- 2:20Okay, everybody.
- 2:21We have Taryn King back, with horse and hearth.
- 2:23If you didn't get enough last time, we're going to dive into a little bit
- 2:27more specialization and the power of specialization, what she's seen it in
- 2:31her business, previous video, we talked a lot about niching down and why that's
- 2:36important and, you know, starting to think outside the box as we, we might have to
- 2:41build these ecosystems in order to, you know, get our businesses up and running.
- 2:45Right.
- 2:45It's not just a, a thing that we can do now.
- 2:48So, it's, it's might be a way of business moving forward.
- 2:51It's just not the top agents have this specific specialty and niche.
- 2:55It might be something that really people can dive into and save
- 2:59their businesses as we, you know, we'll have some change coming.
- 3:02So, check that one out, but let's dive into specialization.
- 3:07Taryn.
- 3:08Is an amazing, agent in my organization, the Wolfpack.
- 3:12She offers a unique perspective on niching down and specializing.
- 3:17She specialized in the horse industry.
- 3:18So tell us a little bit about the power of specialization in that time in your
- 3:23career that you really saw some change.
- 3:26So let's see.
- 3:27I was licensed first in 2014.
- 3:30Kind of fell into real estate.
- 3:31I think like most people do.
- 3:33And I was in Boston.
- 3:35There's not many horse properties out there.
- 3:36So it was never on my radar.
- 3:38I was just like, this is what I'm going to do.
- 3:40I'm going to figure this out.
- 3:41I want to be an entrepreneur.
- 3:43That was kind of my personality.
- 3:44And about two or three years, I did move back out here to Colorado.
- 3:48Still never horse, horse properties were not on my radar at that point.
- 3:52And I.
- 3:53I struggled in residential, you know, it's really saturated.
- 3:59I just couldn't find my groove.
- 4:01I couldn't find the passion.
- 4:03Like, what am I going to do?
- 4:04How am I going to market?
- 4:05How am I going to differentiate?
- 4:07That's a huge conversation.
- 4:08And so for about the first three years out here, Just kind of mediocre business.
- 4:14Didn't really have a lot going, was not really passionate about what I was doing.
- 4:18And so I think that translates over to your direct business
- 4:22results pretty clearly.
- 4:23It was kind of just take whatever I could get first time homebuyers,
- 4:26subdivisions, land, whatever it was.
- 4:29I was going to do it.
- 4:30And when I realized that there was, there were so many horse properties
- 4:36out here in comparison to where I was previously and that this was a long term
- 4:40career for me, I wasn't going anywhere.
- 4:43Real estate was the thing.
- 4:44I started feeling like this is what I want to do, but I didn't
- 4:48feel good enough to do it yet.
- 4:50I felt like I had to prove myself in residential.
- 4:53I had some Former brokers tell me, you know, you're not, you're not qualified
- 4:57to touch those luxury properties yet, and you can't do this or that.
- 5:01And I listened to them, unfortunately, for a little bit of time.
- 5:04And then I said, you know what?
- 5:06Forget all that.
- 5:07This is what I want to do.
- 5:08These are, these are my people.
- 5:10This is what I know, and these are the properties I'm really
- 5:12passionate about, and that changed my business entirely, almost overnight.
- 5:17It definitely became something as soon as I started allowing myself
- 5:21to reach out, and I remember specifically looking up this property
- 5:26in Littleton that had expired.
- 5:28I think 15 times with 10 different agents and I said,
- 5:31I'm going to sell that property.
- 5:33I didn't know how I didn't know how I was going to figure out who these people were.
- 5:38It was like a 10 million listing was ridiculous.
- 5:40But I said, I'm going to do it.
- 5:41And in 2022, we sold that property.
- 5:44As some, you know, life just kind of happens and lines up.
- 5:47Once you allowed yourself and gave yourself permission, that
- 5:51is where everything changed.
- 5:52And I can't believe I'm only mad now that I didn't do it earlier.
- 5:55That's the only thing.
