Like at the very bottom. Self-care is never a priority when there is so much to do, right? Self-care feels like a luxury that only the “rich” get to experience. And I've heard from the men, too, it's not limited to just us "farm gals." Self-care becomes a priority: AFTER we make our husband’s lunch… AFTER we get the kids ready for school… AFTER we tend to the cows… chickens... customers... AFTER all of our "other" responsibilities are met… Which honestly, leaves zero time for ourselves. But what if I told you that after years of putting myself dead last, it was no wonder I was resentful, tired and ready to quit. Today, with all I've learned about the dangers of neglecting self-care, I now make time for myself. On today’s podcast, I share how I’ve made this mindset shift and what it had done for me, my family and the farm’s profits.

We help our neighbors, aging parents, young children and farm animals that need tending to, all to be left with an empty tank at the end of the day. We constantly tell ourselves that “we don’t have time for marketing” and that “the day is always getting away” from us no matter how hard we try to set boundaries and manage our day. It’s a common problem that we all face and today on the Profitable Mindset Podcast, I’m sharing how I’ve personally gotten hold of how I spend my time and I finally feel in control of my day.

Your Branding Bundle is Here >> https://www.3cowmarketing.com/branding-bundle I'm so excited to be here continuing with the branding strategy I introduced you to in the last episode 22! You'll want to be sure to listen to that one as well here. So many of you want the magic pill to building your profitable farm and branding is one way you can accomplish this. But I have to warn you, like everything else I teach, it takes time, patience and consistency. “A brand is a set of expectations, memories, stories, and relationships that, taken together, account for a consumer’s decision to choose one service or another.”    — Seth Godin I go into detail on the next episode of Profitable Mindset here.

This can be a hard time of year for many farmers because it's coooooold outside for most of the country. Wouldn't it be nice if we could slow down, rest and enjoy indoor activities with the family? Instead, I'm getting emails saying "Help! My freezer is full of meat chicken/beef/milk (fill in the blank). The markets are over and my sales have stopped!" This is the exact feast and famine cycle we need to stop. But how? Listen to this week’s Profitable Mindset podcast here!

Fill out your own 2020 business plan here: https://www.3cowmarketing.com/bizplan2020 Do you enjoy selling some of your products, but dread others?    Maybe you no longer look forward to going to the local farmers market only to make a few sales after dedicating 6+ hours of time on a Saturday and Sunday? But you keep doing it because you think you have to.   How about planning your marketing calendar?

Should we sell at the farmers market or invest in an on-site farm store? Should I take credit cards or cash only?

When was the last time you had a few hours to yourself? Alone. Quiet. Without interruptions?   You’re probably rolling your eyes and thinking… yeah, right… that world doesn’t happen.   Stress. Burnout. Overwhelm. Ready to quit.   Ring a bell?   It gets to all of us. We’re constantly running around and working ourselves to the bone.   It’s not healthy and the overwhelm, burnout and constant state of stress can lead to serious health problems if you’re not careful.   In today’s episode of the Profitable Mindset, I’ll be sharing my top way on How to Reduce Stress and Anxiety on the farm.   I’ll share my 3 things that will help inlcuding an exercise I do daily for my own self-coaching. When you learn this, you'll be on your way to feeling good about running a successful, profitable farm with ease.   It takes practice (like everything else I teach), but I know it’s possible for you when you make self-care a priority.
