• 0:22
  Along with all her chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:29
  Good morning from the chicken. Coupe.
• 0:31
  So this morning we are talking about tackling big projects.
• 0:35
  I've been working on this a lot myself because we have a major
• 0:39
  project going on. We have a couple of them
• 0:41
  actually happening over here on the farm and one of them is
• 0:45
  getting the girls a new Coupe before January so that we can
• 0:52
  start doing some surprise stuff out there for all of you from
• 0:56
  The Coop. But it requires us to have a
• 0:59
  little bit different of a space. So that you know well I'm not
• 1:03
  going to blow it, you'll see it when it happens.
• 1:05
  Anyway there's a lot of work to be done and often times when you
• 1:11
  have a major project that you want to work on the first thing
• 1:14
  that happens is overwhelm. And this this really comes in
• 1:18
  degrees because if it's something that you want to work
• 1:20
  on you probably are excited about it.
• 1:22
  Like I'm excited about doing this although it does seem
• 1:25
  overwhelming and somewhat daunting sometimes to take on
• 1:30
  major. Looks like this if you don't
• 1:32
  want to do them and they're being put upon you by other
• 1:34
  people IE work or spouses Partners, whatever it might be,
• 1:40
  then oftentimes it feels even more difficult to tackle it
• 1:45
  because you don't want to do it and you're just like uh this is
• 1:48
  the last thing I feel like doing.
• 1:50
  So how do you take on a major project and feel good about it
• 1:55
  and get through it? And I have a lot of clients
• 1:57
  right now have to take on this. Idea of getting out there and
• 2:02
  marketing themselves and to them, this is absolutely
• 2:05
  daunting. They don't want to do it, they
• 2:07
  know they need to and they are excellent at working in their
• 2:10
  business but not on their business.
• 2:11
  So this is a major chunk that they have to tackle and it's
• 2:16
  always the same thing when we talk about it, I know I need to
• 2:19
  but I haven't, I don't know why it feels so overwhelming.
• 2:23
  And every time the story is the same.
• 2:26
  So today we're going to talk about how to break it down.
• 2:30
  The first thing you have to do is recognize that one, you
• 2:33
  either are excited to do it and you have something to look
• 2:36
  forward to or to, you still have to do it because it's part of
• 2:39
  the requirements, it's part of how you want to, you know,
• 2:43
  further yourself, grow your business, whatever it might be,
• 2:46
  but you have to cognitively make the distinction of saying am I
• 2:49
  willing to not have the outcome? So you boil the ocean down.
• 2:55
  In other words, if I'm sitting here and I'm saying to you, I'm
• 2:58
  tackling a major project because it's Something that I want to do
• 3:01
  on the other side with the chickens and the coupe, then I
• 3:06
  have to sit there and say, okay, guess what?
• 3:09
  If I want that outcome, I have to put the effort in.
• 3:12
  And you have heard me say this before outcome, without effort
• 3:17
  doesn't work. You have to invest in the effort
• 3:21
  to do what you have to and it's always worth it when you do it.
• 3:24
  It's always worth it. When you put yourself into a
• 3:27
  position of doing it, secondarily you.
• 3:30
  And Lucy this morning, she's over here being a big mouth.
• 3:32
  Secondarily, it's recognizing that, all good things come
• 3:38
  together. When you put this forward and
• 3:42
  you're excited, it makes it a little bit easier.
• 3:45
  So, even if you did something, you don't want to do like the
• 3:47
  marketing for yourself, but you do want that outcome, Focus your
• 3:51
  energy on the outcome Focus, the energy on thinking about how
• 3:54
  it's going to feel when it's done and then put yourself as if
• 3:58
  it has already happened. So So grateful that this has
• 4:01
  taken place, whatever it is all day.
• 4:04
  While I've spent my entire day, you know, I'm actually my entire
• 4:08
  weekend, I spent my entire weekend working on this project
• 4:11
  so I can tell you that it is a very satisfying yet exhausting
• 4:20
  thing to do. So I just keep focusing on the
• 4:23
  fact that it's going to be fabulous.
• 4:25
  I was going to be so much fun art already is fun and I keep
• 4:28
  finding fun things about And not making it work.
• 4:32
  So you've got to pull yourself into that head space.
• 4:35
  And then the next step is really chunking it down into small
• 4:39
  digestible, bites, and celebrating.
• 4:40
  When you just get one of them done, you've got to break it
• 4:43
  down into small digestible chunks.
• 4:46
  If they feel like you're going to choke on them, when you're
• 4:49
  doing them, you'll hold back and you won't do them.
• 4:51
  And you've got to celebrate each one of them.
• 4:53
  I don't care if it's by simply high-fiving yourself.
• 4:55
  I don't care what it is. I mean for me I'm always that
• 4:59
  way. I'm like all right, yeah.
• 5:00
  Yeah, and I'll get up, and I'll be like, doing a little dance,
• 5:03
  Happy sit back down, and for sure that's going in my list of
• 5:07
  accomplishments for the day. And no doubt, I will be giving
• 5:10
  myself a sticker. So, yes.
• 5:12
  And for those of you who don't know that, or you might be new,
• 5:15
  and haven't heard that. I write everything down that I
• 5:17
  accomplished that I could say, is a win.
• 5:19
  And that's as simple as laundry doing dishes, whatever it might
• 5:24
  be all the way up to something complicated.
• 5:28
  I celebrate it all each step of the way and To when I feel like
• 5:31
  giving myself a great stickers, I do when I feel like giving
• 5:34
  myself simple stickers, I do. But every day, there are
• 5:37
  stickers in my book because I think you deserve stickers, I
• 5:41
  loved him as a kid and I keep the tradition going as an adult.
• 5:45
  So I'm not saying you have to do that but find ways to Simply
• 5:49
  celebrate those incremental tiny wins and that's the basics for
• 5:56
  breaking down the process of big thing.
• 5:58
  So hopefully you'll tackle this And you'll do it with a little
• 6:01
  smile on your face, and you'll know you're in a celebrate along
• 6:04
  the way. I hope you guys have a blessed
• 6:06
  day and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