- 5:57Right.
- 5:57So you kind of made that decision, that kind of speaks to Terrence
- 6:00determination, and, I can only imagine the conversations that you were having
- 6:05in your, you know, brilliant marketing brain where you were just marketing
- 6:09yourself as a real estate agent with.
- 6:12You know, probably a fancy car and doing the thing.
- 6:15So, well, maybe not if you weren't selling houses, but yeah.
- 6:21So, and now, you know, obviously you're super fancy car, your F three 50 that
- 6:25you drive around, that's definitely a differentiator, for your brand for sure.
- 6:30So let's talk a little bit about the differentiation and how you went about
- 6:33that by nature, horse properties are not.
- 6:37Usually on city water and maybe don't have, you know, septic or maybe have
- 6:42water rights and, and there's all kinds of zoning things that go on.
- 6:46So I think a lot of people just kind of do the thing and they're like,
- 6:50okay, let's figure it out because.
- 6:53Hey, you liked horses, right?
- 6:55I, you probably didn't understand Colorado water, Colorado, you
- 6:59know, septic and all of that.
- 7:00So talk a little bit about the time spent and how you kind of differentiated
- 7:04and transitioned into this market.
- 7:06Not from a, you know, just throw spaghetti at the wall.
- 7:11It's and you have to be careful, right?
- 7:13Because you can get yourself into some hot water.
- 7:15If you get into an arena where you really don't know what you're doing.
- 7:19Look at all those puns.
- 7:20Hot water arena.
- 7:22Well, here we are.
- 7:23Oh, I am coming from.
- 7:25Austin, like water rights was a foreign language to me.
- 7:29I was like, what do you mean?
- 7:30We don't, it can't just water my animals.
- 7:32Like that's absurd.
- 7:33Right.
- 7:34And so I did have to, I realized first that I was out of my element.
- 7:37And I think that was the first thing was, okay, I do want to go down this direction.
- 7:41What does that mean?
- 7:42And kind of looking, I just, I scoured the MLS to see these properties,
- 7:48to figure out how they were listed, what they were talking about.
- 7:51And then from there.
- 7:52I went and took a lot of classes, you know, out here with both of our,
- 7:56with all of our realtor associations.
- 7:58We do offer a lot of well, water rights, propane, septic classes.
- 8:02So I, and I've taken them multiple times.
- 8:04I didn't just take it once and call it good.
- 8:07I took them multiple times so that I could understand and regurgitate
- 8:11that information in an educated way to my clients because They're going
- 8:15to ask, they absolutely will ask.
- 8:17And that's one way that you set yourself apart really quickly is
- 8:20by being that well informed on the specifics of those properties.
- 8:25For some reason, an equine property specialist designation isn't really
- 8:30very popular, but I kept searching.
- 8:33So, you know, we have senior real estate specialists, we have buyers,
- 8:37representatives, we have sellers, but for some reason, like a farm
- 8:40and ranch designation isn't a thing.
- 8:43On most platforms.
- 8:44However, I didn't stop searching and I did actually find and take a course.
- 8:50It was out of the East coast.
- 8:51And it was accredited out there and it is a, a property specialist designation,
- 8:56so I never stopped learning, you know, horse being my first word.
- 9:00I knew everything that they taught and that, and most of everything
- 9:03they taught in that class, but it still was important to me to keep
- 9:06learning and keep becoming more and more specialized and educated in that.
- 9:11And then after I kind of had that baseline foundation of education,
- 9:16then it became the connections.
- 9:18Right?
- 9:18And we've talked a little bit about that.
- 9:20How do I provide value on both ends to the consumer and also to the businesses and
- 9:25to the vendors I'm now established with.
- 9:28And that became my kind of get out there, contact people, get boots on the
- 9:32ground, go to a bunch of trade shows, expos, everything I could do to get in
- 9:37front of the community and keep learning.
- 9:40That was really a big part of it.
- 9:42Yeah, absolutely.
