  Hey. Everybody, welcome to the Good
• 0:03
  Morning from the Chicken Coop podcast.
• 0:05
  My name is Kim Johnson and I am a mastermindset, coach, creative
• 0:08
  strategist, and also happen to be a farmer.
• 0:11
  This is my Chicken coop and I come out here.
• 0:13
  Every day to record a podcast. To teach distinctions,
• 0:17
  possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring some.
• 0:20
  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 from the rainy chicken coop again on
• 0:30
  the weekend raining. And I would sit there normally
• 0:33
  and have this like, oh man. And I would get all upset.
• 0:37
  But since we are talking today about this exact thing for this
• 0:42
  exact reason, it's like, what else could it mean?
• 0:44
  What else could the rain mean? So clearly we don't need rain
• 0:48
  because we got 10 inches of rain last weekend and our whole yard
• 0:51
  was completely flooded, as was the neighbors and everybody
• 0:54
  elses. Our pond grew to this enormous
• 0:57
  size. 10 inches of rain in one day does not mean that we need
• 1:01
  rain. However, I'm sitting here and
• 1:04
  I'm looking and I'm going, OK, well, what else could it mean?
• 1:06
  What else could the rain mean today?
• 1:08
  Could it mean it's going to they hopefully it's not going to be
• 1:10
  all day, The weather man saying it's just going to be showers.
• 1:13
  So I looked at that and I said, OK, I'm not going to get myself
• 1:17
  like another weekend, not going to the beach another weekend,
• 1:20
  not doing something outside because of the weather, whether
• 1:23
  it's too hot or too rainy or whatever.
• 1:26
  And I what else could it mean? And for me, this meant, OK,
• 1:31
  maybe this is time to just slow down a little bit and say there
• 1:35
  are a few things that I've been wanting to teach myself using
• 1:39
  apps on on my computer that I have not used.
• 1:43
  And I like, I'm not a cap cut person, but I want to be a cap
• 1:47
  cut person. So I sat there and I thought
• 1:49
  about it and I said, well, what else could this mean?
• 1:50
  Oh, there's time. OK, well, there's time for what?
• 1:53
  There's time to look at the things that you want to do.
• 1:55
  Now I've got a couple of courses that I have to take some study
• 2:00
  time with anyway. And coming into September,
• 2:04
  that's when I usually load up my study time because it's going
• 2:09
  back to school and I'm wired for that.
• 2:11
  So I'm like, OK, I'm going to hit the hit the books on that
• 2:14
  stuff. However, this is one that kind
• 2:17
  of got thrown into the mix. Like how come I can't just do
• 2:20
  something on my own? How come I have to have somebody
• 2:23
  help me? And there's, there's something
• 2:25
  to be said for that mindset of, yes, you should leverage
• 2:29
  whenever you can to buy back your time.
• 2:33
  However, there are times when you're trying to do things that
• 2:36
  are creative and you can't do them if you leverage creativity.
• 2:41
  Like if that makes sense, Like I can get brainstorm with my
• 2:44
  friends. I can do certain things, I can
• 2:47
  sit with my coach and we can come up with all kinds of ideas.
• 2:50
  And yes, he can help me with lots of different things, but at
• 2:54
  some point, if I have a vision in my head and I have to get it
• 2:59
  out, I have to be the one that sits there and tries to get it
• 3:02
  out and tell the story of it, get it out so that they can see
• 3:05
  it. Just like when we were building
• 3:06
  out the farm, I had a vision for the house.
• 3:08
  I'm not an architect by any stretch of the means, and I
• 3:12
  wanted something simple and clean and classic.
• 3:15
  So I had to sit there and figure out how was I going to get that
• 3:18
  out of my head. And I kept looking at all these
• 3:21
  other plans I was cutting and pasting.
• 3:23
  I looked like a lunatic having all these cut and paste
• 3:26
  situations. And then I finally came up with
• 3:28
  something based on a combination of the sketch I did on a napkin
• 3:33
  originally, then a floor plan that I saw online that I cut up,
• 3:37
  pasted with three other floor plans.
• 3:39
  Then I pasted all the different outside looks that I had
• 3:43
  together. So I had a very clear
• 3:45
  understanding of what was in my head that I could share with the
• 3:49
  architect and which he was like, wow, OK, this is a big, huge
• 3:52
  help because now my vision transferred to his.
• 3:56
  So at some point we all have to take this responsibility and go,
• 3:59
  OK, let me just suck it up and do it.
• 4:01
  So that's what I have to do because there is sometimes when
• 4:04
  I, I want to shoot a video and I, I see what I want in my head
• 4:08
  and I can't necessarily translate that over and explain
• 4:12
  it well. So why shouldn't I have the
• 4:14
  skill? If I want to do it, I don't have
• 4:16
  to do it. I have AI have a person who does
• 4:18
  this for me. So it's not about being like,
• 4:22
  you know, oh, I'm doing it all by myself.
• 4:24
  It's about staying true to the vision and really kind of honing
• 4:27
  in on it. And sometimes that's hard
• 4:30
  because when you're a creative person, you see something a
• 4:32
  certain way. Like, nobody could have
• 4:34
  understood what I was talking about when I wanted a chicken
• 4:36
  coop with a tiled floor and, you know, all these accoutrements
• 4:41
  that I put in here for them. But guess what?
• 4:44
  And that vision keeps taking shape over time.
• 4:47
  And I have to keep doing it and doing it and doing it because if
• 4:50
  I don't do it, it's really hard. I mean, sure, I wanted these
• 4:54
  yellow boxes on the wall. I had to explain to my husband
• 4:57
  what they were. He built the boxes.
• 4:59
  I put them on the wall. He couldn't see it.
• 5:01
  He still doesn't see it. But I have yet to paint the
• 5:03
  mural because the the heat came in and I couldn't paint.
• 5:06
  So when we come into the fall, I will have time to be able to
• 5:09
  paint the mural. And then he'll be able to say,
• 5:11
  ah, OK, now I see the vision. But this is all about that.
• 5:14
  It's like sometimes you just have to pull back those reins
• 5:17
  and say, hey, stop, learn it yourself.
• 5:21
  Put it in place and say, OK, what else could this mean?
• 5:25
  I need to step in and do it. And I'm going to do it so I'm
• 5:28
  clear on my outcome. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:31
  you have a blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 5:33
  Bye.
