• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So the question of the day is what are you willing to do to
• 0:35
  help yourself? What are you willing to do to
• 0:38
  get yourself to the next level? What are you willing to do to
• 0:43
  put yourself at a spot that you can be proud of and happy?
• 0:48
  And the reason I'm asking this question is because often we
• 0:52
  want outcomes and we're not willing to do the things that we
• 0:55
  need to do in order to get those outcomes.
• 0:58
  We will be, you know, I I, I often love the fact that people
• 1:03
  will say things like, well, she's got all of this or he's
• 1:07
  got all of this or this person has all of this and they get
• 1:11
  jealous of the fact that these people have all these things
• 1:14
  and. The reality is those people are
• 1:17
  working their butts off to get what they, you know, have and
• 1:21
  they get and be able to do all the things that they do.
• 1:25
  And you know, you're only seeing the tip of the iceberg and
• 1:27
  you're not seeing all the work that went in underneath.
• 1:30
  You're only seeing what's that, that outward look of stuff.
• 1:34
  You're not seeing anything underneath and how much they
• 1:37
  poured into themselves. And so it's really easy to sit
• 1:40
  there and say I'm going to judge someone else's result.
• 1:44
  And say, wow, this isn't fair. I want this blah blah blah,
• 1:48
  blah, blah blah blah. But you're not willing to pour
• 1:50
  in the work for yourself. And sometimes this becomes just
• 1:54
  a a moment of clarity when I'll say to people, well, look, ask
• 1:58
  yourself, what are you willing to do?
• 2:00
  Are you willing to work 13 hour days if that's what it takes?
• 2:04
  Are you willing to study in and you know take a course that has
• 2:08
  250 hours that you have to do to get the certifications?
• 2:12
  Are you willing to have the good attitude about doing it all and
• 2:15
  be happy, or you're just going to be miserable in the process?
• 2:17
  Because if you're just going to be miserable while you're doing
• 2:19
  it, there's no point in doing it because the results will end up
• 2:23
  taking forever. Or by the time they get here,
• 2:26
  you won't even want them because you'll be so beaten up by the
• 2:29
  process. You got to have a good attitude
• 2:31
  about doing it all, and you got to be excited about doing it all
• 2:34
  and you got to say, listen, it's going to be work and it's going
• 2:36
  to be worth it. But sometimes we get so caught
• 2:40
  up in this. You know, Vortex, of not being
• 2:43
  able to see past it and and not recognizing that all of this
• 2:48
  comes down to what are we willing to do, what are we
• 2:52
  willing to do? And and really being honest with
• 2:57
  ourselves. Again, you'll find that a lot of
• 2:58
  our conversations are going to loop back to honesty.
• 3:01
  Because when we're not honest with ourselves, you know it's.
• 3:05
  It it it absolutely rips us apart because we're constantly
• 3:09
  living in that state of lying to ourselves and we're never able
• 3:12
  to get the outcomes that we want.
• 3:13
  So take this podcast for instance.
• 3:16
  When I said I was going to start shooting a podcast, I I had to
• 3:21
  really dig deep to say, well, if I'm going to do these little
• 3:24
  segments and I'm going to have them be 5 minutes a day, am I
• 3:27
  willing to do it every single day?
• 3:29
  Am I willing to go out there and make this every single day?
• 3:33
  And I waited a long time before I answered that question because
• 3:37
  I kept going back and forth with myself and making sure I could
• 3:41
  get happy enough and excited enough to do it.
• 3:44
  Well, as soon as I realized I could do it, where it from my
• 3:47
  happy place, which is my chicken coop.
• 3:50
  It was an it was a no brainer. Yes I can absolutely do it and I
• 3:53
  thought of it that way the moment I said I'm going to shoot
• 3:57
  this with the chickens and then boom, all is well.
• 3:59
  So point being. You can get yourself there, but
• 4:03
  you have to be willing to ask the right questions.
• 4:05
  When I was asking the question, you know, shoot a podcast, go
• 4:09
  out there and record wherever, you know, get in there and and
• 4:12
  give people your information. It all sounded great because I
• 4:14
  definitely wanted to help everybody, but there wasn't a
• 4:17
  connection, an emotional connection for me where I could
• 4:20
  just get in and be like, hell yeah.
• 4:22
  And as soon as I figured that out and kept asking that
• 4:25
  question of myself, finding those little pieces that I could
• 4:29
  connect the dots and doing it, then I was like, oh, Yep, I I'm
• 4:32
  willing to do it. And then yes, I'm willing to do
• 4:35
  it every day because that's what it takes.
• 4:37
  This brain work takes every day as as I've said before.
• 4:43
  Every day you can't just cut the slack.
• 4:45
  You can't take a day off. Because if you take a day off,
• 4:48
  it's like not brushing your teeth for a day.
• 4:50
  And we all know how nasty that is.
• 4:53
  So today I'm going to ask you to check in with yourself and see
• 4:58
  what am I willing to do? What am I willing to do for
• 5:01
  myself and not just, you know, in a blip.
• 5:04
  What am I really willing to dig into?
• 5:06
  Am I willing to just? Even just say to yourself,
• 5:09
  listen, no matter what, I'm just going to focus on my happiness.
• 5:12
  I'm just going to focus on internally with nothing external
• 5:16
  driving it, just be happy. And if that's the case, then
• 5:19
  that's going to shift lots of things in your world.
• 5:21
  But if you're willing to do it, boy, oh boy, that is a lot of
• 5:25
  work because you're going to run into things constantly that make
• 5:27
  you not happy. But if you're willing to do it,
• 5:30
  it will work for you, so. Get out there.
• 5:33
  Figure out where are those parts where you can jump in and
• 5:37
  decide. Am I willing to do this for
• 5:39
  myself? Am I willing to do this work?
• 5:42
  And I will see you tomorrow. Have a blessed day, everybody.
