  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset coach, creative strategist, and also happened to
• 0:10
  be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
• 0:16
  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some 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. Let's talk about our our
• 0:32
  outcomes and how we want to wait and hold them back until they're
• 0:36
  polished. Now, if there's one thing that
• 0:39
  I'm certain of, it's that doing the videos on YouTube has been a
• 0:44
  challenge. And me getting used to shooting
• 0:46
  them, me getting used to doing them, it's all been an
• 0:49
  interesting little challenge. And it's taught me so much.
• 0:53
  My friends like so much about how you think you know what you
• 0:57
  want to do. And then you start off and you
• 0:59
  change it and you morph and you morph and you keep going through
• 1:03
  it and is it ever good enough? And how you change things and
• 1:06
  yadda, yadda yadda. And I could go on forever about
• 1:08
  this, especially with me being the person I am and the
• 1:11
  creativity and the how it it, it constantly knocks at my door.
• 1:16
  But there's one thing that I have learned over the past year
• 1:20
  of pushing to really refine what my company is doing and how I'm
• 1:24
  doing it. And that is that the Polish
• 1:28
  doesn't matter as much as doing the work.
• 1:32
  So when I sit and I wait and I think, oh, it has to be this or
• 1:35
  it has to be that, I continuously have to remind
• 1:39
  myself, Nope. It just has to be a good story.
• 1:42
  It just has to be a good, good outcome.
• 1:44
  And if it's a good outcome, then guess what?
• 1:47
  It's magical because then everybody wants to see it and
• 1:50
  hear it and, and find out about it.
• 1:52
  And it's interesting because you don't think that way.
• 1:55
  You think like, oh, it's going to have to be really, really,
• 1:57
  really like done the right way. It's going to have to be
• 2:00
  polished. It's going to need to be XY and
• 2:02
  Z. And the truth is none of that is
• 2:04
  true because especially now in this world of AI the way that it
• 2:09
  is, my friends, people are going to gravitate so much to the
• 2:15
  reality, the real stuff, not the AI stuff.
• 2:18
  I mean, the AI stuff is not going away.
• 2:20
  It's going to stick around, and we're going to have to all
• 2:23
  figure out how to navigate that as we see it.
• 2:26
  But I know from my own perspective, I don't want to
• 2:29
  watch that stuff. I want to watch stuff that's
• 2:31
  real. I want to see people without
• 2:34
  filters. I want to see people in that
• 2:36
  state of telling me the real stuff behind the scenes because
• 2:40
  no matter what happens with AI and the computers and all of
• 2:44
  that, we are going to still be human and we're still going to
• 2:48
  have to deal with ourselves and we're still going to need to
• 2:50
  know things and do things. So the reality is that it
• 2:55
  doesn't have to be polished. It has to be human.
• 2:58
  It has to be human. That that is the rule.
• 3:00
  It has to, you have to show your humanity.
• 3:03
  You have to show what's really going on for you.
• 3:05
  And in the process of doing that, something wonderful takes
• 3:09
  off and before you know it, you have a whole different aspect of
• 3:13
  yourself showing up. And you're not worried about
• 3:16
  looking a certain way or having the audio just right or
• 3:21
  everything else. It's just that you're doing what
• 3:24
  you're doing and you're sharing it.
• 3:25
  Sure. Should we try to do our best?
• 3:27
  Absolutely. Do I concur that we need to do
• 3:31
  that regularly? Yes, yes, and yes.
• 3:34
  And at the same time, I look at this and I say to myself, yeah,
• 3:39
  but I it's more important to get it out there.
• 3:41
  It's more important to do the right things and get it out
• 3:44
  there. Do the thing that you want to
• 3:46
  do, whatever it might be, the book, the, you know, the videos,
• 3:51
  I don't care. Whatever it is that you're
• 3:53
  working on creating, put it out there.
• 3:56
  And should you do the best job you can?
• 3:59
  Well, of course. But if you're waiting for it to
• 4:02
  be exceptional, if you're sitting there and you're using
• 4:05
  that as an excuse to hold it back, realize the Polish is not
• 4:10
  as important as you think it is as much as the real stuff.
• 4:13
  And you can always, you know, put it out there with the the
• 4:16
  caveat of saying, like Gary Vee says this all the time.
• 4:19
  He's like, if you're here and you're going to send me messages
• 4:22
  about punctuation, in my book, that's off or something in here,
• 4:26
  that's off. You're missing the freaking
• 4:27
  point. Although he swears when he says
• 4:29
  it, he's adamant about this. You're missing the point.
• 4:32
  You're supposed to be in there and you're supposed to be
• 4:34
  learning. And stop worrying about my
• 4:36
  punctuation. Stop worrying about my grammar.
• 4:39
  Just get the point of the book. And I have to say, I don't
• 4:44
  disagree with that. And do we do the best we can to
• 4:47
  catch everything? Yes.
• 4:48
  But we are human and we make mistakes and we have little
• 4:52
  proclivities that show up. So allow them to show up and let
• 4:56
  it show your humanity and let everyone understand.
• 4:59
  So I have videos that are sitting there that need to be
• 5:02
  put up and I find myself doing the same thing.
• 5:05
  Well, I want to edit this piece or well, I want to do this.
• 5:08
  And instead of doing that, why am I not just putting them up?
• 5:11
  Because I'm being stubborn because I should just put them
• 5:14
  up. Because I should just put them
• 5:16
  up. And that's what's going to start
• 5:17
  happening. And that's why I'm calling
• 5:19
  myself out here so that everyone knows it.
• 5:22
  So I hope you guys have a blessed day and I will see you
• 5:26
  all tomorrow. Bye.
