Profitable Mindset

Click HERE To Attend a FREE training: "3 Steps To Your Profitable Farm in 2022" Today on the podcast you'll meet my client, Elaine, who raises alpacas & flowers in Washington State. She told me "I left a really cushy, well-paying job because I wanted to be running this farm - then this became ungodly hard. Then I found your program and in the last 6 months it's brought me back to this place of enjoying what I'm doing again." Probably similar to you, she's a very driven, hard worker who was on the way to burnout fast. She would spend so much time obsessing over sales and marketing that it would lead to an overbearing feeling of exhaustion (and a slow stream of money into the bank). She would be on social media, posting, selling, and focusing on the negative and feeling drained. On top of that, she would focus the rest of her time trying to do ALL THE THINGS on her infinite to-do list. She had very little patience for anything else and would feel upset or guilty when things weren't all done. ​Hear her story on the podcast today, to learn about the life changing shift that helped her transform her farm and every day life from exhausted to fulfilling. ​Hear how coaching helped her slow down, take good care of herself, and make 77% more revenue. Yes, you read that right. Slow down = make more money. THAT is something that is not spoken about when it comes to managing a farm. Well - it's not spoken of except among my clients. It's becoming more and more the norm that my clients report MORE money with less effort. Many farmers hold a belief that they should be working hard all the time - from the early mornings and late into the nights. But creating a profitable, fulfilling farm won't work that way. You can learn the same skills Elaine learned that made her prioritize herself WITHOUT feeling guilty. The mental and physical relief that Elaine has felt has given her clarity and confidence to carry through the rest of the year with an efficient plan. Click the link above and listen to Elaine's transformation and commit to making it yours, too.

One year ago she joined the 5X Your Farm Sales program and set out to successfully double her sales from $100k to $200K and plans to double again this year. Even though she was in marketing in her corporate executive career, she shares in this episode about how what I teach and coach on is so different than what most people teach about marketing - and how it is driving her success on her farm today. You'll also hear how coaching helped Sherri swiftly overcome a challenging loss this year when she had to rip out an acre & a half of lavender plants. She may have ended this year by doubling her sales - but that's just the beginning! If you have ever dreamed of reinventing yourself and starting your own farm later in life, listen to episode #102 and hear how this can be your dream come true. See you inside. Charlotte

But too many farmers contact me for help because they've figured out how to make money in their business... ...but their farm also sucked all of the joy out of them. And they come to me to announce everything's for sale, they're shutting down, they just don't enjoy what they've built so it's not worth the hard work required. They realized they figured out how to make money - but the business wasn't sustainable over the long run. Your farm can't be fulfilling when it's bleeding the very life out of you. In Episode 101, I address how it's imperative that learning to make money is equally as important as learning to build a farm business you love. Now THAT is sustainable! Answer the questions in the episode and by the end your mind will be blown by the clarity you'll start to see and feel. The first question will guide you through some data that is really crucial to know - and easy to find. I tell you exactly where to find this data that you'll need to make to make informed decisions, so you can stop guessing or hoping. The next couple of questions will tell you exactly what you need to focus on for 2022 and what your projected income is AND what to focus on to get there. You'll have a roadmap for what to say yes to and what to say no to with great confidence. Combine these answers with episode 99, part 1, and you'll be armed with everything you need to make 2022 your most successful year yet - financially AND for the highest quality of life. It's really crucial that you not only build a profitable farm, but also that you build a farm that you feel fulfilled running and owning. It's not sustainable to build a farm that makes money but you're not enjoying getting up and going to work every day. it takes conscientious intentional effort to build a business you LOVE and it makes money. And THIS podcast episode is the roadmap to making that happen. CLICK the play button at the top and tune in. See you inside, Charlotte PS: Listen to Episode 101 today.

As I get older I notice the "things" I cherish most in life are my close relationships. Studies even show that our level of life-fulfillment directly correlates to how connected and close we feel to people in our lives. Isn't that fascinating - that the depth of your relationships is what determines life-fulfillment!! AND, another fascinating thing - having deeply connected relationships is a learned skill. A skill we aren't taught anywhere in our life, usually. We usually wait 'til a relationship is broken to go get help - and by then it's often too late. I coach on relationships a lot because the truth is, lack of relationship skills is also standing in the way of our business success. Well, today I've got help. This is the 100th episode of the Profitable Mindset podcast and I wanted to do something super special to celebrate and to help you get more fulfillment in life too. So today my special guest is my youngest child, my 15 yr old daughter Shivan, and two of her friends. I wanted to get their perspective of what makes them feel connected - or disconnected - from their parents. And what they told me was absolute gold!! Tune in and learn what's helped me communicate better with my kids so that now we have the most fulfilling relationship. This means I have THE most fulfilling life I could possibly imagine!! I tell you, having a 15-year-old who feels safe telling me everything that's going on in her life, knowing she can talk to me about anything, is so precious to me. I never got to have this kind of relationship with my parents - they just didn't know how. So I value even more that I get to have this open, honest relationship of acceptance with my kids that wasn't available to me. And if you're thinking it's easy for me and my daughter to have a good relationship because we're so alike and therefore it'll be totally different for you - I can tell you, the opposite is true. I had her when I was 40 years old so there's even more than a generation gap. I can't even imagine where she got exposed to some of the ideas she presents! But she addresses this in the episode - how can she and I have such a deeply connected relationship even though she believes and does things so foreign to me sometimes. Click HERE to tune in and give it a try. Don't have kids? What we talk about in this episode applies to all your relationships, even your spouse, parents, customers, employees. See you in episode 100! Happy Holidays, Charlotte Click the link above to listen to Episode 100!

