Main topic of the Show:
Usually when I talk about this topic, I am explaining how to transform your home from something that costs you money into something that brings YOU money - or at least pays for itself. A cornerstone of homesteading is finding ways to create value from your home no matter if you have 20 acres and a flock of sheep or if you live on a small urban lot or apartment, there are ways to glean value from your home.
But today, we have a different perspective. Remember how I said it is the many small choices you make each day that matter much more than the ones that seem huge?
>Roaster story vs. spending an extra hour each day communicating about what Holler Roast has to offer for the holidays
>Building a root cellar vs making your meal plan each day or week BEFORE you are hungry
Which brings me to today’s true purpose: Your home provides a solid foundation for your success when done right, and it can hinder your progress if done poorly. #funfacts
Look at power couples: often one addresses the domestic foundation either through personal attention or outsourcing so that the other is freed to focus on financial success - but both are successful at what they do.
Each day, we need some things to happen and this list can be different for everyone, but there are themes:
- Proper sleep and activity
- Nutritious food and hydration
- Clean clothing, grooming, etc
- Systems for finding information, managing things that happen
And for the solopreneur: Uninterrupted time to accomplish important tasks (I would say this is necessary for everyone, really) which means nOt hAvinG tO Put oUt fYres aLL tHe thYme.)
Why I am thinking about this topic:
- I had things set pretty much
Why is this a thing?
- CEO Story: Leaving on trips to close deals - the extreme example
- Home chef for Scott - the intermediate example
- Your domestic situation vastly impacts your day. It sets wether you are tired, healthy, put together, worried and so much more - so while it may seem counter intuitive, puttin attention to your home and how it supports your priorities is rarely discussed but very important.
SOE Land: the brilliance of the Employee Lunch
Thoughts on a MESSY vs a CLEANY and how to transform your home into something that works for you (Choose standards you are OK with vs museum standards – or embrace your museumness)
Things you can do to address this - my initial list while I put my life back together
- Follow One Course Until Successful
- Bill and filing system
- Laundry mountain
- The one messy room
- Backlog balance
- Remember to eat on plan
- Etc
- Journaling to identify what is most important - it may be personal habits, it may be a spatial issue
- You make space for what is important to you - are you making space for success or failure
- Phone a friend
