At 48, Mark Livingston found himself divorced with very little money to his name and nothing saved up for his kids. It was a wake-up call that he couldn’t rely on traditional savings vehicles and Wall Street to prepare him for retirement and secure a good life for his family. Instead of letting his setbacks define him, Mark used his 35 years of experience as a corporate executive and CPA to turn his life around.


After investing in land flipping and realizing that it takes too much of his time, he founded Match Real Assets - an investment management company that helps investors find lucrative passive and high-performing real asset investment deals. He’s creating opportunities for others that he previously needed himself.


His latest project involves extracting helium from natural gas by purchasing an operational natural gas field and adding value through the use of advanced helium-extracting technology. With his extensive knowledge of financial regulations and a strategic, long-term approach to investing, Mark has proven that it's never too late to start building a better future.


Adversities Mark had to overcome:


  • Divorce
  • Low net worth
  • Nothing saved up for his kids or his retirement
  • Tried to buy a business, but lost the deal
  • Working too much


Abundance Mark created:

  • Rediscovered love and remarried
  • Buying and selling parcels of land
  • Scaling his land investing business
  • Starting an investment management company


Lessons from Mark’s adversities

  • Seek out entrepreneurs and learn from them
  • Don’t live in a box someone else created for you, explore what you want to explore
  • Coaching can change your life and help you discover what you’re meant to do
