  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 happen 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.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Well, it's actually good afternoon because you know,
• 0:33
  tomorrow morning it will be dark, but hey, we're doing out
• 0:35
  here and we're doing it now. So we're going to get to be in
• 0:38
  the coop. In any event.
• 0:40
  Let's talk about how quickly are you willing to shift and change
• 0:47
  in order to get progress. It's an interesting question
• 0:51
  when you start to ask yourself that.
• 0:52
  Now this is coming up because for me, this is one of those
• 0:55
  things that I, I am very stubborn.
• 0:58
  And if I get an idea in my head, it takes me a while to be
• 1:02
  willing to shift. I mean, I'm just going to be
• 1:05
  honest about it. It's not that I'm not willing to
• 1:07
  shift. It just takes me a while because
• 1:10
  I get this idea in my head and I don't want to make any
• 1:13
  adaptations typically because I see it done in my head.
• 1:17
  Now sometimes it's it's spot on and it works.
• 1:20
  And I'll say a good amount of the time it works that way,
• 1:23
  especially if I'm working on a creative idea and I get it in my
• 1:26
  head. Like right now I'm redoing the
• 1:28
  whole chicken run area and I see how I want it to be and I I get
• 1:33
  hunkered down on that's what's going to happen.
• 1:36
  And for I'm going to give you a great example because we need to
• 1:39
  have this like little cover up to where the chickens can.
• 1:43
  I can open their main doors and then they have a cover so they
• 1:45
  don't get rained on inside. Now this is, this is a
• 1:48
  conversation that's been going on since we got the new coop.
• 1:51
  So that's well over a year. And my husband has said
• 1:54
  repeatedly that I can't do what I want to do.
• 1:58
  So I just go, OK. And I pause and I let it go and
• 2:01
  I had tarps up and I had, they're not tops, but there's
• 2:04
  those things that like in a restaurant that cover you've
• 2:06
  with shade. And I had those up and then they
• 2:08
  blew down in the wind and there were all these problems with
• 2:11
  them. And I've talked about it before,
• 2:13
  but over time, I have never given up the concept of what I
• 2:17
  was initially looking for. Now, have I adapted to change in
• 2:21
  how I thought about it? Yes.
• 2:23
  Because I said, OK, I don't need a whole porch.
• 2:26
  I would just like to have a cover.
• 2:28
  So now we started having these adaptations, yet it's still the
• 2:33
  same idea, kind of. And he's finally come around to
• 2:37
  saying, OK, he's doing it. So it's interesting because I, I
• 2:42
  get stubborn, but I will make that shift.
• 2:46
  Sometimes it takes me a bit, if I'm completely honest because I
• 2:50
  hang on to what the original picture was.
• 2:53
  But here's the trick. I I can still see the end
• 2:56
  product and when I see it in my mind's eye, when I see it in my
• 3:00
  imagination, when my creativity has come up with it, I hate to
• 3:03
  let go of it because I can see it finished just like this
• 3:06
  chicken coop on the inside and how I envisioned it.
• 3:09
  Now. Am I going to be making new
• 3:10
  adaptations to it this year? Yes, 100% because I do all the
• 3:14
  time. It's going to get stripped down
• 3:17
  and cleaned out and painted very shortly.
• 3:20
  But it's a, it's a for me, it's a process.
• 3:25
  I like to have that, that vision and then I get locked into it.
• 3:30
  Now can it be disastrous if you're not flexible?
• 3:34
  Yes. But there's parts of this where
• 3:38
  if you're asking the right questions, you can see where you
• 3:41
  may go awry. Now, I can tell you, I ask those
• 3:45
  questions most of the time. Now, am I perfect with it?
• 3:48
  Nope, I am not. I would be lying if I said I was
• 3:51
  because there's sometimes where I'll say, Oh, I didn't think of
• 3:53
  that because maybe I'm asking something that I don't have
• 3:56
  knowledge of or, you know, I, I didn't understand something when
• 4:00
  I came up with it, which is fine.
• 4:02
  That's why you have to seek help from people and be willing to
• 4:05
  look at what other people have to say so you can take take that
• 4:08
  into consideration, which is the exact reason why I have a coach
• 4:11
  because he has different perspectives than me and it all
• 4:14
  blends together. So it's not about just saying,
• 4:18
  OK, I have this idea and I'm rigid on it.
• 4:22
  Because if you're rigid, we know rigid things break.
• 4:26
  It's it's more about how quickly can you do it?
• 4:28
  How long will you suffer with it?
• 4:30
  How long will you stay stuck before you realize you have to
• 4:33
  do something different? You have to change your approach
• 4:35
  to make the outcome. And that's what this is all
• 4:38
  about today. How quickly are you willing to
• 4:42
  make the shift? You know, do you have to keep
• 4:44
  running into the same wall over and over before you're willing
• 4:47
  to change? I'm not, you know, as I've
• 4:49
  gotten older, I've realized I'm just not willing to keep running
• 4:52
  into the wall, But I still will stick to my vision.
• 4:55
  I still will feel the root of it.
• 4:57
  I still will feel like I'm, I'm getting close to that part.
• 5:01
  And that's what makes me feel so good about it because I, I have
• 5:04
  maybe deviated a little bit from the original vision, but I still
• 5:07
  hold on to it because I know if I can get to that point, I'm
• 5:10
  going to be really excited about what I have.
• 5:13
  So consider that. Ask the right questions, make
• 5:16
  sure you're focused on your outcome, but make sure you've
• 5:19
  taken all the factors into consideration with asking the
• 5:23
  right questions and potentially of the right people so that you
• 5:26
  can get there as quickly as possible and not sit there and,
• 5:31
  you know, stay stubborn forever. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:34
  you have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:37
  Bye.
