Today, we discuss getting ahead of the urgent by doing your homework, as well as communicating when schedules slip. Live with The Humble Mechanic and John Willis, Tuesday at 12:30 CT Microclimates Webinar with Kerry Brown, Sunday, March 13 at 3pm Central SelfRelianceFestival.com Tales from the Prepper Pantry Road food fail STILL SEEKING to reorganize the freezers Reconfiguring the above chest freezer storage this coming weekend Lots of green beans to eat - not sad about this Scored a beautiful Bok Choy from the Stoltzfuss farm at Rogue - so nice to have something fresh to cook Forage this Week - not much has changed Watercress (but flooding) Dead nettle Chickweed Dandelion greens Operation Independence Post Rogue Assessment - lost money - next steps (Profit was -$455) Main topic of the Show: Do your Homework We haven't had a hard conversation in a long time. You know the one I mean - the one I mean. The one where we are honest with ourselves. Just got back from Rogue - got me to thinking about doing my homework (explain the coffee situation there and what we did) Then starting thinking about SRF 1 and 2 and ways we could have better equipped sponsors, vendors and attendees with information in advance of the festival and realized we had more homework to do as well as a 9 hour drive. I am very good at handling changing demands of an event with grace, but if I do my homework, there are fewer of these issues. What do I mean by doing your homework? Post meeting follow ups the same day Preparing a thank you note in advance of an event where one will be needed gets that small but important task done Thinking through big projects and identifying production needs, then doing them BEFORE deadline Looking into the background of people and things that you must know about to be successful (SRF Speakers) Establishing project goals and planning how to achieve them Setting up systems so that post event items get cleaned and stowed efficiently The list is endless. And therein lies the rub. The key to finding success and easing your life by doing your homework is knowing which homework you truly must do. If you don;t change your hvac filters, you end up with a huge mess. Likewise, if you do not thank your sponsors or other supporters, you damage the relationship. And usually these kinds of problems stem from not doing your homework in advance. Usually these things keep us from doing our homework: Fear of failure Overcommittment or overwhelmedness Disorganization Distraction Depression All are excuses when you embrace who is in control of your life and schedule. So how then, do we hold ourselves accountable while maintaining that all important health-relationship-work-fun balance? Separate the important form the busywork (Example - coaching call transcript vs coaching call summary. Speaker confirmation and communication vs internet sleuthing for more on the speaker) Establish your baseline: what must always be done (Example - coaching call must always have a post call write up the same day) Set up the system that empowers the homework: (Example - schedule coaching calls with an additional hour or two for the post call write up) Make the promise to yourself (I WILL do or die this thing) The hard step: follow through. Communicate better - underpromise and overdeliver rather than over promise and underdeliver. Eg - someone wants something now From planning events, to executing things well on your homestead, to interacting with people better - homework is something that is easy to put off. Part of this is because we are expected to do things that are busy work - like filing our tax reports. And because things like taxes come with a heavy consequence if you do not do the busywork, we have become trained to not separate the true homework that is important from the busywork that it is easy to assign ourselves because we feel good when we do it. You know - that endorphin rush you get when you click things off your list? But imagine what it is like when you DO set yourself up for doing your homework? Think of how SRF check in will be when we have everyone with parking passes in advance. When vendor spaces are on a map and assigned? Or think of how easy it is to add people to your table when you have a plan for dinner and a deep pantry? Or how about when you have a template email ready to go to confirm things? All of these sorts of structures happen when you do your homework. But you have to do it or it will never get done. Membership Plug MeWe reminder Make it a great week! Song: GUYS!

