Welcome to the gold long podcast, we're back once again to continue to help to educate you. So you feel much more comfortable as well as confident investing beyond your backyard. And yet, I'm your host, Billy keels, and we're back for another one of these really super exciting solo episodes, one that are very, very brief, and giving you what you need right up front. And you can get on about your day, because that's what you've asked me for. So anyway, I want to thank every one of you that continues to tag us continues to share across social media across LinkedIn across Instagram, really, really appreciate that. And also want to say thanks to those of you who've already left an honest written review, if you're thinking about it, you really thought about it for a long time, just click the link in the video, you can do it really fast on the Apple podcast platform. Also love it over on Spotify, if you want to leave in there as well. So with that stated, I just wanted to let you know, if you're looking for any of the previous episodes of the podcast, just go to first uncp.com forward slash podcasts. And you can find every single episode video audio transcripts, once again, first gen cpe.com, forward slash podcasts. And for today, I'm going to share something with you that is, well it's probably one of my I don't know, I think this is probably one of the ninja secrets that is not very many people know about. But it's one that I want to share with you because you're a part of our going long family. And it's one of the things that I believe helps to show others that you are interested in being able to protect their most valuable asset, you know, what you can do, to show demonstrate that you're willing to work for someone to protect their most valuable asset. And if you don't know what the most valuable asset is, I'll tell you that in just a second. But I'm gonna give you a real life example. So each one of us has 24 hours in the day. You do with him as you want. And you get the return on the time that you put in, right. And so one of the things that happens, and this happens pretty frequently is that people were asking for your time, right, and whether you have a calendar that's wide open, or you maybe I remember, in the corporate world, you know, you wanted to get in a conversation with people that were usually lower level in the organisation, it was pretty easy, right? Because they have a lot more time access to their calendars, et cetera, et cetera. But the higher that you moved up on this on the on the organ org chart, the more difficult it was, you can't just call the CEO and say, Hey, listen, I want to get 15 minutes with you tomorrow. It's just kind of the same way. So the more I guess the more important the relationship, the more times that you need to make sure that you are protecting that most valuable asset. And what is that most valuable asset once again, it is time. And so quite frequently, one of the things that happens in our very exclusive investor, family club, or investor family, we have people that want to join our exclusive investor family, right, talking about specifically with us. And I think it's a great thing, because it's part of it's showing that you have a due diligence process, because you want to speak to other investors, people who have already had an experience, whether those experiences were positive, not so positive, whatever the case may be, as part of your due diligence, you're probably asking to speak with someone who's already currently an investor. Fantastic, congratulations. I'm going to share my ninja secret with you. And you know, because you're listening, and you're part of the top 1.5% podcast, and you're listening to us from countries all over the world, I'm hoping that you can also take and use this whether it's with investor family members or on your next, your next important meeting with whomever it is just to show that you care about also protecting other people's time. So one of the things that I think and encourage is anytime you want to have as part of your due diligence process to speak to a previous investor or a current investor, I ask one simple question. And that one simple question, to do two things number one is to show to our investor family members that we do everything that we can to protect and honour their time, because I asked the individual who wants to make this day the conversation to please provide at least one very specific question that they want to ask. And so then our team makes sure that we align them with the most appropriate person that can answer that question, knowing full well and also saying hey, listen, you may talk about a lot of other things and however much time you decide you want to speak to the person, but at least ask one very specific question that helps number one us to be able to protect the time for our investor family members can also it helps the individual who wants to speak to the investor family member get really clear on what is at least one at least one most time people actually the share two or three, which is fine, but that way When we build a bridge and connect them, they are each now working to optimise and make that time together as productive as possible. So it's a very specific way. Like I said, it's kind of my ninja trick. But I want to ninja secret moment, not a ninja trick a ninja secret that I want to share with you. Because I do believe that this helps to show that we are protecting the most valuable asset and also working to make that conversation as productive as possible between the two people. It's something that you can use, pay it forward. Like I said, I want to keep these episodes super super, to the point and give you the value that you're looking for. So share today's ninja tip with whoever you want. Put it into practice tomorrow, say hey, yeah, absolutely happy to connect you with this person? Could you just give me one specific question, then I'll build in connect the two of you thereafter. And if you've already asked this type of question, and now you're listening, you're seeing that I'm sharing it with the world because hey, listen, we got to share, help everybody to be much more productive, and also show that you care about those who are part of your community, part of your investor, family, et cetera, et cetera. So while you're sharing today's conversation with someone else, talk about it, figure out how you can use this in one of your next interactions. And I'll be here preparing for the next solo episode. So until then, go out and make it a great day. And thank you very much. Trusted you enjoy today's conversation and once again, today's conversation was sponsored by first generation Capital Partners.
