Weekly Shopping Report

None this week

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. 

Operation Independence

  • Selling a ram alive vs in packages
  • Headed to Next-steps.info – you can still get tickets!

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

  • John’s selling and email system vs what we do here
  • Keeping an open mind

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

  • Current email list will have no changes
  • News lists will happen over time

>>>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:

  • Going on autopilot - and getting out of it
  • Writing Marketing Copy – fake it til you make it
  • Launching the podcast
  • Being “OK” with losing listeners because I sell things, have sponsors, etc (It hurts but wont in the long run)
  • Reminding myself to be disciplined with #my3things (Free webinar)

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!

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?

  • Situational awareness vs obsession (Time is investment)
  • What does war mean if it happens?
    • Profit opportunities (John’s email)
    • Terrible loss of life - military activation
    • We are not as tough as we once were and this is a problem
    • If it goes on: supply chain issues for things that are not easily available/made here
    • Violence against us citizens abroad and possibly on us soil 
  • What if it doesn’t happen?
    • We know something will happen - just not how far the US admin will go
    • If you go all in on “we are going to war” and it does not happen - you lose
    • If you make decisions motivated by fear, they are usually the wrong ones
  • So what do you do?
    • What can you do? Time is an investment. Investing time in learning resilience is something that pays off forever, no matter what happens. Learning new skills will help you if we seriously go to a wwIII scale war. Investing is personal and community stability is worthwhile. Invest in relationships
    • Keep moving your life and your community forward 
  • Situational Awareness is key - obsessing on wargames will only undermine your success (Jack Spirko’s video)

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.
