EP 209: 95% Talk Big. 5% Execute. Which One Are You?

Welcome to the Making of a dm. When did you stop dreaming? Are you struggling? Are you suffering in business right now?

We're going to unpack this and so much more on today's episode.

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 stepped in the doubt.

Closing deals.

Time to tell them 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.

Hey there, it's your boy, Mark Evans, dm. Welcome to another Making of the DM podcast show.

That's right, you are the dream maker and deal maker of your life. It's been a minute, it's actually been about seven months since I've recorded a show to the audience here. I want to apologize, actually, I'm busy. We have a lot of stuff going on. But I'm super excited to be here and I feel like, truthfully, I mean, I've done several hundred shows and I feel like I've said the same thing, a lot of the same stuff, and it's pretty tacking as I watch a lot of great people struggle for no reason. It's very interesting to me and we'll get into that today, but I just want to take a quick second, let you guys know. Happy 2026. You guys made it. You made it to 2025. Some good, some bad, and everything in between. But hopefully you're healthier, hopefully you're more financially stable and hopefully you got your head on straight with what's going on in the world today because there's a lot going on, as you know, and we're going to talk about a lot of these things today, so buckle up. I'll try to go 30 to 45 minutes, give or take or as long as I need to, to kind of share some insights with you that I've been wanting to share with you guys. I have a list, a bunch of things to go over, but if you're driving, if you're walking, if you're running on the treadmill, if you're just hanging out in the office, again, please be conscious of what I'm about to share with you.

Be intentional.

I just got back from Nashville, Tennessee, had about 130 individuals come into town from the Dealmaker Family and the Dealmaker Alliance. It was absolutely epic and awesome. Raised $113,100 for charity in a 30 minute session of helping an individual out that had his daughter passed away of cancer and now he's going big to do something about it, which is really cool to do. And not only that, I love watching people expand their giving muscle. It's so exciting to see that happen. Because, listen, making money is fairly simple giving. It really messes with people that make money and have never been trained how to give money. And I don't share this too lightly, but it's real. It's something that changed my life when I started giving. And my goal is to give a lot more, not just from me, but through me, through my conversations, like we're having right now. I know it's real. I mean, we've raised many millions of dollars over the years through my birthday charity events, through events like we just did last last couple days ago. And it's special. It's very special to watch people get uncomfortable, to see people stretch, to see people think about giving $500,000. We had stuff go up to $20,000. And just to see people step up. I just want to say, anybody that's listening, if you're there, thank you so much. It's very awesome. It is neat to see our kids are watching this go down. We had about 25 kids there. They're watching this go down. They're participating in life with us. We're integrated with business and pleasure and just living life as a collective. It is a very special place. If you don't have a community that you're rolling with that's growing, pushing, driving and, you know, helping and being resourceful, you're missing out and you're working way too hard for way too little. It's a special place. The Dealmaker alliance, the Dealmaker family. Check it out. If you're not in that group or you want to take a look at it and see what it's all about, you can always get over to dealmaker alliance.com Again, that's dealmaker alliance.com. you can go there, check out the testimonials, what people are saying, who it's for, who it's not. It's not for newbies. It's for people that are in the game looking to expand and looking to grow. So we have a bunch of people over there in that community. Literally any problem you're dealing with can be solved inside that community. It happens every day. It's awesome and I'm very proud and honored to be a part of that. But you'd fill out a form and my right hand girl, Sonia or I will contact you directly. We'll have a conversation to see if it's a fit. We're not there to sell you. We're truthfully there disqualify you. We want to make sure you're a good fit. We want to make sure we can accomplish what you're trying to accomplish inside that community. I'm not looking to make a couple bucks off of you. We're looking to bring great people together for the better. So it's a special place, and we take it very serious.

So we got that event done.

