  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. How many days in your life do
• 0:32
  you allow for surprises to happen?
• 0:36
  Now, it may sound weird because you're like, well, if it's a
• 0:38
  surprise, am I not allowing it? But here's the thing.
• 0:43
  I find that I always don't delegate wealth and, and I, I
• 0:47
  know I've talked about this before how there's a need to
• 0:49
  delegate. I want to delegate more, but I
• 0:52
  struggle with it. And I'm not going to lie about
• 0:54
  the fact that I struggle with it because for me, one of the
• 0:57
  biggest challenges I have is having things not show up the
• 1:00
  way I want them to show up. So I don't always delegate.
• 1:04
  And my daughter helps me out with graphics and things and I,
• 1:09
  I, she wants the work. I should be giving her the work.
• 1:13
  But sometimes I don't like to delegate.
• 1:16
  And I, I do it because I want something to look the way I want
• 1:20
  it to look, especially when it comes to something personal like
• 1:23
  doing graphics for myself or my clients.
• 1:25
  And just so you know, when you hear the noise in the
• 1:27
  background, you are helping me get ready to go outside and take
• 1:31
  care of the chickens this morning because it's early and
• 1:33
  it's dark and I have early, early appointments.
• 1:37
  So we are doing our chores together and getting green for
• 1:40
  them this morning. So Needless to say, giving her
• 1:45
  the ability to be able to do something for me is super
• 1:48
  helpful and it, and it gives me the chance to see something
• 1:52
  different, but I don't remember that.
• 1:54
  So I I have a client that I'm working with on something
• 1:58
  special for him and I suggested, you know, that she do it instead
• 2:04
  of me doing it. I was like, why don't you do
• 2:06
  this and just take the graphics on?
• 2:09
  You do it. And this is something I really
• 2:11
  want this to be fantastic for him.
• 2:13
  He, I, I want to love on him because he needs to have that in
• 2:17
  his life. So in my mind, it made sense for
• 2:22
  me to do it, to pour into it. Here's the reality.
• 2:26
  It was great for her to try something different.
• 2:29
  It was great for her to test it out, see what she could come up
• 2:34
  with. And this morning when I opened
• 2:36
  it just shortly ago, you know, early because she did it late
• 2:40
  last night, because she likes to be up and work at night.
• 2:42
  And I don't like to be up at work at night.
• 2:44
  I want to be in bed at night. And I got it and I was like,
• 2:49
  wow, this is great. And it is completely different
• 2:53
  than I would have done, which is what the shocking part is.
• 2:58
  I don't know why I'm surprised. I know that happens.
• 3:01
  I know that happens. Yet look what I I, I didn't even
• 3:04
  give it an opportunity. So here's, here's my question.
• 3:09
  Why am I surprised about that? I stopped there and I said, you
• 3:13
  know this stuff. Why?
• 3:14
  And then I realized, how often am I allowing surprises to show
• 3:18
  up? Am I even allowing surprises to
• 3:21
  show up by the fact that I'm not, I'm not putting that in in
• 3:25
  my framework every day. I'm not saying, Hey, let me
• 3:28
  delegate this more. So it made me want to talk to
• 3:32
  you all about it because I'm telling you, this is the thing
• 3:35
  for me and I and I know it. So my my big focus is being able
• 3:42
  to say I'm going to do this more.
• 3:44
  And I'm announcing it to all of you so that I can say I'm going
• 3:47
  to do it more. I'm going to let her run with
• 3:49
  more and more things. That way I have time to write
• 3:53
  this new book that I have in my head that keeps swirling around
• 3:56
  and knocking and bothering me. And I know it's going to be I'm
• 3:59
  going to have some time coming up because once all these
• 4:02
  vegetables are in the ground and all the plants for the spring
• 4:05
  are out and everything's done, I will have time to do it.
• 4:08
  And I want to do it, but I can't do it if I don't delegate and I
• 4:12
  have to force myself to do the delegation.
• 4:15
  So this is where it comes in. So I'm going to question you.
• 4:18
  Where are you holding back? Where are you not letting
• 4:21
  yourself find the surprises? Where are you not letting people
• 4:24
  give you the gift of saying, wow, I can help you, Let me help
• 4:28
  you because it's so easy to fall into the trap of doing it
• 4:33
  yourself. It's so easy to do that.
• 4:36
  And you might find something better like I just did because
• 4:39
  I'm telling you this is this is something that's really great
• 4:43
  looking. And I am quite sure that this is
• 4:46
  going to do an amazing job for him when he puts it out there.
• 4:50
  So I just wanted to share all of that with you, tell you this is
• 4:54
  a journey that I'm on somehow. I told you I'm working on a new
• 4:57
  book, which is I think is funny. And push yourself to let go and
• 5:03
  see what happens, because you may be surprised and isn't that
• 5:07
  wonderful? All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:09
  you have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:12
  Bye.
