  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset coach, creative strategist, and also happened to
• 0:10
  be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
• 0:16
  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  You know, when I'm not in with the chickens and I'm not hanging
• 0:33
  out, you know, photographing the chickens or videoing the
• 0:35
  chickens or the farm. One of the things that I spend
• 0:39
  an inordinate amount of time doing is helping my clients with
• 0:43
  their emotional states. And they're they're just
• 0:49
  managing their emotions so that they can grow themselves, but
• 0:52
  also grow their businesses. And I really have a very unique
• 0:56
  blend of what I do and helping people grow their businesses is
• 1:01
  such a, a tremendous part or their roles in businesses,
• 1:05
  whatever they're doing. Like some, a lot of my clients
• 1:07
  are parts of other companies they don't necessarily own, but
• 1:11
  I help them understand how to expand themselves in those roles
• 1:15
  and how to really cultivate the people around them that they
• 1:18
  lead. Because I would say 99.9% of the
• 1:22
  people that I coach are leaders in one way or another.
• 1:26
  And it's such a privilege to be able to work with people on this
• 1:31
  and help them and brainstorm. Because when it comes right down
• 1:34
  to it, everything that we do is about emotion.
• 1:36
  There is not one thing that we do that is void of emotion.
• 1:40
  We are constantly having to deal with it.
• 1:42
  And when you start to consider how much we how much time we
• 1:46
  spend working on cultivating our business and cultivating our
• 1:52
  financials and cultivating our outcomes, it would be silly to
• 1:56
  not look at the emotional context of all of that because
• 1:59
  for goodness sakes, it's a tremendous part of it.
• 2:02
  So often people come into coaching for one reason.
• 2:06
  But it turns out that we start working on many things.
• 2:09
  And I am very blessed that that I have, you know, over the years
• 2:13
  of doing all this and the family that I come from, the
• 2:16
  entrepreneurial family that I come from, you know, I was set
• 2:20
  up long before I even knew it to do this work and to see things
• 2:24
  differently and help people see things differently, provide them
• 2:27
  with different perspectives, ideas, and use my creativity.
• 2:31
  Because that is just the the best part for me, being able to
• 2:34
  dive in and use my creativity. And one of the things that I
• 2:39
  have recognized recently in doing all of this work is how
• 2:44
  many people don't trust themselves.
• 2:47
  They start to get very. And these are clients that I've
• 2:50
  worked with for a very long time.
• 2:51
  And they still, they question things and they stop and they
• 2:54
  say, wait a minute, you know, I'm not sure about this.
• 2:58
  I, I'm really like freaking myself out.
• 3:01
  And they often think they're not supposed to freak themselves
• 3:04
  out. But I'm here to tell you that,
• 3:06
  yeah, you know what? I get freaked out too.
• 3:08
  And I'm, I am constantly working on those things with my clients
• 3:12
  so that they don't feel that they are beholden to that and
• 3:17
  have to stay in that state. But the truth is we all get
• 3:20
  freaked out by things. And when you're growing and
• 3:23
  you're leading and you're building the plane while you're
• 3:26
  flying it, which we are all doing to some respect, it is
• 3:30
  scary. It is one of those things that
• 3:32
  you are, you're like, is this going to stay?
• 3:36
  Am I going to keep the altitude up?
• 3:38
  Am I going to stay afloat? Can I do this?
• 3:40
  Can I make sure that I've got this handled?
• 3:43
  And any, it doesn't matter who you are.
• 3:46
  The biggest CE OS out there to the smallest ones, they all
• 3:50
  question it, everybody, I can tell you that.
• 3:53
  So because I'm in their heads, I work with them.
• 3:55
  I know, I know how it goes. So what's so critically
• 3:59
  important to remember in all of this as you're doing whatever
• 4:03
  you're doing, you might be listening to this and you're
• 4:05
  like right at the beginning of this journey.
• 4:07
  And then you might be listening, you're in the middle and you
• 4:09
  might be listening and you're, you know, closing down, winding
• 4:12
  out, whatever it might be. Remember, there's always going
• 4:16
  to be something that freaks you out.
• 4:18
  Every single stage we go through has something that's going to
• 4:21
  freak us out. I promise you that, my friends,
• 4:24
  it's going to stretch you because that's how it works.
• 4:27
  And your business, you're never going to understand all of it.
• 4:30
  And even when you get where you think you're like, OK, I got it.
• 4:34
  Something's going to change, something's going to grow,
• 4:36
  something's going to evolve. You know, it, it, that's just
• 4:39
  the way it works in the world. People are always progressing,
• 4:42
  coming up with new ideas going on.
• 4:43
  I mean, remember, many of you, like myself, grew up.
• 4:47
  We don't even know what Amazon was.
• 4:49
  There was not an Amazon. We didn't have this instant
• 4:52
  delivery of things. It I mean, that wasn't even a
• 4:54
  part of our world. Imagine where it's going to go.
• 4:58
  I remember watching the Jetsons cartoons as a kid sitting there
• 5:02
  saying, wow, I mean, Can you imagine?
• 5:04
  Just like having that kind of stuff?
• 5:06
  But guess what? That's possible and it's going
• 5:09
  to change. And guess what?
• 5:10
  It already things have progressed.
• 5:13
  Things have changed every day. It just in the time it takes me
• 5:16
  in the 5 minutes to record this podcast, things change.
• 5:19
  So don't get freaked out by it. Welcome it and say I'm I'm the
• 5:23
  most curious person I know. And I love having that in my
• 5:28
  head saying I'm the most curious person I know and I'm not going
• 5:31
  to get freaked out by stuff. I'm just going to be curious
• 5:33
  about it all and I'm going to learn.
• 5:34
  So if you take that into your business and your attitude, I
• 5:37
  promise you, you're going to be way better off.
• 5:40
  OK, I hope this was helpful and I will see you guys tomorrow.
• 5:43
  Bye.
