How Anyone Can Build a pipeline Of

Growing Your Pipelines

Like Pablo, pipeline builders may not have much to 
show for their efforts during the first few days or 
even years. But consistent, disciplined efforts over 
time can transform small contributions into huge 
dividends. 
Pipelines Keep Pumping After 
Buckets Run Dry 
Now do you understand what I mean when I talk 
about the power of the pipeline? Darryl Strawberry 
has carried a huge bucket for years. And what does 
he have to show for it today? Nothing but boxes of 
cancelled checks! 
Strawberry has had 20 years to build pipelines. If 
he had taken just 10% of his earnings and put the 
money to work by building an investment pipeline 
in the stock market, he could’ve had a lifeline worth 
between $20 million and $100 million by now. 
But he didn’t. 
Missed Opportunity 
No Pipeline Means No residual Income 
 
Strawberry assumed his big bucket would never dry 
lup. Wrong assumption. Buckets don’t 
automatically replenish themselves, no matter how

big they are. That’s because the bucket carrier has 
to lug the bucket to get it refilled. When he stops 
lugging – either through retirement…or illness…or 
injury…or burnout – the bucket starts drying up. 
Pipelines, on the other hand, keep pumping profits 
long after buckets run dry. That rule holds true for 
big bucket carriers, just as it does for small bucket 
carriers. As I said, it’s not the size of the bucket 
that counts. People with lbig buckets tend to be big 
spenders. The key to financial freedom is to adopt a 
pipeline building mentality – and then to put lyour 
pipeline plan into action!
