  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 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 coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning. We are actually standing out in
• 0:30
  the field already because I have a problem with thiefs and they
• 0:37
  are feathered thieves and they are stealing anything they can
• 0:43
  find off of the fig trees. They are in high fig season, led
• 0:49
  by Miss Amelia, who can jump up. They've recruited a rooster to
• 0:53
  help them jump up. One of the Roosters is very
• 0:55
  agile, the other one is heavy bodied.
• 0:57
  But the little 1, literal 1, and he can jump up pretty high.
• 1:02
  And they've recruited him into their thievery and they're going
• 1:07
  around checking every fig tree. So we've got 123-4567, 8 fig
• 1:14
  trees, well actually 9, but one doesn't produce because it's
• 1:17
  planted in the wrong spot and we have to move it.
• 1:20
  And they did really, really well because of the rain we had.
• 1:26
  So these beautiful figs are all sitting outside waiting to be
• 1:29
  picked. And every day I come by and I
• 1:32
  pick figs. And Amelia, this obviously she
• 1:37
  knows that the figs are here because she can sense them.
• 1:40
  She can, you know, she smells them.
• 1:42
  She's very good at being who she is.
• 1:45
  As far as stealing things, she always has been.
• 1:48
  She's very, you know, she's very aware bird.
• 1:51
  And she'll come out and she'll just be like all over
• 1:54
  everything. And before you know it, she's
• 1:55
  taking things. She's, she's just crafty.
• 1:58
  She waits on the porch when there's BBQ happening.
• 2:00
  She knows how to beg. She's got it nailed down, but
• 2:04
  this thievery off the trees, she has now recruited all of her
• 2:07
  little cohorts into it and they come with her in the morning.
• 2:11
  And I have to be out here early to get these before anybody else
• 2:16
  does because goodness gracious, the last thing I want to do is
• 2:19
  come out and see 57 chickens eating all the figs.
• 2:24
  I would lose my mind because I'm completely obsessed with the
• 2:27
  figs. So it's not that I don't share,
• 2:30
  I share. They've already had their fair
• 2:32
  share, but I have to make sure she can't get them and to watch
• 2:37
  them come out and do this and see how like really bright they
• 2:43
  are at this process just cracks me up.
• 2:46
  Every time I come out and I see what they're up to, it just
• 2:49
  makes me laugh because I'm like, Oh my gosh, look at them.
• 2:52
  I I cannot get over how quickly a chicken can jump when there's
• 2:57
  a fig involved. Which brings me to my point of
• 2:59
  what is this all about? Kim, what are you talking about
• 3:01
  today? It's amazing when we have the
• 3:03
  motivation we want, how we can get what we want.
• 3:07
  Now, getting a chicken to jump normally, even if I have a treat
• 3:10
  in my hand that they would want, they don't just jump.
• 3:14
  They they don't, they just won't jump up.
• 3:17
  They're very stubborn. But you bring out a fig and
• 3:20
  you've changed the rules of the game.
• 3:21
  My friends, they're all over it. They will jump, they will go in
• 3:25
  the air, they will follow you. There is something magical about
• 3:29
  figs and chickens that I don't know that most of us knew.
• 3:33
  However, here's what's really interesting.
• 3:35
  It's it follows the same rule for us.
• 3:38
  If there is motivation, we are, we will do it.
• 3:43
  We will find it. The question is always figuring
• 3:45
  out what is your motivation? What personal motivation do you
• 3:48
  have? Are you money motivated?
• 3:51
  Are you time motivated? Are you, you know, are there
• 3:54
  gifts that motivate you? Like, what is it?
• 3:56
  What brings you that level of oomph that will make you move
• 4:01
  your butt and do what you need to do?
• 4:03
  For some of us, you know, like I used to be like motivated by
• 4:07
  desperation more than anything. When I was a single mom, it was
• 4:11
  I had to hustle like I and I'm always, it's been ingrained to
• 4:17
  me to be a hustler. But when I was by myself taking
• 4:20
  care of my daughter, it was absolute.
• 4:23
  You know, you, you go and do you do what you need to do to make
• 4:27
  sure everything is taken care of.
• 4:29
  And it was no joke for me. I did it and I, I was never
• 4:32
  sorry. I did it the way I did it
• 4:33
  because I knew if I was able to grind and push it, yes, it was
• 4:39
  motivated by desperation, but I definitely got what I needed out
• 4:42
  of it. So you've got to understand,
• 4:44
  know your motivation, and I'll tell you what, these chickens
• 4:48
  know their motivation. They got this nailed down.
• 4:50
  So figure it out. I hope you guys have a blessed
• 4:53
  day and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
