Why Most Entrepreneurs Fail (And How to Be the Exception)
Hey, it’s your boy Mark Evans DM, and today we’re gonna get into something real—“Everything happens for a reason.” You’ve heard that a million times, right? But here’s the real question—what’s your reason? 💭
The Market’s Shaking Things Up. What’s Your Move?
Right now, we’re in a market that’s shaking things up, big time. Some folks are losing their heads, others are frozen, scared to make a move. But guess what? This is YOUR moment. 💥 Money is still moving. People are still spending. Bills are still being paid. The trick is to figure out who’s got the cash and position yourself right there.
But before you jump in, you gotta ask yourself: Why am I doing this? When you know your “why,” you can handle any curveball the world throws at you. Trust me, I’ve been through some storms, and it’s knowing my reason that kept me steady.
Why Your “Why” Is Everything
Your “why” is your rocket fuel. It’s what fires you up when you don’t feel like getting out of bed. It’s what keeps you grinding when others tap out. And here’s the truth—it’s gotta be bigger than just making money. It’s gotta be about creating a life you love, a legacy you’re proud of.
So, how do you find that “why”? Start with what makes you tick. What gets you excited? Is it your family? Your freedom? Building something that matters? Whatever it is, grab onto it. Write it down, stick it on your wall, say it out loud every day. Make it your guiding star.
Spot the Opportunities Everyone Else Misses
While everyone else is focused on the doom and gloom, you’ve gotta look for the light. 💡 The market is still packed with opportunities. People have problems they need solved, and money is flowing somewhere—you just need to find it!
Don’t sit back, hoping for things to change. Be the one who changes things. Ask yourself, “Who’s got my money? How can I serve them better than anyone else out there?” That’s where you need to put your energy.
Move with a Purpose
Knowing your "why" is powerful, but action is where the magic happens. Make a plan, be smart, and move with intention. Don’t just keep doing what you’ve always done. Pivot, adjust, find what works, and double down on it.
Start small if you need to. Take one bold step today. Maybe it’s reaching out to a new client, launching a product, or getting out of your comfort zone. Whatever it is, make sure it aligns with your “why.”
Surround Yourself with the Right People
Listen up—this one’s huge: You gotta hang with the right people. Find those who have been through tough times, who know how to dig deep and keep pushing. Find those who have a reason that drives them, who are on a mission to win. Their energy is contagious—it’ll lift you up and keep you moving.
I can’t tell you how many times my circle has pulled me through when I was about to make a dumb move or when I felt like throwing in the towel. Surround yourself with winners, and you’ll start winning too.
Ready to Find Your Reason?
So, what’s it gonna be? Are you just gonna wait and hope things get better, or are you gonna step up, find your reason, and make things happen? Remember, everything happens for a reason—but it’s up to you to decide what that reason is gonna be.
Take a few minutes today and write down your “why.” Keep it where you can see it. Let it guide your every move. You’ll see how clear things become when you know what you’re fighting for.
Wrapping It Up
Here’s the deal: Life and business are always gonna have ups and downs. But when you know your “why,” you’re ready for whatever comes your way. Use this market as your playground to grow stronger, smarter, and tougher. Stay locked in on your reason, take action with purpose, and surround yourself with people who are ready to win.
Now, let’s get out there and make it happen, Dealmaker!
