  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson.
• 0:06
  And I am a. Mastermindset coach, creative
• 0:08
  strategist, and also happened to be a farmer.
• 0:11
  This is my chicken coop and I come out here every day to
• 0:14
  record a podcast to teach distinctions, possibilities, new
• 0:18
  ways of thinking, and just bring some joy into the world.
• 0:21
  So welcome to the coop and let's start your day off in a
• 0:24
  fantastic way. Hey, everybody.
• 0:28
  Good morning. OK.
• 0:30
  What do you do when you are entering into a zone that you
• 0:35
  are not necessarily in every day?
• 0:38
  So for instance, let's say you have an opportunity that is
• 0:41
  presented to you. It's not a definite, it's an
• 0:43
  opportunity and you are pushing yourself on this opportunity,
• 0:49
  meaning it's a really growth, big growth spurt.
• 0:51
  If you're going to like be able to take this on and grow, it's
• 0:55
  going to push you in so many different ways, personally,
• 0:59
  professionally, it's going to teach you a lot about yourself.
• 1:03
  And taking on a big project like that can be daunting, but it can
• 1:06
  also be exhilarating and liberating and many other
• 1:10
  wonderful things. But how you go into it really
• 1:13
  matters. So what do you do?
• 1:14
  Do you have a shift in yourself where you say, OK, I'm not going
• 1:19
  to know everything, but I'm still going to be able to do
• 1:21
  this and enter it? Well, most people don't have
• 1:26
  that. Let me let me really be clear
• 1:28
  about this. Most people don't have that
• 1:30
  mindset around it. They they feel like they have
• 1:33
  to, you know, I've got to be prepared.
• 1:34
  I'll be good when I'm prepared. Well, when you're entering into
• 1:38
  a zone that you haven't been before, it's very hard to be
• 1:43
  quote UN quote, fully prepared because you don't know what
• 1:46
  you're going to need. And unlike, you know, when
• 1:50
  you're going to go send your kids off to camp in the summer,
• 1:53
  they send you the list and say this is what your child will
• 1:55
  need to be prepared. You know, you, you don't get
• 1:58
  that with life. Wouldn't it be cool though, if
• 2:00
  you did? It's like, Oh yeah, you, you're
• 2:02
  going to need this and you're going to need this and you're
• 2:04
  going to need this. But that's just not how it
• 2:07
  always works. So how do you handle it for
• 2:11
  yourself when that's the case? And I'm in the middle of this
• 2:14
  right now where I'm working on something that could be.
• 2:19
  It's definitely a huge project. And if, if it comes to fruition
• 2:24
  the way I am manifesting it to come to fruition, it's going to
• 2:29
  be a very big endeavor. And you have to know that in
• 2:35
  this process, one of the first thing that shows up for
• 2:38
  everybody, even for me, is the moment of, OK, I'm not sure.
• 2:45
  And as soon as you hear yourself saying that, what does that
• 2:48
  trigger in you? So for me, when that shows up,
• 2:51
  my very first thing is when I say I'm not sure, I have to
• 2:55
  train my brain to get very curious and say, OK, I've got to
• 2:58
  be curious about this. I've got to be very tactile in
• 3:02
  staying curious, not in just finding things out, but being
• 3:06
  like, OK, I can pivot on a dime. I can add, I can change, I can
• 3:11
  shift because if I pivot, then I feel empowered.
• 3:14
  If I can be able to feel like, OK, I believe in myself, which
• 3:19
  is the bottom line of all of this.
• 3:21
  I believe in my skills, I believe in myself, I believe in
• 3:24
  the things that I'm doing. Then it's much easier for me,
• 3:28
  like way easier for me to be able to say, OK, I can take this
• 3:34
  on whatever it may present itself to be.
• 3:37
  But if I go into it feeling like I need to know everything, I'm
• 3:41
  never going to know everything. That's the crazy part.
• 3:43
  No matter what you do in your life, you're never going to know
• 3:47
  everything. It's like when you know, you
• 3:50
  think you're you're prepared for class that you sign up for and
• 3:54
  you show up for it. I mean, this goes all the way
• 3:56
  back to days of being in school and you go, this is going to be
• 3:59
  great. This class is going.
• 4:00
  To be this and you get. In this class, there's nothing
• 4:01
  of. What I planned it was going to
• 4:03
  be, well, that's just how life is.
• 4:05
  That's how it works and you and you can't anticipate every
• 4:10
  single aspect, but what you can anticipate is how you show up in
• 4:16
  those situations and that's what you have total control over how
• 4:20
  you show up. Nobody has total control over
• 4:24
  the circumstances outside themselves, but they do have
• 4:27
  total control over how they show up in all of these situations.
• 4:31
  And that's what's so critically important for all of us to
• 4:34
  remember. We have that without question.
• 4:38
  We just don't always believe it or access it or remember it.
• 4:41
  But we have it doesn't mean it's gone.
• 4:43
  It just means that we, we have to remember it and choose it to
• 4:47
  use it. So one of those things I really
• 4:51
  work on within myself, especially as I'm very, very
• 4:54
  early, you know, recording this at 4:00 in the morning,
• 4:57
  literally. And I'm putting this, you know,
• 5:01
  mindset to work. And I wanted to talk to you
• 5:03
  about it live because this is what I am doing live.
• 5:06
  So for me, before I sit down to work on what I'm putting
• 5:11
  together for this presentation, I'm reminding myself that, OK, I
• 5:17
  am not going to have all the answers for what these people
• 5:19
  are looking for, but I am going to have faith in myself and my
• 5:22
  skill set. And I do know that when that
• 5:25
  comes into play that I can rely on, I can rely completely on
• 5:30
  that for myself and I know it. So what do you know about
• 5:34
  yourself that you can rely on all the time?
• 5:37
  What are those great, wonderful things and find them and rely on
• 5:40
  them because it's a game changer.
• 5:42
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I'll
• 5:44
  see you tomorrow. Bye.
