Mark Evans reflects on his old dream of having an office full of employees driving expensive cars, and how his thinking about leadership and money has changed. He talks about shifting from that status symbol mindset to actually empowering people financially.
When I'm walking, I was always thinking. Back in the day, I always wanted an office with employees driving cool cars. That's when I used to be a boss. They never had cool cars. Why? Because I would never pay them big money because I was too small minded about money. I didn't have a good relationship with it because if I gave them $100 extra, that's $100 on my pocket. We know that's not the case, but that's how we treat it. And then I transition in 05 to become a leader, not a boss. And through that journey of leadership, I want everyone around me winning. I'm pissed off there's not more cool cars out there. Multiple people flew in jets to get here. That's pretty cool in my opinion because it took me a long time to do that. It's not about the jet, but it's who do you have to become to pony up 50 GS to do that? Whatever the number is. You got to take these steps because again, we're trying to buy time. So my problem is I'm not serving you because I need to show you how to make more money so you don't have these problems.
