Living Free in Tennessee - Nicole Sauce

Today we have a thought of the walk. You see, these past four weeks I have been struggling with time management. While everyone has been home sharing which netflix series they intend to binge watch, complaining about being bored and so forth, I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off getting little bits of lots of things done and nothing finished. So I will share some thoughts on time management later in the show. Reminder - Workshop tickets are on sale - there are four available right now: https://www.livingfreeintennessee.com/spring-workshop-2020/ Main topic of the Show: TOTW on Time Management Make it a great week!

I had a request to talk through my tools - as in which tools I have and why. Rather than go through the exhaustive list, I thought I would run you through what is in my tool bag in the house - and then I will heartily complain about what is not because sometimes it happens that I or another visitor grabs something from the bag and does not put it back, which drives me batty when I need the thing. Last week's Holler Hat was making cheddar cheese. Thursday Webinar is a Property Walk of the Holler Homestead. Then we will drop to monthly with Google My Business being the topic in May.

Today, I hopped over on Mewe to ask what folks would like to hear about and got a laundry list of ideas. Mr. Eash posited one that I thought would be timely today: changes you might want to make to be ready to not leave for 4 weeks in light of our extension through April 30 on stay at home orders. He was asking from the perspective of a homestead, but I will take a bigger lifestyle view of this. #HollerHatWednesday: Where is she and who is she with?

This is meant to help you get the right frame of mind as you build revenue streams, rather than send you off to try 14,000 new hustles.
