00:00:00.000 So if you're a Lone Ranger in business, I don't care if you're a CEO, executive, employee, 0.79
00:00:03.580 salesperson, no matter who you are, I'm going to break you down because you being a Lone Ranger 1.00
00:00:07.340 is getting in your own way. You got seven things I'm going to share with you. You may not like this.
00:00:11.460 I'm going to give it to you direct, raw, but brace for impact. We're going to talk about why being a
00:00:16.220 Lone Ranger may be the worst place to be. And if you're there, it's purely by choice. This message
00:00:23.280 is only to those Lone Rangers out there. You know who you are. You're the CEO, founder, executive,
00:00:27.320 employee, salesperson who thinks you know it all. And you got this. You don't need anybody's help.
00:00:32.240 You're going to do it all on your own. And you keep hitting your head against the wall because
00:00:35.900 you're driving yourself insane. And by the way, some insight for you, you're not just driving
00:00:41.620 yourself insane. You're driving everybody else around you insane. You're driving them insane.
00:00:45.940 So today I'm going to break down the profile. If that profile fits you, I'm talking to you.
00:00:51.280 I'm going to give you some feedback and counsel. If you want to pick and choose it, do your thing.
00:00:54.980 If not, also do your thing, but it will definitely be the choice. Now here's the thing. If I'm able
00:01:00.360 to read you well, and if you give value out of this, give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the
00:01:05.160 channel. Let's get into it. You ready?
00:01:06.920 Number one, quality. They can identify somebody who's a long ranger. You know what it is? They
00:01:23.700 never ask for help. Why not? Because you know it all. You got a big ego. You don't want to ask
00:01:28.980 people for help because I'm going to figure it out. Do you know who I am? You don't need to ask
00:01:33.480 anybody for help. I got it. So look, I've been in the financial industry since 9-11,
00:01:37.640 the day before 9-11, and I've owned stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, crypto, gold,
00:01:42.380 you name it, I've owned it. But the one thing that's very important part of my portfolio all
00:01:46.380 these years is gold. I love having a percentage of my network in gold that I have access to in
00:01:53.120 case of many different things. That's why we chose to work with our new sponsor, American Hartford
00:01:57.180 Gold. If you have retirement funds that you cannot afford to lose, American Hartford Gold will
00:02:01.600 ship physical gold or silver directly to your door. Also, if you have retirement funds that you
00:02:05.740 can't afford to lose, now is the time to call American Hartford Gold, a precious metal dealer
00:02:10.660 you can trust. They have the finest products, amazing customer service, and a buyback commitment.
00:02:15.560 They've earned a five-star rating from thousands of reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau.
00:02:20.920 Tell them I sent you and they'll send you up to $5,000 worth of free silver on your first order.
00:02:25.060 So text the word VALUE to 65532 or call 866-695-7074 or go to AmericanHartfordGold.com forward slash
00:02:36.360 Valuetainment.
00:02:39.580 Is that you? Let's go to the second one. The second one. You know what question you don't
00:02:44.420 like to ask? You don't like to ask, what do you think? Because asking the question, what
00:02:49.240 do you think, shows insecurities because God forbid you don't know what you're doing. Why
00:02:53.240 would you ask somebody, what do you think? But do you know the smartest people I know
00:02:56.660 what they ask the most often? What do you think? They sit around their board and they
00:03:01.240 say, Johnny, what do you think? Bobby, what do you think? Larry, what do you think? Do
00:03:05.280 you know why the people that make it at the highest level ask the most common question
00:03:10.700 they ask is, what do you think? Do you know why? Because they're interested in the third
00:03:14.660 thing, which is what? Blind spot. They want to know what blind spots they have. While I'm
00:03:20.140 doing this video with you, we did a video prior to this. And every time we have a break on
00:03:24.140 a video we're doing, I'm like, what did you think about what I said? Did I miss something?
00:03:27.900 And they'll say, Pat, do this part. You forgot to say this. Can you do this one more time?
