  Along with all her chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop so I'd like to talk to you
• 0:32
  a little bit about taking time to reflect on your day at the
• 0:35
  end of every day. Now, for some people, this may
• 0:39
  seem like, an arduous task and they just want to be done with
• 0:42
  the day and move on. But, here's what's so important
• 0:44
  about it, there is not really a solid way to get better at
• 0:48
  things. If you don't do the work and
• 0:50
  figure out where you need to shift in order to be better and
• 0:54
  that can only happen through the process of reflection and making
• 0:58
  decisions about, you know. No.
• 1:00
  What's next? And again that all starts with a
• 1:03
  debrief of yourself and what happened and being able to
• 1:08
  decide what that's going to mean to you.
• 1:10
  So some people will tell you you know, you have to do a gratitude
• 1:15
  list at the end of the day. And I think that those are very
• 1:17
  powerful and I do believe they work.
• 1:20
  But what I consider to be a preliminary to that is sitting
• 1:25
  down in debriefing the day and saying, okay in a very specific
• 1:30
  Format of asking yourself what went well today and answering
• 1:35
  it, throwing it all down. What could have been better and
• 1:39
  writing it all down and then how do I close the gap for tomorrow?
• 1:43
  So I know I don't repeat the same challenges from the day
• 1:46
  that I just had. So for me this just shows that
• 1:50
  you're thinking growth minded person and you can move forward
• 1:54
  with what you've learned from your day so you don't repeat the
• 1:57
  same issues. So oftentimes we in into this
• 2:00
  with our kids and I think that you know, school is coming back
• 2:04
  up soon and people are going to be getting their kids ready in
• 2:07
  the morning and out the door. And if I can tell you one point
• 2:11
  that most people struggle with it is getting ready for school
• 2:15
  and getting out the door. It is arduous for people because
• 2:19
  you're not the only person getting ready and the kids have
• 2:23
  to be on point. Everybody has to be in a good
• 2:25
  mood and it's often a huge hot button for a family.
• 2:29
  And if We'll have some people have trouble getting up in the
• 2:32
  morning and some people you know have trouble being organized.
• 2:36
  This is one of the biggest hot buttons that I can tell you I
• 2:39
  typically see it and even if you don't have kids it's getting out
• 2:43
  the door in the morning getting yourself out.
• 2:46
  Getting your partner out the door.
• 2:47
  Your however, even if it's just a dog sometimes this drives
• 2:52
  people insane. So what I suggest is looking at
• 2:56
  the situation and saying what are the hot buttons, where are
• 2:58
  the things that we can? Improve upon what works, what
• 3:03
  could be better? And how do we close the gap?
• 3:05
  And one of the biggest things that you can do is preparation
• 3:08
  the night before, which is why you do the debrief the night
• 3:11
  before. So you have the information
• 3:13
  right in your hands and you don't stop until you have it
• 3:18
  handled and you know you're set for the next day.
• 3:21
  Does this seem like it's a pain in the butt to do it every
• 3:25
  single day? Yes and it works.
• 3:28
  And when you do it every day you might not have Long list on most
• 3:32
  days, it might just be a very short list.
• 3:33
  You got a nice long list of what worked and a very short list of
• 3:37
  what didn't work. So you know what, you can
• 3:38
  repeat. But I will tell you, one of my
• 3:41
  greatest lessons in this was with my chickens themselves of
• 3:44
  like, okay, getting up in the morning, taking care of all
• 3:47
  these animals, taking care of my Gardens, moving taking care of
• 3:52
  all my plants, this is running a farm is not an easy thing to do
• 3:57
  and having extreme awareness. Of what's working and what's not
• 4:01
  working, makes a tremendous difference to your process.
• 4:06
  So I will tell you without question.
• 4:09
  The best thing that I did was figure out what's working for my
• 4:13
  process in the morning. Because I start coaching very
• 4:16
  early with my clients in London and in Scotland and in
• 4:21
  Australia. So it's I have to be up and I
• 4:24
  will tell you having nailed down.
• 4:27
  Okay, these are my processes. This is how I'm going to do.
• 4:30
  Thinking about everyday, what worked, what could have been
• 4:33
  better? What works, what could have been
• 4:34
  better? What worked, what could have
• 4:35
  been better and how do I close that Gap?
• 4:37
  Has made it so much easier for me out here in the mornings and
• 4:42
  it gives me time to do this for you.
• 4:43
  I mean, can you imagine if I wasn't, if I wasn't having that
• 4:47
  happen, I would never have time to be able to do this.
• 4:50
  So the debriefs and then taking that information and actually
• 4:54
  putting it into play, actually, putting it into something that
• 4:58
  can be utilized is the Power of the information because having
• 5:02
  the information is just one thing but having the power of
• 5:05
  using that information is a completely different thing.
• 5:09
  You know, you can have all the smarts in the whole world but if
• 5:12
  you don't use the skills that you've been given, they mean
• 5:15
  nothing and this is where it comes into play in a big way.
• 5:19
  So I'm going to challenge you guys to go off today.
• 5:22
  Spend your day and debrief yourself at the end of it.
• 5:26
  Sometimes some of my clients like to do it throughout the
• 5:28
  day, I personally would just an end of the day.
• 5:30
  Earl. And I like to write it all down
• 5:32
  at the end of my day, but some people like to do it throughout
• 5:35
  their day, they just keep a little notes in their phone and
• 5:38
  they say, okay here's my debrief for the end of the day and then
• 5:41
  they work on the what could have been better as well through at
• 5:44
  the end of the day. So it's not just that, they're,
• 5:46
  they're just kind of capturing the whole thing throughout the
• 5:49
  day, but at the end, they write it all down.
• 5:51
  It doesn't matter which way you do it, as long as you get it
• 5:53
  done. But then you utilize that
• 5:55
  information and you help yourself grow it and get to the
• 5:58
  next level. So go out there.
• 6:00
  Challenge yourself, figure it out and debrief yourself.
• 6:04
  Because that's how you get to that next level of greatness.
• 6:07
  I hope you guys have a fantastic day and I will see you all
• 6:11
  tomorrow. Take care.
• 6:12
  Bye.
