This was recorded last year and is two readings of the famous poem -- one intellectual version and a musical one. Though, can a choral version of this poem be classified as non-intellectual?
Scotland is a little ahead of the US in celebrating their Christmas Eve - so join Jaggy Little Thistle as he reads their version of the famous poem. (Recording from a previous year so the intro will be old too!)
This is a replay of the Night Before Christmas as read by our friend Aussieroo!
Join The Tactical Redneck in a reading of The Night Before Christmas.

Today, we are taking the last step in creating your life strategic plan in simple terms that everyone can understand -- especially everyone who is along for the journey. This process can be used for you the individual, you the family or community, or you the business and the key to success is to cut out all the unnecessary and extra crap and really focus down on just a few things that bring you to the place you have described that you want to be -- the life you WANT TO LIVE ON YOUR TERMS.
Last go-around, you chose three areas of focus -- with those in hand, the next step is to choose an accomplishment or two in each area that you will achieve in the next 12-18 months. We will walk through this today using the Holler Neighbors as an example.

Main topic of the Show: Set Your Accomplishments
It has been a bit of work, this life plan thing. In past years, I would breeze through describing the process on a podcast and leave you to it. Many of you started then stalled. Hell, I have stalled this go around a few times myself as life got chaotic.
TO be ready for FINALLY defining the short term accomplishments you will need to have in order to build the life you want to live, you should have already defined your purpose, set up where the rubber meets the road by creating a vision, and chosen three long-term areas of focus after doing a swot.
If you are like me, you have a whiteboard or chalkboard with stuff written and rewritten as you refine it into what you want.
Vision: The Holler community supports healing and mutual prosperity by connecting resources and knowledge of agorists and homesteaders who wish to build a peaceful, voluntary alternative to society’s violent systems.
Purpose: The holler provides an inviting, supportive place where aspiring agorists and homesteaders can connect, rejuvenate, share best practices, and prosper together in freedom.
Areas of Focus
Community: Be a strong community based on shared principles, clear and direct communication, and facilitate each member to focus where our talents and interests are best suited.
Sustainability: Create enough ongoing, stable income and other resources so that the community can prosper.
Health and Happiness: Community members make time for personal priorities, physical and mental health, and develop the skills and knowledge for supporting others in their quest for finding the life they want to live on their terms.
Today’s example comes from me alone - and you can do this alone, but in the case of the holler, we have more work to do as a community to really hone in on where we want to go. It is slow going because not everyone here has done this before and they need time to think, discuss and decide.
Our last podcast of 2020 will be this coming friday. I want to go back to a late episode in 2019, review how things went this year, and share with you my word for 2021 -- should be a fun time.
Freedom is a choice, not a right. In fact, no right is a right unless you take it. Funny when you think about it -- I was just lamenting that I simply do not understand the mentality of people who want to control other, to cause them to suffer, to have them enslaved. And yet, many people have this desire. They are quick to condemn others based on little real fact. They are willing to attack them and their families for a difference of opinion. They are willing to crash our economy and set up “wilderness spaces” where humans may not go in the wake of their economic destruction -- destruction that has a real costs in terms of human lives. And despite that evil push in our world, freedom is still there. Ready for you when you decide to be free. But you can;t have it both ways can you? You cannot make other people submit to you and still live a free life.
Make it a great week!

We run a 3D design and printing business. We have been selling online since 2016. We also sell locally, as well as run multiple side hustles like reselling on eBay and other e-commerce platforms, transporting dogs, dog sitting, and small engine repair.
We have a small homestead called Half-Ass Acres where we are just starting out. We sold our house in Florida and moved to Tennessee. We bought our land outright and have been building and adding ever since.
Topic
3D Printing: Why do it? How can you make money with 3d printing, what technology do you need to learn, what kind of printer should you get, what is “difficult” about 3d prin ting, what about getting designs? AND MUCH MORE!

Today we take the third step in developing your live strategic plan by choosing three areas of focus for you to take in order to reach your vision and purpose.
Tales from the Prepper Pantry
Operation Independence
Main topic of the Show: Choose Three Places of Focus
OLD Vision: The Holler community supports healing and mutual prosperity by tapping into and connecting the resources and knowledge of agorists and homesteaders who wish to build an alternative to the violent systems currently used to support our society.
UPDATED Vision: The Holler community supports healing and mutual prosperity by connecting resources and knowledge of agorists and homesteaders who wish to build a peaceful, voluntary alternative to society’s violent systems.
Purpose: The holler provides an inviting, supportive place where aspiring agorists and homesteaders can connect, rejuvenate, share best practices, and prosper together in freedom.
With that in mind, we need to assess what we have and where we are going and choose three places to put our focus for development or improvement. Three areas of focus where making big forward strides will steer this plan to the right place. The three things need to be the best choice for our community both from a “making progress” standpoint and from a “makes a difference” standpoint.
A great way to start seeking these three places to put your effort is through the good old traditional SWOT analysis.
What is a SWOT? https://www.liveplan.com/blog/what-is-a-swot-analysis-and-how-to-do-it-right-with-examples/
Questions to ask
Strengths:
Internally, what do we have that helps toward our vision?
Weaknesses:
Internally, what holds us back from the vision?
Opportunities:
Externally, what things outside our group can help us toward our vision?
Threats:
Externally, what external things could hurt us most?
Make a list/brainstorm
Example:
Strength: Building relationships and mutual exchange
Weakness: Tracking and clerical
Place to focus/endstate/perpetual
