048. Why Do YOU Want To Homestead?

048. Why Do YOU Want To Homestead?

Author: Mona Weathers May 30, 2023 Duration: 16:30

Why do you want to homestead? It may seem like a simple question to answer but I think diving a little bit deeper into your reasons for homesteading will make your journey much more enjoyable and purposeful. I think right now it's really easy to get caught up in romanticism.

Social media, movies and tv shows can make us believe the lifestyles we pursue will be 90% romantic and 10% heartache but the truth is, there will be more than 10% heartache and for some people it's much more than 10%

By choosing to have a strong reason for pursuing this lifestyle, not getting caught up in the romanticism and understanding difficult times don't necessarily have to me bad times we can get the most out of our homesteading experience. We can choose to grow and become people who make positive impacts in our communities.

Today I'm talking you through your homesteading why to make sure your journey is laid on a solid foundation.

I'm happy to share that during the month of June the Workshop for Beginner Homesteaders & Dreamers is on sale! The Workshop is a 1 hour and 40 minute video of me walking you through most of the Homesteading for Beginners workbook which is also included in the workshop price.