It's usually this time of year many of my clients start to panic and think… "It's almost the end of the year, where in the world did the time go?" "What did I actually get done this year?" ("not enough") "Did we make enough to get through the winter?" "What projects were left unfinished?" "How do I make next year better?" After they freak out a bit on a coaching call, I remind them they are armed with a plan and strategy for 2022. Part 1 of this unique marketing plan you've probably never heard of before is below: Click the link above to listen to part 1 and get started planning your most profitable year ever. Over the years, I've learned a thing or two about building a marketing strategy that will consistently bring in new customers and help me make more money. It starts with you answering some questions that are designed to make sure you're creating not only a profitable business, but a business that is fulfilling. A lot of farmers will hustle to get to profit but they're still scattered and worn down because they didn't know they have to start off the bat loving their business in order to still love it when they get to profit. You won't make that mistake if you follow the 7 Step business marketing plan I create every year for the last 5 years. If you're already not loving your business, this plan will help you turn that around. There IS hope. Tune in and listen to part 1, answer the questions I ask in the episode, and you'll feel more in control and inspired by the end of the 30 minutes.

She knew from our coaching that her sales and marketing were being scattered and diluted with all the different products they sold - chickens, pork, vegetables and more. So last May she decided to make her farm profitable by focusing on one thing and we coached on all the fear around that. It worked. With her newfound confidence from her weekly coaching calls, she raised her prices and started making money. Finally making a profit. The farm is now paying for itself AND she's banking a profit. Sounds amazing, right? But what happened next is why she continues coming back to be coached each week - as soon as you set new, bigger goals, your brain is wired to be fearful. She's making money, paying the bills, banking the extra, and she STILL feels an overwhelming feeling of doubt about her ability to pay the land payment. This debilitating fear is totally normal when you're building a business - but so many farmers use it against themselves instead of getting coached to manage it. Maggie's fear drove her to get a part-time job (in addition to full-time raising 5 kids AND running the farm). She didn't really have time for that job, eh? If she hadn't nipped this fear in the bud in our last coaching session, she would've proven the fear true and spread her resources - again - and NOT been able to make the payments. Hear how she did it in TODAY's episode of the Profitable Mindset. You'll learn about the superpower we develop in 5X Your Farm Sales and how you can apply it to your farm. Enjoy, Charlotte

Get on the waitlist for 5X Your Farm Sales: charlottemsmith.com/waitlist Last week a farmer came to our weekly coaching call in 5X Your Farm Sales super frustrated at all the messes around her farm. This bugs her all the time. Spools of wire left on the ground after fence-fixing, hay not raked up correctly after feeding, half-finished projects - all of this constant clutter was making her feel angry and frustrated. Living in this constant state of frustration makes her snappy with people around her. Feeling angry about it makes her unhappy throughout her days. She can't problem solve to get messes cleaned up when she's making herself frustrated. And she's not alone - this comes up frequently in our coaching group. THAT'S where we've gotta start in getting you to more success. We've got to start with cleaning up your mind in how you're thinking about all that's going on around your farm. I want you to really hear that - you can't get the messes cleaned up and organized when you're keeping yourself frustrated over them. Sure, you can yell louder one day and everyone gets into gear (uh oh, she means business today) and they'll pick up. But the messes start piling back up shortly. Because these constant states of overwhelm, anxiety, anger, frustration are keeping you from enjoying your day. AND this constant negative emotion stops you from making money. Hear that - you can't make money, you can't build a profitable farm, when you're feeling angry, resentful, anxious, overwhelmed - or any of the other bad feelings. And that's something we solve for daily coaching in 5X Your Farm Sales AND here on the podcast. Tune in to Episode 97 where I show you how to finally free yourself from feeling terrible by shifting just one thing in your life. It's simple. Notice - I'm not saying it's easy - but it IS simple. Then, with practice in the coaching group, it gets easy. My clients in my coaching program are finally learning how to feel good throughout their days no matter what extraordinary circumstances are going on - no matter who left what mess lying around. They're learning to solve for their bad feelings AND subsequently figure out how to get the place cleaned up AND THEN they can make money. Click HERE to listen to Episode 97 and learn how to feel free, in control, just by shifting your mindset AND THEN... success follows. Warmly, Charlotte

