Business
No one thought Mark Evans would graduate from high school. Even his teachers thought he should probably just try to pass and then get a minimum wage job. But Mark had different plans for his life! He started his first business (a real estate company) at 19, then acquired another company shortly after. He learned on the fly and, after nearly sending one of his companies into bankruptcy, he started or acquired multiple cash-flowing businesses over the years. Not surprisingly, his friends and coaching students call him “The DM” (which stands for “The Deal-Maker”). But don’t mistake Mark for just another cliché burnt-out entrepreneur with a huge portfolio of businesses but no time to enjoy the reward. After starting or acquiring multiple businesses, Mark realized that he wanted to enjoy a life and lifestyle that few entrepreneurs had time to enjoy. Mark taught himself the power of building a “virtual” business (meaning: he could run his businesses from anywhere). That’s why his friends and coaching students also call him “The DN” (which stands for “The Digital Nomad”). Whether he’s sipping an ice cold beer on a Caribbean beach or walking the famous Camino de Santiago or riding on the back of an elephant in India, he’s also running two 8-figure businesses How does he do it? It’s simple: Mark combines systems and a team, and emphasizes “data, not drama” in his approach to running his businesses.
