  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.
• 0:15
  To. Teach distinctions,
• 0:17
  possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring some
• 0:20
  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.
• 0:29
  OK, the question of the day, what's the number one factor
• 0:34
  that you could think of that pushes you to success?
• 0:39
  Like what's that number one factor that seems to show up in
• 0:43
  success across the board no matter who you're talking to?
• 0:48
  Have you thought about this? Any clue at all?
• 0:51
  Just take a second and really think about this.
• 0:53
  What do you think it is? OK, I'm going to tell you after
• 0:57
  years of coaching, I can definitively say the number one
• 1:00
  factor is not education. It's not, you know, status.
• 1:07
  It's not all of the things that one might think it would be.
• 1:11
  It is consistency, without a doubt.
• 1:15
  Consistency is the thing that pushes us to the success that we
• 1:19
  are looking for. And the crazy part of it is
• 1:23
  success is built upon multiple little consistent things that
• 1:28
  you do. But you want to know what the
• 1:30
  conundrum is here. And the puzzle isn't all of it.
• 1:33
  That consistency is also the number one thing that can wipe
• 1:38
  you out if you're going in the wrong direction.
• 1:41
  So it's kind of like a double edged sword.
• 1:44
  Consistency really is a challenge when you are doing the
• 1:48
  wrong things. So in other words, if I'm eating
• 1:51
  the wrong food consistently, I'm going to suffer the effects of
• 1:54
  that. If I'm having the wrong people
• 1:57
  in my employment and I continue to keep them in my employment
• 2:01
  and I don't do something about it, I'm going to suffer the
• 2:04
  consequences if I do things consistently.
• 2:07
  Like if I if I have a rock in my shoe, and this is such a simple
• 2:10
  example, but it it always gets through to people.
• 2:13
  If I have a rock in my shoe and it's not bothering me enough to
• 2:18
  stop, but I feel it in my shoe and I keep walking and it's just
• 2:23
  there and it keeps irritating my foot and irritating my foot and
• 2:27
  irritating my foot. The crazy thing is by the end of
• 2:30
  the day, when I take my shoe off, I'm going to have a tender
• 2:33
  spot on my foot. And that tender spot is not
• 2:36
  going to just last for that little bit of time.
• 2:39
  I take my shoe off and now it's gone.
• 2:41
  That little tender spot is going to last quite some time because
• 2:45
  I've I've worn it in, I've got, I've got this like impression of
• 2:49
  this little tiny fragment of the earth in my foot.
• 2:54
  And I didn't take care of it. I didn't do it, but I kept
• 2:57
  walking on it consistently because I kept doing the same
• 3:02
  thing over and over with that little tiny rock.
• 3:04
  Now I've actually hurt my foot. Now it's a, it's a little tiny
• 3:07
  sample of where it shows up. But when you take that sample
• 3:12
  and you extrapolate that out and you start thinking about those
• 3:15
  things that are in your life that are not, you're doing them
• 3:19
  consistently. So don't just say, oh,
• 3:21
  consistency matters. It does matter.
• 3:23
  But doing the right things consistently matters so much
• 3:28
  more because heck, why would we want to keep running in the
• 3:32
  wrong direction and expecting to get the right results?
• 3:35
  It it just doesn't work. But it's the hardest thing that
• 3:39
  I think I have to work on with people because they're like,
• 3:42
  well, I'm being consistent. OK, Yes, I understand you're
• 3:44
  being consistent, but if you're being consistent in the wrong
• 3:47
  way, it's not going to get you where you want to go.
• 3:50
  And it's often the smallest things that we don't realize.
• 3:55
  For instance, if you are in a company, if you have a company,
• 3:58
  if you have a business, if you're a small business owner
• 4:01
  and you're listening, or even if you're a big, you know you're a
• 4:05
  person that runs a team in a big company.
• 4:07
  If you have these little factors that are pushing consistently
• 4:13
  and they're just irritating, they're not something that you
• 4:16
  feel like you've got to take on and, you know, conquer the world
• 4:19
  with, but they're there and they're irritating and every day
• 4:23
  they're there. Please do not make the mistake
• 4:25
  of thinking that these will not bother the overall outcome or
• 4:29
  they're not eroding something. They are because consistency
• 4:33
  always wins. If you have a person on your
• 4:36
  team and that person is negative and they're constantly bringing
• 4:40
  negative energy, make sure you realize clearly that that will
• 4:46
  affect the other team members. Make sure you realize when that
• 4:50
  when you hear somebody's leaving, somebody's quitting,
• 4:52
  somebody's going somewhere else, you know that that is because
• 4:56
  they did not like the conditions of which they were set up and
• 4:59
  working in. And part of that may be because
• 5:01
  you didn't handle the little things that were consistently
• 5:05
  showing up and causing them problems.
• 5:08
  If you don't do it, nobody will within yourself if you're
• 5:13
  consistently saying I need to lose. £5 I need to lose 5 lbs I
• 5:17
  need to lose 5. Pounds, but you're not doing the
• 5:20
  things that you need to and you consistently keep eating the
• 5:23
  wrong things and stopping at Chick-fil-A and buying, oh, I'm
• 5:27
  just going to run in and get a quick pop or whatever that adds
• 5:31
  up. And those things are what
• 5:33
  eroded. So what are you doing
• 5:36
  consistently in your favor and what are you doing consistently
• 5:40
  against your favor? Question of the day, my friends.
• 5:43
  Question of the day. I hope you have a blessed 1 and
• 5:46
  I will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