Get on the waitlist for 5X Your Farm Sales: https://champoegcreamery.lpages.co/5x-waitlist-nov-2021/ Last week, three farmers in a row came to me for help with the same problem. One farmer was vaccinating sheep with her husband, she didn't shut the gate fast enough and a ewe got through. Her husband yelled and was making her extremely anxious. Another's husband made her super frustrated when he went to make a delivery and forgot a couple of people's orders. Again. The third farmer's husband made her anxious and guilty while they were doctoring an injured cow. Farmers show up to our coaching calls knowing I will help them. They want me to help them NOT feel frustrated, angry or anxious. And I do. But not in the way you or they expect. The coaching I offer them always surprises them. They come wanting to figure out how to get their husbands to stop making them feel so bad. And I for sure help them to do that - but it is 180° from what you're thinking will happen. Listen to today's episode, #96, to hear how to finally stop being triggered by your spouse or partner on the farm.

Learn to 5X Your Farm Sales in LESS Time Here: https://courses.3cowmarketing.com/5x-farm-sales There is a process to managing your time so you can build a profitable farm. Everyone can learn it. But very few (if any?) are teaching it. Until now. The 5X Your Farm Sales Coaching Program for farmers has mastered the process of teaching you to calm your mind and life down so you can focus on getting to profit. Lori Hernandez has learned this process working with me over the last year and made MORE money working fewer hours than ever. Hear her story on the podcast today, then join her in learning how time is created and applying it in your life. Like so many of you, Lori came to me overwhelmed by everything that had to be done on her farm. She spent her days frantic, harried, working LONG days and still not feeling accomplished at the end of her days. She was sacrificing her family life - working from home on the farm, but feeling guilty she was not at all present with her husband and kids. She knew she and her family would continue to suffer if she didn't change something in the way she was spending her days. She joined my program a year ago and learned how to create margin in her lives, how to create breathing room between farm projects, and discovered 10-20 more hours in each week doing so. She now has Sundays & Mondays off and part of Saturdays. Now THAT ^^^ is unheard of among farmers. But it doesn't have to be that way. You can learn the same skills Lori learned that made her more money than ever this season working fewer hours than ever before. You learn this when you join 5X Your Farm Sales. We start with "Master Your Time, Master Your Life" where you'll learn to create time and go through your days with calm and balance. You'll take your marketing to the highest level studying Advanced Marketing Strategies. You'll have my ongoing coaching support each week. You'll become a thought leader. You'll become a mature business owner. You'll set goals and deadlines and strategically plan and execute them. You'll finish your day at the reasonable time you pre-determine and you'll be a person who follows through on this commitment to yourself. No matter how many times you've studied my work, my marketing courses, my time management processes, you need to constantly re-apply this information. Because the process never changes, but YOU change and you must hone the process. We work together for one year. Many clients return year after year as they grow and fine-tune themselves and their farms. You are invited to join 5X Your Farm Sales and master this process of calming your life down, creating more time and building your profitable farm. See you inside. Charlotte Listen to how Lori went from sacrificing time with her family to thinking like a leader in her business. THEN join her and me in learning and applying the process.

Free Training - 4 Simple Steps to Create More Time https://3cowmarketing.mykajabi.com/more-time Are you running your farm or is your farm running you? I ask because farmers regularly tell me they're being pulled in all different directions by everything, everyone AND their dog (literally - sometimes their dog ). What if I told you there's a way to finally take control and freely move through your day, calmly, with plenty of time for everything - including time for you? There are things you're doing in your day that are preventing you from feeling in-control - things that you can learn to let go of so you can build a successful, sustainable life and business. Episode 94 shows you what you're doing to waste time. So many of my 5X Coaching Clients are finally recognizing the seven ways their wasting precious time. Once they're aware, then they're able to stop. This means, they take back control of their life and farm and are finding time to calmly get things done and make money. You can do this too - take back control, feel calm and focused, and start making money. To take back control you've got to get a few things in order, first. Most important, episode 94 outlines 7 key things most people are doing that waste HOURS of their time each day. Listen to episode 94 now to learn what you're doing that's wasting your one precious life so you can finally free up time to do what you want. I know you'll probably relate to several, if not all seven. Once you become aware of these seven things, you'll be able to eliminate them and get your time back for the things that really matter. Things that really matter, like, precious family time and creating a successful farm business. Warmly, Charlotte

