to change my perspective. I haven't changed my reality. I, I, I me, if I don't change me, what I'm seeking will never show up because I don't even know it exists. Do you ever have that burning desire, knowing that there's more in life? You know your business is beating you up and you don't know how to fix it. But when I was 17 years old, I was at the library and I got this book, Think and Grow Rich. Sounds like a stupid title, but it's a fucking amazing book that you should.
Read once a year for the rest of your life.
So using that example, Nancy that gets up and hates her job, every day comes repeats cycle for the next 40 years because I'm going to retire happy. Ask them one simple question. What do you do daily to improve you? Either through reading, mentoring, audiobooks, podcast shows, etc. What are you doing daily?
How many hours a day are you working on you? The majority of you are not working on yourself at all on a consistent basis. And the people that you're, you're taking advice from or have taken advice from.
Don'T even know what self growth is. They don't even think, oh mindset, that's some hokey pokey. If it worked, everyone would do it, right?
Whatever stupid ass stuff they say.
But your thoughts, where do they come from?
Mom, dad, buddies, mentors, teachers, football coach, baseball coach, basketball coach, whatever, sports coach, people that you respected, right?
They, they would say in passing or.
They've ingrained this in your life because it's where you, how you grew up.
And you can't say Mark. That's easy for you to say. You're born with a silver spoon your mouth, motherfucker. I was born in small town Ohio. My parents lived in a one bedroom apartment with three kids above my grandparents house.
Then we moved to the trailer court.
Until I was 10. Then we moved into a house that my parents still live in that burnt down to the, that literally almost burnt down to the ground. We had to live in a camper in the backyard. Thank God for my aunt, she let us stay in her house for a while as well. But I had to change me to get what I wanted. I can't blame my mom and dad, they did the best they could with the stuff they had at the time. I can't blame my football coach. He was just sharing what he thought was right, you know, like don't put your hands on your knees. That's not the. You got to open up so you can breathe bullshit. That's a lie by the way. Where do your thoughts come from? What bullshit's been put in your brain that you actually still say and believe? Actually you might not even believe it. You just fucking say it because you're not working on yourself. One thing I have about myself is full awareness. I know when I'm being a dick.
Most of the time.
And if not, I'm cool.
When someone says yo, you're being a dick. Noted.
Especially if it's coming from my wife. Especially if it's coming from someone I respect. If you tell me I'm being a dick and you're nobody doing nothing, I don't hear you no matter what anyways. If you tell me, by the way, that's the opposite. If you tell me I'm doing a great job and you're not doing anything, I don't know what that means. Because a great job to you is not a great job to me. Maybe that's what I'm talking about, never being satisfied. I get off stage, I speak to, you know, 1200 people. I get off stage and I'm like, could have helped more people, could have been tighter on the words. It's not like I get off stage like, ha, ha, there we go.
I'm the best. I'm the greatest.
I hit some good points. I need to get them better. I need to improve. I go straight to the green room, I grab out a piece of paper or use my cell phone notes and I take notes on how to improve. Me. Too many fuckers out here celebrating small time shit all the time. If it sounds like I'm yelling at you, it's I, I, I. I'm not yelling at you. I'm yelling at the me I used to be because I used to do the same stupid. I remember there was a time in my life when I almost went bankrupt. I lost track of growing me. My bank account was growing a little bit, but I was blowing it faster.
Than it was growing because I thought.
I, I thought I was missing out. I thought I had to go to the clubs. I thought I had to go get.
Drunk, go to the strip clubs and.
Do all the stupid to be cool, man. It was dumb. Wasted countless hours drinking hungover, hang out with dipshits at all levels. I was a dipshit because I knew better. One day I woke up.
True story, 10th Avenue. I woke up first of my mom and dad raised me better than that, right as a man. But I looked out the window, hungover as hell. God knows what happened the night prior. I'm looking out the window and I see these guys in their wheelchairs. They're paraplegics. There was a facility across the street from where I lived where they're paraplegics. They could drive, you know, they had all the machines. I literally woke up and said, enough's enough, Evans. You're better than this. I grabbed my books.
