• 0:23
  chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, so what do you do when you're in the middle of a
• 0:33
  project? Or at the end of a project?
• 0:35
  I should say not the middle to the end and you realize your
• 0:41
  plan is not going to come in when you thought it was going
• 0:45
  to. And there's a little bit of a
• 0:47
  shift and you have to make a decision.
• 0:50
  That's a difficult decision. Well, I'm telling you this
• 0:53
  because this is happening real time in my life and I thought it
• 0:56
  would be an interesting thing to share with everybody because
• 0:59
  this has been Like the process. So we are in the middle of
• 1:04
  working in our garage and creating a recording studio for
• 1:08
  classes. And we knew that this was going
• 1:12
  to be a little bit of a longer process to do this little bit of
• 1:15
  a renovation here, planned on, having it done.
• 1:19
  Started the process in January planned on having it done and to
• 1:22
  March and one thing after another just kind of kept
• 1:27
  happening not necessarily on our end but on the End of supply
• 1:31
  chain, couldn't get doors, couldn't get the windows that
• 1:36
  matched had to wait and things that match the house had to
• 1:40
  wait, to have certain things shipped in couldn't get on the
• 1:46
  schedule with the contractor. Contractor is the most talented
• 1:51
  guy. Very blessed to have him but he
• 1:54
  is in high demand and you have to share him and then he hurts
• 1:59
  himself. Gets his hand hurt, couldn't
• 2:03
  find. He had subcontract just coming
• 2:06
  in to do certain things. They had delays, it was just one
• 2:10
  thing after another. So during this process obviously
• 2:14
  someone who's doing this every day for everybody else myself.
• 2:20
  I have to learn to control myself because I am possibly one
• 2:24
  of the most impatient people on the planet.
• 2:27
  And I have a very, very, very I don't want to say difficult time
• 2:33
  doing that, but I definitely have a time doing that.
• 2:36
  So here I am working on this. Going through this process
• 2:40
  trying, very hard to be patient with myself and again that's
• 2:45
  never something that I do easily being patient with myself that I
• 2:48
  realized, okay? It's not just about me.
• 2:50
  It's about the process of this and I have been and I let it go
• 2:53
  and I let it go. And, you know, everything was
• 2:56
  coming down to the wire and it is coming down to the wire and
• 3:00
  we get to putting the Or down which is this really cool thing.
• 3:05
  Idea that I came up with not something he had done before and
• 3:10
  he was experimenting with it and he put the first coat down and
• 3:14
  it looked great in this and they did the finishing coat and we
• 3:16
  were like, okay, it looks great but it doesn't look like the
• 3:21
  exact way. We thought it was going to look.
• 3:24
  So in the process of this, like, okay, well, I could let it go.
• 3:29
  I could just say, hey, you know what?
• 3:31
  This Is totally fine. I could completely do that and I
• 3:35
  could just leave it there. But in my gut, in my heart, I
• 3:38
  knew there was just a little bit more that I wanted.
• 3:42
  And I had to make this decision about.
• 3:44
  Okay, do I do I push it forward, do I go ahead and push it
• 3:48
  forward? Do I say to myself?
• 3:50
  Okay, like let's just take that extra week.
• 3:54
  Take the last step order another top coat and put in more of the
• 3:58
  solution of these because the floor is sparkled, I should have
• 4:01
  said that the Floors and putting sparkles on the floor and the
• 4:04
  first round is boggles looks great, but it's just not quite
• 4:07
  as intense as I anticipated. It would be.
• 4:11
  So it would need another round and of course, that cost more
• 4:15
  money. Of course, it costs more time.
• 4:18
  And I had to sit there and think about it and, you know, I'm
• 4:22
  sitting there, mulling it over, mulling it over, mulling it
• 4:25
  over, and I'm not in my coaching brain.
• 4:27
  I'm in my human brain. Now, I'm just being Kim.
• 4:30
  And I'm standing in the space and my husband walks in and he
• 4:35
  says, to me, well, you've come this far.
• 4:38
  Why would you stop now? That's not like you and the
• 4:42
  second. He said, it hit me in the back
• 4:44
  of the head, like a bat. And I went, yeah, you're right.
• 4:47
  He's like so what if it's another week, so what, you know
• 4:51
  what, you've waited this long, you might as well, wait to get
• 4:55
  it and have it feel amazing? And I was like, yeah, he's
• 4:59
  right. So That's what happened.
• 5:02
  But the point is and why I'm telling you, this is you have to
• 5:07
  recognize sometimes even in your humanness you have to really,
• 5:11
  push yourself to say. Okay, what do I really want is
• 5:15
  my goal in? Am I willing to just do that
• 5:17
  little bit extra just that little bit extra to go from good
• 5:20
  to Great to outstanding and it's a very small difference between
• 5:24
  those spaces and you know what? It's worth every bit of it.
• 5:27
  So I hope you guys have a very blessed day.
• 5:30
  I hope this Helpful. And I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:34
  Bye. Helpful.
• 5:31
  And I will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
