Why Being the Dumbest in the Room Is the Smartest Move!

Hey, it’s your boy Mark Evans DM, and today we’re talking about something that can change your game forever—getting in the right rooms. 🙌 Look, business and life can be tough, and the universe has a way of throwing curveballs at us all. But here’s the truth: The rooms you’re in make ALL the difference. 🌍

Why the Right Room Matters

Let me break it down for you: Your success depends on who you surround yourself with. Ever notice how some people seem to always be leveling up? It’s because they’re in rooms where they’re pushed, challenged, and inspired to do more.

The right room can be a total game-changer. 🚀 When you’re in a room filled with people who think big, act big, and expect big things, guess what? You start thinking, acting, and expecting big things too! It’s like catching a good vibe—when everyone around you is winning, you can’t help but want to win too.

Don’t Just Settle—Seek Out Better Rooms

Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t be grateful for the rooms you’re already in. Be thankful for those opportunities, but don’t get too comfortable. Always be on the lookout for rooms where you’re the “dumbest” guy or the one making the least. Why? Because that’s where you grow. That’s where you learn.

If you’re always the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room, my friend. You’ve gotta be in a room where you’re constantly learning new things, picking up new skills, and hearing ideas that blow your mind. That’s how you level up. 💪

Find Your Next Room

So, how do you find the right room? Start by looking for places where the people are ahead of you. This could be a mastermind group, a meetup, an event, or even an online community. The key is to find people who have been where you want to go.

Here’s a practical tip: This month, make it a point to attend one event or join one group that stretches you. Look for people who are crushing it, and learn from them. Ask questions, listen more than you talk, and soak up everything you can.

Be Ready to Get Uncomfortable

Let me tell you, getting in the right rooms isn’t always easy. Sometimes, you’ll feel like you don’t belong. You might feel out of place or even a little dumb. And you know what? That’s a good thing!

Being the smallest fish in the big pond means you have the most room to grow. 🐟 So don’t let that discomfort scare you off—embrace it. Growth doesn’t happen in your comfort zone. It happens when you’re willing to feel awkward, ask the “dumb” questions, and learn from those who are ahead of you.

Add Value Wherever You Go

Now, here’s the thing—don’t just go into these rooms looking to take. Think about what you can give. Offer value, whether it’s sharing a useful tip, helping someone out, or just being genuinely interested in others’ success. Relationships are built on give and take, so make sure you’re adding to the room, not just taking from it.

Reflect and Adjust

Once you start finding these rooms, take time to reflect. Are these rooms helping you grow? Are they pushing you to think bigger and do more? If not, find new rooms. The right rooms will make you feel like anything is possible. They’ll challenge you, inspire you, and help you see opportunities you never even thought of.

The Bottom Line

So, here’s the deal, Dealmaker: The rooms you’re in can make or break you. Surround yourself with people who challenge you, teach you, and push you to be your best. Don’t just settle for the rooms you’re comfortable in. Seek out the ones that stretch you, make you think differently, and force you to level up.

Find one new room this month where you can be the “smallest fish.” Don’t be afraid to get uncomfortable—it’s where the magic happens.

Let’s get out there and start finding those rooms that make us better every day!