Get on the waitlist for 5X Your Farm Sales opening up soon: https://courses.3cowmarketing.com/5x-farm-sales Recently I had a client come to me feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with the disorganization and chaos in her office. I hear this struggle from a lot of you and I coach on it often! As farmers, we get pulled between the enormous amount of farm work outside. And of course, we've got houses to keep clean and often, families to feed. Then there's our marketing we aren't getting to like we want, and then of course things pile up. The problem with feeling overwhelmed and frustrated is it will NEVER drive the action of cleaning up the office. Or cleaning up anything at all! When you create feelings of overwhelm and frustration, you'll find yourself avoiding the very task you think is causing it. Avoiding it by going out and working in the barn or fixing a fence or packing orders. This means, the original overwhelm-inducing project never gets done. And the overwhelm and frustration continue every time you look at it or think about it. In Episode 91, I will show you exactly how to remedy this. Remember, "You can't build a profitable farm that is also sustainable and fulfilling unless you clean up all these little areas of your life, it's all these little things that add up to you having a profitable farm and life." (episode 91) Listen to Episode 91 now, to discover how to confront your brain's sneaky way of making you feel bad. I'll walk you through just how to tackle all the teeny tiny tasks causing you anxiety in an easier, more peaceful way. Warmly, Charlotte

Click Link Below to 5X Your Farm Sales: https://courses.3cowmarketing.com/5x-farm-sales There are two most common problem farmers start coaching with me to solve. You're not making enough money. You're struggling with overwhelm - not having enough time or money or resources so things aren't getting done. Some tell me they're hemorrhaging money! Yet you can't afford to hire help to lessen the overwhelm. And part of the problem is, you just aren't charging enough to make it all worth it. Our family farms usually don't have the economy of scale that the industrial farms have, so we have to charge more than the grocery store, for instance, to make a profit. Yet most don't. And when I ask why not - you have a multitude of reasons, probably all the ones you'll hear on the podcast today! Before you can successfully raise your prices, you've got to know why you're not raising your prices - otherwise, your biggest fear will come true - that you'll lose customers. I go over all of this, in detail, in this week's podcast episode. The 4 Steps I teach in today's episode will help you gain the confidence to raise your prices and NOT lose customers. I teach you how. Listen to this week's episode to learn.

Click Link Below to 5X Your Farm Sales: https://courses.3cowmarketing.com/5x-farm-sales My client created this amazing pricing course for new flower farmers that would save them 2-3 years of losing money. There's nothing like it in the industry - she's sitting on a gold mine of knowledge and help for flower farmers! Yet, she's not selling it. She's not putting it out there. I asked her why in Episode 86. She said, "I doubt if it's good enough. I worry people won't buy it. I'm afraid flower industry experts might question it." You might think those are normal thoughts everyone has. And they often are. Yet when she allows herself to think them, she spins on trying to improve the product. Trying to make it good enough. Trying to do anything to prevent the possibility of an expert criticizing it. Which means, it's still 'sitting on the shelf' not getting out there. And every day it sits on the shelf she's not making money and neither are the new flower farmers that need this info. She's stuck. NOT because the product isn't good enough. But because of her thought. These same thoughts are causing many of us to NOT put our products out there. And for sure, to NOT price them sustainably! This problem is so common because we often think that fine-tuning the product is the problem. But the product is never the problem. It's only her thinking that's the problem. The solution? It's clearly laid out in today's episode. Click HERE to listen. And remember. This is what we do in 5X Your Farm Sales. I coach you to get to the REAL problem and to fix it once and for all. Then you finally stop doubting, stop the worry, stop the incessant perfecting - and get it out there and start building your profitable farm. Your thoughts are what will keep your farm from success. Your thoughts are what makes your farm successful. It's NOT having the best product. Or having it priced just right. Or the best farming practices. You need to learn this skill of intentionally creating the results you want in life. Tune into Episode 86 to start now.

