• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am

• 0:09
  happen to 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.
• 0:30
  So today we're talking about winning.
• 0:33
  Now there's a quote out there floating around, not sure who
• 0:36
  said it, but winners don't quit when things don't go their way.
• 0:40
  They strategize till they get it right.
• 0:42
  So this is really important, really important.
• 0:46
  Do you see yourself as a winner? Do you see yourself as a winner?
• 0:51
  I mean, it's a phrase that most of us don't necessarily even
• 0:55
  think about, in my opinion. I can tell you right now, if you
• 0:59
  asked me, do I think of myself as a winner, I'd be like, wait,
• 1:02
  what? Winning what, like a, a, a
• 1:05
  ribbon? Like, it's not something that I
• 1:07
  determine as a winner. But it is an interesting word to
• 1:11
  add into your vocabulary so that you can start seeing yourself in
• 1:14
  different light. And that's what this is all
• 1:17
  about. Boy, they're really on it this
• 1:18
  morning with the crowing. And it's it's interesting to add
• 1:22
  it in to your repertoire there to make sure that you are adding
• 1:26
  extra, you know, intention and good words, good descriptions
• 1:30
  into how you see yourself. So winner like, OK, grab a pen,
• 1:35
  grab a piece of paper and sit there and say, you know, how do
• 1:38
  I define myself if I'm winning? How do I define myself if I'm
• 1:42
  winning? What would I look for in myself?
• 1:45
  How do I describe it? Now notice if we go back to the
• 1:48
  quote, and again, this is really important, go back to the quote
• 1:52
  and actually look at what we're talking about.
• 1:55
  You can see it says winners don't quit when things don't go
• 1:59
  their way. They strategize till they get it
• 2:02
  right. So that means change your
• 2:04
  approach, which you've heard me say a bazillion times, change
• 2:07
  your approach, change your approach, change your approach.
• 2:09
  Because it's a cardinal rule in my world of coaching that as I'm
• 2:13
  working with people, if what we're doing isn't working, it's
• 2:17
  not their fault that it's not working.
• 2:19
  It's my fault for not coming up with an approach that will help
• 2:22
  them. That's the point.
• 2:24
  It's it's got to be something that has to help them.
• 2:28
  Therefore, it's my job to make sure I understand how to do
• 2:33
  that. I have to be the professional in
• 2:35
  that and figure out what do I need to do Change your approach.
• 2:38
  Well, this is the same thing. Shift your strategy, change what
• 2:41
  you're doing. Recognize that you've got to
• 2:44
  change it over and over and over until you get it to the point
• 2:47
  that it seems like you're on the right path.
• 2:49
  But again, if we don't look for winning, if we don't seek it
• 2:53
  out, we're not going to win. If we will just not do it.
• 2:56
  It has to be something there. Now when I started to get ready
• 2:59
  to record this today, I was actually thinking to myself,
• 3:01
  wow, winning. It's not something that I
• 3:04
  actually think about. Like I don't say to myself
• 3:06
  winning like I'm just not one of those people.
• 3:09
  I'll just go yay and I celebrate.
• 3:11
  Sure, I do a celebration, but winning.
• 3:14
  This probably comes back to the fact that one, I did not play
• 3:17
  sports as a child, very much not the sports person.
• 3:21
  And two, I didn't really like playing games as a kid because
• 3:26
  other than like, you know, trouble or perfection or
• 3:32
  operation, I didn't really play games.
• 3:36
  Card games, yes. When I got older, I started to
• 3:39
  play card games. I had a group of friends in high
• 3:41
  school that were obsessed with playing cards and we used to
• 3:44
  play this game that everyone knew called 45 or we would play
• 3:47
  poker. And I I played, I rarely won and
• 3:52
  I really didn't play to win. When I go back and think about
• 3:55
  it, I didn't play to win. I played because it was a great
• 3:58
  way to hang out with my friends. That was it.
• 4:00
  I didn't care about winning. So it not ever been a
• 4:05
  competitive person. Even when I went to school, we
• 4:08
  would submit photos for competitions.
• 4:11
  I didn't care about winning or beating everybody else.
• 4:14
  It was not something that was important to me.
• 4:17
  I I can't explain it, it just was not.
• 4:20
  So that word has a very specific meaning to me personally, really
• 4:24
  kind of low on the totem pole. Can I celebrate things?
• 4:28
  Was more important for me. Where was the celebration?
• 4:30
  What could I celebrate in that? And it's just a language thing,
• 4:35
  but you have to know this within yourself.
• 4:37
  So when you start feeling that, you start saying, OK, if I'm not
• 4:42
  attached to this word winning that we're talking about, put
• 4:45
  something else in its place. But think about when things
• 4:47
  don't go your way. You've got to strategize.
• 4:50
  You've got to change it. And again, this lesson is all
• 4:52
  about understanding that words matter to people.
• 4:55
  So when you use them, make sure you're aligned with a word that
• 4:59
  makes sense and make sure you're strategizing in a way that helps
• 5:04
  you get past it. If you need to change the word,
• 5:06
  change the word. If you need to change the
• 5:08
  outcome, change the outcome. But the reality is, don't
• 5:11
  compete. Don't keep doing the same thing
• 5:13
  and struggling. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:16
  you have a blessed day. Maybe it'll be a winning day.
• 5:19
  I'm wondering now, I'm going to be in my head about this all
• 5:21
  day. I hope you have a blessed day
• 5:24
  and I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
