Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
0:30
So let's talk about wisdom. How does one gain wisdom?
0:35
How does one come up with saying, well, you know, I know
0:40
that this person, I could go to this person and this person is
0:43
very wise. They have a great deal of wisdom
0:45
and I would love to be able to tap into that.
0:47
Well, how do you define that? Like what makes it so that you
0:51
feel that person has wisdom? So for instance, if I am going
0:55
to do baking and I need help with baking, I am going to call
0:59
my Auntie Annie because she bakes all the time, everything.
1:03
And I know for a fact that she has massive wisdom in this
1:06
category. So if I'm going to go, I'm going
1:08
to go to her. But how do, how do, how do you
1:11
define that? Is it just like, is she really
1:14
that person? How do I know that?
1:15
Like, she's the best Baker? I know, but is she the best
1:19
person for it? That's a great question, isn't
1:21
it? Because just because you know
1:23
somebody and they have a wisdom in an area, is it the wisdom
1:27
that you're seeking? And that's the point of today's
1:30
conversation, because sometimes we go to somebody because
1:34
they're the best that we know, but they're not maybe the best
1:38
for the job or they don't don't have a depth of knowledge.
1:42
And a lot of this comes up when you're trying to learn something
1:47
new. So, for instance, I always knew
1:49
what I knew about gardening because I grew up with my father
1:53
and my uncle's gardening, and I learned from what my dad taught
1:56
me. When we moved down South and I
1:59
had to start all over again, I recognized that my knowledge
2:03
base, while it was good, it was not at all in depth and I needed
2:08
to have other knowledge. And then I recognized that OK, I
2:12
really need to like have deep knowledge because it is tricky
2:15
growing in deep heat. And then I realized, OK, I want
2:18
to grow flowers and I needed a whole different set of
2:21
knowledge. So I started reading up from,
2:24
you know, all these different universities here and the
2:27
colleges here about, you know, how to how to find out what
2:31
flowers will bloom in this heat, humidity, all kinds of stuff.
2:37
But again, it's like, OK, you've got to have deep experience.
2:41
I want someone who does this all the time, all the time, all the
2:45
time. And I, and this is something
2:47
that I stress to clients when they have vast knowledge bases,
2:52
you need to let clients know that you have that.
2:55
I tell people all the time. I have no shame in telling
2:57
people that I have over 48,000 hours in coaching and I've been
3:01
doing it for over 26 years because I worked really hard for
3:06
that. And that's a vast knowledge
3:08
base. And I want people to know that
3:11
so that they understand that that comes with me wherever I
3:14
go. And I can figure out a lot of
3:17
things before we they even come to the table.
3:20
Because I've seen it all before and I've seen things and I know
3:23
it. So when it comes to something
3:26
new for yourself, having that wisdom, having the ability to
3:30
say, OK, I need someone who has more of that than I do.
3:33
It's just like when I started these flowers.
3:35
Yes, I went through all of that, but this year I took it to a
3:38
whole new level. I went and I said, OK, the girl
3:40
who wrote the Cut Flower Garden, she has a a course.
3:43
I signed up for her course and everybody was like, well, you
3:46
don't want to have a business doing a cut flower business.
3:49
No, I don't. But I want her knowledge base of
3:51
how she's growing like that and how she's making that work
3:54
because she's pushing the gamut. She's doing things that are so
3:58
uniquely different than what other people do spacing wise,
4:03
How tight she can grow them, how tall she can get them, how she
4:08
pinches them back, what flowers need to be pinched back to give
4:11
you more buds. It is just a non-stop fire hose
4:18
of information about what you can do because that's all this
4:21
woman does, that's all this woman does and is obsessed with
4:25
it. Like I was obsessed with it the
4:26
way I'm obsessed with coaching and I love that.
4:29
So start to think about your own knowledge base and say, OK, am I
4:34
that tied to it? What do I want to be that
4:38
knowledgeable about? What do I want to have that much
4:41
wisdom on? Where do I want my wisdom to
4:43
grow? Where do I want to be?
4:45
Feel like I I am so wise in this area that I know I can bring
4:50
value to myself and to others with it because that's the next
4:55
phase in this world about what's going to make people valuable is
4:59
really, really having that. Because you know, the way we
5:04
value each other is shifting and changing and you have to find
5:09
ways to stand out. But when you understand this
5:12
part of yourself, when you can actually sit there and say that
5:16
that you know, I know about this piece of myself.
5:19
I know how my wisdom can affect others and what it can bring to
5:23
the table. That is a gift beyond all gifts.
5:27
So go figure that piece out. My friends, I hope you have a
5:31
blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
5:33
Bye.