Big takeaway in Nashville. Something very interesting is this is kind of the sad truth, and I know you're here listening, so maybe I hope you're in the 5% category, but I would bet. And I've been coaching for a long time. I've helped a lot of entrepreneurs in many different ways, but there's about 95% of people that come to my world that talk. They want to do big stuff, they want to grow, they want big businesses, they want big opportunities, they want big houses, they want big cars, they want big bank accounts, they want big lives. And yet they don't do big things. It's sad for me, truthfully. I've had a hard time with it, and I go through cycles like this where I work really hard to give people the insights, the vision of how big their goals in life can be if they'd get out of their own way and start dreaming bigger. Probably one of the coolest things we did at this Nashville event, we had all the kids come up. There's, like I said, about 25 of them come up, and I said, what's your name? And what do you want to be when you grow up? And they all went around someone's to be ballerinas, astronauts, professional soccer players, you know, riding horses, all these cool things. That's amazing. But I'd like to flip the question to you like I did the audience. What do you want to be when you grow up? I would bet most people listening to my voice right now has just accepted the life that they have. I know you're searching for something bigger, looking for something more, but yet you learn all this cool stuff on podcast. You go to all these cool events, you read all these cool books, you watch all these cool YouTube videos, but what are you doing different?

Because if you keep doing the same things, expecting different results year after year

after year, it's crazy to me.

I don't get it. It makes no sense to me. If I meet you today and I meet you a year from now, I would Expect you to be a drastically different person. Meaning that your business is growing. You're pushing, you're driving.

You.

You've learned so much. You've hired people, you fired people. You've built companies and you're building them bigger. Maybe you've exited a company by then. Maybe you've grown your identity.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Why have you accepted what you have? And you can say, mark, I haven't. That's why I'm here. Okay, cool. Prove it to you, not me, but to you. Go to your bank account 12 months ago, 24 months ago, 36 months ago, et cetera, and see what your balance sheet looks like. What's your P and L look like? What's your personal balance sheet look like? Do you have more money in cash? Do you have more money in equity? Do you have more assets? You have more cash flow? Do you have more opportunities than you've ever had that you're actually capitalizing on? Or you're just sitting here grinding it out? I got a guy right now that I've known for 15 years, married, about to have a kid, has a business, and he's been at the same number for the last six years. It's always hard. It's always, I can't get you the information you need to help me because I'm busy. I'll get it to you next week. Next week? Never come. It still hasn't came. It's about six years later. But he hits me up when he has challenges, which he always does, but I'm talking the ones that actually could ruin his business today. He's always playing firefighter, putting fires out. He's in a very large vertical, but he's stuck in his own path. He thinks he's the smartest in the room. He thinks he has all the answers. Unfortunately, he thinks he knows all the answers, and yet he can't solve a simple problem. See, when you have something and you know it's bigger than what you're playing in and you don't know how to fix it, you need to ask for help.

More importantly, you need to be willing

to give the information to help you. And then, secondly, you need to be able to execute on what you're told to do. Not going to invest my time or energy or resources to listen to you make up a bunch of bullshit excuses that you're making up to yourself, trying to justify why you're stuck with where you're stuck at. That's not what I'm here for. It's not what people pay thousands of dollars. I don't even do it, but it'd be thousands of dollars an hour. Why do you enjoy being stuck? Why do you enjoy playing small? Do you understand how hard it is to play small, by the way, it's hard to play small and it's hard to play big. Why not just play hard big or big hard? Why? Well, I'm going to get to that point, Mark. Cool. When? Show me the path. Show me the roadmap. Why do you accept the life that you're living? You can say you're not, but I don't hear what you say. I want to see it on paper. Data doesn't lie, people. Do you always hear me say data, not drama. But as I watch these kids talk, I'm going to be this, I'm going to be that. They say it so confidently, just like

most people in that audience do.

It's cool to say it, but what are you going to do to accomplish it? Are you willing to stop going out every weekend? Are you willing to stop partying in the Thursday night because of the weekend's coming? Are you willing to go to bed early, get up early, go to bed late, get up early, do whatever it takes? Are you wanting to get uncomfortable and do a post on social media? Are you wanting to get uncomfortable and go to a marketing event or networking event or business event?

You're not really willing to do what it takes, are you? You just want to talk about it. It sucks you're getting older.

How many more starts do you have?

How many more years are you going to keep doing this to yourself? See, there's not one parent in that audience that when they hear their beautiful young child up there say, I'm going to be this, doesn't believe them. They'll support them. They'll invest every dollar they have to get them the best coaches to help them accomplish that. They'll take them to the practices, take them to the meetings, take them to the events, et cetera. But yet they won't do this for themselves. That's what I love about kids. They don't have rejection in their mind. Their perception of life is so beautiful and so simple and just. So dream big.