Back then we didn't have the Internet.
Like you do now. Back then we didn't have social media where I could listen to, like get inspired and get motivated and learn shit for free. I didn't learn. I didn't have podcast shows, didn't exist like this. This is way long time ago. Late 90s, early 2000s, said I gotta get better. I stopped going to the bars, I stopped hanging out with the those guys. I just, I, I cut it all off immediately. As soon as I realized enough is enough, I cut it off cold turkey. It was hard because I was having fun. I was doing stupid. I thought I was being cool again. I was, I was fighting because I knew I was better than that. See, my personality type is all In, I'm all in. If I'm doing something good, I'm all in. If I'm doing something bad, I'm all in. Drinking, I. E. I want to go big or go home.
But your thoughts control everything.
I thought I was missing out, therefore I was overindulging.
I remember laying in bed one night.
Like at 10 o' clock, because back then you don't go out till 11 or 12, right? Because that's what cool people do. I was laying in bed, I'm like.
I'm not going out.
I literally locked my door. I'm like, dude, leave me alone. Everyone's a pound Evans.
Let's go, let's go, let's go. It's time.
They need me to go, by the way, because I'm paying for everybody. My dude, I'm done.
What I had to do is I had to remove myself from the environment.
That was causing the wrong thought process in the outcome.
It's not their fault, it's my fault.
I was weak.
You don't sit my fat ass in front of a pizza buffet and say, hey, Evans, don't touch the pizza, right? Just don't go to the buffet.
And then it becomes nothing. It's not a big deal.
But if you're hanging out in the buffet and you have a problem eating, it's going to be a big deal.
Get out of environments.
One of the greatest gifts I gave.
To myself was leaving my small town. I love my parents, I love my sisters, I love my nieces. But I do not like the small town mentality. For me, it was holding me back. It was like throwing a shark in the smallest fishbowl. For a goldfish that you could find, the shark will only grow to the size of the tank or the fish in general.
Right?
I wanted to get in a bigger pond.
See, I didn't want to be the big fish in a small pond. I wanted to be the small fish.
In a big pond.
What success is to me today looks.
It's drastically different than what I thought it would be. Truthfully, I thought you just woke up and did whatever the fuck you want.
Whenever you want and hang out and.
Laugh and life is merry.
You have no problems.
It's easy. There's never an issue.
As I'm talking to you, I have.
A company losing about $3 million a year. I have companies making tens of millions of dollars a year. I have people at a house messing stuff up. I have other stuff going down the hill. I have people quitting. We are hiring new people.
I'm buying stuff, they're buying stuff. Our systems are broke. I mean there's a million things going on.
You got to deal with them or do you?
Your thoughts control everything. So thought audit the out of your stuff. I want to be rich.
I don't know the rich means to you. I know what it means to me. Maybe.
So if you tell someone you want to be rich and they start telling you how to get rich, you got.
To stop for a minute and say you don't even know what the fuck.
That means to me. They could be telling you go left when you're trying to go right.
Mark I want to be healthy.
I want to be a better dad, I want to be a better wife, a better husband, whatever.
We're getting older. Recently I just found out two guys, my, one of my best like buddies, his, they passed away massively, unexpectingly. Great men doing great with great kids and they have everything going for them and boom, tragic accident. That's going to be, it's the end for all of us eventually. I've talked about this on multiple shows, about how death motivates me. Death drives me, keeps me moving forward. When I don't want to.
I don't want to work out at.
5Am or 6am I got to, right? I don't want to do conference calls, sometimes all day.
But I got to. It's what I signed up for. It's part of the game. I don't want to fucking hang out.
And do nothing on Sunday with certain people.
I got to because it's what I signed up for with my family. I don't like watching football. It's like watching paint dry for me. I don't care about it. It's not bad. It's just that's who I am. I don't mind going to the games and creating an experience with my dad and my father in law, my kids.
And you know, my, my buddies and my cousins or whatever.
But watching it on T, I just don't get anything out of it. Here's why though.
