006. 3 Skills to Master First

006. 3 Skills to Master First

Author: Mona Weathers September 9, 2022 Duration: 16:40

Can you guess what the 3 skills might be? Is it gardening? Or maybe sourdough making? Maybe it's chicken keeping? Listen to the podcast to find out. 

I wanted to make sure you know about the Off-Grid Homestead Bundle that will be launching on Sept. 16th and ending on Sept. 25th. If you are listening to this after Sept 25th I'm so sorry you missed it. There's usually a new bundle about every 6 months and I plan to be a part of it again. It's been an amazing experience.

I really don't want you to miss this deal. Part of my job as your mentor and coach is to help you save money. We covered that in the checklist series. This bundle is a way for you to save a lot of money. You will be able to learn a ton of different homesteading skills by having access to over 140 digital books and courses. Plus, you will also get my new Homesteading for Beginners workbook in the bundle. The workbook is a more in-depth guide to getting you started. Over 100 different creators collaborated to put this bundle together.

You may even be following some of them on Instagram, Tiktok and Youtube. Be sure to listen to the end of this episode because a few of the creators have recorded a little bit about the products they have in this bundle. I thought it would be a nice touch for you to hear from a few of the creators themselves.

The topic I am discussing today is about skill building. Homesteading really is about skill building. It's about building skills that allow us to be more self-sufficient and sustainable. It's about having a set of skills that help ourselves, our families and our communities. It has a lot less to do with land size and more to do with how much we choose to produce instead of just consuming.

  • The private community is no longer available. Please keep listening to the podcast for updates on any community Mona's decided to start.