- 9:43And I think that's, that's really important.
- 9:45And I've seen you do it with agents in your downline and, and so on.
- 9:50Just kind of making sure that they're aware, right.
- 9:53And if they're in the horse industry with you, you do attract some of that, but
- 9:57also just getting out and understanding these properties and walking these
- 10:01properties and, and doing that is absolutely huge because there's changes.
- 10:06Every property is a little bit different and pulling out that value.
- 10:09And I'll tell you right now that, especially probably in
- 10:13the horse world, people are like, Oh yeah, that's a nice barn.
- 10:16Can I water my horses?
- 10:17Great.
- 10:18But maybe the propane, maybe the septic, maybe, you know, the transfer
- 10:22of the water rights is not something that they even paid attention to.
- 10:25Right.
- 10:26And, and there's, you know, I've sold properties where the owner's like,
- 10:30Hey, if you don't get these water rights, not in horse properties, man.
- 10:34You know, maybe irrigation water rights.
- 10:35If you don't swoop them up, especially in Golden, like Coors
- 10:39will own them before you even, like, before you even do anything.
- 10:44So I think it's super important when you're in that space to really
- 10:48understand exactly what the ramifications are and the processes, right?
- 10:54And in Colorado, I know you serve a ton of counties by
- 10:57nature of you know, the septic.
- 11:00Rules are different.
- 11:01The use permits are different.
- 11:02Sometimes they're required.
- 11:03Sometimes they're not.
- 11:04Sometimes there's an inspection, sometimes, you know, so on.
- 11:07So there's a lot of different things that you can, you can position yourself.
- 11:12And even if it's not just for the client.
- 11:15Right?
- 11:16The problem is you want to avoid these problems before they get there.
- 11:19So that's absolutely a differentiator when it comes to this industry, right?
- 11:25There's a huge difference of somebody who understands all of the transfers
- 11:28and all of the things that have to go with these big acreage properties
- 11:32versus somebody that has a horse over their shoulder on their business card.
- 11:34So that's.
- 11:36That's key.
- 11:37And I think no matter what niche you're in, right, if it's first time
- 11:41homebuyers or, you know, we could go on and on about the different, you
- 11:45know, needs of that understanding down payment assistance, understanding all
- 11:48of that, understanding what happens if they move and within two or three
- 11:51years, or, you know, just as a resource.
- 11:55So you can just raise your hand and say, Hey, Okay.
- 11:57You might want to ask your lender about that, or you might want to ask your
- 12:00accountant about that, is, is absolutely huge, and we're not talking about, you
- 12:04know, deciphering water rights and, and all of those things, but knowing when to
- 12:09bring someone in is, is a differentiator that's not necessarily always, utilized.
- 12:16And I think it's partly, too, of, you know, what do you know that your buyers
- 12:20aren't yet thinking about, that your clients aren't yet thinking about, and
- 12:23they trust you to know those things.
- 12:26And if you don't, you are, one, at risk of being sued on the
- 12:29back end, to be quite honest.
- 12:31And also, you're just, you're not going to establish yourself
- 12:33with those lifelong clients.
- 12:35When we bring up these potential pain points of, you know, like you said,
- 12:39zoning, per county, you have different Like allocations of animal units.
- 12:44So in different counties, you can have different number of animals
- 12:47on different acreage and a lot of clients have no idea about that.
- 12:52And then our special use permit, they'll go out there thinking
- 12:56and buy a boarding facility.
- 12:57And next thing they know, the county is coming in and shutting them down
- 12:59because it's not a use by right.
- 13:01Most agents, Don't always know that stuff.
- 13:05It's kind of terrifying.
- 13:06And that's something that goes along, you know, there's the horse property
- 13:09stuff Sure, that's highly specialized But how do you protect your clients
- 13:13with your education and with your knowledge before they even know that
- 13:17they're about to step on a landmine?
- 13:19You know, that is absolutely something that portrays first time
- 13:21homebuyers I think about that all the time and even in luxury too.