I think.
My whole life I grew up, Saturdays and Sundays people took off and just got wasted, over ate, complained, didn't like their life and tried to escape something. I'm not trying to escape anything. I'm trying to enhance. So you got to be conscious of these things that are happening. Like, oh, it's just what we do. No, it's not. It's what you used to do. If you're trying to lose weight, you can't keep eating 6,000 calories a day of all bad stuff. It just will not work out. Well, you got to think and change. You got to change the thought. The thought leads to the action, the action leads to the results. Only you can do it. Nobody else. You came in this world by yourself. I guarantee you're going to leave this world by yourself. Not say people around you don't love you and all that. I'm not saying that. But what I'm saying is you got to pay attention. Everyone talks about the five people you're around and all that. And the reason is the most people talk about that is they're hanging out with five people that really are not driving forward, talking about the same. They're not conscious of their thoughts, they're not conscious of their actions. They're just going through the motions. I hate talking to people. And I'm like, what's up today, man? Another day, another dollar and or same old shit. Evans, what's up with you? Like, dude, I fucking talk to you every week. It's the same old shit. That's a problem. Dude, I'm growing. I'm buying two companies. I'm selling this thing. I just lost $12,000 over here, but I'm gonna make 42 grand over here. Hired this person, man, this guy sucks. I shouldn't have hired him.
Why didn't he tell me? Evans.
But I hired this one, and they're going to change the game for me. Be excited about the process.
Heard someone recently, like, like, dude, don't fall in love with the process.
You got to go take a piss, dude. Going to the bathroom is only the destination, right? You got to get to the destination. It's part.
I call it a checkpoint.
My end goal is not just wake up and go to the pisser. So wake up. It's a checkpoint in the destination. My destination is to get up earlier. My destination is to look better, feel.
Leaner, you know, just be better.
We all have it inside of us.
Everyone has it inside of them. The question is, are you listening to it? You know better. Your conscious knows better. To me, consciousness is like. It's almost like God, right? You know what's right and what's wrong. You know when you're eating that bag of chips that you shouldn't be eating it. And you're con. You're just eating your conscience away. I know because I've done that a million times. Get your fat ass up.
Last yesterday, I was about to.
I was literally.
It's like five o'. Clock.
Everyone's, like hanging out vegging out. I'm like, dude, I'm gonna fall asleep.
Yes. I want to take a nap, but.
I still gotta work out my second workout. So I go literally dragging myself to put on my workout clothes. Tell my father in law and I'll be back.
How long are you going for?
Oh, man.
You want a piece of pie? No.
Get out of the house as fast as possible, Evans. That's what I kept telling myself. Get the feet moving. Keep the feet moving. Keep the feet moving.
This is every day it gets bigger.
As you get bigger, by the way, there's more noise, there's more people cheering you on.
There's more people saying, great job. There's more people wanting to hang out with you because you're making money. It's not because you're cool, it's because you're making money. They want to get access to that.
Trust me.
We are here on a path of opportunity that I've never seen before. My entire life, you and I have never had it easier to connect with.
People around the world with a click of a button. You could literally shoot a video. Post on Instagram, post it on TikTok. You could shoot a text message on Instagram or Facebook or any of these platforms, LinkedIn.
Connect with people. People are saying stuff to connect with them.
You could.
It's never been easier. But your thoughts, because I'm gonna mess up. I don't speak well, I don't write well. Well, fuck with that kind of thought process. You're never going to anyways. Not only that, you're not that important. Let's be honest. No one cares about your text, no one cares about your video.
Why?
Because you ain't doing it.
It's funny to me. It's always like.
It's like, this is my saying, Data, not drama. Right? The Evans is not working. Cool. How many people you talk to, man? I haven't got through that yet. Well, you ain't working. That's why it's not working. Shut the fuck up. See, the thing is, you're delusional. That's why I like hanging out with people doing big shit. Because I think I'm doing big shit. Then I go hang out with a guy really doing big shit and I'm like, fuck, I gotta set my game up. They're no different than me. They're no bigger than me, they're no better than me, they're no smarter than.
