- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop so Today, the girls.
- 0:31And I would like to talk to you about how you stand out in a
- 0:36crowd, and probably one of my favorite subjects, because I'm
- 0:41obsessed with different ideas of customer service and marketing.
- 0:46And just in general how you constantly up level and raise
- 0:49your own standards. And for me, why am I bringing
- 0:53the girls up in this conversation?
- 0:55Because any of you who follow me regularly know, they're a little
- 0:59bit smaller spoiled. They're probably a lot spoiled,
- 1:01let's just come right down to it.
- 1:04However, it's not just them in my life that are like this.
- 1:08It's like, I do this with pretty much everything.
- 1:10I do this for my house. I do this for myself.
- 1:14The way I take care of things, I do this for my chickens, I do
- 1:18this with my clients. I just have set these standards
- 1:22that are very, very specific and they stay with me across the
- 1:28board, whether I'm growing plants. raising chickens, I take
- 1:32care of my dogs, I take care of my clients, my family, whatever
- 1:35it is, I have this Sense about how I want to do it.
- 1:40And why I stick to that part of that is just because I was
- 1:44taught as a child that will figure to do something, you do
- 1:48it. Well you don't just go and do it
- 1:50average. Do you want to be average, or do
- 1:51you want to be outstanding? And when you want to be
- 1:54outstanding, you have to constantly be on the path of
- 1:57looking for outstanding learning from others and pushing
- 2:01yourself. Now, before I got the chickens,
- 2:03one of the things that was because I had them when I was
- 2:05little. But I, honestly, because I was
- 2:08Six and seven at the time. I just don't remember about so
- 2:11much about how we had them set up, and my mother wouldn't let
- 2:14it happen again. So never had that.
- 2:16But the thing about this for me, was when I started reading about
- 2:22taking care of chickens, there are lots of different schools of
- 2:25thought on it and everybody has their own way of doing it.
- 2:27But for me I was like, well, you know, I want them to have a
- 2:30great environment. I want them to have a place
- 2:33that's like super clean. That feels good to them and I
- 2:36just want I want Them to have happy lives.
- 2:39Like I just want Happy lives for my chickens and then they're
- 2:41going to give me happy eggs and it's going to be wonderful.
- 2:44Now maybe it's idealistic but I do that with pretty much
- 2:48everything. I just live into that and when I
- 2:51set it up, I said to myself. Well, I've heard people in all
- 2:55these different groups that I'm a part of say, I can't get my
- 2:58chickens to go in the coop at night.
- 2:59I can't have these and I was like well that will never happen
- 3:01or my chickens won't come near me and I was like well that will
- 3:04never happen. And it doesn't happen because my
- 3:07chickens put Sounds away at night like they love their coop.
- 3:09In fact. During the day, they will go
- 3:11back to their Coop even though they have five acres that they
- 3:13can roam around on and part of that is because I make it nice
- 3:19for them. I'm constantly thinking about
- 3:21what else can I do to make it great for them.
- 3:23So, you know, we have lots of different thoughts on taking
- 3:27care of them again, Everyone's entitled to do it, their own
- 3:30way, but this today is all about how you up level yourself and
- 3:34how you stand out in a crowd. So, Funny thing is I'm having
- 3:39dirt delivered to my house for a garden.
- 3:41I'm working on and the guy who delivers the dirt actually says,
- 3:46oh my God, that chicken coop is insane.
- 3:48That's like a mac daddy. Chicken Coop, makes this comment
- 3:51about it. He says, I can't believe this
- 3:53like, you know, you have a hard time with your chickens.
- 3:55We end up in the comment I'm like, no.
- 3:56So now I mean, I just don't have a hard time with them.
- 3:59Nobody gets sick. Thank goodness, everybody's
- 4:01super healthy, the chickens take care of themselves, going in and
- 4:05out of the coop. I have beautiful.
- 4:07A Production all the time. And I truly believe it's because
- 4:11I give them the best environment in which to dwell.
- 4:16And that is what you have to do for yourself.
- 4:18You have to put yourself in the best environment if you want to
- 4:21stand out in a crowd. If you want to give yourself the
- 4:25best opportunity, especially right now in a market.
- 4:28That's so shifting doesn't matter what you do.
- 4:31Doesn't matter if you're a baker or you're an investment banker,
- 4:36doesn't matter? You Have to figure out how to
- 4:39stand out in the crowd. And it doesn't have to come from
- 4:43being tricky. It has to come from being
- 4:45outstanding at caring for your world around you and not just
- 4:50your clients, it would be a horrible thing for my clients.
- 4:55If I'm talking to them about how to up level their life and up
- 4:57level their businesses, if they came and they saw that I
- 5:00couldn't do that for myself. Then we're talking it's like The
- 5:03Wizard of Oz situation. You know what behind what's
- 5:05behind? The curtain is not the reality.
- 5:07So, you have to make yourself again.
- 5:11I know we talked about this so much that I'm always saying it
- 5:13comes back to you and how you handle yourself first.
- 5:17So this is the idea if you want to stand out in a crowd, if you
- 5:22want to be able to do these things, you want people to
- 5:25gravitate to you. You want people to see you and
- 5:28your company as the one, they're going to go with right now as
- 5:30the competition shifts and things get just more
- 5:33interesting, not going to be harder, it's just going to be
- 5:36interesting. Then you have to Think in terms
- 5:38of what do I need to do with myself first?
- 5:41And I don't care if that's something simple.
- 5:42Like, you know what? I got to go get rid of all this
- 5:45crap in my junk drawers in my house because it drives me
- 5:47crazy. Do it?
- 5:49That's up leveling. It's the simplest thing to do
- 5:52first and it starts a process. Get rid of all the old clothes
- 5:56that you don't like, get rid of shoes that you won't wear.
- 5:59Stop telling yourself, you're going to wait to start until you
- 6:02lose ten pounds. Do something that allows you to
- 6:06up levels. Change your point of view, so
- 6:09that you can stand out in the Crowd by simply being the one
- 6:12that takes the consistent action and it doesn't matter how small
- 6:15it is, do it, I promise you there will be absolute great
- 6:20outcomes from it because every time you do it, great things
- 6:24happen. So get out there, start the
- 6:28shift stand out in the Crowd, by starting with yourself.
- 6:31I'll talk to you guys tomorrow. Have a blessed day.
- 6:33Bye.
