  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.
• 0:29
  I just finished up a session sitting on the porch very early
• 0:33
  in the morning with a client that's overseas and I did the
• 0:37
  session sitting on the porch in the dark.
• 0:39
  And part of the part of the gift about having this ability to do
• 0:44
  this and be able to be out here like this is, you know, the, the
• 0:49
  feeling of being able to go meditate, the feeling of being
• 0:52
  able to just sit here in that sunrise ish.
• 0:57
  It's, it was dark when I started the session and the sun is just
• 0:59
  starting to like brighten the sky even a little teeny bit.
• 1:03
  So it's not dark and listening to all the bugs and the frogs.
• 1:07
  And it's just, to me, it's just one of those wonderful moments
• 1:11
  where you can feel everything starting to wake up.
• 1:16
  And I always get very contemplative at this time of
• 1:19
  day. That's why I like to sit out
• 1:20
  here. Chickens aren't out.
• 1:22
  They're far off. You can hear the rooster in the
• 1:24
  background. But it gives me this time to
• 1:26
  really contemplate. And one of the things I was
• 1:29
  talking to this client about this morning was the fact that
• 1:32
  she doesn't understand why people don't follow through.
• 1:35
  She has a team of people that she has in her company and
• 1:40
  people will say they're going to do things and they don't follow
• 1:43
  through. And she's like, what's the
• 1:45
  reason people don't follow through?
• 1:47
  And I started to laugh and I said, well, there are multiple
• 1:50
  causes of that. I can't tell you that just one
• 1:54
  is the one that's going to give you your answer.
• 1:57
  But what I can tell you is that it's a very common thing that
• 2:00
  people talk about and complain about and, and in, in especially
• 2:06
  in business where they'll say, I hired someone, they said they
• 2:09
  were going to do it. They didn't follow through.
• 2:11
  And it, it's a, it's a non-stop conversation about how humans in
• 2:18
  general will say they're going to do something and then, you
• 2:22
  know, not do it. In her company, like many
• 2:27
  companies, they asked them to all publicly put out their
• 2:30
  goals. They say, what are you working
• 2:32
  on? They do it in a group.
• 2:33
  They think it's a, a safe setting.
• 2:35
  So everyone's saying things, putting goals out there and then
• 2:39
  nothing happens and she's like, we're publicly declaring it,
• 2:43
  isn't that enough? Now, if you're listening to this
• 2:46
  podcast, there's a very good chance that you're one of these
• 2:49
  people that that would be enough to say, well, I told everybody I
• 2:52
  would do it. I'll do it because you're in a
• 2:54
  self growth mode. You're listening to this and
• 2:57
  that causes you to say, OK, well, I, I, I, I definitely
• 3:01
  always, I'm in the self growth mode.
• 3:03
  So I'm going to pay attention. I'm going to be it like, you
• 3:06
  know, on the things that I say, which is fabulous.
• 3:10
  I I am the same way. If I say I'm going to do
• 3:13
  something, I take care of it. But not everybody's wired that
• 3:17
  way. And sometimes when you put
• 3:19
  people in a group and you put them under pressure and you get
• 3:22
  them to say what you want them to say, it doesn't mean they're
• 3:25
  going to do it. Have to understand everyone's it
• 3:29
  has individual motivation. And while the majority of people
• 3:32
  are motivated more by pain than pleasure, meaning they'll do
• 3:36
  more to avoid the pain of something than to get the carrot
• 3:39
  that you're dangling in front of them, most people, it's a
• 3:43
  combination of that true desire. And are they just saying it to
• 3:48
  shut you up? Are they just giving it, you
• 3:50
  know, the words that you want to hear in order to just get you
• 3:54
  off their back and understanding that what's really what really
• 3:58
  has to happen for them to do this?
• 4:01
  And that's not typically stuff that will come out in a group
• 4:04
  setting. That's more things that you have
• 4:07
  to have individual conversations with people for, including
• 4:10
  yourself, including yourself. So I like doing this podcast.
• 4:15
  When I started this podcast, I didn't tell a soul I was doing
• 4:19
  it. I was very quiet.
• 4:20
  I just went off and I recorded it for a month.
• 4:24
  I said I'm going to try this for a month and see how it goes.
• 4:27
  Actually, I started off with saying it was a week and if I
• 4:30
  like it after a week I'll keep going.
• 4:31
  And then after a month I'll see where it is and then I'll tell
• 4:34
  everybody I launched it once I have 30 episodes up and going
• 4:38
  and then I I'll feel like I can do it.
• 4:40
  So here we are 4 1/2 years later and I'm still doing it.
• 4:44
  And part of that, the, the, the, the great gooey stuff of that is
• 4:50
  I know, I know myself where if I can get into a rhythm of, of
• 4:54
  liking something, then I'll continue to do it.
• 4:57
  If I don't, I won't continue to do it.
• 5:00
  But I had these distinct feelings of doing it and I dug
• 5:04
  into those. But you have to do that with all
• 5:07
  the people around you, whether it's very small children or
• 5:10
  adults that you manage or your household, It doesn't matter
• 5:13
  what it is. You have to know their
• 5:15
  underlying motivation. And the question you need to
• 5:19
  really hone in on is what has to happen for the follow through?
• 5:23
  What has to happen for you to follow through with this?
• 5:25
  And when you ask that they tend, it's not absolute, but they tend
• 5:30
  to give you more solid answers. So I hope this was helpful and I
• 5:35
  hope you guys have a blessed day, productive and follow
• 5:38
  through and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 5:39
  Bye.