Me, but they're doing bigger shit than me. And that starts from within.
They're asking different questions, They're Talking with different people. They're doing different things than I'm doing. And I want to learn that shit. See, it's funny. When I'm 10 years old, when I'm. Excuse me, when I'm 21 years old, I thought I was a fucking man. I know everything.
I'm gonna conquer the world through now, at 44, I'm like, Dude, I'm a fucking child. I'm just learning the game of life, what it's really about.
How to grow, how to be smart.
How to, how to lead, how to.
Drive, how to help other people be successful beyond belief. You may or may not know this, but this fucking show cost me six.
Figures a year to send to you for free.
I do stuff on social media for free. I do the podcast show for free because I want to help people. I don't care if you ever buy anything from me. I don't have anything for to sell. I want to help people. I want to help themselves. I want to see you change your life trajectory like I changed mine. I want to see you change your family tree, financially, mentally, emotionally, physically. I want you to dominate in all areas. I want you to get the joy that I get to. To hang out with my fucking kids whenever I want to. I want you to have the joy to be able to fucking buy what you want when you want to. I want you to share your wins and not worry about what people say. Because it doesn't matter what they say. If I don't share a win with you, how do you know what winning looks like? Trust me, you know how losing looks like because everyone's losing around you. Everyone posts their losses. Everyone's sharing all the negative. If it doesn't bleed, it don't lead. My man. Who's sharing their wins with you? What are you. Are you hanging out with guys that's like sharing big ass wins or you hanging out with that fucking Mickey Mouse person that shares a window? Dude, you're bragging, motherfucker. This ain't a brag. This is wimpy shit. We ain't done nothing. You want to get in rooms where people are sharing wins? My guy, every fucking guy in my group I'm rolling with. We're talking about the next big business that we're buying and selling. The employees we're going to bring on and onboard and change our lives. We're talking about how to change the trajectory of people's lives, you included. How to make you better, how to make you stronger, how to make you think for your fucking self. How to avoid the noise, the negativity, the drama. Focus on the data. There's nothing better than waking up and.
Being able to do what you want when you want.
But some people get that twisted, like, there's nothing to do with. I do a lot. I just do it different now. I do more today with doing less activity, but different activity, if that makes sense at all. I talk about it in a book I wrote called 10 minute business owner. It's the power of constraint. You got 10 minutes to work a day.
What do you do?
How do you do it? What do you say? Who's on the phone? What are you talking about? I'm not talking about bullshit. I don't give a fuck what Nancy Jo Johnson said about this or that.
Dude, where are we at? What's going on?
Data.
Drama. Not drama. No. Data. Data. Data.
Data.
Okay. Anxiety attack. Anxiety attack.
Data.
I need more data.
What's going on?
Understanding what the data's saying. Are we growing?
Are we shrinking?
Are we extracting?
Are we.
Are we accomplishing the goals that we set out for? Someone's got to do the work. I read a book called Virtual Investing Made Easy back in 2006. I think people do. You don't work. I'm sitting on a beach. That doesn't mean I'm not working. It's just, you go to an office in a cubicle, and I sit on the beach and get a tan on with my headset. It's the same. I just work different than you. We can have the same or better outcome or worse outcome. I don't know. Because I'm not competing against you. I'm trying to make me better.
Some people are like, dude, you yell at me.
No, I'm yelling because I'm careful. If I didn't care, like, hey, guys.
You know, there's this cool thing called thought auditing. You know, check out blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I want to help you.
I want to see you succeed at levels you don't even know exist. I want you to text me five years from now and say, dude, I listened to this podcast show fucking September of 2022, and, like, it hit. I sold a company for $100 million.
Because of that show. Boom.
What's next? You sold it for 100 million? Why not?
250.
Sold it for 100 million. What are you going to do now? What's the next thing? Where are you taking it? How can I help you? I don't want to show up here every day. I don't want to show up to.
This show every week.