- 13:25I mean Luxury, there's a, there's a lot of money out there, and
- 13:29there's a lot of lawsuits out there, back and forth, and so how do you
- 13:32protect those clients disclosures?
- 13:35How do you have the contractors that are going to help them on the front
- 13:38end before a disclosure issue becomes an issue on the back end, right?
- 13:42All of that is all knowledge based, and it doesn't end.
- 13:45You know, this is 10 years in this industry now, and I'm still Still
- 13:48learning and I'm still trying and pursuing that knowledge.
- 13:52Yep.
- 13:52And I think that's like pools, pools, water rights.
- 13:56Like it's not just, you know, if you're selling mountain properties,
- 13:59water rights are extremely important.
- 14:01You know, you can't use a well to fill up your Koi pond or Denver water
- 14:04might get you like little things like that, that you hear from just, you
- 14:08know, attending these meetings or talking to, you know, the right people.
- 14:13It, you know, makes you wonder like, okay, this is actually how it is.
- 14:16And I know you and I have had conversations about, you know, unique
- 14:19pieces of the contract, you know, the private financing and, and the
- 14:24things that do come along with that.
- 14:26So those are all amazing.
- 14:29Kind of nuggets.
- 14:30And I know, you know, when you're helping people niche down and you're helping
- 14:33agents because you're so giving and doing your, you know, accountability
- 14:37calls and all these things, you're, you're talking about this, right?
- 14:42Because certainly you could just talk about the fun thing, right?
- 14:45You know, if, if you want to go sell a bunch of golf course, you know,
- 14:49houses or whatever, that's great.
- 14:50Go golfing, meet your clientele.
- 14:53That's the fun part, right?
- 14:54Riding your horses, going on trail rides, doing horse and hearth industry
- 14:58happy hours, like that's the fun part, but you have to be specialized
- 15:02in your area of expertise because it takes one misstep and that entire
- 15:08community is Yeah, is infiltrated with negative, you know, pieces, right?
- 15:15And if you're pulling all these people into one common place and then
- 15:18you're the one that screws it up, like it's going to be out there, right?
- 15:22And so 10 years of building a community, right?
- 15:25And so that's, that's super important.
- 15:29And, and you do such a great job of that as far as like, let's niche down.
- 15:34Let's find this, you know, unique community.
- 15:36Interest that we can turn into a, you know, lucrative real estate
- 15:40opportunity, but let's also educate ourselves and kind of move forward.
- 15:46And so that's, that's absolutely huge.
- 15:48So when you're exploring the niches and you're helping these agents kind
- 15:52of build those things out, I think you're going to get a lot busier as,
- 15:56as we move away from, you know, just the, the buyer's agent being able
- 16:00to, You know, pay, throw Zillow a few thousand bucks or, you know, realtor.
- 16:04com or all the things, what are some things that you, you know, in exploring
- 16:10niches, you know, obviously we've talked about the interest we've talked
- 16:13about, you know, the, the real estate side, what's some other things that
- 16:17people can kind of think about that maybe you've learned the hard way,
- 16:20or, you know, have learned in general.
- 16:24Let's see, I think it comes down, again, it's like being authentic,
- 16:28right, you know, that's going to come across really quickly.
- 16:31And then, you know, if you're going to put yourself out there, like you're
- 16:34going to be talking about and brand yourself a certain way, you have to be
- 16:38consistent in that, that's definitely something I think that you're also going
- 16:43to want to, It comes down to education, education and being, embodying everything
- 16:48that you are doing and talking about, and building out that, The vendors,
- 16:53the database and all of that, it all feeds back into that same ecosystem.
- 16:59Say what else can we, what else have I, I mean, a little bit
- 17:04with your core values, right?
- 17:05Going back to that, really building it out.
- 17:08But I think ultimately it's a business within the business.
- 17:11And I think the major problem in our industry is agents don't run their.
- 17:15Their real estate sales business as a business.
- 17:20And so I think that there's even more to that, right?
