Level 4 Friendships

Section 1: WHY are Level 4 Friendships SO valuable?

Mark shares that he would rather have ONE Level 4 friend than 1,000 Level 1 friends. Mark has lost track of how many people have said, "I don't have any friends."

Curious?

It's fascinating to Mark when he hears this, as it's often coming from women who have an expressive personality ... very charming, fun, and funny, and it seems like they have lots of friends. It's almost like ... they have lots of Level 1 friends but haven't learned how to turn them into Level 2, then Level 3, and Level 4. What's fascinating about Mark is that he will honestly say, "I have too many friends." What does he mean by that? Mark is in the most interesting season of life. 
He has an abundance of time, in large part due to the last 40+ years of his life and the hard WORK and the SACRIFICES and the RISKS he's taken to where he doesn't have a need to work to earn money.

This podcast ... well ... It's unlike any of the other thousands of podcasts that he's done. It's RAW and for many, they will be turned off ... and Mark's OK with that. SEE, Mark is on the hunt for Level 4 friends and he knows he may have to go through thousands for even tens of thousands of people to find them ... and he's willing to do the WORK, make the SACRIFICES and take the RISKS.

Section 2: Mind Mapping What Mark Deeply Values

Nora made the observation about Mark a few weeks into their friendship that "Mark's easy as he tells you precisely what he wants from you."

Curious?

What Nora meant to say is that "It's easy to KNOW what Mark wants," but it is hard to do it because you'll never find another friend like Mark. SEE ... Mark values the person more than the friendship and will put his Level 4 friends at risk when he sees something that others either don't SEE or want to SAY.

For example, the first Value Mark has is honesty. First, learning to be honest with yourself, and then learning to be honest with others. Mark is VERY clear as to how he values being honest ... yet ... It's really hard for people to be honest!
Audio Podcast
What's the hardest part? It's that we lie to ourselves all the time and get used to it, and lie to others.

If you lie to Mark, which includes deception (sharing certain facts but not others), then you are making a choice NOT to be a Level 4 friend with Mark. You are choosing to be out of flow. When you get out of flow ... well ... check out 2-2: Don't Be Locked In!

2-1: Don't Lie To Mark

Don't like to Mark and for sure don't lie to yourself! Mark shares that if you lie to him or lie to yourself he doesn't believe you will ever be a Level 4 Friend. If you lie ... well ... you knowingly move yourself out of a Level 4 friendship with Mark. It's your choice.

Curious?

Don't bother explaining why you lied (Mark will ask you if he wants to know) ... liars always have a good reason in their own mind. 

Oh ... at a Level 4 friend ... maybe any level ... if you withhold information that Mark believes he needs to make wise life decisions. 

If you seek to deceive Mark, that may actually be worse than lying.

Mark's Only Boundary ~ Don't Be Stupid!

OK ... so hopefully "you get the drill." Don't lie to Mark or lie to yourself. What's next? Don't be stupid. Now ... if you are the type of person who needs to have this spelled out ... well ... this is going to get very interesting very fast.
Would you rather be stupid or ignorant?
  • Ignorant is not KNOWING what to do.
  • ​Stupid is not DOING what we know.

What Is Stupid?
Now ... just to clear ... this is not an exhaustive list ... people keep doing more and more stupid things ... but ... it's a good start.

2-2: Don't get locked!

When Mark was 8 years old his grandfather shared something once with Mark that he has never forgotten. His grandfather died when Mark was 9 years old.

His grandfather said ...

"Mark, when someone makes an observation about you, there is some amount of truth. It could be 1% to 99% and it's not up to THEM to decide what % of truth there is, it's up to YOU to decide Mark and it's up to YOU to decide WHAT to do with it."

Curious?

You know how it seems today that everyone has all these boundaries, and it seems to Mark that the boundaries are there to HURT others and PROTECT ourselves.

Mark only as one boundar,y and it's designed to HELP & PROTECT others without regard to himself. If anything is one boundary is there to protect people from themselves.

Getting "locked" is the fastest way to get out of flow with Mark (with most people except other people who are locked in the same way you are). Mark has written a number of white papers which connect back into this.