But I have to. It's my duty to you. I made a commitment and I'm sticking to it. I don't abandon when I'm sick. I don't abandon when I'm tired. I don't abandon when I'm busy. I fucking. I made a commitment to show up, and I'm showing up.
Are you for free?
How many people are you helping for free? How many people are you sharing your knowledge on social media for free? I don't want to be judged. Motherfucker, you're already judged. Stop judging yourself and start sharing the truth. If some people only seen what goes.
On over here, they'd realize, like, fuck, I'm playing small, dude.
I'm playing small. I remember going, this true story I.
Talked about a long time ago. I went to a $32 million house.
I paid $2,500 or $5,000.
I don't remember. This is a long, long time ago. Late 90s.
I went to this mansion and I.
Fucking met the guy who was buying. I'm like, dude, this guy is no fucking smarter than me. But the truth is, I was young, cocky, thought I knew everything, but I knew I didn't know anything. That's why I was there, truthfully.
But as soon as I stepped foot.
On the grass, I swear, I got off the bus, I stepped foot on the grass, I'm like, this is real. They built this house for somebody. And they started asking a question, why not me? I didn't judge the guy. I'm not judging him. Like, oh, man, he's dumb and blah, blah. No, dude, why can't I be here? Why can't this be my house?
Who do I need to become to.
Show up here 20 years later and own this? Five years later, two years, whatever the year time, who?
You know what's funny about all this?
I thought 100 grand was a lot of money. If I made a hundred grand in a week, I'm in trouble. 100 grand a day in our companies, right? We'd be in trouble.
There's so much opportunity when you get.
Out of your own way. It all starts with your thoughts, Mark, you understand I work hard. The fuck does hard work mean? I know what it means to me. But you've been fucking working hard for 20 years and you have no extra results. Either I'm fucking delusional or you're lying. Or both.
See, I see people. It's like, dude, I've owned a company for 35 years.
Make 150,000 a year?
How the fuck do you only make.
150 grand a year in 35 years?
That might sound like a dick conversation, but dude, you're lying to yourself.
You're stealing from your future, you're stealing from your family, you're stealing from customers. You can help.
150 grand a year. I could ask. You could accidentally get out of bed and fucking stub your toe and make that. And I'm not downplaying it. There is a process to the journey. But dude, 35 years deep and you're.
Only making 150 GS. Oh my God, I'd be pissed. That means you're just consciously going through the process. Subconsciously, I should say. You're just going through the motions. If you will think, use that brain. Everything you want is inside of you. You just have to ask the different questions. Start digging deeper and start focusing on what you really want you've suppressed because all your friends you're hanging out with.
Dude, that'd be nice.
It's easy for you, but not me. Not whatever bullshit they say. Yes, it is nice, motherfucker. Wait till you see what I'm really up to, right? This is the stuff we have to be thinking about. Thought auditing will change your life. Are you willing to change it?
This is why I'm never satisfied. Because my thoughts are evolving as I evolve.
I just need little wins. I need to see it in motion.
There's great people out there that have a lot of money and want to help you. There's bad people out here that don't have any money that act like they.
Want to help you are going to try to take it.
There's also bad people who want to.
You know it's bad people in life, right? Get away from it as fast as possible. You only got one shot at this thing called life, my friend. And I want you to make the most of it. I'd hate for you to be a victim in life where everything's everyone else's fault but your fault. Life is too short for that. There's customers like, I have kids. I have two kids. I have a seven year old and a three year old. I could not imagine it looking in their little eyes saying, you know what? Your dad's a loser. I give up on my dreams. I don't talk about my wins. I don't talk about my losses. Everything I've learned is because everyone else's fault. I don't have anything because it's their fault. Take responsibility for this point forward. I want nothing but the best for you. Even if you hate my guts, I don't care. I want to see you succeed in life. And succeed in life is different for everybody. If you only want to make a hundred million, the guy making a billion could succeed. And you could succeed with the guy with the billion. It's not like if you get a 100 million and I get a billion. Like we take from each other.
Actually we can enhance each other.
