  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.
• 0:15
  Teach distinctions, possibilities, new ways of
• 0:18
  thinking, and just bring some joy into the world.
• 0:21
  So welcome to the coop and let's start your day off in a
• 0:24
  fantastic way. Hey everybody, good morning from
• 0:28
  the chicken coop. I'm so happy to be out here.
• 0:31
  It's warmer. It's.
• 0:32
  Later. It's sunnier, the girls are all
• 0:35
  laying eggs and having breakfast and just this is like a joyful
• 0:39
  moment and. I'm sitting.
• 0:41
  Here on this little bench that I have under their big oak tree
• 0:45
  that's in their coop. And I'm, I was just
• 0:48
  contemplating like, OK, what do I want to do this year
• 0:52
  differently out here on, you know, the farm in general?
• 0:57
  What do I want to grow? What are all the things today,
• 0:59
  you know, will be a time when I actually really start digging in
• 1:04
  and thinking, I finished all the paperwork I had to do for
• 1:06
  business. And now I'm like, OK, I'm going
• 1:09
  to start letting my imagination run wild.
• 1:12
  But before I do that, you know, figuring out what have I learned
• 1:16
  this year and what are the things that I know I, I really,
• 1:21
  I did not like the results of and how do I incorporate that?
• 1:25
  Because to me, always remembering what you've learned
• 1:28
  is extremely important. And most of the time when we
• 1:31
  start thinking about that, we, we force ourselves to try to
• 1:34
  figure out what was good. Like, well, you know, OK, like,
• 1:37
  OK, that I learned this and I learned this and I learned this
• 1:40
  great. But don't forget what didn't
• 1:42
  work. And there's some things that I
• 1:43
  definitely can equate that to here in the chicken coop with
• 1:48
  the girls, certain things that I know I need, like they're dust
• 1:53
  bathing bath area, like they'll dust bathe anywhere.
• 1:55
  But I want them using certain things so their feathers stay
• 1:59
  nice, but also so they don't have problems with bugs or mites
• 2:03
  or anything like that. And knock on wood, as I do, we
• 2:06
  have never had an issue with that inside the coop or outside
• 2:10
  the coop. But I need a better area.
• 2:11
  I need something that they're interested in.
• 2:14
  And this is the crazy thing, I also learned from a good
• 2:17
  standpoint that they love variety.
• 2:18
  So the same things over and over aren't great for them.
• 2:21
  They love variety and they like to see things different.
• 2:24
  They're curious and, and on the, you know, the side that I can
• 2:28
  say what didn't work is I have historically just had their dust
• 2:32
  bathing area in one little spot on the side.
• 2:35
  And then they, they'll find spaces all around the farm,
• 2:37
  which they'll continue to do. But again, I can learn something
• 2:41
  from this. So not even just in this like I,
• 2:44
  I can say with the garden, I've really learned that a lot of the
• 2:48
  stuff that I grew, I didn't get to use to its fullest potential
• 2:52
  because I didn't have a spot for drying.
• 2:54
  So all the herbs that I had and they did really well, I couldn't
• 2:59
  dry them, which is so wasteful to me.
• 3:02
  So that's going to be a big fix. And you know, we've got lots of
• 3:05
  things in mind for how we want to change it, but it's all
• 3:08
  predicated on mindset of like, OK, what do we want to make this
• 3:12
  place be? Now, at the same time, I do have
• 3:14
  dual mindsets because this thing is this farm is really, it's a
• 3:18
  magical place for me. And it is a it's kind of like
• 3:25
  it's out of my imagination in many ways.
• 3:27
  I really can't begin to tell you Sitting here on this bench with
• 3:31
  the sun beaming down for the first time in days and the
• 3:33
  warmth coming through and looking at what's, you know, in
• 3:37
  front of me, I just get so excited because it's pure
• 3:40
  potential. It's just something that like,
• 3:42
  oh, it just makes me smile every time I see it.
• 3:46
  And I think what's so important for us as human beings to
• 3:50
  remember is sometimes you have to get yourself excited about
• 3:55
  things, sometimes you, but you also have to figure out what
• 3:57
  didn't work. So I'm going to be making a big
• 4:00
  fat list of all of that today. I had done it before in December
• 4:04
  when I debriefed myself. I'm going to go back to that.
• 4:07
  And I'm going to also add to it because there are things I
• 4:10
  learned through this winter so far about this harshness of this
• 4:13
  winter that I would definitely want to fix.
• 4:15
  So I think the the overall message that I want to impart on
• 4:20
  you today is keep learning. Don't be afraid to ask what when
• 4:24
  you were learning, what didn't work?
• 4:27
  Do a deep dive into that as much as you do the deep dive into
• 4:30
  what does work. And then compare your notes and
• 4:33
  make your possibilities to go forward or your outcomes, goals,
• 4:37
  whatever you want to call it, to go forward because that's
• 4:39
  exactly what I'm about to do. All right, my friends, I hope
• 4:42
  you have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 4:45
  Bye.