Get on the waitlist for 5X Your Farm Sales: https://courses.3cowmarketing.com/5x-farm-sales The first step in me teaching you how to make money on your farm is showing you that your reasons YOU THINK you're not profitable... aren't the real reasons. Your website, the location you live, your products not being "right", not being able to raise your prices - are NOT WHY your farm isn't making money. The ONLY thing in the way of you making a profit on your farm - is YOU. Lemme explain. Truth is, your farm will only be as successful as your thoughts about yourself. Wild concept, right?? But we now have the research showing us why/how some people get to great success and many don't. In order to build a successful, profitable farm, you first have to have a strong belief in you. Yourself. This is not a skill we're born with, you've gotta learn it. And, lucky you, this is the work I do. Today's culture has taught us we have to prove our worth and ability in order to deserve to charge the price we need. We think we're being "humble" when we're self-deprecating. We're taught we don't want people to think WE think too highly of ourselves!! But - as cute as it is in a group of people, it's keeping you at a low level of success. If your self concept is not strong, your business won't be either. This self-belief is where I start with all my clients who want more success in their business. If I just teach them my advanced marketing strategies without increasing their self-belief first, the strategies don't work. You already suspect this. You know you're posting and emailing and doing videos - and taking all the actions you see others doing - and your actions are NOT resulting in a farm business with an ample profit margin. Again, your ample profit margin will only be the result AFTER you get your belief in yourself set. Once my clients up-level their belief in themselves (I teach you how) - more profit CAN be instantaneous. From their new place of believing in themselves (a learned skill) their flyers and emails and social media posts - create massive financial gains. Remember - it's NOT your products, your farming practices, your website, your location OR YOUR SPOUSE holding you back from being profitable. It's one thing and one thing only. Fix this, you're golden. I see this evidence daily with my clients. In this episode, I teach you 3 Strategies to Overcome Your Biggest Obstacle to Building a Profitable Farm. It takes a certain level of vulnerability and bravery to finally make the decision to do the work on yourself. Most people won't. Will you? Be sure to listen to this week's episode. Warmly, Charlotte PS: Plan on working with me in "5X Your Farm Sales" starting in September. We start with strengthening your belief in YOU.

Get on the waitlist to 5X Your Farm Sales: https://courses.3cowmarketing.com/5x-farm-sales Farmers often reach out to me for help, disappointed their website is not making them more sales. Doesn't matter what platform they have - they ALL can work. The platform is NOT the problem. There is no "perfect website platform" that when you find it then you'll FINALLY make money. It's the content you build into your site that matters - and the people building your website are not going to know this info. That's not their job. It's your job to learn, and this is what I teach you. In today's podcast episode I teach you 3 very simple tweaks I see missing from most farm websites. You can make these tweaks today and get your website on track to perform when you use the marketing strategy I teach. I understand you might be skeptical of this - why is no one else telling you about these crucial strategies? Listen, there're expert website strategists that will help you get it pretty, that comes first. Next comes my boots-on-the-ground experience with hundreds of farmers over the last decade. I know what works. I know what doesn't work. From years of experience reviewing and tweaking hundreds of websites now making my clients collectively millions of dollars. I now know first-hand what works to make sure a potential customer lands on your site and takes the action you want them to take. Make these changes to your site and then bring it to my Advanced Marketing Strategies program for a review to continue improving and up-leveling. Let's finally get your website doing what it's supposed to do - making you consistent sales on your farm. Listen now to learn and implement the 3 simple tweaks. That's just the start of your profitable farm.

You excitedly share your dreams and visions with your partner and family. Everyone's cheering you on! Until at some point, they question you. Or they doubt your vision. Or they wonder "will it really work?" and "when's this going to pay off?" Cue your immediate feelings of deflated, disappointed, defeated and totally unsupported! Suddenly, their response to your BIG exciting vision starts to make you feel like… 😥Your dream is fading away 😥You're all alone in the business 😥You feel deflated That's exactly what happened to one of my clients when she didn't feel like her husband was supporting her. As a matter of fact, she told me it felt like a 'bait and switch' because he was so encouraging at the beginning! She's not alone - it's a topic clients are bringing to coaching calls regularly: feeling unsupported and deflated by their partners and family. But let me tell you something about your farm dream… You'll learn in today's podcast episode that you don't have to let a person's comments or behaviors deflate you or make you feel unsupported. When you learn to shift your thoughts to some that are WAY more useful and productive, no one will ever "deflate" you again. You're 100% in control of feeling supported - today's episode explains how. That's why I want to help you learn, 3 Steps to Feeling More Supported By Those Around You. When you make the emotional shift in yourself to feel differently about what's happening around you, you're telling those dream snatchers to… Scoot on over! You're in the driver's seat.

So many of my clients come to me at first, frustrated they've been doing all the things and still aren't making money. The first thing I do is ask a series of questions that identifies exactly what's in the way of them making money. When you pressure your farm, yourself, to… Make money Breakeven Reach 6 figures in one year ...you're actually hindering your farm's growth and profitability. Because here's the thing, It's not your business' job to serve you by becoming profitable or even breakeven. It's YOUR job to serve your business by growing the skills needed to make it profitable. There's so many ways you can do that. And I want to chat with you more about it in my new podcast episode, the one mistake that prevents your farm from paying for itself. But I can tell you right now, it's not worrying about how much money you're making. Or frantically and prematurely coming up with strategies to do so. How about, instead, you focus on investing in the UDDER-ly (😉) amazing CEO that you are. Cause you are! And when you take ownership of that, you are going to see results. No doubt. Tune in today to learn how to finally get your farm to profit.

