• 0:29
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, so it's pretty clear that after years and years of
• 0:33
  coaching people, you know, 45 thousand hours of coaching
• 0:36
  really does teach you a lot about things and you get a huge
• 0:39
  amount of experience under your belt.
• 0:41
  But one of the things that I have taken away from this,
• 0:45
  people will always ask me. Well, what do you think is the
• 0:48
  biggest cause for people to be stuck?
• 0:50
  Or, you know, not realize their dreams or to, you know, make
• 0:54
  something happen in their lives and when we boil it all down,
• 0:59
  there are a couple things but Of the largest contributors is
• 1:03
  confusion, and I genuinely mean that, you know, there's a saying
• 1:07
  in marketing that confused people, don't buy well, there's
• 1:11
  nothing that's more accurate than that.
• 1:14
  Nothing more accurate than that. Yesterday, I was at Costco.
• 1:17
  With my husband, we were walking through looking for Camp Chef
• 1:20
  stove, and he happened to spy. This little tiny pizza oven, and
• 1:27
  it was packaged nicely, and although it looked so awful,
• 1:30
  Awesome. And it was stainless steel and
• 1:32
  it said it was dual-fuel. So I knew he was going to like,
• 1:36
  like something like that, and I run and get him.
• 1:38
  And, like, Marc Marc, Marc. Come, look, them, come look.
• 1:40
  And he looks at it and he says to me as a man, would he looks
• 1:45
  at it? And he goes, well, this is, this
• 1:47
  is ridiculous. Look at the size of this thing.
• 1:49
  They say that you can make a wood fire in it.
• 1:52
  But I mean, how there's room for wood back there.
• 1:56
  There's room for Twigs. They're they're selling you
• 1:58
  something and I start looking at it.
• 2:00
  I'm like in the picture, it shows Flames, but it doesn't
• 2:04
  show like that. There's actually would back
• 2:07
  there and he's saying, yeah, they're telling you, it's dual
• 2:09
  fuel. But this and this and this and
• 2:10
  then it's also it doesn't come with the, the gas portion of it.
• 2:14
  And the box, says one thing. But the display says another and
• 2:18
  so instantaneously, I find myself backing away from this
• 2:22
  purchase that I was so excited about three minutes before that
• 2:27
  because I felt this level of confusion I was like Wait, what?
• 2:32
  Are you sure. And start looking looking
• 2:35
  looking. And then I was like, oh well
• 2:36
  forget it. And I walked away.
• 2:38
  So they ended up losing a sale because I couldn't be clearer
• 2:44
  about it. I couldn't see the pictures.
• 2:47
  Now, maybe they did that deception wise because if he
• 2:49
  hadn't been there, let me be very clear about this.
• 2:52
  If he hadn't been there, I probably would have brought it
• 2:55
  home. I probably would have brought it
• 2:57
  home. I would have said, okay, yep,
• 2:59
  let's give it a try. And that he would have Let's
• 3:01
  return it because that happens. And it happens often because I
• 3:05
  get excited and I see something, or I get an idea.
• 3:09
  And then before, you know it, here we go.
• 3:11
  And I have to have more clarity on things.
• 3:15
  Once I have that, boom, it's going back.
• 3:18
  So the point is this, this idea of confusion stops you from
• 3:24
  buying things it stops you from doing things it stops you from
• 3:28
  moving forward. It'll, that's when You feel
• 3:31
  like, you know, you have to pull back.
• 3:32
  Now, I will say this, when one is confused, is it good to stop
• 3:38
  often? Yes, it's very good to stop
• 3:40
  because once you stop you can gain Clarity, you can get some
• 3:42
  vision for it. So, you know, you can, you give
• 3:46
  yourself the grace, you know, we have this whole bunch of old
• 3:50
  metal fencing. That my neighbor gave us and I
• 3:53
  said, oh, we can turn that into a jungle gym for the chickens.
• 3:58
  And they'll be so excited about it because they'll be able to
• 4:00
  Climb up on it and they'll be able to do everything and it
• 4:03
  will be so much fun and for, I don't know, a good two weeks,
• 4:07
  three weeks. I sat there thought about it,
• 4:10
  sketched out the pieces thought about how I could put them
• 4:12
  together because I was still confused about how I would do
• 4:16
  it. How would I hold these things
• 4:17
  together that were random and didn't come with any
• 4:20
  attachments? And then, of course, boom.
• 4:23
  After the contemplating, the confusion and what I wanted zip
• 4:28
  ties came into my head and I was like, oh, I could you zip ties.
• 4:30
  Eyes. And yep, I did it.
• 4:33
  I zip tie the whole thing together and now I just have to
• 4:37
  paint it, but I'm testing it to see who's using it and what
• 4:40
  else? I need to add because there's
• 4:41
  some thinner posts. Maybe I'll add someone to it
• 4:44
  still playing with a little bit. So but the point is confusion
• 4:49
  isn't always a bad thing confusion.
• 4:52
  Just like anything else. The Duality of it is.
• 4:55
  Yes, confusion. Is there to help us and then
• 4:58
  we're confused. We can stop Pause and collect
• 5:02
  our thoughts. Collect our Direction in the
• 5:04
  move into it. So, when you think of confusion,
• 5:07
  most people think, oh well being confused is terrible.
• 5:11
  No being confused as part of the process and it's important to
• 5:14
  always remember that. But it's a tool you're not meant
• 5:17
  to stay there. You're meant to Traverse through
• 5:20
  confusion. So think about where you are
• 5:25
  feeling that you're confused in your life, I can tell you right
• 5:28
  now, it is a regular process for me.
• 5:30
  I've been confused about what to do with a new website that we're
• 5:33
  getting ready to launch. I've been confused about
• 5:36
  messaging that I want to add. I've been working on all of it.
• 5:40
  I have been deep in the weeds and instead of just sitting
• 5:43
  there and saying I'm confused about what I want to say, or I'm
• 5:46
  confused about what direction I want to take.
• 5:48
  I stopped and I pause and I say, let me write down all of the
• 5:51
  possibilities, and then compare them all and see which ones I
• 5:55
  like and that helps. Because remember I confused
• 6:00
  Buyer does not buy and that rule applies to us as humans.
• 6:06
  A confused person does not take action.
• 6:09
  A confused person does not move forward.
• 6:11
  A confused person does not whether you when you stay in
• 6:15
  confusion. Now, in those, even in those
• 6:17
  moments, you're not going to make a choice in those moments.
• 6:19
  You're going to feel the pain of being confused and you're going
• 6:21
  to pause. So remember confusion is a tool
• 6:25
  to be used, not to torture. You if you're staying in
• 6:28
  confusion too long then that's where you need.
• 6:31
  So work on that piece, figure out where your points of
• 6:34
  confusion are right now and ask yourself.
• 6:37
  Okay? What is confusing me?
• 6:39
  What's the part of it? And really sit down and
• 6:41
  contemplate at what and ask yourself the very important
• 6:44
  question. What's another way to think of
• 6:47
  this? Because when you ask that you
• 6:49
  trigger your brain to actually do that command, all right, my
• 6:53
  friends, I will see you tomorrow and I hope you have a blessed
• 6:55
  day. Bye.