- 17:23Cause you could spend a lot of money on advertising and
- 17:26events and all of this stuff.
- 17:28And you don't necessarily have that business sense, which is one of the
- 17:32things that you're so key in is how you're going to market this, how
- 17:36this is going to come across, right?
- 17:38It started with an idea to bring horse properties.
- 17:41You know, houses for horses, horses for houses, whatever the heck you say.
- 17:44But it started with that, but then comes the massive success on the
- 17:50Facebook advertising and the massive success that your industry collective,
- 17:54you know, that you've built.
- 17:56And it's so much more than.
- 17:58You know, knowing about horse properties and, and marketing those.
- 18:02It was also being true to myself too, because I think a lot of people look at
- 18:07horse properties or the price points of horse properties and go, Oh, it's luxury.
- 18:11And I have to, you know, have this button up, look in this, that, and the other.
- 18:15That's not me.
- 18:17It was never going to be me, and so my brand kind of just established
- 18:21a voice, and all of my marketing is very consistent, and it kind of has
- 18:27a little bit of a casual tone to it, you know, it's still professional,
- 18:31but it's fun, and it's engaging, and I think that is a big part of, like,
- 18:35figuring out who and what your identity is as well, and I do think that it's.
- 18:40Where our industry is going like you're gonna have to start
- 18:43specializing in something.
- 18:44I kind of think the, the days of just kind of wild west, if you will, in real
- 18:49estate are maybe a little bit limited.
- 18:52And I don't, I don't think that that's a bad thing.
- 18:54I think that if you can become highly specialized, whatever it
- 18:57is, whatever that means to you.
- 18:59And then when I say marketing, I love marketing and you know,
- 19:03there's marketing in my thing.
- 19:05It's the secret sauce.
- 19:06It is like the 10 X.
- 19:08Factor when you add in a niche and a specification to your marketing.
- 19:13And so I have previously ran Facebook ads and while some other agents will run.
- 19:19Here's a free list of houses and very generic sense.
- 19:23I added in here's a free list of horse properties, or here's a free
- 19:27list of potential Airbnb properties.
- 19:29Here's a free list of properties that are around a dog park that
- 19:33are walking distance to a dog park.
- 19:34That stuff works.
- 19:36The other stuff.
- 19:38doesn't.
- 19:38You know, it's the consumer has changed and so is you have to change with
- 19:43the consumer and you need to They put what they want in front of them
- 19:47continually and the generic bland marketing doesn't work anymore I think
- 19:52that's a big part of the conversation of why what we do works really well
- 19:57a lot of our Marketing partners.
- 19:59I mean, I've, I have looked and I've hired specific ad companies and they'll look
- 20:04at my numbers and go, we don't know what you're doing, but we're not touching it.
- 20:08It's where you're, you're getting prices per leads that we can't even offer you.
- 20:13And it's because it is so highly specialized.
- 20:16And I do think that the consumer and the industry is moving towards that direction.
- 20:22Again, it kind of circles back to.
- 20:24Authenticity, you know, people want something that's real and
- 20:27they don't want something that's just out of the box canned anymore
- 20:31I think that's a big part of it.
- 20:33Yeah, and I think you know, obviously we've talked about the education But
- 20:38the client starting with you know, wanting a list horse properties and
- 20:42building a buyer database the part that really sets the brand apart is
- 20:47The industry partners that you bring in and help them build their business and
- 20:52you're leveraging them as well, right?
- 20:54There's specific people that, you know, need these communities
- 20:59built and real estate agents are, are the masters of networking.
- 21:03You know, you get into a B& I group or anything, like if you're
- 21:06a real estate agent, you're going to have to build that, right?
- 21:09And so basically building a horse specific B& I group.
- 21:14Right.
- 21:14You're talking about people that help, you know, fix barns and clean
- 21:19arenas and, and do this stuff.
- 21:21So talk a little bit about how your strategy went from listings, right.