I do know this. It's a very short journey on planet Earth. We got to make the most of it. I wake up every day thinking about you. How my problems and the things I've went through 26 years of the grind, how I've come through here to get to where I'm at. And if some small hillbilly kid like myself can do it, that has. I have struggles just like everybody, but I don't make them my excuse. I listen to them, I acknowledge them, I connect with myself about my thoughts. I thought audit constantly. Why do I feel this way? Where's this feeling coming from? Insecurity, opportunity, obstacle, grandpa, whatever, Write this shit down. What thought serves me? What thought gets me moving forward?
What thought can I do? Who can I, by the way, if I don't change the thought process on.
Me, I can't change the thought process with my children, my wife and my friends around us.
We're all thinking to grow.
I'm very growth oriented now.
I don't want to wake up every.
Morning early, I got to.
I don't want to go to the.
Gym every day, seven days a week.
I got to.
I don't want to fucking do conference calls every week.
I got to. These are things I've put forth.
I'm not satisfied with where I'm at because I know I'm capable of more. I know if I can just share with one more person, change one more person's life, it's not just their life, it's their kids life, it's their whole family life. Because I was willing to take the action. We all can do it now. It's never been easier to communicate your message to the world at a high level through books, podcast shows, audiobooks, emails, Instagram, Facebook, social media everywhere. Please don't get satisfied. Never, never satisfied. I'm not saying don't enjoy the process, don't enjoy the journey.
Not saying that.
But don't stop and get lazy. Don't get complacent, don't think that you've made it because when you do, that's when you get in trouble. Become A better. You invest hours. I invest four, five hours a day. On me, through audiobooks, through podcast shows, through me sitting in the sauna reading a book, through me going, working out. That's my time to make me better. Guess what? If I get better, my life gets better, I get better, my kids lives get better, I get better. I can help you better.
I'm right where you're at.
I've been there, I've done that. But you have to do it yourself. You have to do it for you. I wrote a book about this, called Me Economy Get Selfish. It's the most unselfish thing you can do in this context. We need you here. We need you sharing your voice. Now has never been a bigger time than fucking right now to do that. I trust that you'll do it. I trust that you'll learn where your thoughts are coming from and what's driving you away. Closer or further away from your dreams and goals. Start getting around big thinkers, start getting around big dreamers. Most importantly, start getting around big doers. People making moves. Make an impact. And listen to this. Be very crystal clear. Listen. If someone tells you something, make sure they're telling you they're where you want to be. If they're not, listen to it at zero level. Why would I listen to someone telling me how to be a business guy that doesn't own a business? Why would I tell someone like, dude, you shouldn't share your success? And then I go to their social media and they have two followers, I have 500,000. Huh. So you're saying if I, I saw, I heard this call, like, wes, this guy was talking, he's like, so if you're saying I could be like you, I don't want to fucking be you. I don't want two people. I want 500,000. I want 5 million, I want 50 million, I want 500 million. Or however many people in this world, connect, listen, thought, audit and grow. And remember, never be satisfied.
It's your time.
It's now or never.
So with that said, make today count.
I'll see you next week. Have an amazing day.
I'm here to help and teach him what I know and how I did it. To discover freedom.

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. The journey's where it's at. It's all about the process to get over to the DM project from a small town in Ohio so I know how it is. Can I come from a lot of money. I remember as a kid wanted to make a honey rack. Didn't see no one making more than that. Graduated high school with a 1.8. Should have held me back.
I hope my principals and teachers are alive just to witness this.
I'm own boss. I'm out here running two way figure businesses.
I can walk away from it all and I'll be good. But I've been called to help people just like y' all learn the game.
It's time to ball everybody chasing the money but I'm not chasing the money. I'm out here chasing the purpose.
Yo, I've been working my whole life.
What got us where we at? Is it gonna get us where we wanna go? It's time to push. Time to learn, time to grow. Kevin's dm. I'm here to help and teach him what I, what I know and how I did it to discover freedom.
There ain't no question more Kevin's when.
He stepping to doubt, he closing deals.
