A short personal reflection (YouTube) by Mark Evans DM recalling age-18 ambitions to earn $100,000/year and describing his Goal Formula approach. The speaker criticizes people who state large financial goals but then regress or remain stagnant—arguing that talking without doing causes decline in outcomes. The piece expresses frustration with goal-talk that lacks consistent action.
I remember laying in bed when I was 18 years old, I wanted to make $100,000 a year. That's the thought. And then I put it into Goal Formula. I shared with you how I do that. But my big frustration is I talk to people 10 years from now, and they're like, I can't wait to make 250 a year. I'm like, wait, 10 years ago, you told me you wanted to make a million a year. Now you're at 250 a year. Why are you going backwards? It's because they're just talking. They're not doing. If you see people that are, like, stagnant and going down, you're going to realize that they're just talk, not do. And that's always my fear with all this stuff.
