  You hear all those little babies in the background.
• 0:32
  They're getting so big. I've been posting some things up
• 0:37
  and if you guys are interested, we now have a good morning from
• 0:41
  the chicken coop, YouTube channel.
• 0:43
  So you can just go over to YouTube and putting good morning
• 0:46
  from the chicken coop, and you will be able to see the babies
• 0:48
  and we've got videos are up there.
• 0:49
  Flying my daughter, Madison's been helped me out, so it's it's
• 0:52
  pretty cool. They're getting big.
• 0:54
  So I wanted to just share that with you all today and have you
• 0:56
  go look first time, I'm making the announcement about it.
• 1:01
  Today, we are talking about pruning.
• 1:04
  Now, you might be saying, why are we having a gardening
• 1:06
  lesson? But this is not about gardening
• 1:09
  per se. This is about ourselves.
• 1:11
  So pruning in general, most people understand it when it
• 1:15
  comes to trees, if a tree is disease, you prune it, you cut
• 1:18
  something away, plants you prune your plants back, you cut them
• 1:21
  back and reshape them. My husband does Banzai.
• 1:24
  So that's a whole different art form of being creative with
• 1:28
  pruning and training. Training the tree to do things.
• 1:32
  And I want to give you a different concept on it today,
• 1:36
  just because I spent a little bit of time yesterday afternoon
• 1:40
  working on my vegetable garden and I'm obviously a little
• 1:45
  obsessive. I have a 50 by 50 garden and I
• 1:49
  grow all kinds of cool vegetables and I'll do canning
• 1:52
  and everything with them, but so it's a lot of peppers.
• 1:54
  I'm growing. And one of the things that I
• 1:56
  learned years ago about Peppers was that when you plant them, If
• 2:01
  you just let it go and you you know, don't do any pruning to
• 2:05
  the pepper. You'll have like maybe a 12 inch
• 2:08
  tall plant and it will start having the flowers and you'll
• 2:11
  end up with peppers in the plant is very tiny and the peppers
• 2:14
  seem to wait over and it's very hard for the plant to produce.
• 2:19
  Now, if you go buy a pepper plant in a store and you get one
• 2:23
  in a bigger pot, that one has actually been pruned, you don't
• 2:27
  realize it. But what's happened is some has
• 2:29
  gone in and pull Old off all the peppers and it's a signal to the
• 2:33
  plant that says please don't flower, I want you to get
• 2:36
  bigger, you're not ready to produce the fruit.
• 2:38
  Want you to get bigger. And as I was doing this little
• 2:42
  action yesterday, I thought, gosh, this is such a thing that
• 2:45
  I do with my clients and that we work on regularly as we
• 2:49
  constantly have to prune things and put ourselves in the best
• 2:55
  position we can to grow the outcome.
• 2:58
  But if you're not willing to look at, At removing the flower,
• 3:03
  which can be scary sometimes to have to remove something.
• 3:06
  If you start it starts happening and you're like, oh gosh, you
• 3:09
  know, I really want this to happen but I'm not ready or I
• 3:13
  don't have the right team in place or I don't have the right
• 3:15
  resources in place. Sometimes you have to say you
• 3:18
  know what, I have to hold back or I have to not make that
• 3:20
  announcement. So you know there was a reason
• 3:23
  why I chose this subject today for the podcast when I talked
• 3:27
  about the YouTube channel because Because YouTube
• 3:31
  channels, been up for gosh, probably like six months, seven
• 3:35
  months. And I have not told anybody
• 3:38
  about it, my daughter and I have just been working diligently to
• 3:41
  put things up. Now, when you get there, there's
• 3:44
  organic things that people have just found it.
• 3:46
  I don't even know how because we've never made the
• 3:48
  announcement to anybody. But what's funny about it is I
• 3:52
  was pruning back talking about that outcome until I could
• 3:55
  populate it just like I did with the podcast.
• 3:58
  I didn't tell anybody about it until I A whole bunch of them up
• 4:02
  till I had 30 days of them done. And I said to everybody.
• 4:04
  Okay, now they're done and we're so anxious to always, just get
• 4:08
  to the outcome, get to the fruit, get to the end result
• 4:11
  that we don't stop ourselves and say, hey you know what?
• 4:13
  I can't. I'm not ready for that yet.
• 4:16
  And is it hard? Yes.
• 4:17
  Has it been hard? Well, I was inconsistent with
• 4:20
  making videos. They still am and I'm still not
• 4:22
  in the habit of doing it, so I waited, waited waited, waited
• 4:25
  waited. But then I thought, you know
• 4:26
  what, baby chicks are here, this is a great time for me to talk
• 4:30
  about it. My daughter's been haunting me
• 4:31
  to do it. Okay, I'm going to go out and
• 4:33
  pull the trigger and say Here's the fruit of the labor.
• 4:37
  So I want you to really think about this because sometimes we
• 4:40
  get so hung up on certain aspects of things that we miss
• 4:44
  that we need to prune back stuff and we need to hold our tongue.
• 4:47
  We need to wait. Need to look for the right
• 4:49
  person. The partner.
• 4:49
  The place is the things that we need and before you rush to
• 4:54
  throw yourself out there, you have to stop and go.
• 4:57
  Okay, is this premature like I never Announce that I'm writing
• 5:01
  a new book. I just show up with a done
• 5:04
  product and I wait and it feels great because I haven't told
• 5:09
  anybody what I'm doing. Now, some people interpret that
• 5:12
  as me being we're private, not necessarily true.
• 5:16
  Those that are close know what I'm doing.
• 5:19
  I don't need to have everybody else know though, I can pull
• 5:22
  back prune that away, make sure I'm on task.
• 5:25
  So look at what has to be pruned.
• 5:27
  Ask yourself that very specific question, where do I Need to cut
• 5:31
  something off. In order to make myself,
• 5:33
  stronger taller thicker better and get a really, really
• 5:38
  beautiful outcome. All right, my friends.
• 5:40
  I hope you have a blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 5:42
  Bye. Need to cut something off.
• 5:32
  In order to make myself, stronger taller thicker better
• 5:36
  and get a really, really beautiful outcome.
• 5:39
  All right, my friends. I hope you have a blessed day
• 5:41
  and I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
