The market pays premium, top dollar, for those who are irreplaceable.
00:00:29.340
Look, with 2020 being around the corner, one of the things you've got to be thinking about
00:00:32.380
is the fact that what are you going to be doing to increase your market value, your market
00:00:37.060
I'm in Miami yesterday, and I'm speaking to a group of people.
00:00:40.060
One guy says, Pat, I want to find a way to increase my market value.
00:00:42.660
I said, here's what you've got to be thinking about.
00:00:46.020
If you are in the market, and you're constantly leaning on someone to give you a lead, someone
00:00:52.800
to hand you what to do to go out there and make a sale, and you don't know how to self-generate
00:01:01.700
If you work for a real estate company, and that real estate company gives you leads, it
00:01:06.860
It may sound like a good proposition, but long term, they control you.
00:01:11.380
You're no different than being an employee who on one day, they don't like you.
00:01:14.800
They can start giving you the bad leads and give the good leads to people that they like,
00:01:18.660
or the leads, period, become bad because it's gone through a lot of different people.
00:01:22.640
But if you learn how to generate your own leads, you become irreplaceable.
00:01:27.220
There are many, many different ways to make yourself irreplaceable.
00:01:32.760
I read a book about what happened to Monterey Bay with seagulls in Monterey Bay.
00:01:38.020
This was a challenge they faced in Monterey Bay.
00:01:42.580
Monterey Bay was known for a lot of people that would go there fishing.
00:01:45.300
And the fishermen would go and they would fish.
00:01:47.880
After they were done fishing, they would cut up the fish.
00:01:49.640
They would prepare to sell it or to cook it and a lot of the leftovers would stay by
00:01:53.200
the bay and the seagulls would come and they would just eat the leftovers.
00:02:02.560
If the fishermen stopped fishing one day, those seagulls would no longer remember how
00:02:07.400
to hunt and they will probably not live too long.
00:02:14.240
Once laws changed for fishing, the fishermen no longer came.
00:02:19.600
These seagulls are waiting for these fishermen.
00:02:22.160
I've been leaning on all these leads of fish left over here.
00:02:29.380
Then the city started noticing seagulls were dying.
00:02:35.720
We got to bring an expert to tell us what is taking place.
00:02:39.620
And the expert starts going around looking at it, all this stuff.
00:02:42.140
And then finally says, listen, the reason why these guys are dying is because none of the seagulls
00:02:46.880
out there are going underwater and learning how to hunt for themselves.
00:02:51.440
They have forgotten how to self-generate their leads.
00:03:00.440
Well, the best way to do it, they went and found seagulls overseas who are professional
00:03:11.680
Those seagulls started hunting for themselves and catching all this fish themselves.
00:03:17.000
A week, two weeks, three weeks later, the other seagulls that were dying, some of them
00:03:21.020
that survived, started picking up the habit because they're hanging around the right kind
00:03:24.380
of seagulls that know how to hunt for themselves.
00:03:26.440
And next thing you know, these seagulls started making it because they again learned that they
00:03:33.480
What is the message of the week for you this week?
00:03:37.080
If you rely on a source to give you leads, you're replaceable.
00:03:43.020
If you rely on a company, on an organization to constantly provide you leads, you're always
00:03:48.940
If you find a way to self-generate your own leads through whatever way you do it, if you
00:03:53.640
find a way to self-generate your own leads, where you control the leads.
00:04:08.700
The market value for you goes slowly but surely.
00:04:10.700
Higher and higher and higher and higher and higher.
00:04:11.700
Because you're no longer relying on a company, on an organization to provide you leads.
00:04:18.700
You need the company because the company gives you leads.
00:04:21.700
Do not be the seagull that just relies on that fish.
00:04:26.180
You know the leftovers on the side to go out there and feed themselves.
00:04:29.360
Be the other seagulls that know how to got their hunt for themselves.
00:04:35.080
So in 2020, moving forward, now find ways to self-generate leads so you forever will be
00:04:43.100
irreplaceable and the market pays top dollar for your skill set of finding leads.
00:04:50.180
Having said that, looking forward to seeing you having a killer week this week.