If your child came to you and

said, daddy, mommy, I got a dream, it's like, cool. What is it?

Well, I don't know, Mom.

Should I tell you that?

Should I dream big or dream small? What do you say? Dream small, buddy. It's not for us. It's not for people like us. Just dream Small. Play small, live small. Be a victim. Just accept it for what you got. Just. Just kind of keep your head down and just do what you do and work really hard. Jimmy. Or do you say dream big, live big, do big. Execute accordingly. Do the hard stuff. Because that's what the Evans is do. We do hard shit every day. You wake up early, it's hard. Do it when you don't want to go to practice. It's hard.

Do it.

Do it when you're down three points. Get up there and show up and slam that ball down their throat. And do it. Because we do hard work. Be the number one champ. Be the tennis champ, Be the master gymnast. But do hard stuff. That's the only way you'll ever get it. It's not do less, get more. It's do the hard stuff. Do the stuff that it requires to accomplish the outcome of the goal you're trying to accomplish. I watch so many people pussyfoot around.

It's weird to me.

I don't get it. Why. Who told you that's acceptable? Why have you done this?

Why are you doing this?

Do you know what you're capable of? Anything you set your mind to.

And execute towards anything big or small.

It all is hard.

I'm watching this thing. It's like thousand pound sisters or whatever. I'm watching it with the kids, actually.

And I seriously say, there's One girl weighs 650 pounds. She can barely move. She has no life. Her waking up is a big deal. Her standing up is a very big deal. And I tell my kids, Mark and

Drea, she has a hard life. Waking up early, eating the proper foods, doing the work at the gym, and executing towards goals. Getting uncomfortable, being uncomfortable.

Pick your hard.

What do you want this game of life to be for you?

I'm at. I'm in Nashville.

I got my kids watching me. My wife's there, my parents are there, my uncle's there. I bring them for accountability to show

them that dad's not around. Their son is showing up to be in the game of life. Talking big, dreaming big. I come from my parents.

I wasn't born with a silver spoon.

If you've been following show, you know that.

Far from it.

My mom and dad look at me

like, dude, this is amazing. Mark. So proud of you.

You're damn right you are. I'm not doing it to get be proud of. I'm doing it because it's what I need to do. We sit here and look at what's

going on in the world of America. Specifically, it's all around the world. But I'm talking about America first.

See all these people talking shit online, everywhere. They ain't going to do nothing. They're all talk, they're sloppy, they're overweight, they're broke and they just keep talking. This, this, that, this, this. Show us up.

Cool.

What are you going to do in your life? Are you hard working? Are you in shape? Are you financially fit, physically fit? Are you being nice, saying hello, smiling, opening the door for people, being respectful? What are your standards? See, it's easy to throw shade on everyone when you're sloppy. Back to this thousand pound sister. The 650 pound sister is telling the 400 pound sister how to lose weight. She clearly knows how to do it right. We have to unite ourselves. We have to get serious about us. It starts with you and only you. What does your fitness look like? What does your financial fitness look like? Are you a kind person?

Are you trying?

Are you, are you a penny pinching miser? Are you a dick? But yet you say, oh, the world needs to be a better place, we'll do something about it. You become better. It starts with us independently and then you start changing your friends and educating your friends on how we're going to move. Our standard of execution is we're hard working, honest, physically fit. Instead of drinking beers, go to the gym. Instead of doing bar parties and hanging out and getting a limo, go take a bus and go do a trip somewhere, a health trip. Get serious about this game of life. This is one shot, one. When I sit there in an audience and I watch the kids watching their parents play, the life so small. And I know these people genuinely, I truly think they want a bigger life. But all their decisions are small. They think about the wrong things. They're thinking about saving a dollar, a $10 or $100. They're thinking about how to hire A players with B, C, D salaries. They're playing in the $300,000 a year range business model, thinking they're crushing it. Do you understand? That's nothing. Nothing. You are the bottleneck. You are the problem. You have an identity issue and you need to fix it if you want a bigger life. If not, that's fine too. But don't act like it capable of so much. It's interesting to me.