00:03:31.740 No problem. I'm the CEO and talent here. And I'm still asking people around me, what do you
00:03:36.080 think? Why? Because I don't want to have blind spots. They have four angles. I don't have
00:03:40.540 four angles. I have one angle that I'm looking at. The more I can ask other people what they
00:03:44.080 think, they give me more insight. Next, Lone Ranger. At the end of the day, your parents didn't
00:03:48.360 force you to be a Lone Ranger. Your boss didn't force you to be a Lone Ranger. You chose to
00:03:52.080 be a Lone Ranger. Now, by the way, if this Lone Ranger skill set and philosophy in life
00:03:58.160 is working for you and doing really good things for you, more power to you. If it's not, you
00:04:03.040 may want to adjust. Here's the next one I want you to be thinking about. Typically, people
00:04:06.540 that are Lone Rangers, we had an incident two weeks ago, and we're sitting there in the middle
00:04:11.460 of the podcast before we go live. We choose, out of nowhere, to add this new thing to the
00:04:16.440 software. Now, someone's in the back that's doing this. I had to get up, walk out, go see
00:04:21.120 what the hell is going on. And you know what happened that day? The person that chose to
00:04:25.320 do this didn't do something called QC. You know what QC is? Hey, do I have this thing
00:04:29.740 down? Is this going to work out for me? And you know what else they did? They didn't prepare
00:04:33.440 in a timely manner because Lone Rangers feel like, oh, I got this. I'm going to get it done
00:04:38.180 right now. Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, and you break. Why? Because it's
00:04:42.020 a pressure type of situation. So for some of you that are watching this, you're like, well,
00:04:44.940 you know, I deal better in pressure. There's not a single human being in the world that
00:04:49.120 does better under pressure than no pressure. Even the best people under pressure in sports
00:04:54.040 hit worse than they do while there's no pressure. Why do you think people shoot better free throws
00:05:00.040 than they shoot field goal? Why? Because there's no pressure. You stand there, you got 10 seconds.
00:05:04.420 Boom, boom, boom. 82%. Field goal, 49%. I wonder why. Because when you're shooting a field goal,
00:05:12.460 someone's in your face. When you're shooting a free throw, someone's not in your face.
00:05:15.860 You're open. That's why the percentage is higher. The same thing with Lone Ranger. Sometimes you put
00:05:20.480 yourself in situations with pressure and you break because you're not fully prepared because you're
00:05:24.520 a Lone Ranger. You don't want to ask other people for help because you know what you're doing.
00:05:27.940 You're smarter than everybody else. You don't need these other small thinking people to give you
00:05:31.800 direction, right? Am I driving you insane yet or no? For some of you that are watching this,
00:05:35.480 you're like, dude, I'm not a Lone Ranger, but I definitely know a Lone Ranger. It's my husband.
00:05:38.680 It's my wife. It's my brother. It's my co-worker. It's my boss. It's my this. It's my dad. Basic
00:05:42.640 thing about Lone Rangers. Ready? They rarely win championships as a number one. They rarely build a
00:05:48.240 business that keeps growing. They rarely keep people because they don't like to ask help from
00:05:53.420 others. You know what people want to know? That they're helping you. A form of retention is asking
00:05:58.440 people for help. You know why? Because they feel like they're contributing to the growth of the
00:06:02.920 business, to the growth of the marriage, to the growth of the family, to the growth of the
00:06:07.080 community. Ask people for help. And your retention of people wanting to be around in your life
00:06:12.820 increases. Do you want me to continue or you got the point? Now, I'll stop right there. If you're
00:06:17.700 watching this, you say, damn, he read me pretty well, but I want to keep this a secret and I don't 0.99
00:06:22.360 want anybody else to know. But Pat, I got more questions for you. No problem. We build an app for 0.96
00:06:26.820 you. It's called Manect. You get to download the app and go look at many different industries,
00:06:31.900 finance, sales, real estate, marriage, relationship, dating, babysitting. It doesn't
00:06:36.960 matter what it is. And you get to ask people for help, but you get to pay for it. And that's why
00:06:41.260 they respond instead of DMing somebody on Instagram and nobody gets back to you. So if you haven't
00:06:45.880 downloaded one of the fastest growing app in the area of consulting and influencers asking them for
00:06:50.780 advice, click on a link below, go download the app, start Manecting today. You can even ask me a
00:06:55.100 question. By the way, every one of the questions I get on Manect, I respond in audio. I don't send a
00:06:59.460 text. So it's not like an AI software, some of these other ChadGBT. You will actually hear me
00:07:03.000 say, I'm at practice with my son. I'm at such and such place. You'll hear my wife in the background
00:07:07.200 or my kids in the background because it's real. It's authentic. It's straight up asking a question,
00:07:11.780 but don't ask the question expecting me to be very nice to you, Mr. Lone Ranger. And if you don't like
00:07:15.440 the answer I give you and you give me a three star, I don't care because you Lone Rangers are hard to
00:07:20.820 please and I'm not trying to please you. I'm trying to get you to wake your ass up and realize there's a 0.97
00:07:24.900 greater life out there if you're willing to simply ask for help. Having said that, do you still love 0.83
00:07:31.220 me? You're going to keep coming back and watching this stuff? Are you pissed off? Either way, I don't
00:07:36.100 mind because I think you're still going to come back because you know you need to improve, which
00:07:39.480 is kind of how I relate to this because I also had one point ready. I was a Lone Ranger 28 years ago
00:07:44.800 because I thought I didn't need anybody's help until I realized I did. And obviously everything else
00:07:48.540 changed in my life. So if you got value out of this video, give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the
00:07:52.360 channel. If you got any questions with anybody you want to talk to, download the app Manect and
00:07:56.360 start Manecting today. Take care, everybody. Bye bye. Bye bye.
