  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 from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So actually I said it's good morning, but it's really the
• 0:34
  afternoon because you know the morning it's too dark for me to
• 0:36
  be out there and we are locking the girls up for the night.
• 0:40
  So there is no prescriptive formula for success.
• 0:46
  Yes, you heard me say it. There is no prescription, no
• 0:49
  prescriptive formula that says OK, this is if you do all these
• 0:53
  things, this will make you successful.
• 0:56
  There are plenty of people out there that will tell you
• 1:00
  different, but I am telling you right now as somebody who has
• 1:04
  done this for over 50,000 hours of coaching, approaching 51,000
• 1:09
  hours of coaching. It is very much a combination of
• 1:16
  mindset and activity. It is all about your energy and
• 1:21
  the emotion you stay in as well as the tasks and the the setup
• 1:29
  you have for those tasks, the consistency that you do them in
• 1:33
  to be successful. So it it, you can sit there and
• 1:36
  you can say, hey, I just got someone to give me their formula
• 1:39
  for success and they can tell you.
• 1:42
  But if you went to do the exact same thing, it may or may not
• 1:45
  work because it all depends on the mindset you're in.
• 1:48
  And it depends on how well you are connected to doing that
• 1:53
  activity consistently. And that's where it becomes
• 1:57
  tricky because we have to look at things and make a decision
• 2:00
  and decide if we're willing to be that consistent.
• 2:04
  And for most people, consistency is critically hard.
• 2:08
  It it, it is a big deal. Consistency is one of those
• 2:13
  things that drives so many people over the edge.
• 2:16
  They don't like doing the same things all the time.
• 2:18
  They don't like dealing with the same things all the time.
• 2:21
  That's absolutely correct, Sammy.
• 2:24
  And they will complain about it nonstop because they feel like
• 2:29
  if they have to do the same things over and over and over
• 2:31
  and over and over and over and over, they are not going to
• 2:33
  enjoy themselves. And they will say that.
• 2:35
  So they say I have to change it. I can't just do it.
• 2:38
  And I hear people say it all the time, like, oh, it gets to be
• 2:42
  drudgery. Well, it only gets to be
• 2:43
  drudgery because you're going into it with a specific mindset,
• 2:48
  which doesn't necessarily serve you.
• 2:50
  And so we repeat, we wash, rinse and repeat the, the process of
• 2:54
  destruction for our own well-being.
• 2:57
  Because if we could just change what it meant to us, you know,
• 3:01
  this is the, the heart of what people who meditate, Buddhist
• 3:07
  monks, Hindi monks talk about. It's they, they do these things
• 3:11
  over and over and over to break themselves of the cycle of
• 3:14
  thinking that they have to be done, you know, a certain way to
• 3:21
  say, oh, yes, there's success. No, they, what they do is they
• 3:24
  do it over and over and over until it becomes rote and
• 3:26
  there's no meaning to it. It's kind of like brushing your
• 3:29
  teeth. So if you think of brushing your
• 3:31
  teeth, do you brush your teeth and complain about brushing your
• 3:35
  teeth? No, because when you were
• 3:36
  little, your parents broke you of that habit and they got you
• 3:40
  into it and they said, no, this is what has to be done.
• 3:43
  And you just cooperated and you did it.
• 3:44
  And therefore you don't have a problem brushing your teeth now
• 3:47
  you just do it. And that's a great thing because
• 3:50
  guess what, we have to brush our teeth.
• 3:52
  You do not want to walk around in this world with yuck mouth.
• 3:55
  So we just do it. In the meantime, we have this
• 3:59
  consistent thought process around.
• 4:03
  I've got to know how to be successful.
• 4:04
  I've got to know how to be successful and there's tons and
• 4:08
  tons and tons of books. I mean, how many of you
• 4:10
  listening have books on your shelves about how to be
• 4:12
  successful in business or marketing or even mindset?
• 4:16
  All of it. You have all these books up
• 4:18
  there, but you feel like you still haven't mastered it and
• 4:20
  you're still working on it. Well, I can tell you I've got
• 4:23
  tons and tons and tons of books on gardening and all kinds of
• 4:27
  things. And I can tell you I am still
• 4:29
  not successful with some of it. I still can't grow certain
• 4:32
  things and God knows some of them are not hard to grow, but
• 4:36
  for some reason I still can't get them to work.
• 4:38
  So this is, this is a across the board situation that has to be
• 4:44
  looked at. And it, it comes down to sitting
• 4:48
  down and saying, Hey, you know what?
• 4:50
  What is my mindset around this? Do I believe I'm going to be
• 4:52
  successful or not? And am I willing to do the
• 4:55
  simple, consistent steps to make that work?
• 4:59
  And if I am, then I've got, I've got a great chance of being
• 5:02
  successful at that. But if I don't, then I have an
• 5:05
  absolutely horrible chance of being successful.
• 5:09
  I will not be successful. So consistency matters in a big,
• 5:14
  huge way. Huge way.
• 5:16
  And it also matters to you to understand that your mindset has
• 5:19
  to be as consistent. So both things, being
• 5:21
  consistent, get us where we want to head.
• 5:24
  In doing that, we have an opportunity.
• 5:27
  So think about that. My friends and I will see you
• 5:30
  tomorrow. Bye.