People are there and they're like, you know, we talked a lot because I had a guy come in, his name's Richard, come in and talk about family, legacy. Not just about leaving money, but about creating memories and living Your legacy while you're alive. Let me say it again. Living your legacy while you're alive. What does your family Bible look like? How do you treat others? More importantly, how do you treat yourself? How do you carry yourself? Are you trying to get better every day? Not trying, but what are you doing every day? Every Friday at 8am I take my wife to a breakfast date. Eight to 9:30, religiously. I send my wife many emails. Ideally, the goal is once a day. It doesn't happen every day to let her know what's going on, what I'm thinking about, what I'm dreaming about, what I'm scheming about, if we had an argument, what I heard, what I didn't hear, maybe even apologize once in a while.

But I communicate.

Are you communicating? Are you getting better at communicating? I just want to win the game of life. I'm not trying to impress you. I'm not trying to impress anybody. I'm trying to be a better me. More importantly, truth is, why I'm here on this podcast costs me money to do this, takes my time to do this, my team's time to do this. It's because I want to lead leaders. I genuinely love helping people that want to help themselves. I have a beautiful, beautiful friendships with many people. And I'm talking killers.

They push me.

I push them to be better daily. Positive peer pressure is a very powerful thing in my world. We all slip up sometimes. We all get in weird funky spaces sometimes.

But what do you do?

Who do you call?

Who do you connect with when you're slipping? Who's keeping you in check when you're

all talking, no action?

Who's pushing you to be a bigger

thinker, a bigger doer, bigger giver?

Who?

Who? Who is it? And then start getting down to real reality. How long have they the person that you just picked out of thin air?

How long have they been pushing you

to get bigger and better? How far have you come from them pushing you? Supposedly? Now listen, unless you're in that 5% category, most of you are right where you're at, if not less. And, and you're saying, oh, they support me so much. Oh, they're always there by my side. Well, do they really love you? Because if they did, they tell you step your game up. They'd shoot direct with you. They wouldn't say, it's a great idea, Johnny, keep going, buddy. No, they'd say, dude, that's a dumb ass idea. No one's going to buy it. Clearly. You've been six years in it, it's not working.

Pivot, evolve, execute, next.

That's what real friends do. But we're talking. Richard's talking about kids. I 100% will not be raising dipshit kids, nor will anybody in my community. The Diem family and the Diem alliance. Individuals are very mindful about living their legacy while they're alive. Our kids are very important to us. We will kill for our kids, literally. However, with that said, there's a lot of money being created inside of the community as an individual. And these individuals are very conscious of raising kids with a lot of money. Do I leave them a million dollars? $100 million? A billion dollars? Do I buy them things when they just want them? How do I have them earn it? How do I give them the hustle muscle that I have, etc. And there's a big difference in this game of life between struggle and suffer. I'm not a professional here, but Richard is, and he talked a lot about, your kids must struggle. It's good for them, it's how they learn, but it's not about them suffering. Suffering is drastically different than struggling. You would not be where you're at in your life if you didn't struggle. You'd be the person you wouldn't want to be. People that don't struggle are not the type of people you want to be. I promise you that. It's not a good life because they're struggling in different ways, but they're at the gym, they're pushing hard. That's good struggle. But then I stop and think as they say this, Richard's saying this, then I'm looking, I'm watching in the audience and I'm getting ready to come back on stage. And I, as I did come on stage, I said, you know what? Who in here is struggling right now? A lot of hands went up. People struggling with staff, people struggling with deals, people struggling with finance, people struggling with relationships, etc.

There's struggle going on.

I said, cool. Who in here is suffering? No hands went up. Struggle's good. Suffering, not so much. I see a lot of people self inflict suffering, but struggle is not a bad thing. It's a lesson. It's forging you, it's turning you, it's sharpening your iron. You're getting stronger. My biggest fear is the people that live in struggle, though, for years and years and years.

And it's not just struggle, it's the same struggle.

We're all kids. Some are just older than others. Deep down inside, I know you Want to be amazing human being. Deep down inside, I know you have big dreams. Deep down inside, I know you're capable of accomplishing those big dreams. Deep down inside, I know you know the struggle will get you to the next level. But no one likes going through struggle. I've never made anybody said, man, I can't wait to struggle today. But we all know when we struggle and we push, it gives us confidence, it gives us clarity, it gives us lessons of what not to do next time. And we keep learning and growing and pushing. Struggle is very relevant, by the way. It's relative. I mean, it's very relative because struggle to you and me could be drastically different depending where you're at in the cycle of the game. If you're struggling right now, just remember it's happening for you, not to you.

