• 0:28
  Hey, everybody. Good morning From the chicken
• 0:31
  coop. Apparently I have someone over
• 0:33
  here who's very noisy in the background and has lots of
• 0:36
  things to say. So here, how long she's gonna go
• 0:40
  on and on anyway. OK, so today we are talking
• 0:45
  about the fact that just because you know something, it is not
• 0:49
  enough, you actually have to apply it and do it.
• 0:54
  We can't. We can't even just do it through
• 0:57
  Will. We can't even just say, well,
• 0:58
  I'm willing to do it, being willing to do it, not enough.
• 1:01
  You actually have to get off your butt and do it.
• 1:05
  You actually have to pour into things.
• 1:08
  And a big challenge that a lot of us have is taking the action,
• 1:13
  saying, OK, I'm, I'm going to take the action.
• 1:16
  I'm going to actually stick with it and do it.
• 1:19
  So I'm in the process of doing a rebranding.
• 1:23
  For my personal stuff, and I have been reading nonstop,
• 1:29
  watching videos nonstop, taking courses nonstop.
• 1:33
  Because I want to do this in a way that I've not done it
• 1:37
  before. I'm very good at doing this for
• 1:39
  other people. I suck at doing it for myself.
• 1:43
  And I can't answer the questions of the experts that I would, you
• 1:47
  know, bring into doing this with me one of my dearest, dearest
• 1:51
  people in that I love working with.
• 1:55
  I'm working on this with her, and I can't give her the
• 1:57
  information because I can't answer the questions, because I
• 1:59
  don't pour into it and don't find out.
• 2:01
  So there are things I know but and I'm willing to answer them,
• 2:05
  but I actually have to do it. And sitting my ass down and
• 2:08
  actually doing it can sometimes be a challenge because I'm
• 2:11
  always doing stuff for other people.
• 2:14
  So this process and engaging in this has really taught me so
• 2:18
  much. I can't even begin to tell you
• 2:20
  how much I have learned from this process because, again, not
• 2:25
  it knowing is not enough. Yes, I know this stuff forwards
• 2:28
  and backwards. Doesn't mean I can't.
• 2:31
  I'm doing it for myself. Am I willing to do it for
• 2:33
  myself? Yes.
• 2:34
  But it doesn't mean I'm still doing it for myself.
• 2:36
  And I thought, gosh, there's so much gold in talking to y'all
• 2:40
  about this because it is. One of the most difficult things
• 2:44
  that I personally have had to go through last night, I'm sitting
• 2:49
  there and I'm with my husband and we're talking about it.
• 2:51
  And I'm asking him his opinion and where he says I'll help you
• 2:55
  and I'll give you distinctions and we're sitting there, we're
• 2:59
  talking and then I'm getting aggravated and it's pushing all
• 3:01
  my buttons and I'm like, why he's trying to help me?
• 3:03
  Why am I doing this? What is the reason that I am
• 3:06
  acting like this right now? And as soon as I stop asking the
• 3:10
  why question, which is the deadly question of all, and I
• 3:13
  move into what's the reason I'm acting this way.
• 3:15
  The reason is because I just want to get it done.
• 3:18
  And I'm thinking to myself, OK, I've been doing this for weeks,
• 3:21
  I've been doing this since the beginning of the year, really
• 3:23
  defining, developing, writing, doing all this work.
• 3:27
  And and I'm at a point where I'm just frustrated and I want it
• 3:31
  done. And now I'm like, OK, we're
• 3:34
  halfway through the year. So the frustration is building.
• 3:37
  And I'm telling you all this because I want you to know this
• 3:40
  happens to everybody, not just you, OK?
• 3:44
  This happens to everybody. And I think it's valuable to
• 3:47
  hear somebody who's done this with other people has these
• 3:51
  issues too. So as I'm struggling and I'm
• 3:53
  trying to figure it out and I'm working through it and I'm
• 3:56
  listening to myself and I'm answering questions and I'm
• 3:58
  like, I don't even like my answers.
• 4:00
  What the heck am I doing? So?
• 4:03
  Pulling back, hearing it to say to myself, OK, that the level at
• 4:09
  which you are doing this is, is the frustrating point.
• 4:12
  You have to stop and you have to say, you know what, I have to
• 4:16
  just pull myself back. And I have to realize this is a
• 4:20
  commitment and it's not about the time, it's about getting it
• 4:23
  right. You said from the beginning it
• 4:24
  was about getting it right, so. Recalibrate, stop, pull back,
• 4:30
  ask the better questions and recognize that the desire is the
• 4:35
  beginning, but it is not enough. You have to be willing to take
• 4:40
  the actions. So last night I made the
• 4:43
  commitment that I was going to sit there and I was going to do
• 4:46
  this, and I was going to take the action necessary to get the
• 4:48
  outcomes because it's the only way I'm going to make it work.
• 4:52
  And all the stress went away. As soon as I started defining it
• 4:56
  in a different way, all the stress went away.
• 4:58
  I accepted the fact that this is a process and if the process
• 5:01
  takes me a little bit of time, okay, so be it.
• 5:04
  The process can take me a little bit of time and I'm willing to
• 5:07
  do it. So I wanted to share that with
• 5:09
  everybody once. So you know it's in the doing
• 5:13
  and the learning is in the doing and the discovery is in the
• 5:16
  doing. So whatever you're working on
• 5:20
  and you're going through, and you might be struggling or you
• 5:22
  might not be struggling just to own the fact that this is a
• 5:26
  process and it can be a fun process, it doesn't have to be a
• 5:31
  depleting process. You can make it a fun process,
• 5:35
  but you have to be willing to do that.
• 5:38
  And I wasn't willing for a little bit of time and now I am
• 5:41
  again. So I hope that this was valuable
• 5:44
  to you, my friends. I hope that you're willing to
• 5:46
  take the action, do the work, and I will see you all tomorrow
• 5:50
  morning and maybe I'll have answers, but but it's going to
• 5:55
  be a bit of a I think I've probably got another couple
• 5:58
  weeks of discovery, but we'll see.
• 6:00
  Alright my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I'll see
• 6:02
  you tomorrow. Bye.
