  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.
• 0:21
  World. So welcome to the.
• 0:22
  Coop and let's start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning.
• 0:29
  You're helping me put some bird stuff together this morning and
• 0:32
  go out and care for the baby birds.
• 0:34
  We've got a whole bunch of little tiny fledgling Bluebirds
• 0:39
  that keep showing up. So we've got probably 5 Bluebird
• 0:43
  houses, so it's kind of cool. They're all sticking around so
• 0:46
  far. And you know, of course me, I'm
• 0:48
  photographing all of it. But anyway, we're talking about
• 0:51
  being seen and how so many of us have a challenge with being
• 0:56
  seen. Like we want the outcome of
• 0:58
  being seen. We want our businesses to
• 1:01
  thrive. We want things to work out for
• 1:03
  ourselves. But we don't have the desire to
• 1:08
  really work on putting ourselves out there because we're afraid
• 1:11
  of what people are going to think or we just are not that
• 1:14
  person. Can't tell you how many times
• 1:16
  I've heard that one recently. Oh, I'm not that person.
• 1:19
  I don't want to just throw myself out there and look like
• 1:22
  I'm just trying to get attention.
• 1:24
  But here's the truth. We are trying to get attention
• 1:27
  and we need to own the fact that we're trying to get attention.
• 1:30
  We can't sit there and say we don't want attention and then
• 1:33
  all of a sudden expect to get results that are infinitely like
• 1:38
  gone from from where the where the action is.
• 1:43
  So in other words, if you want to be seen, you have to do
• 1:47
  actions to be seen. You can't expect to be seen and
• 1:51
  not put the action into it. Outcome without effort.
• 1:54
  I mean, you've heard me say it before, outcome without effort.
• 1:57
  But the bigger piece of this puzzle really comes down to
• 2:00
  something very, very important. And that is understanding that
• 2:04
  it's OK to be seen. It's OK to be seen.
• 2:07
  You don't have to look pathetic. You don't have to look strange.
• 2:09
  You don't have to look like you're out there begging for
• 2:12
  people to work with you. Please work with me.
• 2:15
  Please work with me because nobody wants desperation breath
• 2:19
  all over whatever they're working on.
• 2:21
  But it's about confidence and it's about knowing that you're
• 2:25
  what you're doing is helping people.
• 2:27
  So one of the first questions you have to ask yourself is do I
• 2:30
  believe that what I'm doing is helping people?
• 2:33
  And if you do, if you answer that question, I believe that
• 2:37
  what I'm doing is helping people.
• 2:38
  So then you are, you owe it to those people to go out and be
• 2:43
  seen so that they can find you because they need the help.
• 2:46
  That is exactly how I truly feel about what I do with this work
• 2:50
  and writing books and putting together ways to be seen.
• 2:56
  So in a world where there's a bunch of people who are just
• 2:59
  offering things that are, you know, shenanigans in my head,
• 3:03
  they're not doing things that really help.
• 3:04
  They just want to take advantage of things and, and I just, I
• 3:08
  kind of sit there and go, I'm supposed to be seen so that I
• 3:12
  can help people. I know that I know I'm supposed
• 3:15
  to be seen so I can help people. And that is what is so important
• 3:20
  about this work. That is what is so important
• 3:22
  about this work. Taking the time to say, yes, I
• 3:25
  know I'm supposed to be seen. I know I'm supposed to be doing
• 3:29
  all of this. Whatever your work may be,
• 3:31
  that's how you have to start framing it to yourself so that
• 3:34
  you can be confident and go out and do what's so, so important.
• 3:39
  It's so important, my friends. It's so important because people
• 3:43
  rely on us. People look to us.
• 3:45
  We have no choice. We have to make decisions that
• 3:48
  say, yes, I'm going to do this work.
• 3:50
  Yes, I'm going to make sure that I get seen because I know
• 3:54
  without a shadow of a doubt, I'm going to help someone.
• 3:57
  Now, if you're in a business that you question your level of
• 4:00
  helping someone, like for instance, this happens a lot
• 4:03
  with people that are in a business like real estate where
• 4:07
  they'll say, oh, well, I mean, I do real estate.
• 4:10
  Am I really helping people? And the truth of the matter is
• 4:13
  you are, because guess what? Most people can't figure out
• 4:18
  what they want. Trying to buy a house, the most
• 4:21
  important purchase in the whole entire world is one of the
• 4:23
  biggest things that drives them crazy and it's the most money
• 4:27
  they're ever going to spend on one purchase.
• 4:30
  And they have other people involved.
• 4:33
  So they struggle to try and decide, oh, is this the right
• 4:36
  house? Is this the right look?
• 4:37
  They don't understand the deal. They have to be judged the
• 4:41
  entire time by their what they have and what they have
• 4:45
  potential to have in their earnings.
• 4:48
  And that's very hard for people. It's really, really hard for
• 4:51
  people. So if you're a real estate agent
• 4:54
  and you happen to be listening to this, I want to stress what
• 4:58
  you do is so good in this world to help other people through
• 5:01
  that process. And you have to remember that
• 5:04
  you have to be patient with yourself in the process.
• 5:07
  You have to say, you know what, I know I'm doing good work here.
• 5:10
  I know I'm doing good work, and I know that I'm doing things
• 5:13
  that are going to serve people. Therefore, I'm going to allow
• 5:18
  myself the the pleasure of being able to do the work
• 5:22
  wholeheartedly and not beat myself up for it.
• 5:25
  I mean, truly, it is incredibly important to think that way.
• 5:29
  So when you have these issues of starting to go down the rabbit
• 5:32
  hole of like, I don't know if I have value, sit down and really
• 5:37
  brainstorm for yourself. What does it mean to be able to
• 5:40
  help these people in whatever it is that you're doing, whatever
• 5:44
  it is that you're doing? I don't care if it's your
• 5:45
  waiting tables. I don't care what it is.
• 5:47
  You're helping somebody. It might just be, hey, listen, I
• 5:50
  bring a smile to somebody's face today.
• 5:52
  Have the value in it. Believe in it because that's
• 5:54
  going to change how you feel about it and it's going to push
• 5:57
  your confidence over the top to talk about it.
• 6:00
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I'll
• 6:02
  see you tomorrow. Bye.
