I'M MARK  DRAGER

I BELIEVE

We all have
something
to prove.

For those of us who choose this path — the daunting, yet exhilarating path of being a creative entrepreneur — it's clear we’re not built like everyone else.

Others think we’re foolish, even a little crazy.  But we know better.  We're a bunch of driven-dreamers.  

We’ve stepped out of the imagined safety of a traditional career.  We've set our own direction, taking the risks and claiming the rewards.

​

And while it's always thrilling at first, when reality sets in we find ourselves alone questioning, why did I think I could pull this off?

​

It's a question we've all asked.  The world's greatest business minds, rockstar athletes, academy award-winning actors — each and every one of us has felt that gripping moment of fear, no matter our past success.

I hope that through the people I profile, the collaborations I'm a part of, and the work we do at my agency, I'll help you unlock your next level. 

That's because our world is filled with constant change, overwhelming uncertainty, and people who sit on the sidelines to watch us fail.

It's the doubters, the haters, every person who's ever given you that worried look when you explain your idea, hell, even that little voice in the back of your mind - each of these stack up to allow your fear and doubt to take hold.

​

They leave you feeling like maybe they know something you don't.  Maybe they're right and you're wrong.  Maybe you're crazy, but not the right type of crazy everyone admires, just the foolish kind that leaves you sad and penniless.

​

That's BS of course.  And it's time to prove it.

​

It's time to show to the doubters you're not full of shit.  To shut the haters down through bold action. To teach yourself what a badass you really are.

​

It’s time to prove to the world, and yourself, that you have what it takes to make it happen.

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE BEST

Courage is
what you need.

There's only one you.  And it takes courage to go all-in on you.

The courage to trust your gut while also pushing your comfort zone.

​

The courage to say what others can't or simply won't say.

​

The courage to see 10x ahead of where you are now, believing that you can make it happen.

​

Courage is what we admire most from extraordinary people, companies, and brands.

​

And you build courage by surrounding yourself with extraordinary people.  The type of people who force you to raise your standards.  The type of people who show you what's possible.

​

I'm captivated by courageous people.  The things they've done.  The way they think.  And the lesson's they've learned.

THINK BIG.
BE BOLD.
SAY YES.

Here's what I know.

When things get tough, when things get hard, when you're not sure you can make your dreams and all of your plans happen - you need to follow 3 simple steps.

#1) You need to think big.

So big that it scares you.  So big that you're afraid to share your ideas with anyone because you're terrified they're going to laugh in your face.

#2) You need to be bold.

The type of bold that reveals the real you.  The type of bold that gives you the courage to make anything you focus on happen.

#3) You just need to say yes.

Give yourself permission to chase your dreams down.  Give yourself permission to try.  To win or to learn.

Say yes to the big-thinking you.
Say yes to the bold-acting you.
Say yes to the crazy-gonna-make-it-happen you.

That's my version of an #Extraordinary life.
