Weekly Shopping Report

Frugality Tip from Margo
Different stores have different prices and I make a separate grocery list for a couple of stores. Things like eggs, produce, and baking supplies all come from Aldi. If I'm running into the grocery store that is closer to home, I also make it a point to check out their BOGO section, you can save a few bucks right there. Make a list of the things you buy often and check the prices at different stores, you would be shocked at some of the differences.
I use a specific coffee creamer that they have the grocery store, but Walmart has it for $1.50 less, so I'll grab a couple when I'm there.

Main topic of the Show: Imposter’s Complex
This was inspired by a talk with Amy Dingmann over at a Farmish Kind of LIfe
I have been reading a book called Dotcom Secrets by Russle Brunson -it was recommended by John Bush
People getting mad about me making money, or not wanting to know when things are for sale.
Decision: The few who are mad at me for selling things don’t really support me so I need to be ok with leaving them behind
>>>What has happened with training webinars over the past two years - we do them better and why<<<
The Big Decision: If I invest more in training, there are better results for the people I want to help - a win/win
Which brings me to imposter’s complex: Did a live Radio Show Last night and the feedback was that Tim and I were inspiring.
We had no idea what we were doing!
Enter Imposter’s Complex.
Concept: you just need to be a chapter or two ahead of the people you are helping to be able to teach them and do NOT need to be an “expert”. To them you are an expert. In fact you probably teach it bette than someone who is miles ahead.
Ways I have used this:
When you get up and post something like: Going for a daily walk can change your life, and you realize you only went on three last week, are you an imposter? Or are in the fake it til you make it time?
Feeling Imposter’s complex is normal. Not moving forward because of it though, that is a huge mistake/
Make it a great week!

Today, we talk about what the #my3things method is, why a strategic plan for yourself and your life is a powerful tool, and we cover how to create a vision statement for your life strategic plan. (Or your family strategic plan).
This is the first in a series of episodes explaining how to use the #my3things method to become more successful, productive and to build the life you choose on your terms.
Russia invaded the Ukraine - that is what the headlines say. For days, I have watched people hyper focus on this international event. Then the joke memes started. Then the prepper facebook group got amped up about getting prepared via purchasing all the things. Then more humorous memes happened.
Then it was Friday - and I had extra time to spend on something. And I had a decision to make.
Today, I will share with you how I am moving beyond the crisis reporting drama of this world event to do my best to focus on the things that will move my life forward despite the fight with Russia, or the Ukraine, depending on which side is the side du jour.

Main Topic: Living with War
War sucks - and what happens next from our country’s leaders to this altercation could have a pretty dramatic impact on our lives. Or very little. And the hell of the matter is that it is entirely out of our control.
So, then, how do we live with war?
Make it a great week!

This is a shorter episode where I share something that occurs to me while out on a walk. We focus so much on getting things done around here that sometimes it is easy to forget to make time for your mind to wander and a walk is a great way to do that. Today, I have some thoughts on the great tradeoff of control for other things such as reach, security, money and more. There is a constant pressure between these things and many folks do not assess their choices with this knowledge in hand.
