  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So today we're talking about work and we're talking about
• 0:34
  what you do to create the income in your life that supports you
• 0:38
  and your version of family, whatever that may be out there,
• 0:42
  whether it's yourself your animals, your kids as partners,
• 0:45
  whatever it might be. But we're talking about work and
• 0:48
  we're asking what do you need to level up at work?
• 0:52
  Like what do you need to do in order to level up at work?
• 0:55
  And it's not, I'm not talking about what you think they owe
• 0:58
  you or what they can give you. I'm talking about your
• 1:01
  perspective of yourself, there seems to be a big Trend going on
• 1:06
  right now. And a lot of pointing at
• 1:09
  employers who aren't giving up enough who aren't giving enough
• 1:12
  breaks who aren't recognizing enough, and I always come back
• 1:16
  to one thing with my clients. You got to look at yourself
• 1:20
  honestly. And you got to think of okay?
• 1:23
  If I really am doing all these things, if I really am doing
• 1:26
  everything that I think I'm doing and I'm playing the Best
• 1:30
  game that I can play and they're still not recognizing me.
• 1:34
  What is my contribution in that? And what do I need to do to get
• 1:39
  recognized? What do I need to do to level
• 1:42
  up? And they are eyes and you can go
• 1:45
  and ask the question if they can't answer you and they can't
• 1:48
  say to you. Hey Kim.
• 1:50
  This is what I think you need to do in order to reach this next
• 1:52
  level to be at this place that you want.
• 1:55
  Then this is probably not the place you want to stay because
• 1:58
  that means they are Fused about the rules of the game.
• 2:02
  You can't play in a game where you don't understand the rules.
• 2:07
  Now, nine times out of ten, when you go, they're going to give
• 2:12
  you something and then you have to decide if you want to do it.
• 2:16
  And this is always the tricky part, it's okay to say you know,
• 2:19
  I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that.
• 2:21
  I did that at one point in my life, for a company that I
• 2:24
  worked with traveling, all over the world and it was 185 days a
• 2:29
  year on the road. And I just got to the point
• 2:31
  where I did not want to travel 185 days on the road with small
• 2:36
  kids, I just didn't want to do it anymore and it was too much
• 2:39
  and I was making choices that were cool for a period of time
• 2:43
  and then they became not cool. And I was stressed about it and
• 2:47
  I had to make a decision about what I wanted to do with that
• 2:51
  information. So I said, you know, what can I
• 2:54
  do here? It can, is there anything else
• 2:56
  that I can do? And they were like, well, no
• 2:58
  this is, this is the, this is the roll.
• 3:00
  If you want to stay in this role, this is what the role is
• 3:03
  and it wasn't going to change and it wasn't going to morph.
• 3:05
  So I had to make those changes but I wouldn't have done that if
• 3:10
  I hadn't gone and asked the question and gotten the
• 3:12
  information and the best part of it is asking the right question
• 3:16
  is powerful, when you know, what you need to do, when you know
• 3:21
  who you want to be and you go, and you ask those questions and
• 3:24
  you get the answers then you can make a decision essential
• 3:27
  decisions about. Okay, now, What what's next?
• 3:32
  What do I need to do now? Otherwise you are stuck in a
• 3:36
  loop. In a place that's making you
• 3:40
  unhappy every day and basically sucking away little pieces of
• 3:44
  your soul. So you have to stop and pause
• 3:46
  and say wait, I can get the heck out of here if I want to I just
• 3:50
  have to make decisions and I know some people will say to me,
• 3:53
  there's no way I can leave. There's no place else I can go
• 3:56
  but part of that has to come from the place of you're in a
• 4:00
  state of despair and you're trying to make something happen
• 4:02
  from a state of despair. And I promise you when you get
• 4:06
  out of that state of despair, you I make anything happen by
• 4:09
  asking the right questions and by looking at what your
• 4:12
  resources are and by making great choice.
• 4:15
  So I'm going to ask you guys Please ask the right questions,
• 4:20
  please look at. What do I need to do?
• 4:23
  To level up with what I do, where I work, whatever that
• 4:27
  question is. And really be honest with
• 4:30
  yourself because in that moment, there's gold and you've got a
• 4:34
  mind for it. So be smart with your questions.
• 4:37
  Be really honest with yourself, never lie to yourself about it,
• 4:41
  and if you're not in the right spot move on, I hope you guys
• 4:45
  have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
