48. Mark Lack - How to Shorten the Gap

In this episode, Mark discusses the mindset transformation that allowed him to shorten the gap of where he was and where he wanted to be! He talks about using your time effectively in order to be more productive with results.

Mark Lack went from being a shy introverted kid who was bullied in school to a self-made millionaire entrepreneur all while in his 20s. Unfortunately, with the change in economy it forced him to rethink his life and the direction he was going. Since then he has gone on to achieve some amazing results such as becoming a best-selling author, international speaker, Entrepreneur’s top rated personal branding expert, and host of the largest business show in America called Business Rockstars.


Mark tells listeners: “I got fed up with the life that I was dealing with versus the life that I could have and I started reading books to bridge the gap or shorten the gap to where I wanted to be and what I said I wanted and I realized, no matter what I did I would never have what I want.”


In this episode, you will learn:

  • That having good mentors will make an immense impact on your life 
  • The difference between being productive and achieving results
  • You attract what you ARE not what you want
