• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:29
  coop. So today we're talking about
• 0:32
  unique assets and what are your unique assets?
• 0:35
  This is an interesting question to ask yourself because
• 0:39
  everybody's can put together a resume and this is coming up
• 0:42
  because I was helping a client work on a resume and I asked the
• 0:47
  question, OK, this resume says everything on on paper that
• 0:51
  everyone wants to see, but it doesn't give a list of your
• 0:53
  unique assets that you think would make you stand out in the
• 0:56
  role. What are they?
• 0:58
  And this person paused and said, well, I mean, I don't want to
• 1:02
  come across like I'm trying to be boastful or I don't want to
• 1:06
  come across. I'm like, well, you're going for
• 1:07
  an interview. You have to be boastful.
• 1:09
  I mean that's just hands down the thing to do.
• 1:11
  You go in with confidence and you, you take yourself in there
• 1:15
  to look your best. So if you make it even a
• 1:18
  separate sheet and you list your unique assets, that would be
• 1:22
  something that would be helpful for people who are trying to
• 1:26
  make decisions about whether or not you fit in.
• 1:28
  Because we want to see what is unique about you, what makes you
• 1:31
  stand out from the crowd. And I, I ended up using the
• 1:34
  chickens as such a a a great little way to get my point
• 1:37
  across because they're all chickens, right?
• 1:39
  They're all chickens, they all lay eggs, but there are some
• 1:42
  that have very, very unique assets.
• 1:45
  So for instance, any of the Americanas we have are very,
• 1:48
  very smart. They are much more crafty.
• 1:52
  They rarely get hurt by a hawk or a coyote.
• 1:57
  They are very crafty and getting out of the way.
• 2:00
  They they're great Flyers. They have a they'll let you get
• 2:05
  close to them, but not close enough to touch them.
• 2:07
  They're super, super aware. Even while I'm talking to you,
• 2:11
  if you can hear the crows in the background, all the Americanas
• 2:13
  are stopped and they're looking to see what the crows are
• 2:16
  screaming about. All the other chickens are still
• 2:18
  going about their business, not paying attention to the fact
• 2:21
  that that might be an indicator that there is a big hawk flying
• 2:25
  around. So it's it's just one of their
• 2:28
  traits. Very smart, very aware.
• 2:31
  Now we've got, you know, our, our coach insurance and our
• 2:34
  coach insurance are just like big marshmallows.
• 2:36
  They're big loves. They'll let you pick them up.
• 2:38
  They let you sit with them. They are just big, fluffy, lovey
• 2:42
  chickens and very unaware. And for that we've lost a few of
• 2:46
  them because they are very unaware.
• 2:49
  And each one of them, I could keep going through all the
• 2:51
  different breeds that we have. But they are just.
• 2:55
  They each have their own little thing.
• 2:56
  And just like us human beings, so do we And we all have our
• 3:01
  unique little talents. Some some of these chickens are
• 3:03
  great free Rangers. They can go out and find stuff
• 3:06
  all day long. That would be the Americanas.
• 3:08
  And there are others who just struggle with it.
• 3:12
  They don't do. That's why we obviously give
• 3:14
  them great sources for food as well, because they don't go out
• 3:18
  and find it themselves. But the point is, thinking of
• 3:21
  yourself that way. What are your great assets and
• 3:25
  not making it a list of common ones?
• 3:27
  Now, you might not be doing a resume right now.
• 3:29
  You might not be in the place where this is even something
• 3:32
  that you're thinking is important.
• 3:33
  But why is it important to someone in their everyday life?
• 3:37
  Because not everybody builds you up all the time.
• 3:40
  Not everybody affords you the opportunities to shine and show
• 3:43
  your unique assets. So it's your job to go ahead and
• 3:47
  do that. Show your unique assets, put
• 3:50
  yourself in a position where you can talk about them, list them,
• 3:54
  and make sure that you have it ready.
• 3:57
  So when someone says, hey, why should I use you over this
• 4:00
  person? Or what makes you the choice
• 4:02
  that would make my company? Pick your company.
• 4:06
  Having that list understanding it doesn't matter if you are
• 4:11
  doing the simplest thing. If you're an artist and you're
• 4:13
  about to paint a wall, you're going in to for Commission to
• 4:17
  paint this beautiful mural on a wall and someone says, well, why
• 4:19
  should I choose you over this person?
• 4:21
  We're having a hard time picking because that's what happens.
• 4:24
  Humans can't always choose quickly.
• 4:27
  You have to be willing to pitch yourself.
• 4:29
  You have to be willing to know these things.
• 4:31
  And at the same time, your unique assets make you feel
• 4:35
  good. I know my unique assets and I
• 4:38
  know when I think about them, they make me feel good in
• 4:42
  general. It makes me feel like, wow,
• 4:44
  okay, I I do have that because I like not being like everybody
• 4:48
  else. I like that I shoot a podcast
• 4:50
  from a chicken coop. I like that.
• 4:52
  I do it on my phone and it's uncomplicated.
• 4:54
  I I keep it as simple as I possibly can, but that's a
• 4:58
  unique asset of mine. Don't over complicate things.
• 5:01
  Keep it simple because it makes it easier.
• 5:04
  It makes it feel you feel better, it makes you feel
• 5:06
  productive because it doesn't take forever and I don't doesn't
• 5:09
  have to be all technical and I can't stand over over
• 5:12
  complicating things. So that's a unique asset of
• 5:16
  mine, because a lot of people do not like to look and see how to
• 5:19
  boil it all down to the the smallest infinitesimal way to do
• 5:23
  something. So think about this, put a list
• 5:27
  together, be ready for the question and focus on it 'cause
• 5:30
  you'll feel so much better when you do.
• 5:32
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I'll
• 5:34
  see you tomorrow. Bye.
