  chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Today, I want to talk to you about one of my most favorite
• 0:33
  subjects being early. I am the girl who loves to be
• 0:37
  early and I'm talking like in general for everything, I'm
• 0:43
  probably at least average things, 10 minutes, 15 minutes
• 0:47
  early, just to make sure I'm on time, airports.
• 0:50
  Oh gosh, real early. Yeah, that's a crazy thing for
• 0:54
  me. Love to be to the airport early,
• 0:57
  but one of my most favorite things is to feel Like I'm
• 1:01
  organized way before. Things are happening in since we
• 1:04
  are now in the last final week of October flask full final week
• 1:08
  of October. What I want to talk to you guys
• 1:10
  about is getting ready for the holidays because in my field we
• 1:15
  start to see people stressing out right about now.
• 1:19
  Where it's like, oh, it's the last quarter.
• 1:21
  I've got to get so much done. I've got to finish up any of the
• 1:25
  stuff for work that I had to do goals.
• 1:27
  Were I'm off. Things were pressure.
• 1:30
  It's to really push in because, you know, you've got just a
• 1:33
  finite amount of time left in the year and you don't want to
• 1:36
  mix, you know. Allow yourself to go, too far
• 1:39
  off and miss those targets, and then you've got the holiday part
• 1:43
  of your family and everything coming up where you're going to
• 1:46
  have, you know, fewer days to work, fewer days to focus on
• 1:49
  things. You've got to take care of
• 1:50
  whatever holiday it is that you observe getting ready, gifts if
• 1:55
  that's involved dealing with family.
• 1:59
  And if you have none of the A above and you were just by
• 2:01
  yourself, you have to figure out.
• 2:03
  Okay, well what am I want to do for me right now?
• 2:05
  What do I want to do is going to make me feel good and sometimes
• 2:08
  just that pressure alone because I do have a few clients like
• 2:11
  that and they're just that pressure alone makes them feel
• 2:13
  like ah, I don't know what I'm going to do.
• 2:16
  So I always like to start this time of the year off early
• 2:21
  obviously because I'm an early girl but I like people to at
• 2:24
  least start thinking about it because it's really going to
• 2:26
  help put you into a place of being proactive and Reactive.
• 2:31
  Because as soon as we start to be reactive, it's never good.
• 2:35
  Because remember when emotions? Go up intelligence goes down and
• 2:38
  as soon as intelligence goes down, well, it's just not so
• 2:42
  great right from that moment forward.
• 2:44
  So what's super, super helpful is if you start thinking about
• 2:50
  what do I want to accomplish in these next roughly, eight weeks
• 2:55
  of the Year nine weeks of the year that we have left and isn't
• 2:59
  that crazy? That it's only that short period
• 3:02
  of time left. All of November, get the last
• 3:04
  you know week of October and then we've got the November and
• 3:08
  December and we're looking at roughly nine weeks in that.
• 3:12
  Wow so fast and in that nine weeks, what do you want to
• 3:16
  accomplish? Well I can tell you for sure.
• 3:19
  I am working on my website and that is one of these things that
• 3:22
  I have so many pictures that I want to put up for all of you to
• 3:26
  look at of the chickens and stuff at the farm and videos.
• 3:30
  I Finishing up a YouTube channel and that is taking up a great
• 3:37
  deal of my concentration shooting, but I have to go and
• 3:41
  put them all up. So many little things that have
• 3:43
  to be done business-wise. Just stuff that's like, you
• 3:47
  know, the clean up stuff. Also the girls are getting a new
• 3:52
  chicken coop, which is going to be kind of cool and really
• 3:56
  redesigned it to be better for them, and that will be arriving.
• 4:00
  So, Lots of cool things are happening and then comes don't
• 4:04
  don't gone the holiday portion. You know, I'm I am obsessed with
• 4:10
  loving the holidays. I always have my whole life and
• 4:14
  I always want to be able to you know, go do fun things create
• 4:19
  magic moments with my family and just you know pour into the time
• 4:23
  of year where you actually a supposed to connect.
• 4:26
  Even if you don't have a family just find people that you know
• 4:29
  need love and With them because this time of the year is all
• 4:32
  about love. So it on the personal side and I
• 4:36
  know for the business side, it's all about push, push push, push
• 4:39
  push, but I'm giving you a heads up ahead of time because as we
• 4:42
  get closer, I'm going to start working on all this.
• 4:44
  With, you talk goal-setting, do bunch of stuff, but right now I
• 4:47
  just want you guys to make a list and say okay, what can I
• 4:50
  take care of early? So give you a great example.
• 4:53
  I I made reservations to take my kids to see a show.
• 4:58
  I'd wanted to take them to see a show And it was something that
• 5:01
  was really important to me to find one and finally got, you
• 5:06
  know, going to go see A Christmas Carol and got the
• 5:11
  tickets ahead of time. So we got great seats at a
• 5:14
  discount saved. Money was perfect planning, a
• 5:17
  special day with them because that's important to my daughter.
• 5:20
  It's important to me. And my son will go a long way.
• 5:25
  He doesn't necessarily love seeing a show, he'll do it.
• 5:28
  And I think that that's just One of the things ahead of time.
• 5:32
  Also, it's a tradition in our family to start.
• 5:36
  You know, if you have traditions and you haven't started one like
• 5:39
  this, it's one of my favorite ones.
• 5:41
  That on Christmas Eve. We do a book exchange, so it's
• 5:44
  always stressful if you don't know what the other people in
• 5:47
  your life, like for books. So I've already started asking,
• 5:51
  hey, what do you know, what kind of books do you think in this
• 5:54
  year? You might like you have any
• 5:55
  ideas, what books you're looking at, you know, I we go to the
• 5:57
  bookstore and I look at what their get it looking at, but not
• 6:00
  Ting. So, important important
• 6:02
  important think about those things ahead of time because if
• 6:05
  you have to order them and you have to wait for stuff, you
• 6:08
  know, that's one of those things takes the stress off of you and
• 6:12
  this year since it's going to be such a busy year, as far as you
• 6:19
  know, they're talking about how shipping is going to take
• 6:21
  longer. And they're already telling us
• 6:22
  the drama that will ensue even though it hasn't I'm just like
• 6:26
  okay whatever I'm not going to take any chances getting stuff
• 6:29
  ahead of time. So simple, things like that can
• 6:32
  eliminate a ton of stress even if you start planning your
• 6:36
  recipes. Like, oh, that's another thing.
• 6:39
  I did, I ordered my turkey ahead of time, so I don't have to
• 6:42
  worry about the fact that, hey, there may be a turkey shortage,
• 6:44
  right? So, I just ordered one, got it
• 6:46
  ahead of time, you know, and hopefully all set with that.
• 6:50
  So, just start thinking about, what can you do to preemptively?
• 6:55
  Clean up the stress ahead of time.
• 6:57
  So and be early just be early and You will be so happy when
• 7:01
  you're early and if you're a late person and you're listening
• 7:03
  to this, there's no advantage to it because it just causes undue
• 7:07
  stress. So I'm telling you to try
• 7:09
  something new on. See how that works for you.
• 7:11
  All right, my friends. I will see you tomorrow morning.
• 7:14
  Hope you all have a wonderful blessed day.
• 7:16
  Bye.
