THE WORKSHOP IS OVER. GET ON MY EMAIL LIST TO BE NOTIFIED ABOUT FUTURE WORKSHOPS. https://view.flodesk.com/pages/64120c4d39e52a6f1129ec08 As homesteaders and homestead dreams, we have become aware that we need to take some control of our food supply. This is what we all have in common. We no longer want to just be dependent on grocery stores to provide food for us. I think the idea of multiple income streams really resonates with most people. It sounds wise to have multiple streams of income for security and financial freedom. But, what makes homesteaders different from the rest of the world is that we understand the need to be prepared. This is why I teach about the 3 Income Homestead Streams. Those are on-homestead income, off-homestead income and online income. These diverse income streams allow us to prepare for when we need to shift with current events. We all understand we don't know what the future holds and we need to be prepared for different scenarios. There will be times you may lean into one income stream more heavily than the others. This type of thought process also goes beyond just making money. It's also about being a part of a local community and being a person someone can count on for a product or service others need. I believe this is a more holistic way to think about income. Today I'm going to discuss with my friend Jason from the Plans and Provisions Podcast about 5 Homestead Income Mistakes to Avoid. Some of these mistakes my husband and I have made and we really don't want you to make the same mistakes.

When we think of homesteaders, we don't generally picture monetary wealth. Most of us are choosing a lifestyle of simplicity but I don't think anyone enjoys being strapped for money. While most homesteaders can agree the lifestyle is worth it regardless of the money, that doesn't mean we shouldn't pursue income streams that will allow us to be more financially sustainable. I see financial comfort as the ability to have a steady flow of income, coming from multiple sources, that allow you to have the wiggle room to enjoy your life without working yourself into the ground, being able to go on vacation and help people freely with your time and money. Listen to today's episode to learn ways you can discover what financial comfort means to you.

One of the most useful things I did in 2022 was tapping into turtle tactics. What are turtle tactics, you ask? Turtle Tactics basically are setting your goals up to have the consistent, slow pace of a turtle. Or tortoise. We all know The Tortoise and The Hare story, right? The race between the tortoise and a hare. The hare seems the obvious winner because he's fast and a little cocky and the turtle is slow and consistent. The turtle wins the race because of his slow consistent pace. To me, this story is the perfect example for someone wanting to reach any goal but especially financial goals. Slow and steady wins the race. We can use these turtle tactics with all types of income streams. In episode 13 of the Homesteading for Beginners podcast I go into the 3 income streams you should have to set yourself up for longevity on the homestead. I encourage you to go back and listen to that episode. Three income streams allow for enough income diversity so that if something were to go wrong with one, you'd still have another to fall back on. These 3 income streams ideally should be related to homesteading. The reason is that growing your skill set while you are getting paid is like killing two birds with one stone. On- homestead Income Off-homestead Income Online Income I've spent years doing things the complicated way by learning most of what I know through trial and error and let me say, it sucked. It's so worth it to pay someone to teach you how to get where you want to be. You will cut out some much wasted time, heartache and loneliness. Starting a business can be a lonely experience. The good news is I can help get you started a lot faster and in a smarter way than I did. Having someone cheer you on and believe in your business venture can make all the difference, especially if you choose to take the slow and steady turtle approach I mentioned in this episode.

What do you do when your spouse or partner is not on board with your homesteading dreams? This is something I hear people struggling with all the time. One spouse is all into the idea of homesteading and the other has big reservations or is very against the idea. Recently, I coach a member of the Homesteading for Beginners community through this very topic. I decided a podcast episode on this topic would be good for those dealing with the same thing. I didn't poll any of my audience but I imagine some of the objections from the spouse that is not into the idea of homesteading might be concerned with: the cost of starting a homestead giving up modern convenience of fitting in as a homesteader. their kids will be deprived and sheltered family and friends will judge their lifestyle. added work to their already busy life. If any of these objections resonate with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts. You can send me a direct message on Instagram. If I didn't list an objection send me that as well.