Russia invaded the Ukraine - that is what the headlines say. For days, I have watched people hyper focus on this international event. Then the joke memes started. Then the prepper facebook group got amped up about getting prepared via purchasing all the things. Then more humorous memes happened. Then it was Friday - and I had extra time to spend on something. And I had a decision to make. Today, I will share with you how I am moving beyond the crisis reporting drama of this world event to do my best to focus on the things that will move my life forward despite the fight with Russia, or the Ukraine, depending on which side is the side du jour. Connect on Social: t.me/lftnupdates https://mewe.com/join/lftn https://flote.app/user/Nicolesauce Resources: Investable Wealth: https://www.investablewealth.com/ukraine-invasion-war-is-profitable/ What the Hell Is Actually Going on in the Ukraine, Jack Spirko Main Topic: Living with War War sucks - and what happens next from our country's leaders to this altercation could have a pretty dramatic impact on our lives. Or very little. And the hell of the matter is that it is entirely out of our control. So, then, how do we live with war? Situational awareness vs obsession (Time is investment) What does war mean if it happens? Profit opportunities (John's email) Terrible loss of life - military activation We are not as tough as we once were and this is a problem If it goes on: supply chain issues for things that are not easily available/made here Violence against us citizens abroad and possibly on us soil What if it doesn't happen? We know something will happen - just not how far the US admin will go If you go all in on "we are going to war" and it does not happen - you lose If you make decisions motivated by fear, they are usually the wrong ones So what do you do? What can you do? Time is an investment. Investing time in learning resilience is something that pays off forever, no matter what happens. Learning new skills will help you if we seriously go to a wwIII scale war. Investing is personal and community stability is worthwhile. Invest in relationships Keep moving your life and your community forward Situational Awareness is key - obsessing on wargames will only undermine your success (Jack Spirko's video) Make it a great week!

Rogue Accelerator Chattanooga Presentation this Thursday - Holler Neighbors Tales from the Prepper Pantry Freezers are full Setting foundation for meat birds this year Cooking during illness Getting set to weather trucker strike shortages Operation Independence Pdc in April Bacon webinar update Main topic of the Show: Underground Networking and Promotion What is underground networking? Why this topic? (Moody) Rogue Food Conference "If I can help let me know" Frustrations and communication If we are going to make an underground network WORK, we need to learn to communicate the important information. Problems Put me in the universe Does not communicate basic information succinctly Where to find more information No clear call to action Graphics are missing or hard to find or use Long tet, not social blurbs Why this is a missed opportunity (IF we all share eachothers podcasts, books, events, and the like we end up with a better ecosystem in which to operate) Solution: Channel your inner Gabby Asks what she wants up front Includes "the skinny" on what she is talking about - in this a case an event with day, location, summary, schedule,price, website) Adds social blurbs for wonder use that can be cut and pasted Adds shareable graphics Offers help for additional needs and interviews, etc. List of blurbs needed in such a post 1 sentence twitter length Facebook or Mewe post length Email blurb Underground networking is more than secret handshakes and selling eachother beef. It is about building our ecosystem and we can do this by cross promoting eachother's work. Our community is ripe for rabid growth John is not wrong. But It doesnt work to expect that someone will just know you are doing a thing. Sending a link to your website is a non starter and most websites are hard to go through to find the skinny. We can all do better and make this happen - start by Making a list of people to reach out to to ask or cross promotion Framing your project in simple terms with all the information in one place Think of it as if you are doing the other person's job to promote it and make it cut and pasteable for them Tailor to the person you are reaching See what happens next.

Today, we talk with Erin Edwards and Alex Martin from Flote.app about the importance of decentralized social media and freedom of speech. They will also share some up and coming things about Flote. Reminder: LFTN Spring Workshop Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 9am Central! Sunday at 8pm: Live with Toolman Tim to discuss getting started with real estate Youtube: https://youtu.be/W-tIpCE4SEk flote.app/user/ToolmanTim/live Pete Quinones Show Show Resources Flote Social Network: Flote.app Main content of the show Freedom of speech is important because if we do not discuss all of our ideas and learn from one another, we never progress. Further, it is immoral to force silence on another person simply because they say things you do not like. Over the past decade, the social media giants have slowly shown that they have no regard for individual rights and have used their large reach to control the social narrative. They silence, bully and erase people after those people have invested time and resources to build followings and businesses using the tools that the big social media giants provide. Erin and Kinglsey Edwards have been fed up with this for a long time. Rather than sit around and complain about it, they launched flote.app, a social network platform that is moving toward decentralized system and encourages freedom of speech. If you set up an account there and say something that Kinglsey does not agree with, you will not be "cancelled'. Instead, people who do not agree with you will discuss it with you. Or not. Their choice. And it is all about choice.This is a previously recorded interview with Erin Edwards and Alex Martin of flote about the importance of free speech, decentralized technology and so much more.

