Mark has social autism. What's that you may ask? He is very direct with people and will tend to tell people what he believes to be the truth, even if people dislike him. Most people think they know someone who is direct . . . but . . . when compared to Mark . . . well . . . they may not look so direct?
Obviously . . . the following are those things that people like about Mark. :-) If you have something you do not like about Mark email service@synergysolutions.net and share what you don't like.

Past President of largest real estate franchise in the world
“Mark’s ability to quickly help business owners design and and build a BOS – Business Operating Systems to enable the business to run without the owner is truly remarkable. As the past president of the largest real estate franchise in the world, I have never experienced anything like the DNA for PEOPLE, DNA for BUSINESS and the DNA for LIFE.”

“Mark helps people to see things that are life and business changing. He is truly a dimensional thinker and seeks to help those around him with Dimensional Living“
Randy Eikermann
~ CPA
“Mark helped me discover my life vision and that changed my business and my life. For years, I’ve had a successful CPA / accounting practice, a successful marriage, family and friends . . . but felt I was missing something. The discovery of my life vision gave me the ‘deep why’ as to the importance of implementing systems to earn more money and work less hours.“

“It’s like he was able to tap into my very DNA and understood me at a level deeper than some people who have known me my whole life. Immediately after our 30 minute session, I sent a text saying “I want to do what Mark is doing!” and I’m doing it now!"
"The 30 minute Strategy Session with Mark changed my life forever!”

“Mark helps people to see things that are life and business changing. He is truly a dimensional thinker and seeks to help all those around him with Dimensional Living“
“For a long time, I 'saw' or thought I saw Mark as a business owner trying to make a living for his family, just like all the rest of us are. I thought his primary goal was the same as most people in the world- to make money so he could support himself and retire at some point to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Then I started to 'see' that this was just a reflection of where I MYSELF WAS AT.
I started to SEE that as being only on the superficial exterior. The DEEPER REALITY was and is something that I am completely unfamiliar with and still struggle sometimes to accept- that Mark is coming from a much a different place- a place that is very different than the rest of us. I do not have much access to this place. It is a place with a different conception of SELF. Where real service to mankind is the driving force not concerns with my own life issues. Hard to even imagine what this would mean to me if I were to attempt to live so differently. Much has to done first though before I could even reach the dimension where this could be a reality not just imagination. See, it is not really about making more money, doubling your income or being more successful. I started to catch glimpses of something much, much deeper. Like peering into another dimension for moments. This is what we are really being led to.”

A thrill seems to be different from an adventure because the second is always unpredictable. I had characterized Mark as a Disney “E-ticket” ride without contemplating how a thrilling experience, like the best rides Disney provided at a once premium cost, is very different from a true adventure. To be fair, I believe I intended the metaphor to apply (for me) to value.
The best rides at Disney always used to cost more money and have the longest lines. But the payoff experience was worth it. That’s how I’ve experienced Mark so far in our young relationship. My amendment today is important. However thrilling a great Disney ride might have been, after a few trips you knew what to expect. That’s only true with Mark if I resolve to expect the unexpected - like any true adventure. Frankly, this only increases the value (to me) of engaging Mark.

“I asked Mark how he stays so present during phone calls… it seems I stumped him a bit.
I actually live at a Zen center and we meditate a lot. I’m a part time practitioner. A major part of the reason we sit so much is to become present – to our own lives – both inner and outer. That can lead to being present with others.
I’ve met more than a few monks and nuns and other practitioners and Mark seems to be more present more of the time than really most of them. It’s amazing and rather cool.
He did say this, after stating he’s not ‘in the present much.’
“Today is yesterday’s future and tomorrow’s past.” Which I love and only hints at how he does it.
Thanks, Mark, for who you’ve allowed yourself to be.”

“Mark has helped me and so many other people I know start their own companies, it’s pretty amazing! I have never seen anyone who has the ability to assess people and situations so quickly and communicate solutions in a most amazing fashion.
Yes . . . I realize I’m probably prejudice, as Mark is my father. 🙂 People often ask me, ‘Is your dad really who he seems to be?' I laugh and say ‘He’s actually more!’ He is even more caring than he seems to be, more aggressive, more passionate, and attentive to details, and has the biggest heart of anyone in the world! I can assure you, you will never meet anyone like him in your life, every!”

“Mark is . . . well . . . let's say . . . interesting. Trust him when he says he has social autism. He may be the most direct human being I have ever met and it's easy to misunderstand him. His ability to connect with any age, type of person, personality, gender, ethnicity . . . really anyone is crazy. I have seen him connect in seconds and read a whole group of people of varying ages and ethnicities and impact them in the most amazing way. He has a deep understanding of people, self awareness and the ability to see deep inside of who we really are. Do NOT ask for his opinion if you don't really want it. He will share it with you and you very well might not like it. What's weird is that when people think he's a jerk, arrogant, mean, selfish or whatever they think of him . . . it's really a reflection of themselves. When people think he's being mean, it's actually means that he likes and cares for you."
