  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Okay. Okay, so conversations with a
• 0:32
  lot of my business clients this week yielded.
• 0:35
  Some very interesting information.
• 0:36
  So I asked everybody, so tell me if I met you out at a party
• 0:42
  coffee, whatever. And I asked you the simple
• 0:45
  question. So what do you do?
• 0:47
  What would your answer be? And boy, oh boy, was I shocked
• 0:51
  by some of the conversations that ensued from that simple
• 0:54
  question because a lot of people did not have answers.
• 0:58
  They were like, well, I So I'd say I'm a doctor I guess I'd say
• 1:06
  I'm an investment banker. I guess I'd say I'm a real
• 1:10
  estate agent or I'm a coach everybody had like these very
• 1:15
  just blase. I don't want to continue this
• 1:19
  conversation with you answers and those kind of things are not
• 1:24
  going to get you noticed. They're also not going to get
• 1:26
  people to want to work with you and they're also not going to
• 1:28
  make you feel like you can stand out.
• 1:30
  In a crowd. So think about that question for
• 1:33
  a second. If you had to answer it, how
• 1:35
  would you answer the question? What would you say?
• 1:37
  What would your answer be? If someone said to you.
• 1:39
  So what do you do? And could you articulate it?
• 1:42
  And it's really fascinating when you sit there and you say to
• 1:45
  yourself, well, I'm not sure. Now, this partly this came up
• 1:49
  because I have been answering this question for myself.
• 1:53
  Doing a bunch of study work asking that very question of
• 1:55
  myself. How would I answer this?
• 1:57
  And I was finding that it was blase and I I was like oh this
• 2:01
  would not influence me at all. So I was trying to cultivate
• 2:05
  this study at work on it study aspects of Storytelling diving
• 2:09
  in doing all kinds of interesting things to bring
• 2:13
  about something that was conceptual and that I could feel
• 2:16
  confident in saying and it led down this path of saying, wow.
• 2:22
  If you're not excited about yourself and you're not excited
• 2:26
  about what you're doing, how the heck, can anybody else be
• 2:28
  excited about it? It's really fascinating because
• 2:32
  most of us are just so innately tied to what we do.
• 2:37
  It's just, maybe it's boring to us.
• 2:39
  Maybe it's just very pragmatic and very, you know, all right,
• 2:42
  whatever. It's just what I do every day, I
• 2:43
  don't really think much about it.
• 2:45
  But, you know, there's that old concept that says whatever
• 2:48
  you're going to do. It doesn't matter if you're a
• 2:49
  truck driver, if you sweep floors, if you're a short-order
• 2:53
  cook, do it with excitement, do it with a bunch of enthusiasm
• 2:58
  and really be able to To get into what you're doing and love
• 3:03
  it. So I know I absolutely feel that
• 3:05
  way about coaching, I do it, you know, hours and hours, and
• 3:08
  hours, and hours, in a week. And I just, I love what I do,
• 3:12
  but describing it, that was a different one.
• 3:16
  So I started doing a deep dive into my own head about it and
• 3:20
  saying, well, what do I really feel about it?
• 3:22
  What do I want to say about it? How do I want to come across
• 3:24
  with this? And it really got me going so I
• 3:28
  thought I do, I'm going to bring it to everybody.
• 3:30
  When I brought it to everybody else, they were, like, I don't
• 3:32
  even know what I'm gonna say to this.
• 3:34
  So, the best thing that I can tell you, we're going to keep
• 3:38
  this one short and sweet today. What's your answer to that
• 3:40
  question? When someone says, what do you
• 3:42
  do? What is your answer to that
• 3:44
  question? What are you going to say Back?
• 3:46
  Start writing it on a piece of paper, start listening to it and
• 3:49
  then the best part is recorded in the voice, memos of your
• 3:52
  phone, whatever your answer would be and then listen back
• 3:55
  and say would that intrigued me enough to actually ask someone
• 3:58
  else? The question and see if They
• 4:00
  would be interested in working with me short.
• 4:02
  Sweet. And to the point today, do it
• 4:04
  see what your answer is and then try to make it better because I
• 4:08
  guarantee you it won't be what you want.
• 4:10
  So I hope you guys have a very blessed day and I will see you
• 4:14
  tomorrow and hopefully by then you'll have thought through some
• 4:17
  of this and have a better clearer conceptual answer.
• 4:20
  All right, my friends, I'll talk to you soon.
• 4:23
  Bye. They would be interested in
• 4:01
  working with me short. Sweet.
• 4:02
  And to the point today, do it see what your answer is and then
• 4:06
  try to make it better because I guarantee you it won't be what
• 4:09
  you want. So I hope you guys have a very
• 4:12
  blessed day and I will see you tomorrow and hopefully by then
• 4:16
  you'll have thought through some of this and have a better
• 4:18
  clearer conceptual answer. All right, my friends, I'll talk
• 4:22
  to you soon. Bye.