Welcome to Living Free in Tennessee. Today, I discuss what to do when you have an enemy. What an enemy is. And wether or not you can be successful if you do NOT have an an enemy. Live this week!

Pete Quinones Show Main topic of the Show: What to do when you have an enemy? What is an enemy? eResources example Food Forest Farms example Liberty Movement Infighting Example Sour grapes online/death threats, etc What do you do when you get one? Verify that they are the enemy Who is actually the problem? Is their criticism valid? Demolish vs Denature vs Ignore vs Coexist Community protection What if they simply will not go away? Decide which sandbox you wish to be in Sometimes you just gotta punch them in the face e run across people who are envious of what we can do or of what we have. They want to control things that are none of their business. There are people who think that in order to get ahead, they must destroy those who they perceive as ahead of them. We encounter people with low self esteem. And yes, some people are simply evil. The best revenge is to cut their balls off. Remove their power over you. Rarely is this not possible, and when it isnt, it is time to fight. But when it is, there is satisfaction for years and you end up on the moral high ground. Press Enter to send Logan Hyde 7 days ago The definition of enemy is a person who is actively opposed or hostile to someone or something. So I guess the only enemy I have is the state. As far as individuals I think it might be possible to have no enemies. Because in the definition it says "actively oppossed or hostile". This is a very hard question though. I'm going to say it might be impossible to not have enemies because there will always be someone or some group of people that oppose you or your beliefs. Reply Heather Eisele 7 days ago I have one enemy. My own assumptions. Everyone else, I try very hard to meet where they are or avoid them so they don't become enemies. I think back to all I used to believe and how much energy I threw into the various abysses we're told are important and wonder what else I'm throwing energy into that serves nothing. Reply 👍 1 Katie Nicole 7 days ago About 5 years ago my grandfather and I were having a rare talk about his life and the choices he'd made. His life advice to me was a rally cry. With a fist raised in the air and a sly grin he shouted, "MAKE SOME ENEMIES!" 😄 My grandfather is fairly stoic so this was pretty memorable. I've been thinking more about that lately. He and I are on different sides of the political spectrum so I know he didn't mean people who think the opposite of me are my enemies. Or people who disagree with me. My understanding of his advice as it relates to me was more, "Stand up and make noise sometimes. It's not a bad thing to have people oppose you." Opposition can refine one's stance and clarify one's beliefs. In that sense, I find "making enemies" useful. I'm still actively ruminating on the concept. Membership Plug Make it a great week! GUYS!

Feeling defeated/helpless vs acting defeated/helpless Predatory people Self worth and perspective Signs that you are in a victim mindset Seeking reassurance, validation and sympathy for things that happen in your life Thinking or saying "I can't" Feeling like the world is against you and you can do nothing about it Taking things personally that are not that at all Listing reasons why offered solutions will never work Just because you change your mindset, does not mean that bad things will not happen, but you can draw more bad things to yourself based on reactions to current trauma - often through self-sabotage, pushing good people away through blame, etc. What you can do: Identify the self-sabotaging behaviors and decide to change what you can (Your reaction to trauma) Leave or change situations that cause harm to you Learn to find what you can do or take responsibility for when bad things "happen to you" Seek outside help to build emotional intelligence Spend time with empowerers and people who are like what you wish to become and cut out the energy vampires - even if they are blood relatives Prioritize yourself Talk about Mark Alexander and why this topic today: 2 year battle with cancer Never stopped pushing for his dream, to support those around him Gave 110% to every day - even days before his last day Making the most of your dash Could have given up but he lived every second he had Wanna honor Mark's memory?