Because when it rains, it pours.

Have you ever thought the storm gets worse before it gets better? That's pretty much every storm. So when it rains, now it's pouring. Guess what's on the other side of the pouring down rain? Typically good, gets better.

But what I see a lot of

people do is they like have the tendency of going back into struggle because you know how to deal with it. I genuinely think most people aren't good at winning. They start to win, they sabotage. Don't be that person. There's no need to do it. When I look at, when I again, when I'm on the stage looking down at 130ish people, or if I was talking to you one on one, I would ask one simple question. What's your big dream? And I'm not looking for a surface level answer. I'm looking for a very clear dream.

What is it?

Most people are afraid to say it out loud because your whole life you've probably been made fun of so you've suppressed it. You don't even share with anybody. You don't even share it with yourself anymore. I know this to be true because my parents, my in laws, they don't have dreams. Their dreams would be, I just want you kids to be healthy. I want you kids to be happy.

Cool.

We're that. Now what? What do you want now? Now what's your dream? Because we're healthy and we're happy. Now what? Maybe you're listening to my voice right now and you quit dreaming. I believe most people have. I believe most people quit dreaming. They stop being curious. I wrote about this in Magician vs. Mule. Curiosity does what makes me a lot of money. I hope you didn't say curiosity kills the cat. When I get curious, and I'm curious every day, I'm dreaming, I'm expanding. Thinking about, man, I got to buy that $2.5 million car drop. Dreaming about long enough, when am I going to get it? When is it going to become important enough? Man, I've been dreaming about building that business with a thousand employees. Got a lot now, but I need a lot more to get to a thousand. Because that dream is not just about making more money, by the way. The dream is about making impact in many people's lives. Employees, employees, families, employees, kids, the customers, the clients that will acquire through that process. Yeah, we'll make a shit ton of money, but why wouldn't we? We're impacting a lot of people's lives. Course that's how it works. What is your dream? And I know most don't have it because when Richard was standing on stage, he asked, what is your dream? To leave in your. For your legacy? What does it look like? Zero hands went up. Zero, not one. Zero. Most of you are so focused on today. I hope I get through today that you're not thinking about the future. And I'm not saying you should have your heads in the cloud. Thinking about the future only and not executing daily. I'm not saying that. So don't use that as a cop out. What I'm saying is if you don't know where you're going, you're always going to feel wore out, burnout, and never excited. It's a hard life.

But if you know to get to the 500 million dollar business exit or

to get to the 100 million or whatever you're shooting for, it's going to

require a different you. And when these things show up, it's not, oh, it's hard. It's like, thank God, I'm getting closer. Thank you, God. Thank you. They don't show up if you ain't pushing forward. You're dealing with a lot of crap daily. Why not deal with the good crap to get to the big picture?

The truth is it's just you don't know where you're going. You're literally running around blindly, I should say, saying you're going to accomplish big stuff. And I'm talking to 95% of people, 5% of you listening to my voice. This is a lot. Have it figured out. No, exactly. You're shaking your head every time I say these things because you know it is true. You have to know where you're going. And listen. This is very important. It's Going to edit.

The reason most of you don't share the big dream or the big vision is because, well, I really don't know. Okay, cool. What do you know now, though? If you did know, what would it look like? It's okay to change it. It's okay to tweak it.

As you're listening to my voice right now, I'm making huge pivots. I've been busy. We've been looking to acquire some large companies, have some really cool real estate deals, cranking, have some really big business deals happening. And things are happening not by accident. There's stress, there's a lot of capital reserves happening, a lot of capital influx out, a lot of new territory. I feel like. I feel like a white belt in this new business I'm starting. I am a white belt. I don't feel like I am a white belt.

It's something so far away from what

I know, and yet I'm so excited

for it because the vehicle is so big.

Trillions of dollars with a T. Lots

of growth, lots of opportunity, lots of impact.

See, real estate's cool. Problem with real estate, there's lots of constraints, there's lots of issues, lots of.

There's just a lot of stuff. And I'm not knocking. And I've done it for 29 years,

so clearly it's been okay for me. But there's a lot of heartache in real estate. Real estate's a tough business when you start growing a real business in real estate to do it right. Because I've definitely done it wrong many times, but I have figured out how to do it right. But this new venture that I've been

adventuring into for the last seven months,

I'm a white belt.

