00:00:46.820 When they think about you, what do they think about?
00:00:48.820 See, I learned a long time ago.
00:00:50.420 I watched my close friends and competitors who knew a lot, a little bit, about a lot.
00:00:57.120 And when I started The Great Ones, I realized they knew a lot, about a little bit.
00:01:02.900 Meaning, they chose one industry.
00:01:05.280 They chose one skill set.
00:01:06.560 They immersed themselves in that.
00:01:09.060 And that is all they ever studied.
00:01:10.700 That is all they ever studied and mastered.
00:01:12.580 Now, obviously, if you're really going to learn a little bit about this and a little bit about that.
00:01:16.320 But everybody who ends up becoming great, an expert, a pro at anything they do, they immerse themselves in one industry, in one skill set.
00:01:25.600 And they became masters at it.
00:01:27.020 Stop looking at every single thing.
00:01:29.000 The moment you get bored with something, you say, I'm going to go into this other industry.
00:01:32.300 Choose one thing and become the greatest you can.
00:01:34.860 And study the history of it.
00:01:36.640 If you're a real estate, study history, rates, interest, why it changed, what happened, marketing, everything.
00:01:42.080 If you're financial, if you're technology, if so, it doesn't matter.
00:01:45.860 Immerse yourself in the history of that industry.
00:01:48.720 And look what will happen.
00:01:49.560 All of a sudden, you're going to ask yourself, saying, why am I getting millions of dollars doing this?
00:01:53.280 Why am I having so much fun doing this?
00:01:55.300 Why do I have so much respect from the industry doing this?
00:01:58.180 Because you've mastered that industry.
00:02:00.120 That's why.
00:02:00.600 And by the way, business life is a lot more fun when you become an expert at one thing.