Book a free strategy session to see if coaching is right for you: https://calendly.com/csmith3cow/strategy-session?month=2021-07 Every week I coach more than one farmer on feeling afraid to put themselves "out there." It sounds like this: I'm afraid I'll let people down But people will be disappointed I don't like how I look/sound on camera I'm afraid people will criticize my… (fill in the blank - prices, farming practices, that I took a vacation, think I look frumpy, and on and on) Does that sound like you? Listen, I know putting yourself out there is scary! But - you have to get over it if you want to be around for the long run. Sounds so easy. And I know it's not - because to get over it, you actually have to go through it and do it and feel the fear anyway! And THAT sounds so scary! This fear of what others may think of you sounds like a valid fear, but what if it isn't? The truth is, EVERYONE is going to have an opinion. Sometimes even more than one. And - what if I told you, their opinion is none of your business? 'Cuz it isn't your business. It isn't even about you. It's about them, where they're at that day, what season of life they're in, what they had for breakfast. What they think of you or your marketing is out of your control. And when you put the focus on what their opinions might be, you're actually making it about you… instead of serving them. Friend, don't get down on yourself for this - we ALL do it. It's a problem for my clients because worrying about what people will think about their marketing or prices or farming or family is holding them back from making money. This fear is keeping them stuck and small. When you fear what others might think of you, then when you DO post or email, you're not even showing up as you! You're presenting your customers and followers with a version of you that isn't even the real you. Because that self is based on what you think they might want to see or hear. So the "you" they like is not even the real you! See how we twist ourselves into knots trying to pretend we're something we're not so people will like us? So, how can we change this pattern of fear of what people think? The solution is to shift your thinking. Simple as that? Yes. Easy? Maybe not, but that's why I'm here. I'll help you navigate that. Tune into this week's episode, I'll help you start the process. Charlotte

What would you do with your time? Take a vacation? Spend time with your kids? Find a hobby?! (Or invest more time into a hobby?) Visit with your neighbor? Okay! Daydream over... You own a farm. How in God's green earth could you possibly work any less? Maybe you're on the other end of the spectrum where, actually, even thinking about taking time off or working fewer hours sounds absolutely ludicrous and sends you into a whirlwind of anxiety! Either way, I'm here to tell you to - GET OFF THE HAMSTER WHEEL! The reality is, farmers are OVERWHELMED. Working too hard. Scatterbrained and can't seem to focus. Consumed with tasks that seem important but actually are holding them back. You know what I mean? Answering emails Working in the barns & fields & beds Spending WAY too much time on Facebook because they aren't sure what to do next… I've seen far too much of this. And what you need is - an intervention. It may sound extreme, but to combat the busy syndrome you have to tap into the brain and re-teach it how to rest. Charlotte from the past would tell you it's impossible! But I've put in the work and can confidently say that it is SO worth it and 100% possible. You deserve to wake up in the morning and realize that you're fulfilled and calm. Even though you still have a busy farm & family. You also deserve to know you've broken it off with the rat race and have ZERO guilt. In this episode of the podcast, I teach you, How To Slow Down On the Farm and Get Things Done. Because you don't have to sacrifice time for success. Once you understand that, you'll be able to kick those boots off, sit back, and appreciate your hard work. Listen to Episode 80 HERE. Love & Rest, Charlotte

Book a free strategy session to see if the program is right for you: https://calendly.com/csmith3cow/strategy-session?month=2021-07 Many of us think the diversified farm is the pinnacle of farming. Tons of research shows us how good it is for the land. But you gotta earn the right to have a diversified farm. What do I mean by that? You earn the right by proving you can be successful & profitable with ONE species or product line before you can expand to two. Or four. Or six. Here's the thing, if you don't learn what it takes to sell ONE product successfully with a healthy profit margin first, then when you add a second, you'll go broke OR you'll forever be pumping money into your business from your day job. Your diversified farm will do you in if you diversify before learning the skill of being profitable. Diversification of products dilutes your marketing. So you've got to have your marketing dialed in hard on the one product and working to bring you lots of profit before ever expanding to the second. Most farmers fall in the trap of not having success selling their first product and they think the solution is to add another. For instance, they start with 500 meat chickens and can't quite sell them out. So they add pigs, thinking now they'll attract more people who want pork AND chicken. Soon they're not selling enough of both at a high enough price, so they think for sure when they add raw milk (or vegetables, or flowers) THEN they'll sell and make money. But it doesn't work that way. It's about this point they realize they're bleeding money and they decide to reach out to me for help figuring out why they aren't making money. I teach them how and support them in scaling back down until they're strongly profitable with one focus. Listen to this week's episode to learn how to focus and build profit and THEN expand. Once you nail this, you'll be making a profit, finally be fulfilled and enjoy the luxury of time - I promise! And, you're welcome. Charlotte

