Mark Dolan – Sales Strategist | Mindset Mentor | Founder, Time Tested Mastery

Mark Dolan is a seasoned real estate expert and high-performance coach with over four decades of experience as a broker, builder, investor, and team leader. From humble beginnings and early insecurity, Mark transformed himself into a top producer by mastering one powerful truth: sales—and success—are skills anyone can learn.

As founder of Time Tested Mastery and host of the podcast Life Lessons Sell, Mark now trains entrepreneurs, sales teams, and young professionals to rise above excuses, build resilience, and lead with integrity.

His message is especially powerful for those who didn’t grow up with strong mentors—because he didn’t either.
