About Mark: I am a Florida native, who enjoys adventure, growing tropical fruit and adding value to the lives of others. I worked in critical care for 15 years. I dabbled in pro wrestling for a season, learning under Steve Kerr at Florida Championship Wrestling. 2019 I quit my nursing job to start our own unique legal services business: Noble Notary & Legal Document Preparers and digital download site (ladybirddeed.net) that offers ladybird deed preparation. Which continues to thrive and grow. In 2022 alongside my wife of 15 year wrote the book "A Golden Pen" about our business model which is low overhead, low inventory, high demand, and high mark-up. We released a follow up book at the end of January 2023 about remote online notarization called "A Digital Pen" as well as run Noble Notary Signing Service Agency, and extension of our legal document service that hires mobile notaries across the state of Florida. We began coaching aspiring entrepreneurs to replicate our methods, eventually creating a course called Notary Prosperity Academy. We place an emphasis on letting profits drive you into new growth and expansion by adding additional "side-hustle" services to your business plan. I have been on several interviews with popular YouTube influencers, live radio, podcasts like The Chris Voss Show, and more... telling our story and offering business advice and encouragement on my own social medial channels & podcast as well. As a Christian, I want to enrich the lives of as many others as I can by encouraging people to grow with consistency and by taking actionable steps, even if they are just baby steps!

Nancy and I take a deep dive and a deep look into the importance of building your personal brand, your business brand, what it means to "get rich quick", and not putting all your eggs into one basket. It is so important to have multiple streams of income so you can diversify your business, your strategy, and your impact. In all honestly, "getting rich quick" really means it takes time to get to where you want to be, and that can be done in 5-10 years, which in all reality is super quick. Don't fall for the spammy and salesy tactics you see online. Get clear, get focused, and be consistent!

Nancy and I detail the "dark side" of entrepreneurship. There are so many scams and spammy marketing tactics out there it's hard to see through all of the noise what is real and what's not.

Nancy and I have a truthful and honest discussion about "why you should go with what you know" in business. If you want to be an "expert" and a great coach/leader, you don't need to know "all the things", but you should know what needs to be done to move the needle for someone else, but that truly starts with helping yourself first. Gain the knowledge, get the results for yourself, and take it to the marketplace to help others do the same thing. Do the work that is necessary to succeed with what you want to offer.

In today's episode, Nancy and I peel back the curtain on the real and honest truth about what goes on behind the scenes of entrepreneurship. Yes, there are a lot of people who are "killin' it" from what you see on social media, but are they really? There is so much volatility in the entrepreneurial marketplace, that it's sometimes hard to tell who is and who isn't being truthful. This episode is a mouthful, so we hope you enjoy it!

Nancy and I take a deep dive into why someone's "ego" will eventually bankrupt your business. You will end up pushing people away instead of bringing them closer to you. In business, it's important to be relatable, empathetic, sympathetic, and understanding. Instead of "peacocking" about your success, find out how you can help or serve someone else.