I'm told daily things like: "I never know what to post!" "Who am I to tell them to buy my stuff?" "What if I turn people off?" Sound familiar? I can confidently say that everyone shares the same struggle at one point or another. Because here's the thing, friend… As effective as Social Media CAN be to make lots of sales, it also holds a whole lotta power over us. Social Media has the power, by design, to trigger stress and anxiety, addiction-like behaviors, and feeling like everyone else is doing it right on social media and you're not! Yes, sitting with phone-in-hand trying to come up with the perfect caption for the day - is designed to trigger your fight or flight response. The problem is, when you go into fight or flight your brain shuts down which means - you can't come up with the right thing to say and you're scared of rejection! If you're reading this with eyes wide and heart pounding because I'm describing YOU - You need help ASAP. But don't panic! The good news is that social media is not happening TO you. But you're going to have to put in some work to train your brain how to confidently and effectively combat the social media triggers that are wired in place right now. In this episode I'm going to teach you 3 Steps To Get Better Results With Your Social Media Marketing! Aka. gain your POWER back. Why? Because you deserve it, your business is counting on it, and your customers need to hear from you. Pretty soon, your life is going to feel so relaxed and calm, EVEN THOUGH your stress and anxiety-inducing situations may not have changed.

"Your cows are in my front yard." Cue gallons of adrenaline and cortisol running through my body! Anxiety? You betcha. Or maybe more like being hooked up directly to the electric fence charger! Here I was half a continent away, nothing I could do about it. This is an unusual circumstance, maybe, but anxiety is an all-too-common issue farmers bring to me in our coaching sessions daily. It's more like, "we sold out of all our meat during COVID and we're still not making money." Or, "I'm working from 6 AM to 11 PM when I fall into bed exhausted and we're still not getting it all done." Anxiety is a UNIVERSAL emotion that we all have to deal with every single day living on our farms. But some deal with it better than others. I was one of those who didn't know how to deal with anxiety in a healthy way for SUCH a long time. I share my own battle with anxiety in a little more detail in this week's episode, but what I will tell you is that if you don't learn how to manage anxiety it has the potential to break you. I want you to understand that you CAN OVERCOME! And when I say overcome, don't misunderstand me. Many may think if you overcome it once you'll never have to deal with it again. But that's not the case. In this episode I'm going to teach you the one critical skill to manage your anxiety right NOW. After listening to this episode, you'll find it a little easier to breathe. Not because your anxiety has been "cured", but because you now know HOW to manage it in a way that doesn't let it control you! Remember: YOU CAN and WILL OVERCOME! This very episode WILL change your life. Don't miss out! Listen to episode #77 right now! Warmly, Charlotte

Or too stressful. Or, they just feel frustrated like nothing's going right. Does any of this sound like you? Then we gotta talk! The truth is, It's easy to believe that everyone and everything else is the cause of your feeling overwhelmed, stressed and like a failure. In today's episode, my client thought the vendor canceling her contract that was to begin in 2 weeks was causing her terrible feelings of frustration and betrayal. But what if that's not true? Truth is, the negative feelings you're experiencing right now has less to do with the vendor canceling and everything to do with your thoughts about the circumstance. That is GREAT news. Because if you're the one in control of how you feel, and nothing outside of you can make you feel bad, then YOU'RE the one in control of feeling better. Yes, you are totally in control of feeling better even when tough things happen. So, now what? In this episode you will… Learn to shift your MINDSET so you can feel better now Discover the 5 steps to managing farm interruptions and even catastrophes with ease Finally focus on the things that matter!

But what if I told you that's NOT what you're really selling? You see, those products are commodities. You can get them at any grocery (or even convenience) store! So why would customers go out of their way - and pay MORE - for your products? Not because it's meat, milk, flowers or veggies from YOUR special farm. Instead, they buy from you because of what it does for them. Either the problem it solves OR the goal it helps them reach. THAT's what you're really selling! So then - "how do I know what my product does for people?" There's no special trick y'all. I just ask them in a very specific way! When a customer is buying something from you, it's a perfect opportunity for you to talk with them, which makes them feel amazing. And when you make them feel amazing, they want to buy from you. In the last few episodes of the podcast, I've been going deeper into the concepts from my book, Farm Marketing From the Heart. Today we are going to put ourselves in our customer's shoes which builds trust. Tune in to this episode,where I dive into why you need to be selling so much more than the products you produce. In this episode, I'm talking all about: The key to knowing what to post about that will get them to purchase How to get people to consistently shop with you vs. someplace more convenient How to figure out what your customers really want from you The game-changing task my employees complete each day The crucial perspective to remember {{ subscriber.first_name }}, what you are selling is NOT what you think you're selling. It's NOT your products you're selling. When you embrace the mindset that you aren't selling flowers or beef or eggs or milk, but instead you're selling a solution that your dream customer is desperate for --- you will create that loyal customer base you're looking for - one who never questions your price. Tune in now and learn how to make customers feel so deeply connected to you that they can't wait to call you their farmer and support you.

