  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.
• 0:15
  To. Teach distinctions,
• 0:17
  possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring some
• 0:20
  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. You were sitting with me while I
• 0:32
  am editing, getting my video ready to put up onto YouTube.
• 0:37
  And I really wanted to share this with everybody because
• 0:41
  normally this is something that I feel like when you do
• 0:45
  something different, it always gives you that like uncertainty.
• 0:49
  You don't know what you're heading into.
• 0:52
  And this little experiment that I have been doing with YouTube
• 0:56
  and creating shorts and putting them up there has taught me so
• 1:01
  much. And I'm on day 17 today.
• 1:03
  So for the last 17 days, every day, I have committed to putting
• 1:07
  up a short and not making this as simple as I possibly could.
• 1:13
  I'm not boosting them. I'm not doing anything out of
• 1:16
  the ordinary. I'm just saying, hey, you know
• 1:19
  what? I want to try this.
• 1:21
  I really want to dive into it and I'm not going to put any
• 1:23
  pressure on myself. I'm just going to see if I can
• 1:25
  get into a routine and shoot a little video every day looking
• 1:30
  for somewhere, you know, 30 seconds or less.
• 1:32
  I had done them a little bit longer and in the beginning they
• 1:35
  weren't getting the, the traction that some of the
• 1:38
  shorter ones were. So I was like, OK, I'll just do
• 1:40
  shorter ones. Easy peasy.
• 1:42
  And I, I started to get very intentional and observe a lot
• 1:46
  when I was doing it. And I can say without a doubt
• 1:51
  that in the last 17 days now I committed to doing 21 days and
• 1:55
  I'm going to do it. I'm probably going to go well
• 1:57
  past the 21 days and see how far I can go because I don't hate
• 2:01
  it. And that's the first thing in
• 2:03
  this. I didn't know if I was going to
• 2:05
  like doing it this much. I didn't know how it was going
• 2:07
  to go. Yeah, I have the podcast.
• 2:09
  And I was like, you know, I I really, I really feel like I
• 2:13
  could do more. My coach has been pushing me to
• 2:16
  go ahead and say, and yes, I have a coach and he he's been
• 2:19
  pushing me to say, listen, you know, you want to do this.
• 2:22
  You've tried hiring people to help you with it and nothing has
• 2:25
  worked. So do it yourself.
• 2:26
  Like try it, see if you can get a handle on it.
• 2:29
  And that's exactly what ended up happening.
• 2:31
  So I'm getting a handle on it. But unexpected things happened
• 2:35
  during these last 17 days. One where I felt like my
• 2:39
  creativity was becoming more and more abundant in ideas.
• 2:45
  What can I do? How can I do it?
• 2:47
  I stopped worrying about putting coaching lessons into it in the
• 2:51
  beginning because it's harder for me to sit there.
• 2:54
  It's very easy for me to do this, to do a podcast for all of
• 2:57
  you, but it's harder for me to sit there and figure out how to
• 3:00
  film this. Like, how would I film this?
• 3:02
  Would I film myself sitting at the computer?
• 3:04
  That be more complicated? So I took away the pressure in
• 3:09
  my own mind and said I'm not doing any of that.
• 3:11
  I'm just going to do what's around me.
• 3:13
  So it became about the farm, it became about the dogs, the
• 3:18
  chickens, things like that in my everyday world that I utilize to
• 3:23
  make me feel abundant and caring and happy.
• 3:26
  And that worked. That is working, let me put it
• 3:30
  that way. I'm letting people into my world
• 3:32
  a little bit, showing them things.
• 3:35
  But the more important aspect of that, that has been a defining
• 3:39
  factor for me is that I felt like my creativity is kicking in
• 3:44
  in a big way. It's always with me and it's
• 3:46
  always very abundant. But now it's really starting to
• 3:49
  kick in and I'm getting different ideas.
• 3:51
  I can't seem to take a shower without having 4000 thoughts in
• 3:54
  my head of what I could shoot for additional videos.
• 3:57
  So I, I encourage you to try something different.
• 4:03
  Do something that makes you feel a little uncomfortable, but at
• 4:07
  the same time do it in a way that allows you to be consistent
• 4:11
  with it. Because this is the big thing.
• 4:13
  The consistency has really broken down my pattern of just
• 4:18
  being stuck. And that to me is where the gold
• 4:22
  is. I can't stress that enough.
• 4:25
  I feel like we've hit a wall in the beginning and then I was
• 4:30
  able to break right through it based on just doing something
• 4:33
  consistent. And what, what are we talking
• 4:36
  about? We're talking about a little
• 4:37
  tiny video that is less than, you know, 30 seconds.
• 4:42
  Come on, that's not a big deal. And even learning how to edit
• 4:46
  the videos, I was stuck. But then I did some research,
• 4:51
  asked my ChatGPT what's a software that would work for me
• 4:54
  based on another software that I liked.
• 4:56
  It suggested Filmora. I got it, started using it, love
• 5:00
  it, recommended it to some clients, they're using it, they
• 5:03
  love it. So I think this all boils down
• 5:06
  to one thing. When you want something and
• 5:09
  you're willing to do consistent work for it, it changes the
• 5:13
  outcome. It changes it so much and it
• 5:16
  makes it so much more possible. So believe in yourself, believe
• 5:20
  in what you're doing, give it a chance, but really change
• 5:23
  something up, Throw it out there, make yourself a little
• 5:25
  uncomfortable because it really does work.
• 5:28
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:31
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
