Mark Evans DM frames goals as deals you make with yourself, arguing that real leadership means lifting others and asking for help. He balances personal roles as a father and husband with building a business, emphasizing continuous learning as the path from learning to leading.
So on the deal maker side of things, when you make that deal, some people might call it a commitment. Some people might say, write a goal down. To me, I'm making a deal. If I'm putting it on paper, I'm going to make that goal a reality because I just made a deal with myself, right? So I do that. And then also, oh, man, it's like, I want to be a leader. I want to be the best dad, I want to be the best husband, I want to be the best father, I want to be the best brother, the best, you know, cousin, uncle, all that. So to me, the deal I've made with myself is to constantly be evolving. I got to always be learning. I don't know anything. I'm just, you know, learning in progress at all times. So at the end of the day, like, that's on the business and the person, the personal side, on the business side, man, it's just we are typically the leaders of the business game that we're in. So how do we look at this and say, hey, who can I bring up with me? Who can help us? Like, always asking for help. I think the ultimate deal maker asks for help, you know, not an asshole, just ask questions, but like, yo, man, I need help. They help you and they help, you know, and now all of a sudden, it's a super strength in entrepreneurship.
