What do I mean by Special Sauce I started out as a food blogger – ended up a podcaster and facilitator. How to find it: What do you love? What do you hate? What are your naturally great at? What are you naturally bad at? What do other people tell you you are good at? What have you tried? Why did it succeed or fail? When you are happiest, what are you doing? Why does this make you happy? Wait 2 weeks and review Tear this down to its base elements Ex - happy at the farmers market (great at talking to people, tells good stories, quickly establishes trust, etc) Happy in the Garden (comfortable being alone, excellent observation skills, etc) >>>Go out and try, learn, refine, analyze until you find your Special Sauce or Sauces I started out as a food blogger – ended up a podcaster and facilitator. Used to sing rock n roll Started a food blog (could NOT motivate) Became a facilitator and story expert Tried podcasting for the heck of it Realized some things: Performer, facilitator, teacher and storytelling with a heavy musical/verbal focus = podcasting and teaching, not blogging and WRITING. My special sauce is Story Telling, Connecting People/networking (from others), Reading People/Facilitating. Membership Plug MeWe reminder Make it a great week! Song: GUYS!

Today we have a replay of a recap of what the LFTN community and podcast are all about. Enjoy! Link to old post There are so many new listeners that I thought it would be worthwhile to talk about our tagline: Helping you build the life you choose on your terms. Lots of people think this podcast is about homesteading, about cooking good food, about liberty and freedom – and it is. We do tons on starting and growing your own business, side hustles and more. But when you dig right into things a little deeper, you will discover the LFTN is about choosing the life you want to live, then setting yourself up to go there. The life I choose to live is in the country, but this approach works in the city and all over the world. The hardest part of doing it is accepting that you CAN do it.

This episode was recorded in March 2020 right before lockdowns were enacted. This was the year of the great TP shortage and folks who had never thought about having more than a few days' worth of food on hand were thrust into keeping several weeks on hand. As we turn the corner into supply chain problems, this topic has again arisen. Please enjoy this replay episode on how to build a deep pantry right away rather than over time - which is the better way.

Today is a complement to last Monday's episode on developing a deep pantry. We will discuss lessons learned from two folks who navigated the inflationary period of the 70s, when jobs became scarce, people saw the value of their retirements cut in half, and a savings account was the worst way to preserve wealth.

A tale of two families: Just Starting Out vs Time to Retire Set the context: in 1969, gas was 19 cents a gallon … and rose to 29 cents (50% increase), then kept rising. Policy steps taken - price fixing and rationing. Dad focused on big picture, Mom on the details Preserving wealth (Food and agriculture, government job | HAD to have a side hustle to get ahead. 2 jobs) Interest rates were much higher (Like 11% on a mortgage was a good rate) Unemployment high Realestate investment/rentals Buying low, selling high (trellising wire example, barrels 15-100 (Dowie joke) Kept household expenses down, squeezed pennies from stones (Buying $69/yard fabric for clothing, not $99/yard fabric. Multiple stores to get the cheapest thing because gas was cheaper than food. Always were "fully mortgaged" – robbing peter to pay paul some months on the bills Value From Home Garden Canned foods Buying wholesale eggs Learning to do things from scratch to save "Milk" shake "Cool" whip Spicing up the same old ingredients to add variety Home sewed clothes (we looked funny) Canned beans vs dried beans Dad DIYd everything so we lived better than many Family/Relationships giving a leg up Initial downpayment (Dad's regret) Cobought a cat with his brother then resold Sunday Dinner with the Middlesworths Family would help on large projects Hellmans Mayo - $.43 cents a quart - not is $5 and lost 2 ounces Retired perspective Grandparents sold the farm and had money in the bank - lost 50% of their retirement value because it was in cash Lived quite frugally - RV, from scratch cooking, growing and preserving Did odd jobs (picking fruit, roofing, etc) Bought and sold real estate in Arizona to make up some of the difference Short term bond at 20% story Sum it up - your saving dont mean crap - biggest worry right now is the dollar no longer is the world basis currency: Produce food Trade and barter/DIY when it makes sense Material things hold value better than savings (as long as they are useful) gold vs building materials example Look at different investment vehicles (Check out the wealth steading podcast) Mindset (Buying used vs new) Assets that are not assets - 1 job loss from losing a home example Membership Plug MeWe reminder Make it a great week!

The week ahead: Last Unloose the Goose Episode Wed at 4pm CT Tuesday Live with John Willis 4 Shows a week for April Show Resources Janet's Blog: https://buttercupmade.com/blog Main content of the show My husband and I have lived in Montana for 28 years and for a large part of that time, we "prepped," or "homesteaded," or whatever you want to call it. We have about 30 hens and one very spoiled rooster, raise pigs, and have a large garden and orchard. I can and preserve as much as I am able. We're both in our mid-50s now and starting to realize that we have to do things differently than we did in our 20s and 30s. I thought our experiences might be useful to others. How did we end up in Montana? Did we know we wanted to do this when we came here? How did our homestead evolve? What changes have we had to make because of age?

Today we address an issue: How to quickly develop a deep pantry vs panic prepping. Day after day as the rumors of food shortages abound, I see lists distributed by people who do not appear to have prepped a day in their lives. Usually wheat, beans and rice are heavily featured. Instead of panic buying these items, consider taking an afternoon to develop your deep pantry plan. You will be much happier with the end results if you do.

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!

Homestead living is often romanticized by those outside the lifestyle. Homesteading takes work and choices to live differently than the "norm".

Today, I share with you some best practices on getting your podcasts and events promoted by others. Ever reach out to a personality and them get frustrated when they either did not respond or cross promote your stuff, or they shared the wrong information? This episode will increase your close rate for these sorts of communications. Livestream Thursday: John Willis SelfReliance Festival is in Two weeks Yo! 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. I think you will be surprised Make it a great week! GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.
