Ep. 60 – More Tips on How to Recession Proof Your Life

How to recession proof your life with side hustles and building skills.

More tips from the conversation with Kurt (@LibertyFarmersGuild on Instagram) on how to recession-proof your life:

Develop multiple income streams.
There is some competition in your market? Make a market for yourself by finding your niche.
Build skills while building your business.
As you define success, keep In mind profiting from other forms of capital (besides money) as well.
If you have a system that is failing you need to detect it as fast as possible and make it as self healing as possible.
Everyone should have a side hustle that they like that could be monetized if necessary. A side hustle that is good in the good times and important for building culture.
Use your property as an ag business incubator to help other people get their business off the ground. Co-ops and networking.

“People need to focus on building things that mean something to other people.”

Chestnut seeds for planting, chestnut seedlings, elderberry cuttings, comfrey crowns and root cuttings. Adapted to the Midwest.

Seeds and trees have “memory”. They thrived and reproduced in a certain climate.

Often when you buy chestnut trees or seeds online, you have to buy from nurseries in the Northeast or Southeast US, or the Pacific Northwest.

Take it from us, trees grown in those climates do not do well in Kansas.

Buying from our Kansas homestead, with nut trees grown and adapted to the Midwest, will make them much more likely to be successful on your homestead or in your yard.
