You just made one of the wisest decisions that you will make this year.

Here’s why:

In case you don’t already know who I am, allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Mark, and I'm a young ambitious kid from Vancouver Canada who loves sports, fitness, learning about the world, learning about business, learning about the human mind, and sharing key takeaways that I learn on my journey of self-improvement.

I am here to provide you with genuine value that I know for a fact will make your life better.

How do I know this? Because I only share practical advice that has actually helped me in my life, and that I know can help you too.

I know what you may be thinking. What can this young kid really do for me?

That’s a valid question. A lot of people look at a young guy like myself and automatically discredit the value that I can provide. If you think this, I’m not mad at you. I would probably think the same way actually if I was in your shoes.

Here’s why I am different. I will never claim to be something I am not.

If you read my emails you will see that I’m not sending them just to make a quick buck.

The reason I send an email newsletter is because it allows me to learn and gather important information which helps me grow and by default helps my reader grow.

After I graduated from high school, I spent a few months living with one of my best friends in the home of my friend’s brother.

My friend’s brother, who’s name I won’t mention, is an online entrepreneur who makes a few million dollars per year online from his business.

Why am I telling you this?

Because this is how my journey started. When living with him, I observed his habits and learned what he does on a daily basis that translates to success.

If there is one main thing that I learned throughout this experience it would have to be the importance of constantly learning.

My friend’s brother told me that the average CEO reads 60 books per year, while the average high school graduate will maybe read one book per year. 33% of high school graduates never read another book again after graduating.

And if you just read 1 book per month, that will put you in the top 1% of income earners.

So I became a learner.

Fast forward about a year, and I am now helping my mom with her business by doing some marketing for her.

I did outreach and prospecting. I created marketing emails. I created funnels. I created videos for her blog. And the most challenging thing that I did was create a video sales letter for her and run advertising campaigns on LinkedIn with the help of a coach that she hired. This coach was close friends with Sam Ovens and was another great mentor to me who I learned a lot from.

On the side, I tried a variety of businesses. All of which failed or that I just really didn’t care that much for.

The business that I had the most success with was my video editing and production business that I started after helping my mom in her business with some video and editing work myself.

This business put some money in my pocket, and to this day I will take on people who approach me with a project as a client, but I stopped doing outreach for this business because it just isn’t something that I am super passionate about.

Like most people who start or want to start a business, you are motivated by my money above all else.

But you quickly realize that money doesn’t really matter when the thing that you are doing to make it doesn’t excite you.

I always admired entrepreneurs like Dana White, because you can tell that they absolutely love what they do.

Another entrepreneur like this who is extremely passionate about what he does is my cousin. In 2022 my cousin came to Vancouver.

My cousin who is much older than me, is someone who I always heard interesting things about when growing up.

My cousin started off doing door to door sales and then went on to start his own company that sells custom bespoke suits.

Recently his company has been reaching great heights even making suits for well known celebrities, athletes, and influencers.

When he was in Vancouver however, he was here to personally deliver suits and create content with Dan Lok, who was someone who I watched before for business content.

My cousin invited me to come and I got to meet Dan and spend the day with two high level entrepreneurs. I even helped bring some of Dan’s shirts and suits down to his car lol.

This was another great learning experience for me. And I already made a post on my Twitter about what I learned from Dan that day so I won’t go into that here.

But if you’re here I will share with you something valuable that I took away from my cousin while he was in Vancouver.

As a young guy, I’m still trying to figure things out and navigate the world, so I like asking older and more successful people like my cousin questions to hear their perspective on things.

While in town, I asked my cousin, “How many hours per week would you say you work?”

Expecting to hear an answer like “40 hours”, “12 hours a day”, “100 hours a week” or something close to that, he actually said something that I wasn’t expecting to hear.

He said, “When you get to a certain point, there is no longer work-life balance. Your life is your work and your work is your life. All your best friends work with you or are somehow involved in your business. Everything I do is usually work related. And I love it.”

The more I thought about what he said, and observed other ultra successful people, the more I realized that this statement is 100% true.

So I asked myself, if this is the case, what kind of life do I want to create for myself?

How can I create a business that literally is my life?

It didn’t happen immediately, but I decided that I am just going to start writing about things that I like and are interested in learning more about.

Of course success, business, and fitness are things that I am passionate about, but I also like learning about AI and human psychology.

That’s what I have decided to make my brand about.

If these things interest you too, then I think you will find my content interesting and valuable.

If you are just realizing that maybe you and I don’t align, then that’s ok too.

Anyways that is it for now.

Again I want to thank you for taking action and signing up to my newsletter. My goal is to not make you regret this decision by actually providing real value and knowledge to you.

If you have any questions for me you can reach me at mark@marpolmedia.com

Keep on learning.

Mark

P.S. I have two gifts for you for joining my newsletter. The first one is a free training that shows you how to create high-converting Video Sales Letters in under 30 minutes.

The second gift is an ebook with 50 natural ways you can boost your testosterone. If you are a man this is super important. There are some affiliate links in the ebook but I honestly wouldn’t even recommend using them. If you choose to get any of the supplements in there I would suggest using iherb.com.

You can access both gifts by clicking the buttons below.

Cheers!
