0:27
Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
0:29
coop. So let's talk about doing things
0:32
differently. You know, remember Apple had a
0:35
whole thing based on doing things differently and that was
0:39
their breakout time when they just decided we're going to be
0:42
different, we're going to do things differently.
0:44
Well, sometimes, most of the time, human beings love to do
0:48
the same things over and over and over.
0:50
We don't do a good job shifting ourselves.
0:53
We don't do a good job with change, and we kind of get stuck
0:56
in that. We kind of have a challenge when
0:58
it comes to shifting and changing because we look so much
1:01
for certainty and we look so much for the world that we know.
1:05
We're always looking for the world that we know, but in order
1:09
to create the life you truly want, it always requires dealing
1:14
with change. I mean, change is never ending.
1:16
It's the greatest lesson that the farm teaches me is that
1:20
nothing is ever the same. Everyday is different.
1:23
There's always something and you just have to let go and learn
1:26
from it. You have to experience it.
1:28
You have to change your mind around shifting the the world
1:33
outside shifts constantly and you have to shift your mind
1:35
around it as well. And which brought me to the
1:39
conclusion of saying, OK, we need to talk about this whole
1:42
thing about being different this year.
1:44
How do you want to be different this year?
1:46
How do you want your business to be different this year?
1:48
How do you want to show up for yourself differently this year?
1:53
Where are those pockets of things that you know you you
1:58
would love to incorporate, you would love to be different, and
2:01
then start to lay out situational plans or ideas or
2:05
focuses that will help you do that.
2:08
So you guys may have heard me talk about this new little app
2:12
headway that I love so much. And no, I'm not getting paid for
2:15
promoting it. I just love it.
2:16
So I'm talking about it. But this little, this little
2:19
app, and there are many of them out there that do these
2:21
summaries, books, but I'm always, my identity is always
2:26
that of a learner and I really wanted to incorporate more
2:30
learning this year. So headway was a way that I'm
2:33
doing it. Also, you know, I had said last
2:35
year that I really wanted to do more cooking and I did probably
2:40
no cooking because that was one of my mid range goals.
2:44
I'm like I don't know about this, I'm just not really great
2:47
at it. So I actually this year had
2:50
rated it much higher because I'm using it as a way to talk and
2:54
connect to my husband because my husband's the one that cooks, my
2:57
husband is outstanding chef and why?
3:01
Why should I mess with what's good?
3:03
He just I say something, he makes it.
3:05
It's it's awesome. So I figured, OK, this is a
3:09
great way for me to tie two things together.
3:11
If I want to spend time with him, that's good, valuable time
3:15
where we can have fun and connect, Maybe I should enter
3:19
into that part of his world. So I said to him, I would like
3:23
us to cook one meal a week together, putting myself outside
3:28
my comfort zone of knowing that and I and this was the key to my
3:31
fun thing, I'm doing something differently here.
3:33
I don't want to be the person that figures it out.
3:36
I just want you to tell me what to do.
3:38
And he was like, what Are you sure you want me to tell you?
3:42
And I was like, yeah, yeah, I just want to be the sous chef.
3:45
I don't want to be the chef. I want to be the sous chef.
3:47
You tell me to do something, I'll do it.
3:49
I just want to do this to spend time with you.
3:52
And I watched how much it touched him.
3:55
And we're starting. In fact, it's funny because
3:59
we're starting that process this week.
4:02
Now that I am physically feeling better and it's like, I'm
4:06
excited about it. I'm actually excited about it
4:08
because I decided to do things differently.
4:11
I decided to do me differently. I decided to not be afraid of
4:14
the kitchen. I can bake certain things and I
4:18
can make great pancakes and I can.
4:21
I can make killer pancakes. But other things are just not
4:25
have never been my Forte. I grow stuff I and and then he
4:28
turns it into awesome stuff. But I really am committed to
4:31
doing some different things and doing me differently and doing
4:35
my mind around this differently. My mindset, my thoughts, my
4:39
emotions, everything. So what are you committed this
4:43
year to doing differently? What do you want to do for your
4:45
business differently? You know, I my, I added
4:49
something for my private clients this year as a surprise, and I'm
4:53
doing something for them every month on a call.
4:55
I've not done that before and I was just like, OK, I'm committed
4:58
asking myself what what can I do differently?
5:00
How can I do this all differently?
5:02
And that just the mere fact that you're asking the question will
5:07
shift something. So get out there.
5:09
Ask yourself that question and you'll be surprised at what you
5:13
come up with. All right, my friends, I hope
5:15
you have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
5:18
Bye.