- 21:27Wanting to sell these to buyers and then where the light bulb came on or how
- 21:32it's affected some people's business.
- 21:34And, and probably your biggest supporters at this stage.
- 21:38Yeah, I think some of them for sure are the biggest supporters and.
- 21:42I realized recently too that, so our website, has now, because it's so
- 21:48big, it has helped some of these small little individual trainers or just,
- 21:54you know, individual LLCs rank higher.
- 21:58On Google.
- 21:59And so because what we have built, their websites weren't ranking,
- 22:02but our, their listing on our website is now number one on Google.
- 22:07And that is like an unintended consequences that has massive
- 22:10value to these people.
- 22:12And so it was something where the horse industry is very antiquated.
- 22:17A lot of, you know, trainers or farriers, vets, they don't know marketing.
- 22:23That's not their specialty.
- 22:24Their specialty is out there.
- 22:26With working on these ranches with the horses, whether they're tractor repairmen
- 22:31or they're arena and dirt workers, barn builders, that's what they do.
- 22:36They don't market.
- 22:37But when we were able to build a platform for them that helped them
- 22:42market and reach more people without any.
- 22:45Any kind of, effort or money on their part.
- 22:48It's all free.
- 22:48I offer free listings to everyone.
- 22:50We positioned ourselves as this kind of middleman, and typically that's a really
- 22:55a negative connotation to the word, but we have provided so much value to them, and
- 23:00I never, I was actually just talking with my husband about this a couple nights ago,
- 23:04I never anticipated how much those people would become my biggest supporters, and,
- 23:10and again with like the Horse and hearth happy hour networking, events that we were
- 23:15doing of bringing a sense of community to a very, siloed, disenfranchised industry
- 23:21where everybody was kind of doing their thing, but without any cohesion, it
- 23:25has changed some of their businesses.
- 23:27Absolutely.
- 23:28And now, We've got all kinds of roles.
- 23:31My, this is a, I don't know, everything comes again, again, organically.
- 23:34And now we are working on building a new expo for Colorado
- 23:39for the entire horse industry.
- 23:41And again, that was something that we saw a need.
- 23:43And there was a lot of individual.
- 23:47Businesses that were not being supported the way they needed to and were not
- 23:52being given a platform and so therefore the industry was more and more at
- 23:55risk of disappearing to development.
- 23:57We saw that need happening.
- 23:59And so we brought these people together and said, Hey, we
- 24:02can do something to help.
- 24:04We have kind of a platform here with our social media followings and our website.
- 24:09Why don't we use that?
- 24:11To help the industry as a whole and to help you guys as a whole,
- 24:14as individual business owners.
- 24:16And that has been, again, I never anticipated that happening, but when
- 24:20you are so dialed in to a specific industry, a specific niche, a specific
- 24:26passion, That's organically what happens and that kind of, you know, what we
- 24:30talk about with community building and building developing this ecosystem.
- 24:34That is the beauty of it.
- 24:36And it's not necessarily even something that has taken a ton of my time.
- 24:40It's really been.
- 24:41Just allowing these people a spot and a way to come together, you know, one
- 24:46monthly zoom call for an hour has been a game changer That I never saw coming.
- 24:52I would love to watch all these horse people try and navigate zoom Yeah, and
- 25:02that's kind of as we we finish this full circle you You hear now that it, it
- 25:07started with the first word horse, right?
- 25:10It started with a love for, you know, the industry started with
- 25:13a rescue with real estate kind of just being this whatever, right?
- 25:18And now we're the real estate agent.
- 25:19That's bringing a, you know, expo.
- 25:22That's going to be probably a community stalwart for the entire
- 25:27community, offering people access to, you know, all the things, you know,
- 25:32probably not a major moneymaker.
- 25:35In itself, as far as ticket sales and that stuff, but a resource for all the
- 25:40people, a reason to reach out to all the contacts that you've found and gathered
- 25:45through Facebook marketing and, and selling and buying these properties.
- 25:50But it's also like, Hey, I got a guy, I got a gal, right.
