Summary: Mark’s new son has him all riled up. He’s got broader, bigger, more powerful goals on his mind because of the arrival of this little guy. As he holds his little boy he’s realizing the importance of legacy and sees more clearly what it really is. It’s not about the money or the success, it’s about the things that he can provide for his family to live a rich, full, meaningful life. In this episode of the Real Estate Power Hour Mark Evans, DM, DN is going to challenge you with the things that are bouncing around in his head since the birth of his son, and ask you one question: “When you stand before the mirror, naked, looking at who you really are, what questions should you be asking that will drive you to the next level?” Why you should never listen to anyone who doesn’t have skin in the game. Mark hears jokers around him all the time, people who are talking about this or that in the business world or in regard to the financial markets. They sound like they know what they’re talking about and certainly have big, strong opinions about things, but in the next breath they complain about having to work 40 hours a week and are thankful to be having time off. If they’re so smart when it comes to the business realm or the financial markets, why are they still working a 40 hour a week job? Why aren’t they putting their knowledge to work for themselves? The answer is simple: They’re posers. They’re not really as smart as they think. That’s why you should NEVER listen to anyone who doesn’t have skin in the game. If you do, you’ll lose - big. Listen in to this episode as Mark Evans, DM, DN tells you what you’ve got to do to begin building that family legacy today. The ability to build a strong legacy is not in who you listen to, it’s in the questions you ask. When you stand naked before the mirror, just you and nobody else, you’ve got to be able to ask and answer some very serious questions. Who are you? What do you stand for? What’s the purpose of your life? Is what you have now all there is? What do you need to do in order to move to the next level, and the next level, and the level after that? If you aren’t willing to ask those questions and come up with honest, gut-level answers, you’ll never begin taking steps to build a legacy that lasts far beyond your lifetime. You’ll never see your kids move into their adult lives with freedom and confidence that you had to scrape tooth and nail to develop. It starts now. In front of that mirror. Question at a time.
