This is a YouTube clip titled "DS107 Dogs in the Yard Made by Headliner" (created 2019-04-30) featuring Kim Gaskill hosting a short episode of "The Daily Spark." The content is a single-speaker vlog/monologue in English (opening with a Spanish greeting) in which Kim describes watching three dogs in stormy weather and uses their behavior as a business metaphor — urging listeners not to simply copy others, to blaze their own trail, and to follow her on social (Ecotek Everywhere).

¡Hola! It's a new day. I'm Kim Gaskill and this is The Daily Spark. Very windy last night. It's kind of stormy and rainy. There's 3 dogs here at the house. Where I'm staying, and they need to go outside. They don't like to go outside in this weather, but I'm sitting here watching them, letting them out into the backyard, and they're very funny to watch. If you have dogs, you know what I'm talking about. They go out, they have to find the perfect spot. There's 3 of them now, so they all have to pay attention to what the other ones are doing, where they're going to the bathroom, what they're doing, how they're going to the bathroom. And then they can't come back in the house until they found the spot that the other one went to the bathroom and try to mark their territory on top of it. It's quite hilarious, but it got me thinking, are we doing that too much? Especially in our business, are we paying attention too much to what other people are doing, waiting for them to make a move and then trying to one-up it or trying to top it? Are we holding ourself back? Are we not moving forward because we're waiting to see what everybody else is doing? Today is Monday. I'm gonna start this week out a little differently. Not paying so much attention to where I think I need to be or where others tell me I should be, but focus on where I know I need to be and what I need to be working on for me. It's good to watch what's going on, but it's also good to kind of blaze your own trail. Go out there and do what you need to do. Be aware of those other dogs in the yard, but don't let them hold you back from doing what you need to do for you. I hope that makes sense, and I hope that you will follow me across the socials. E-C-O-T-E-K. That's Ecotec Everywhere. Join Join me again tomorrow for another Daily Spark.