- 25:54Call me when things go astray, then lending back to your, you
- 26:00know, ability to, or your desire to keep these horse properties.
- 26:05Exactly that horse properties.
- 26:07And so once you get into it, and certainly this wasn't even a vision, right?
- 26:13As, as you said, it just started with somebody who had the heart to serve,
- 26:17who had a specific interest, set your goal to sell that one property.
- 26:22And here we are.
- 26:23And so that's the power of niching down.
- 26:26I would imagine that whether buying or selling, regardless of, you know,
- 26:30any commission conversation, people are going to see your value naturally.
- 26:35And that's why we're here, right?
- 26:37To help agents understand that if you build this now, as the industry
- 26:42may or may not change, right?
- 26:45If, if buyer's agent commissions become illegal, Which is a
- 26:48possibility still, right?
- 26:49Taryn's not going to change her business.
- 26:52Right.
- 26:52And if it stays the same and we're doing what we're doing and the DOJ
- 26:57signs off on the current settlement, Taryn's not going to change her business.
- 27:01And that's pretty powerful, especially, you know, building a family and
- 27:05wanting all the horses in the world and all the puppies and all the things.
- 27:09I think that that's absolutely massive.
- 27:10So I think.
- 27:12Ultimately, it's just about agents reaching out to you and
- 27:15understanding this opportunity, right?
- 27:17And understanding, okay, you know, I hate horses, I'm allergic to
- 27:22horses, but You know, Taryn seems to have, have a finger on the pulse
- 27:27on how to build something like this.
- 27:29And so we will link all of her stuff in the comments below.
- 27:34Definitely take time to book a call with her, talk about partnering
- 27:37within our organization, the Wolfpack.
- 27:40You get me too, but that's definitely a by product of, of
- 27:43the value that Taryn brings.
- 27:45And I think that, you know, there's a lot of opportunity there.
- 27:48If you're happy where you're at, the brokerage that you're at, Taryn
- 27:51still provides massive value to people and really, you know, has,
- 27:55has, you know, an amazing skillset for marketing and all the things.
- 28:00So, Taryn, any last words for anybody, you know, maybe feeling a little bit
- 28:04defeated by, by what's going on, the headlines and that kind of stuff.
- 28:08Well, I think that was.
- 28:10Where my mind was going was even in these conversations is there's
- 28:13chaos everywhere in the industry and change and all this fear.
- 28:18I have continued to just enjoy what I do and love it.
- 28:23And I think that's the power of the specialization and it
- 28:25doesn't have to be horses, right?
- 28:27There's so many things you don't even have to know what you want to do.
- 28:31Just give me a call.
- 28:32I love kind of going through that discovery process.
- 28:35And my marketing brain is always wheels turning.
- 28:38I have probably a list of 10 different niches that I would say,
- 28:42Hey, do you like any of these things?
- 28:44Let's go.
- 28:44And I think that one, one thought I had is you're wrapping up here.
- 28:50It has never been for me about.
- 28:53Finding more leads and finding more clients that has never been the
- 28:57conversation internally I think that has just been What happens naturally right
- 29:03because you position yourself as this go to and I get calls all the time Hey,
- 29:08I heard you're the go to horse person.
- 29:09You're the horse property gal That was just an organic thing again, when you
- 29:15dive into what you do, what you love and it comes about and it builds this whole
- 29:20ecosystem, but it was never about it.
- 29:22That was never like the first intention.
- 29:25And I think that's a really big conversation there is providing so much
- 29:29value to everybody in your community.
- 29:31That the business just flows naturally.
- 29:34And that's the beauty of it.
- 29:36Right.
- 29:37And the ability to, I mean, everywhere's different, right?
- 29:39Obviously horse and hearth has room for expansion across Colorado.
- 29:44You know, I know you're going into other States now with your organization and,
- 29:47and really helping people horseplay.
- 29:49Horse people are not so don't don't shy away from from reaching out to Taryn