I'm getting my ass kicked daily.

I love it because every day I'm getting a little stronger, a little wiser. Starting to understand the language. I'm starting to understand how the games played. I see it through a different lens. That's my market advantage. By the way. I'm not in the industry yet, so I see it through a different lens. I have 29 years of business knowledge in a world that they're not business savvy. I'm licking my chops every day.

I'm connecting with people that have literally been around me my whole life.

I didn't even know they existed simply because I've activated my reticular activating system. Right?

Silver Corvette.

Now you see silver Corvettes, Teslas.

You buy a Tesla today, you're going

to see them everywhere. Well, I'm in this new industry and there's multiple people I'm meeting every single day. And that industry has been in my world for a long time and I didn't even know it. It's an awesome place to be. Be 48 this year and I'm a white belt. I'm in the trenches, just like you. There's no excuse. I have lots going on, just like you. I have kids, 10 and about to be 7. Drea be 7 in April. I. I just like you. We're busy. We're all busy. I have good employees.

I have employees that are not so good. We're editing and changing and growing and pushing and we have clients and we have everything that you have.

But I'm not going to stop dreaming. I'm not going to stop building. But you must dream big.

You're not going to go recruit an amazing talent person. Like, dude, we're crushing it. We're going to hit 500 G's. 500 grand is the goal.

They'll be like, cool. How are you going to pay me 150 grand a year doing that?

How? You need to be talking tens of millions. Hopefully the goal is hundreds of millions, if not billions.

Eventually, my team right now is how do we get to 100 million as fast as humanly possible? And yearly sales, that's what the team's working on.

That's the problem.

They're working on not, hey, guys, how do we make 500 grand this year? 500 grand in this particular business we're building wouldn't even cover the lawyer fees for the year. Pick the right vehicle and make sure it's big enough that even if you it up, you can make a lot of money. Instead of getting 20% profit margins, you get 4%. But that 4% is millions of dollars. That's a mess up in business, by the way. But then you learn and you get to 15, 16, 17, 20, 24% profit margins. Now it's big. Most of you are running small operations that you're literally stripping the cash out of the company every day. Even though you say you don't take a salary, but you have a life and you go out to dinner and you go to, you know, you stop at the gas station three times a day, get beef jerky and energy drinks, and then you're at Starbucks and you're doing all this other bougie, but yet you say you don't make any money and you don't take a salary and all this stuff. You can't tell me you don't do that because I used to be that person. I don't make any money. Shit, how am I drinking a Starbucks then? They don't give it to you for free. It's coming from somewhere. All I'm saying is get in the right vehicle, something big, make it meaningful. Ask yourself how long are you willing to play small? Yes. You got to learn the techniques, the strategies, you understand what it takes to get there. But if you're sitting here. And again, I've shared this story. When I was 18, 19 years old, as a real estate investor newbie, I was going to real estate events where I'm meeting someone in the 40s, 50s and 60 year old range. They've been in business for 20 to 30 years and they had the same problem as me. That is a problem. If I went to your business industry, whatever industry you're in, and I went to an industry specific event and I talked to the people that's been there for one year to 20 years, to 30 years, to 10 years, etc. My job would go there. I want to know what's their problem? What's their problem? How big is their revenue? How big is the tam total addressable market? What are we shooting for?

How big is it?

What's the market share look like? What's, who's involved?

Who's the A players?

Who's the, who's the top 10 people in this industry?

I'm going to the top. Most of you are fucking around on

the bottom and it's stupid.

Stealing from yourself, your future and your kids are watching this stuff. You're better than that. Go to the top, direct to the top, get in the game to win it. If I'm trying to win the Super Bowl, I'm not going to the peewee coach at high school and at elementary school and said, yo bro, give me the playbook. How do I win this game? No, I might go there to learn the basic fundamentals, so I'm not wasting the main guys information time. But I'm definitely not going. I'm going to Bill Belichick, I'm going to the people that's won Super Bowls and I will do whatever I got to do to get by them and beside them. Listen to the way they talk, listen to how they make, watch them, the way they make moves, etc. That's what winners do.

You need to be in a community. You need to get around winners.

You need to, you probably think you're

winning and you have no clue what a winner is.

That's a problem for you.
