Thriving the Future Podcast Ep. 57 – Tough Times Call for Tough Decisions

Recession and Adversity – Dark Clouds with Silver Linings.

Continuing our series on handling adversity, Matt from FarmHopLife and I discuss how to handle changes and turmoil at your job and in life. And how he is dealing with making the tough decisions about job, health.

Changes in his job.
Will Matt be able to continue his 20×23 project?? His original plan was to travel around to farms and homesteads to lend a hand with whatever the owners need from us in order to finish a project, plant hundreds of trees, harvest plants, process livestock.
We talk about side hustles – Hard times create opportunities, both in the job market and even more so with side hustles.
How to handle changes and turmoil at your job.
Plus some job hunting and interview tips.

Tough times, and layoffs are coming.

Reality check: At your work, right now, at the end of the year they do the budgets for the next year. There is a pause there as they re-evaluate what they are going to do. Now is a good time for YOU to also take the winter pause over the holidays, to re-evaluate where you are at, where you are going. Reminder that your job is a means to an end – but what are you doing to design your intentional life?

“There are no solutions, only tradeoffs.” – Thomas Sowell.

We also reference the Survival Podcast episode 3077 – Now is the Time to Build Independent Income. This is a Marketing and side hustle Masterclass.

The storm is coming. How are you preparing your mind and heart?

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.
