• 0:01
  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 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. And as you can hear, right on
• 0:31
  cue, the boys are out and about. So I have a quote I want to read
• 0:36
  to you today. It's from Rumi and it says as
• 0:40
  you start to walk on the way, the way appears, clarity doesn't
• 0:44
  come before action, it comes from action.
• 0:47
  Now they say this is directly from Rumi.
• 0:51
  However, you know, we always take it with a grain of salt,
• 0:53
  but it is a really great quote. So in my business, in what I do
• 0:58
  often, I pretty much every single session that I do with
• 1:04
  clients is based around the fact that we're going to work on them
• 1:07
  personally and we're going to work on them in their business
• 1:10
  or whatever else they're working on their creative, whatever it
• 1:13
  is that it that is their action out in the world, we're going to
• 1:16
  work on that. And this is one of the biggest
• 1:19
  distinctions that I constantly say to them.
• 1:23
  Knowing just what to do and how to do it is completely
• 1:29
  irrelevant. I know that sounds crazy, but it
• 1:32
  always shows up. The first thing you have to know
• 1:35
  is what you want to do. That is the key.
• 1:39
  You have to know the what beforehand.
• 1:43
  You've got to know the what. Like what do you want to create?
• 1:46
  And if every anybody out here is a long time listener, you know,
• 1:49
  you've heard me say, how is the killer of dreams?
• 1:51
  And I drew and I really believe that because if you don't know
• 1:55
  how to do something, you will hold yourself back and you will
• 1:58
  say, well, I don't know how. And then you sit on the
• 2:00
  sidelines and you wait instead of trying to figure it out as
• 2:03
  you go. And I can tell you throughout my
• 2:06
  life, I've been surrounded by people who come up to me and
• 2:09
  say, wow, it's just you're so impressive about all the stuff
• 2:12
  you get done. And I'm like, there's no
• 2:13
  difference between me and you. It's just I don't I don't focus
• 2:17
  on the how I figure it out as I go.
• 2:19
  My favorite phrase is we're building the plane is we're
• 2:21
  flying it and that's OK. That is OK.
• 2:27
  Does it mean sometimes you have to pull down and and say I got
• 2:30
  to get to a place where I can recalibrate some of this?
• 2:34
  Sure. Does it mean you're going to
• 2:35
  have challenges while you're flying?
• 2:37
  Yes, and you should still fly. And that's the whole point.
• 2:41
  Because the most incredibly beautiful thing about this
• 2:46
  process is that as you learn, you change.
• 2:49
  As you learn, you figure out, oh, wait, I could actually do
• 2:53
  this instead. And there are constant tweaks
• 2:56
  that I believe are the clues of from the universe giving us more
• 3:00
  and more and more juice and more flavor and more just abundance
• 3:05
  to whatever it is that we're doing.
• 3:06
  But instead what happens is we sit there and we say, well,
• 3:10
  because I don't know how, I can't.
• 3:12
  Now I, I, I want you to realize as a human being sitting here
• 3:17
  talking to you, I can tell you without a doubt, I did not know
• 3:22
  how to build this business. I did not know how to coach.
• 3:25
  I did not know how to farm when I arrived on this planet.
• 3:27
  I did not know consciously. Maybe I knew unconsciously, but
• 3:31
  consciously I did not know any of it.
• 3:34
  I had to figure it all out and figuring it out is part of our
• 3:38
  process. I'm still figuring it out.
• 3:40
  I'm still figuring out how to successfully go through and and
• 3:45
  have plants grow year round. I'm still trying to figure it
• 3:47
  all out and I'm learning and I'm studying.
• 3:50
  I'm still trying to figure out how to not have waste in the
• 3:53
  garden because I plant a lot so I can try different things and
• 3:57
  see what I like. Like I've got some melons out
• 3:58
  there that were written up so great.
• 4:01
  I don't like them. They taste weird, I don't like
• 4:05
  them. The chickens love them.
• 4:06
  So it's all great because there's no waste here on the
• 4:08
  farm with chickens. But that's not the point.
• 4:10
  The point is I don't know how to do all of this.
• 4:12
  I'm figuring it out as I go, and that actually is fun to me.
• 4:16
  So when you start to wire the fact that as you're figuring it
• 4:19
  out, it becomes fun. Figuring out is fun if you can
• 4:23
  wire your brain to start thinking that way instead of
• 4:26
  feeling defeated by it and thinking you have to know
• 4:28
  everything right up front, which is such a load of crap in my
• 4:32
  opinion. You do not have to have that.
• 4:34
  What you do have to do, it have to have is the tenacity to say
• 4:38
  I'm going to focus on my what, I'm going to feel excited about
• 4:42
  my what, and I'm going to let the how unfold every day.
• 4:46
  I'm going to take something else in that might lead me down a
• 4:48
  different path to understanding further.
• 4:51
  And that's, that's the real essence of how my friends.
• 4:56
  So when you go back to the quote from Rumi and you really think
• 5:01
  about it and, and whether it's a real quote or not, you know,
• 5:04
  like I said, I, I believe it is, but if it isn't, it's still a
• 5:07
  great quote. As you start to walk on the way,
• 5:10
  the way appears. Listen to that.
• 5:12
  As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.
• 5:16
  Clarity doesn't come before action.
• 5:18
  It comes that I mean, it's just it's just one of those things.
• 5:21
  I mean, his direct quote. I believe in this is as you
• 5:25
  start to walk on the way it appears and that is exactly true
• 5:30
  you but that but that's because it comes with intention.
• 5:33
  It comes with a force. So remember that.
• 5:35
  Whatever you're working on, remember that.
• 5:38
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:40
  will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
