#182: This Mindset Shift Will Help You Pay Off Farm Debt with Ease
Free Training: 4 Powerful and Simple Steps To Create More Time A couple of weeks ago I coached a farmer who was forced to take on debt due to a family illness. Click the Link Above to Hear the Mindset Shift she Made The debt made her feel like she was drowning. Can you relate, if not now, at any time in your life? Let’s face it, if you own a farm, there’s a great chance you’ve got some kind of debt. Imagine having no more mortgage payments. Pickup trucks and tractors - paid off. Credit card debt is paid in full every month. I have client after client becoming debt-free after coaching with me for a year or two, three or five! It’s possible to get out from under the overwhelm of debt - but you’ve got to make a change in your mindset to make this happen. As a matter of fact, if you DON’T change your mindset and instead pay off your debt… the old thinking will get you right back into debt again. Everything you do to create a successful farm and life STARTS with how you’re thinking about it. Today’s episode is the how-to on thinking about debt in a way that will move you forward toward freedom from the overwhelm of debt. Listen to Episode 182 of the Profitable Mindset Podcast Creating a more financially secure farm life IS possible for you. Warmly, Charlotte

#180: An Easy 3 Step Process Farmers use to Write Emails That Make Money
Click HERE For Farm Marketing Bootcamp Invite - Starts September 11th Last week a farmer requested coaching because she was drawing a total blank when it came to writing emails and social media posts to market her beef. This didn’t just happen once, it was happening week after week. You know what happens when you’re stuck not writing sales emails and posts? You don’t make any, or enough, sales to pay the bills. But it feels so REAL that you don’t have anything to say when it’s time to write. This is a super sneaky mental habit that keeps farmers stuck when they try to sell their products. It’s not true at all - that you don’t know what to say. But it feels true. That’s the power of coaching - you show up feeling so stuck, and within minutes, the coaching technology I use gets you unstuck. Soon, you’re unstoppable. We coached for 10 minutes and she inspired the most perfect marketing email - that you can copy word for word. Just listen to today’s episode, learn the process to get unstuck, then use the email I wrote right on air for her. If you EVER get stuck not knowing what to say or what to post, this episode is for you. You’ll learn my exact process to: Get instant clarity on what to write about Make quick, confident decisions during your marketing time Know *for sure* when you’re on the right path Enjoy, Charlotte

#175: How This Flower Farmer Increased Her Price by 30% and Still Sells Out
Click HERE For Farm Marketing Bootcamp Invite - Starts September 11th Three days before her wedding, flower farmer Colleen Taugher sat down with me to record this podcast episode. She was calm, balanced, energetic, and stress-free. Even during the busy flower season! Plus designing her own wedding bouquets. She credits the 5x Coaching program with allowing her to easily and calmly plan her wedding, do all her flowers, and take off for a 10-day honeymoon. All while managing a busy flower farm and employees and fulfilling her floral design orders. And she’s making more money than ever in her business this year. You see, over the past year in the coaching program, she’s learned to increase her prices by enough to hire help and still make a profit. She credits the Time Management class I teach with balancing her ADHD brain. She is no longer in constant reaction mode on her farm. She could get off the “hamster wheel” she felt she was running on in the past. Life’s too short to be stressed and overwhelmed. She started with the 5X time management program, and Colleen went from feeling frantic and overwhelmed to farming and wedding planning, feeling fun and balanced. With my program, she learned to be realistic with her schedule, and her brain calmed down. She implemented the coaching and teaching and became much more productive. And. Did I mention Raising her prices up-leveled her customer base. The bargain hunters dropped off, and more enthusiastic people eager to pay her higher prices showed up instead. You’ll be inspired by what Colleen has done in the past year with coaching. Listen to her success by clicking the link above. Plan on joining us in 5X Your Farm Sales in August! When you implement the teaching and coaching, you’ll create success in your life and business that you never imagined possible. Working harder does not make you more money. Otherwise, every farmer would make tons of money - NO ONE works harder than farmers. Listen to Colleen’s story of success. Then let’s make yours a reality, too. Charlotte