Go to 3cowmarketing.com/coaching to 5X Your Farm Sales! https://courses.3cowmarketing.com/5x-farm-sales Let me ask you...Why did you get into the farm business? Most of us will say that we get into the business because we love it so much. We want to help people. We want to restore the land. We love the lifestyle. We love the idea of eating our farm-fresh food every night. THAT'S why we start a farm. But it's not what makes our farm successful. I am sharing how in order to be successful, we don't have to ignore that part of ourselves that yearns for this connection to the land, and a connection to what we do, and a connection to helping people. This love of the land and love of helping people that makes us such incredible farmers is also what makes us inherently good at marketing and selling our products. Tune into this episode, where I share how your farm marketing must reflect your desire to help people and connect with people through the words you write, and how your passion becomes your best resource when marketing to your customers. In this episode, I'm talking all about: Why you need to create a reliable system to attract the right customers, build a connection with them, and retain them from year to year. The one skill I teach that will guarantee your success. The one question that will make you LOVE (vs. hate) marketing. The problem with the thought 'build it and they will come.' A technique to naturally develop your customers' deep trust. You can totally build a customer base that values what you do, respects your hard work, and is happy to pay your prices. You can use your love of farming and harness that into a marketing strategy that builds trust and shares your passion with your customers. Soon you will find that the love of farming that was burning in you when you started your farm can drive the desire to serve your customers. This is part 2 of a series all about how marketing and mindset work together to build a profitable farm. Keep listening and remember; when you keep in touch with your customers in a way that shows them they matter to you, they will trust you and they will keep coming back.

"How do I find MORE customers to buy our products?" -or- "How do I get people to come back each season?" Most people come to me for marketing help with some version of this question.

There is a misconception that building your farm should only feel challenging sometimes, but not all of the time, that at some point it should become easy. So many of my clients have this crazy desire to build their business, to be successful, and to live this farming lifestyle. But, where they get tripped up is in the idea that it shouldn't be as hard as it is. That's not true, folks. I believe and experience that any dream or goal you want in life is an invitation to grow.

Most farmers I know are not charging enough to generate a healthy profit and be sustainable, which causes so many problems in our businesses.

Here's what it does: "Rather than standing around on a cold winter Saturday *hoping* for sales and making only $40, we had already reached out to our people and we *knew* they were coming for our products, making $250-$500. We are getting more for wholesale eggs than most folks are getting retail. By the end of April, we had already made more money selling eggs than we did for the entire year last year!" -Teddi Click here to check out 5x Your Farm Sales, a Marketing and Mindset Course for Farmers.

Click Here to Read All About Marketing & Mindset Mastery: https://3cowmarketing.mykajabi.com/mmm My client came to me for coaching to feel better and to figure out how to get her farm more profitable. We've been working together since January. She is now on track to make a million dollars on her farm this year. That's SEVERAL times what she was making before this year. You'd think my work with her is done. But nope. Guess what happens at each new level you attain? MORE struggles come up. And her struggle? Now she's feeling guilty for making so much money! If you feel guilty then the actions you take will sabotage your money-making, and sales/profit will drop. Period. I see it all the time with farmers. But you can't just STOP FEELING GUILTY. Our brains don't work that way. You can't just STOP negative emotions that are keeping you stuck. You need to learn how to manage your mindset so those emotions disappear and can be replaced by more useful emotions. This might sound like a lot of work. But guess what? It took us all of about 5 minutes for her guilt to disappear and transform into compassion, joy and gratitude. Now she has embraced she can be an example to other farmers that you CAN make money as a farmer. And it CAN be easy. And she's LOVING embracing that as her purpose. She did this because I'm trained and skilled at eliciting from your brain what's holding you back from feeling amazing no matter what AND making lots of money AND creating a sustainable life. Let me help you in the same way, {{ subscriber.first_name }}. You'll find my help inside my new coaching program, Marketing and Mindset Mastery. Click HERE to read all about it and let's get started. This work is the most important work you will do in your life. Period. That's what my clients tell me; that's my personal experience, too. It might be the most challenging work you ever do - but worth it. Worth every tear. And there are lots of tears when we're growing. There's so much magic waiting for you in your life you're living now. If you doubt - try to suspend that doubt for a bit, be open to the possibility that you don't have to change any circumstance in your life to feel that magic. You can find it - it's there for you.
